Kansas
1. Base Camp Humboldt — Humboldt (the road-trip stopover)
A genuinely well-equipped stopover between Tulsa and Kansas City, with a stocked pond right outside your cabin door and a game barn for rainy days. A strong pick if you’re road-tripping through the region.

3. C2T Ranch and Campground — Plainville (the peaceful hidden gem)
A perfect-rated, genuinely peaceful ranch campground in rural Kansas with sites so spread out that privacy is never an issue. Several full-time van travelers call this one of their favorite stops anywhere in the country.
