Nestled in the wide-open prairies of central Kansas, Pheasant Run Campground & RV Park offers families a chance to slow down, explore nature, and enjoy some genuine, quality time together.
Situated right outside of the small town of Kinsley, Kansas, known as Midway USA, this brand-new Kansas RV park and campground combines modern amenities with the natural beauty of the Kansas prairie.
Why Families Will Love Pheasant Run
Tim Weddington, the owner and mind behind Pheasant Run, designed the destination as a place where everyone, from toddlers to grandparents, can enjoy the beauty and adventure of the outdoors without giving up comfort.
- 22 spacious RV sites with full hookups make for a family friendly camping site that is simple and stress-free. Their choice to build wide driveways and level pads means visitors spend less time setting up and more time enjoying their stay.
- Eight one-bedroom cabins (coming in 2026) will be an amazing option for families traveling without an RV, featuring queen beds, climate control, private bathrooms, and prairie-inspired décor.
- Clean restrooms and hot showers are a big plus, so that even long stays stay comfortable for the whole crew.
Nature at Your Doorstep
Everywhere you turn at Pheasant Run, the prairie is alive with wildlife.
Families who early birds have a good chance at spotting a whitetail deer making its way across the fields. The kids will have a blast pointing out pheasants, meadowlarks, and other native birds that fill the skies with sound and color.
The campground’s three-acre private pond is also fully stocked with bass, making it the perfect spot for catch-and-release fishing. Parents can cast a line with their kids and teach them the ropes, which can lead to a family-friendly fishing contest to see who can catch the first or biggest fish of the day.
While the days are full of wildlife and nature, the evenings bring their own, different kind of magic. The prairie sunsets are spectacular, and once the skies darken, stargazing becomes a highlight and unforgettable experience for so many guests.
Away from city lights, kids can watch for constellations and even planets more clearly than ever before, turning a simple night outdoors into an impromptu astronomy lesson.
