This campground is an oasis of green lawns and mature shade trees on the dry High Plains of northwestern Kansas. After a long day on the road, take a dip in the pool or play a game of mini golf. The whole family can stretch their legs thanks to a playground area. Goodlands High Plains Museum contains a replica of Americas first patented helicopter, built by two local men in 1909. Browse exhibits on High Plains history. Near the city park, a giant 32-foot-high replica of Vincent van Goghs famous sunflower painting rises on an 80-foot easel, a tribute to Kansas status as the Sunflower State. Less than an hour north of Goodland, hike and mountain-bike quiet country roads dotted with yucca and prairie flowers throughout the rugged Arikaree Breaks, a cluster of badlands along the Arikaree River.
