![]() The closest coordinate is Lake Jacomo Shelter 14, Lee’s Summit, Mo., 64086 Enjoy wildlife (lots of deer, wild turkey), a waterfall, streams, some old structures, and elevation changes. There are shorter trails nearby in the Sanctuary (Old Kate Trail). The trail is a loop of about 2.5 miles that takes just over an hour to complete. You’ll want some hiking boots or shoes instead of tennis shoes as the terrain can get muddy if it’s been raining. White Tail Trail – Parkville Nature Sanctuary Fewer than 15 minutes from Rockhurst in Swope Park. You may want to use navigation as the trail is not always well marked. The trail is about seven miles long or more and can take three hours. This is rated as “moderate” because of rocky terrain so you’ll want boots or hiking shoes. Here are a few of the best hiking and walking trails within a 30-minute drive from Rockhurst:Ħ305-6001 Oakwood Rd, Kansas City, MO 64132 Kansas City has so many things to do and there are plenty of options in or close to the city that offer a nice escape from the daily grind. The shower stall had no soap holder in the shower, but on the plus side each shower room had a lockable door and a curtain between the shower and the dressing room.Sometimes you just need a break from screens, stress, and even the city. There was no hand soap (a trend I am finding in government-operated bathhouses one I don’t like.) There was an electric hand dryer. The bathhouse is aging and seemed dingy, but clean enough. The bathhouse has 2 urinals, 2 toilet stalls, 3 sinks, and 2 shower stalls. The interior lights were somewhat dim, which may explain some dark corners where debris and dirt was still around. It is built into a hill (Facebook / spousal guess that this allows it to double as a storm shelter), so there were no windows other than on the front side. The locations were not necessarily well place, in my opinion, but doable.īathhouse : There is a single, centrally located bathhouse which was reasonably clean. Otherwise there were three hydrants around the park where you can get water in your containers. Water : Water connections are available only at the full hookup RV campsites. I used a basic analyzer/surge protector, and the 30-amp circuit passed the tests. Full hookup sites have 50/30/20 amp service. It was a walk of about 50 yards across a grassy area to the bathhouse.Įlectric : 30/20 amp at standard electric RV sites none at tent sites. The site has a firepit with grate, a wooden picnic table, and nice trees for shade. The driveway was gravel and nearly level. Site : We stayed in Site #37, a back-in site with a double wide driveway, because the driveway wasn’t deep enough to leave the car in front of the trailer. We came without reservations in mid-week, and the hosts were quite accommodating.Īccess : There should be no problems with access in any kind of vehicle. There is a gate at the entrance to the campground, and you must ring the host for entry. Access to and thru the campground is easy. The sites are nice and large, and most have big shade trees, although some sites are in full sun. There are some pull-thru sites, and a number of back-in sites. The Lake Jacomo Campground is well-groomed and clean, with sites surrounding a central bathhouse. The park is a few miles south of I-70 and east of I-470, with easy access via good roads. Fleming Park has boating, hiking, water sports, and historic sites. ![]() It is operated by the county, along with another campground (Blue Springs) in Fleming Park. Lake Jacomo Campground is located in the Jackson County, MO, Fleming Park, a large 7,800 acre park just east of Kansas City with two lakes.
