Gunn Park in Fort Scott, Kansas

I recently made a trip to Fort Scott to collect information and take some photos of Gunn Park. The city park is on the western side of the city and has RV and tent camping. There are 14 RV sites with water and electricity. The cost is $10 per night.

It seems the city tried to squeeze in the RV sites. There is basically one post with two 30-amp connections, one above the other. Water connections are set on each side of the electrical post. There is essentially one wide gravel back-in site to accommodate two RVs, so you’d be really close to your neighbor.

For tent campers, there is a designated area for setting up a tent. There are no specific tent pads or sites, just an open area. There was one water hydrant. The tent camping fee is $5 per night.

Gunn Park has over five miles of trails for walking and biking. There are two ponds for fishing, a disc golf course, two playgrounds, and numerous picnic shelters. It’s a nice park. I look forward to coming back to stay overnight sometime.
