Confirmed from Arkalon Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Clean park featuring concrete pads, fire rings, grassy areas and picnic tables, along with bathrooms and showers.
What runners say about Arkalon Park
“(The current one is very functional but could use some updating) We enjoyed the roomy spaces with tables and fire pits, the bird sanctuary, and the well maintained nature trails.”
“We have traveled now for 9 weeks from CA to Maine and Quebec, now heading back, and this may be the most beautiful and well-maintained place we’ve stayed.”
“Our pad, A4, was level concrete and had picnic table with a cabana, bbq, fire ring, lots of fire wood, and afternoon shade.”
“It’s quiet and nested away from the main roads Beautiful area with older but very serviceable showers and bathroom.”
A very nice RV park just outside Liberal KS. The Camp Host helped us when we were having trouble finding the camp. I want to send out a heartfelt Thank you! You went the extra mile for my husband and I. The place nice quiet and has everything you need available.
The park is green, lots of grass and trees! Concrete pads, picnic tables and sunshades. Lots of room. Bathrooms are ok. Best park we have stayed at in a month long trip. We would consider it for a destination just to enjoy the peace and nature. As a bonus, there is a bird sanctuary and several nature trails.
This park was a pleasure to camp in. We cant wait to come when the new planned bath house is complete.

We even enjoyed the train!
A beautiful Park situated in the meanders of the Cimerron River run by the City of Liberal just 7 miles west. Outstanding, large concrete plans pad sites with water and electric for only $15. Bathrooms are functional and clean, and camp host is friendly and helpful.
