Amazon.com Coffeyville, Kansas: Walter P. Johnson Campground

We are staying in Walter P. Johnson City Park Campground in Coffeyville, Kansas. I would suggest this campground to anyone passing through the area. You can easily find this City Park if you are traveling through Coffeyville on US 166 or US 169 you will pass right by the Park. There is a big Steam Locomotive on the east side of town around the intersection of 4th or 5th streets. That is the entrance to the Park. Or you can turn east on 8th street and find the Campground. They advertise $8 a night for water & elect ---- FHU is $12. There is a free dump along Park Avenue near the arena and across from the playground.
