Discover Baxter Springs RV rentals for memorable road trips

Baxter Springs is a city in Cherokee County that began as a trading post around the late 1830s and early 1840s. A community of European and Indian settlers grew around the post, and it was eventually named after a settler who had built a frontier tavern. It was the site of several Union forts during the Civil War (to protect against Confederate raids). The fort was torn down in 1863 when the Union forces relocated to Fort Scott, Kansas. The city became important twice again, once in 1868 when cattle drives used Baxter Springs as a stopover, and again when the discovery of large veins of lead created a mining boom. The main street became part of Route 66 in 1926, leading to a surge in hotels and fast food outlets, and cementing the city's place in popular culture.

The Great Outdoors

Hollister Wildlife Area is situated on land that was purchased by the Kansas Fish and Game Department in 1978; the terrain is rolling hills and pastures, with isolated tree stands dotting the area here and there. Some of the area has been designated as farmland and is actively used for growing crops. The area and other rangelands like it have historically been used by grazing elk and bison, and later for cattle. It is a good area for cycling and primitive camping, but there are no amenities so guests should pack water and other necessities; the park also has a shooting range.

RV Parks

There are numerous RV parks and campgrounds in the area surrounding Baxter Springs, but some of them are in neighboring states, and some may have mobile homes. Your Baxter Springs RV trailer rental is all you will need to have the vacation of your dreams.

Exploring The City

Perhaps the best place to begin your Baxter Springs adventure is at a historic arch bridge just outside the city to the north. It is a part of the old Route 66 and is well preserved, with signs providing information and a good place to take some photos. There is also a Route 66 Visitor's Center that has information and nostalgic memorabilia such as vintage gas pumps and cars. The Baxter Springs Heritage Center and Museum has a number of exhibits from the Civil War, local mining history, and everyday life throughout the city's history. Slightly farther out of town, there is a quilt museum, a historic park, and a repertory theater. Don't forget to take your Baxter Springs motorhome rental for a spin out on the local highways; this is one of the unique attractions of an RV vacation but be warned: it can be addictive.
