Since 1995, the annual Kicker Country Stampede has been offering the best of country music's live acts to fans in the heart of America ... Kansas. Held on the last full weekend in June, the four day festival offers mulitple stages, interactive exhibits, a saloon for the adults, camping at Tuttle Creek State Park, great eats and plenty of fun for the whole family.
Tuttle Creek State Park itself offers plenty to see and do. With over 12,500 acres of water, approximately 100 miles of rugged, wooded shoreline to explore, a swimming beach, nature trails and mountian biking trails, visitors could spend weeks exploring nature. Scenic picnic areas, an 18-hole disc golf course, volleyball courts, horse shoe pits, a shooting range and an archery range round out the offerings.
2,400 campsites, bath houses with showers and restrooms, dumping stations, and a limited number of electrical hookups make camping a breeze and if roughing it isn't your style, there are even eleven cabins that offer full kitchens with basic pots and pans, table services for six, full bathrooms, heating and A/C, picnic tables, grills and fire-rings.
As for music, fans are more than just covered on that front. This year's lineup is filled to the brim with some of the biggest names in country music.
