The Campground, Stockyards District

Enjoyable environment with a large drink menu and some solid food offerings. --- My significant other and I came here on a Sunday night in November while visiting from out of town. We had originally planned to get a full dinner, but after a heavy lunch we decided to go lighter on the food and grab a couple cocktails. The establishment is in the midst of a revived warehouse district. The ambiance inside was dark and charming, with candles at each table and plants and outdoorsy art surrounding us. It wasn't super busy when we first arrived, but was quite packed by the end of the night. We were seated at a table by the window. The service was OK - a bit slow and waiter was a bit curt, but not concerning or outright rude. We each had two cocktails throughout the night, and then split 2 appetizers and an entree. For the cocktails, I had the Orange Negroni and the Desert Paloma, while my significant other went for the Old Fashioned and the Grief Motif. The Negroni and Old Fashioned were solid - as we expected and not especially extraordinary. I enjoyed my Desert Paloma - the tequila and mixes blended well together and were refreshing. The Grief Motif was interesting - I did not hate it, but the mix of ingredients was interesting and certainly didn't remind me of the perfect Fall/Winter drink that it was to be described. The appetizers we went with were the Brussel Sprouts and the Apple/Kohlrabi. The Sprouts were especially Brussel-y but well prepped, and the Apple Dish was simple yet pleasant and enjoyable. For the entree, we went with the Butternut Squash as neither of us were that hungry. While the Squash itself was good, the Kale was overwhelming for me and made the dish taste more 'earthy' than I was looking for. My significant other liked this more than I did, however. Overall this was a solid experience, even if I felt some of the food and drink offerings didn't always consistently excel. We left with a T-Shirt as well, so certainly are fans of our time here. I would definitely like to come back during warmer weather to sit outside and get the more true 'campground' experience, and also try the rave-reviewed burger when my appetite allows for it.

I have been wanting to try this place out for awhile. I picked it for our super club night. I thought it was amazing. I ordered the smash burger and fries. It was delicious. I don’t think this place is for everyone. There is a couple of people in our supper club that are picky eaters. I don’t mean discerning, I mean they like chicken nuggets. Lol. Not sure why they want to be in a supper club. But they even liked the smash burger and fries. The cocktails are inventive. I’m a vodka girl and I enjoyed my cocktail. The Olives were delicious too. To cold to sit outside but in the summer this place would be a nice hangout. Service was good and friendly. My only complaint is if you are inside in the evening it’s very dimly lit. I’m sure for ambiance. But for the old people it is a little hard to see. 😜

The Campground is completely charming. The staff, cocktails, wine and food are some of the best in Kansas City! The pork collar was so tender, flavorful, I can hardly wait to have it again. The duck Breast was full of flavor, rich and delicious. I’ve got to get back for the catfish, asap. Thank you Chef Jeff!

A small menu but great options! We got the smash burger, the pork collar, fries, and goat cheese tart and they were all delicious! I got the old fashion and it was very good! They have both indoor and outdoor seating. It’s a pretty small indoor area so I would recommend getting a reservation if the weather isn’t great and you want to be inside.

Fun outdoor patio space with delicious cocktails and a few small plates. The nose dive cocktail was incredibly tasty - I loved the combo of peach, tequila, and cinnamon. The mushroom stroganoff was also great, very light and creamy. The s'mores tart was okay but a bit simple. I think it could have benefitted from a bit more crunch.

This is hands down the best bar in KC. The natural wine list is incredible, the cocktails are all delicious, and the burger is the best in town. Also, the owners and staff are the kindest people you’ll ever meet. I can’t say enough positive things about this place! Thank you Campground for keeping everyone safe and always making everyone feel welcome. We love this place!

I had a wonderful time here, it was my first visit after moving to KC recently. I love the variety of seating options here! I only tried the cocktails here, all were winners. Looking forward to coming back to try some food. The staff here can’t be beat, so helpful and friendly, and full of positive energy 😁 I’ll definitely be back!
