Quick Overview

Andover's got several RV dump stations serving the east Wichita metro area, and some of them won't cost you a dime. This bedroom community of 15,000 sits at the junction of US-54 (Kellogg Avenue) and K-96, making it a natural pit stop for RVers cutting through south-central Kansas on I-35 or heading to the Flint Hills.

You'll find a mix here. One station operates on McConnell Air Force Base's FamCamp -- if you've got military access, that's your free option. The paid facility serves the general public without restrictions. Neither station sees the volume you'd encounter in downtown Wichita, so wait times are practically nonexistent even on summer weekends.

Access is straightforward. US-54/Kellogg is a divided four-lane highway built for commercial traffic, and both stations sit within two miles of major intersections. The Kansas Turnpike runs along Andover's western edge with exits at K-96 and 21st Street. Since the turnpike went cashless in 2024, make sure you've got a K-TAG transponder or you'll get a bill mailed to your registration address.

Most RVers use Andover as a quick service stop rather than a destination. El Dorado State Park is 30 miles east if you're looking for full hookups and proper camping. Check our listings below for current hours and exact locations.

Traveling to Andover by RV

US-54/US-400 (Kellogg Avenue) is your main east-west route through Andover. It's a divided highway with center turn lanes and handles big rigs without issue. K-96 runs north-south and connects to I-135 near Newton. The Kansas Turnpike (I-35) parallels the city's western boundary with exits at K-96 and 21st Street.

Commuter traffic clogs Kellogg between 7-9 AM and 4-6 PM on weekdays. Plan your sanidump stop outside those windows if possible. No special RV restrictions exist on city streets, but most are residential with on-street parking.

Overnight parking isn't officially permitted in public lots. Walmart on North Andover Road historically allowed RV parking, but always check with management before settling in. Your better bet is El Dorado State Park 30 miles east, which has proper campgrounds with dump stations and doesn't mind you showing up after dark.

Dump Station Costs in Andover

Andover's several stations split evenly: some free (a portion%) and a portion% charge a fee. The free option requires military ID and base access at McConnell AFB's FamCamp. If you're retired military or active duty, that's a no-brainer. The paid station serves civilians and typically runs $10-15 for a dump and rinse.

Compare that to Wichita's commercial RV parks, which often bundle dump fees with other services and charge $20-30. Andover's pricing reflects its role as a quick-service suburb rather than a destination. You're paying for convenience and shorter lines, not amenities.

No station here charges extra for gray water or requires a minimum stay. Pull in, dump, rinse, and roll. The whole process takes 15 minutes if nobody's ahead of you.

Free: 5 stations (56%)

Paid: 4 stations (44%)

Explore the Andover Area

Andover sits squarely in Tornado Alley. An F5 killed 17 people here in 1991, and an EF3 damaged over 1,000 buildings in 2022. If you're traveling March through June, keep a NOAA weather radio tuned and know where the nearest storm shelter is. Most gas stations and big-box stores have designated safe rooms.

The Kansas Turnpike ditched cash tolls in 2024. It's all electronic now. Get a K-TAG before you hit I-35 or expect a bill mailed to wherever your rig is registered. The rates are higher for plate-by-mail than transponder users.

Fuel up before hitting the turnpike. Andover's truck stops on Kellogg offer better diesel prices than the service plazas, and you won't pay the captive-audience markup.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dump Stations in Andover

Where can I dump my RV tanks in Andover?

Andover has 2 RV dump stations available to travelers. The main options include the Military Park at McConnell AFB FamCamp for eligible military personnel and retirees, plus private RV park facilities that serve both guests and non-guests for a fee.

Are there free dump stations in Andover?

Currently, there are no completely free public dump stations in Andover. Both available facilities charge fees, though military personnel with base access can use McConnell's facility as part of their camping privileges. The private RV park charges around $8-12 for non-guest dump access.

How much does it cost to use a dump station in Andover?

Paid dump stations in Andover typically charge $8-12 for service, which includes black and gray water dumping plus fresh water fill. The private RV park facility also provides rinse capabilities and is generally well-maintained with good access for larger rigs.

What should I bring to an RV dump station?

Always bring disposable gloves, your sewer hose with proper fittings, and a rinse hose if the station doesn't provide one. Pack some extra rinse water in case the facility's water is turned off, and bring exact change since some locations use unmanned payment systems.

Can I access McConnell Air Force Base dump station as a civilian?

The McConnell AFB FamCamp dump station requires valid military ID for base access. Active duty, retirees, and their dependents can use the facility, but civilians without military affiliation cannot access the base. Check the private RV park option instead if you don't have military credentials.

Do I need military ID to use Andover's free dump station?

Yes. The free station operates at McConnell Air Force Base FamCamp and requires base access. You'll need active duty, retired, or dependent military ID to get through the gate. The paid civilian station is your alternative if you don't have credentials.

Can I get through Andover without paying Kansas Turnpike tolls?

Not easily. I-35 is the only limited-access highway through this part of Kansas. You can take US-54 and local roads, but it adds 30-45 minutes. The turnpike is all-electronic now, so grab a K-TAG transponder or accept the mailed bill.

Where's the nearest dump station with potable water refill?

El Dorado State Park, 30 miles east on US-54. Their dump stations include fresh water spigots and are open year-round. Andover's stations focus on waste disposal only -- bring your own water or fill at truck stops along Kellogg.

Is it safe to visit Andover during tornado season?

Thousands of people live here year-round, so yes, but stay alert March through June. Download a weather app with push alerts, keep NOAA radio on while driving, and know where storm shelters are. The 2022 EF3 proved modern warning systems work -- zero deaths despite massive property damage.

Do Andover dump stations allow big Class A motorhomes?

Both stations accommodate large rigs. US-54/Kellogg was built for semi trucks, and the facilities have pull-through layouts. McConnell FamCamp sees plenty of 40-foot coaches. Just avoid rush hour traffic on Kellogg if you're nervous about lane changes.

What is the highest-rated dump station in Andover?

The highest-rated station is Flint Hills RV with a rating of 5.0/5 stars.

Are there free dump stations in Andover?

Yes — there are free RV waste disposal options available near Andover.
