Beloit, Kansas City Park-Chautauqua

Swimming, disc golf, and fishing access all come together at this free city park campground in Beloit, Kansas. The park sits alongside a river and gives campers direct access to water activities without the cost of a developed recreation area. It's a no-frills stop, but a functional one.

The campground provides four RV sites with full hookups, including electric, water, and sewer connections, along with concrete pads and fire rings. A dump station is available on-site, though reviewers note it's located in front of a white building and not clearly marked. Bonnie L. describes it as a "park with disk golf, playground equipment, public swimming pool," which gives a clear sense of the surrounding facilities. Sites are first-come, first-served with no reservations required, and stays are capped at 10 days within any 60-day period. A donation box is available for those who want to contribute.

Campers who want more developed options nearby can look at Glen Elder State Park Campground or Glen Elder State Park Cabins, both roughly 12 miles to the west. Those planning a longer route through north-central Kansas can browse campsites near Jamestown to fill out an itinerary.

The campground draws a low volume of visitors, with reviewers noting just one or two rigs on site at a time. Summer is the most practical season given the swimming pool and water access. Arrive early in the day to secure one of the four hookup sites.
