Banner Creek

6 ReviewsAdd Review

Gravel pull-through sites spread across several loops give Banner Creek Campground a spacious feel, with ample room between individual spots. Located just west of Holton, this city-managed facility sits on the shores of Banner Creek Reservoir and draws a mix of RV campers and tent users seeking full hookups and lake access.

The campground features electric, water, and sewer connections at most sites, along with clean restroom facilities and hot showers. Stacy Z. notes "everything is very clean and well kept" while praising the helpful camp hosts who maintain the grounds. Several loops provide options for different camping preferences, from wooded sites backing up to trees to open spots with direct views of the water.

Lake access makes this a practical base for fishing and boating, with boat-in camping available for those arriving by water. The south side of the reservoir offers particularly good lake views from certain sites. Evening winds provide natural cooling during hot summer nights, and the grassy areas attract fireflies after dark. Campers can explore additional options at camping near Holton for variety in the region.

The combination of full hookups, attentive hosts, and water access makes Banner Creek well-suited for RV travelers and families wanting amenities alongside outdoor recreation.

Great campground

We wanted some place close for a relaxing weekend. This was the perfect spot! Campsites have plenty of space between sites, beautiful views and camp hosts were very helpful. Mostly pull through sites.

Very nice campsite...great lake-side views

Very nice campground just west of Holton and about a 35 minute drive north of Topeka. Not many primitive campers there at the time but plenty of RV'ers.
