Coldwater Lake

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Quiet enough on a fall holiday weekend to have the whole campground to yourself, Coldwater Lake sits within city limits in Coldwater, Kansas and stays open year-round. All sites are back-in only, though the layout makes backing straightforward, and several spots can handle rigs up to 45 or 50 feet despite the posted 40-foot limit. Full hookups run $26 per night, with electric, water, and sewer available, plus a dump station. Verizon signal holds well here. Campers passing through southwestern Kansas can also consider Kiowa County State Park Campground as an alternative roughly 25 miles north.

Beautiful lakeside camping

Pulled in for the night on trip to Missouri. It was a Columbus Day so no one at entrance booth and nobody answering posted phone numbers. Met a gentleman in a park pickup and he said just pick a spot and put your money in the box when you leave - $26 a night, with electric and water and dump station available. It is beautifully maintained and we had the place to ourselves - liked it so much we stayed 2 nights. Had good Verizon signal. The site data says 40 ft max, but many of the spots could accommodate 45-50 ft without a problem. No pull-thru sites - all spots are back-in, but laid out for easy backing.
