Lyndon

The Best Camping Near Lyndon, Kansas

Very scenic grassy fields and trees along a reservoir that has fishing, boating, &amp; canoeing. Great birds fir birding. Great lakeside campsites.

Great for fisherman and birders 

clean campground. good facilities. 
open space. 


Beautiful Flint Hills lake

Lots of space and good fishing. Secure camping and clean on site bathroom facilities. Close enough to town for convenience but far enough away you get to see a lot of stars.

This is a nicely maintained state park. All the amenities you'd expect. No complaints. Truck stop a few miles away that had a really good breakfast and giant cinnamon rolls!

Nice campground, good breakfast nearby

Awesome place

This was one of our favorite Kansas State Parks.  At the end of May, it was almost empty.   We had our pick of sites.  We got a prime tree shaded spot on the water.  In fairness, most sites are on the water or have a water view.  Spectacular sunsets.

There was only 1 small bath house open while we were there, but it was clean and the shower was hot. It was one of those push button kind that only stayed on for a min.  Not a problem to just keep pushing.

We road bikes, but the cold spring winds made kayaking impossible.  In the summer,  I can see why this place would be a fun destination.   Swimming,  boating,  fishing,  horses,  archery,  wide open spaces. 

The roads within the park are not the best.  Also, online reservations must be made 48 hrs in advance, otherwise,  its day by day.

Everything you need is here

The fivestar loop is decent for tent camping. The sites were fairly small and jammed next to each other, and half of them didn't have great tree cover, but they all have a nice firepit and picnic table.  It was super duper windy off of the lake for us, so be ready for wind.  Bathrooms were nice and clean and the staff were very nice.

Primitive camping was small and exposed, but fun

Spent the weekend here and glad we had reservations prior as it was full even though it was the end of October and the weather wasn't the best.  Close to Melvern and the railroad tracks so if the sound of trains all night isn't your thing, then pick somewhere else.  Excellent clean restrooms and showers.  Great views of the lake from many spots. Also good cell service.  Only 8 miles from Lyndon where there are restaurants, gas and a dollar store although no grocery store.

Remote quiet camping with nice facilities

Beautiful campgrounds with so many activities available! The general store is super helpful, as they sell firewood and ice, and have kayak and canoe rentals. There are a few swim beaches, and plenty of sand to sit in and relax. Our actual campsite was great and came equipped with a firepit and picnic table, and we could walk to the lakeshore. We will be back!
