Map showing campground location near Pleasanton, Kansas

Linn County Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

All-first-come, first-served sites at this county-managed campground on the shore of 2,600-acre Lake LaCygne means arriving early pays off. The lake is a cooling reservoir for a coal-fired power plant, so swimming and water skiing are off the table; fishing boats are permitted. Around 113 sites spread across several loops include water and electric hookups, with a handful of full hookups, though those tend to stay occupied by long-term residents. Cell service is limited. The bathhouse gets generally positive marks for cleanliness, and a dump station sits in the back of the park. Deer have been spotted moving through the sites. Anglers and places to camp near Pleasanton who want direct water access will find this a practical base.

Great spots

We camp here lots through out the summer. Tucked in campsites with full hook ups. Great spot for kids to play but also great for couple wanting a spot. Bathhouse is really clean with hot water

Nice with lots of shade

Lots of trees lots of wildlife Had deer walk right through the campground when we were there. shower house/ rest room we’re clean for the most part but a little rundown. Also if you have kids that go camping with you chances are your cell phones will not work so the kids probably will be very bored lol

Nice views!

Located in east central Kansas on 2600 acre Lake LaCygne (cooling reservoir for KCPL coal-fired power plant). No swimming or skiing allowed, only fishing boats. We stayed on site 112 in View Point Loop next to some permanent residents. There’s no stay limit here so some sites are very messy. Paved roads with gravel sites having W/E, mostly 30A but a few 50A like ours. Check in at the Marina to see which ones are available at this all first come first serve cg. They even have a few FHU sites but I imagine they are all taken by the residents. Nice dump station located in the back of the park along with a few rustic cabins. We enjoyed a waterfront site but there were many 30A sites available in a more wooded setting in several different loops. There are about 113 sites here.
