Minooka Park

If you are traveling I 70, this is a great spot for a night to break up the drive. Only a few miles off of the highway, clean, quiet, with water and electricity. We stop here almost every trip. Sites are spaced out nicely.

Love this place. Discovered it by accident trying to avoid the loud motels off I70. Love that tent sites are free during the week. It was quiet but I wasn't alone. Sunset was amazing on the reservoir. But the wind comes up quite strong as it cools down so stake that tent down!

This place is GREAT!

First off - Monday - Thursday this place is free if you are in a non electric standard site.

Second, the sites are really beautiful and big with great views. We were right on thr lake and it was stunning for sunrise.

Third, the facilities are fantastic. Clean vault toilets and clean shower facilities with perfect water temp and pressure.

Fourth, the host was really nice and helpful!

You can’t really go wrong here. Would love to come back and spend a few days just relaxing. Plenty of bugs (not as bad as I was expecting though) so plan to bring spray.

Perfect camping! Wide open spaces with lots of room. Beautiful views of the lake and lots of animal activity - cows, bunnies, birds and bugs. Lots of bugs! Not teeming with mosquitos but just many bugs. Some of them are HUGE.

I didn’t think the bugs were that bad just more interesting. Been to many other places with a bug problem and that didn’t seem like this to me. But it as prob enough that I wouldn’t want to hang outside and play cards.

Views in every direction and it’s absolutely stunning! Very peaceful and quiet and literally just perfect.

Plus if you are on a standard non electric tent space it’s free Monday -Thursday!

Great showers and bathrooms too! This is a hidden gem for sure!! Perfect sunrise from our site!

What a beautiful camp site. The ground has plenty of sites, almost all that have a beautiful lake front view. We stayed during the week and it was pretty quite - cows moooin’ were the loudest noise all night! There are walking trails, beaches, a boat launch, and bathrooms. We stayed at a non-electric but there are plenty of hookups to go around too. Happy camping!

Pleasantly surprised at pulling into this great spot after many hours driving cross country. Pick your site then pay online, super easy. Verizon service was great. Very well kept grass and stone site pads. Got a spot right on the lake. We were tempted to spend a second night it was so nice.

Best site I’ve had on my 2 week road trip! Would for sure come back here if I’m ever needing a campsite in Kansas.

Very low humidity. Saw staff cleaning the bathroom as I woke up. Lake is a bit murky but beautiful.

Found this campground via the Dyrt and boy was it beautiful! We had a tent spot on the D loop next to the water. Not much shade available but temps definitely cooled down at night!

There was a swimming beach just a few steps away from our tent spot which was why we chose it. There was a ranger on duty but booking was done online when we arrived.

My ONLY complaint is that the bath houses had no water temperature control in the showers. It was scalding hot water only in every shower on a 100 degree day.

Greta view and amazing lake. The water was clear and just a great experience.

The bathrooms were decent and showers decent aswell.

Campground quiet and folks just enjoyed it and kept to them selves.

T-Mobile and Verizon We used Starlink for internet.

The wife and I were just passing through and found this place from the Dyrt; we had no idea what we were getting in to. The GPS took us off 70, and after about 5 minutes of driving, the earth opened up, revealing a beautiful green hilly valley, with a gorgeous blue body of water. It was immaculate.

The campground itself is very nice as well, with easy to navigate signs, level lots, and plenty of space in between. It was a bit noisy by the playground, but hey, what do you expect. Kids will be kids.

Than bathrooms were not super clean, but other than that, this place seemed pretty amazing. We hope to return when we have more time!

Tent-camped at a walk-in site on S-loop (away from water). Gatehouse attendants were super friendly. Free shower house was clean and serviced regularly. Other loops a bit more busy but seemed nice enough.

I camped in my tent here the last day of January and was very happy with the site. I was the only person who stayed the night and had an awesome time roaming the grounds in evening and morning! There was some snow and the ground and tons of tracks from wildlife when I woke in the morning. It was a beautiful and quiet place to spend a night. Can’t say enough good things about my experience.

What a lovely campground and state park.  It’s 16 minutes off I70 and feels so remote and peaceful- no highway traffic noise. We pulled in late at night on a Monday in October after many hours in the road and were thrilled at how peaceful and clean it was. We stayed at campsite 17 right on the lake in the loop with electric and water hookups, picnic table, fire pit(but no firewood available- gotta buy it at a local fish and tackle store outside the park) No need for leveling blocks, easy to settle in and cook dinner. In the morning we hiked some of the trails and showered in the shower house. Beautiful views of the lake from the trails. We could have stayed another night and will return on another cross-country trip. Lovely!

There’s a beach, fishing and boating. Great for groups and families. Bathrooms are well kept. The campsites are gravel and you have to back in to get the power and water. Phone connection is iffy but honestly you don’t need it. The views of the lake are great and each site has a fire pit and table. Great place.

I think this campground is located on the only lake In Kansas. Very windy. Nights are Gorgeous. Showers and bathrooms on site. Located 10 mins from I-70

With rolling green grassy hills and lake views, this is a pretty campground. The sites are spaced nicely and have tidy gravel drives. Bathrooms are clean. This was a great place to stop for a night while passing through. We have a tiny teardrop style trailer and a tent and we stayed on site E75. We were comfortable and enjoyed our stay.

Great spot. Stumbled upon this one on our road trip and would come back for sure. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

WINDY, WINDY, WINDY!!!!! This campsite is NOT for tents! We arrived hoping to cook and hang out on the lake but the 18mph winds had us huddled near the car as a winds shield. We had to eat sandwiches out of the cooler since anything not nailed down was gone! We even moved the car to help shield the tents as I thought the tent poles might break. If you are in an RV you could enjoy the view from the protection of the RV. Otherwise, keep driving.....

This campsite is along the Wilson Lake. The scenic is awesome. Most campsite is around $19-24 and there’re a few FREE campsite. There’s water, fire ring, picnic table and toilet. We went there early June and it’s super windy. Our tent shake crazy after dark because of the wind. So far it’s a really nice campsite. The people there are quiet and respectful too.

This is a terrific campgrounds. During a two week road trip, stopped here for a night. Highly impressed; the $14 a night rate (tent site), well maintained sites, easy access to bathrooms and bath houses. Will be back, should my travels take me across 70.
