Baxter Springs Riverside Park, near Baxter Springs, Kansas, is a straightforward spot for those who appreciate the basics of camping without the frills. This small campground offers a no-nonsense experience with essential amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, and a boat ramp for easy access to fishing on the Spring River.

Visitors have highlighted the peaceful atmosphere, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy nature. One camper noted, “It’s a quiet spot to camp without many campers at the time,” which is perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle. The grassy areas provide ample space for setting up tents, and there’s even a playground nearby for the kids.

If you’re into fishing, you’ll find some nice spots along the riverbank, and the local rodeo arena across the river adds a bit of local flavor to your stay. While the facilities are basic, with porta potties and no showers, the low nightly rates make it an affordable option for both tent campers and RVs. Just remember to bring your own firewood, as it’s not provided on-site.

Great Escape

Small campground with the essentials, no frills. For those who like roughing it. Sign says to pay at the local police station- but the police do sometimes swing by and will collect your fee at the campground. I went in Sept-Oct of 2016 & really enjoyed myself. Was a very quiet spot to camp without many campers at the time. Across the river is a small playground in addition to the one at the campground. I am not sure if swimming is safe here, only saw people fishing with waders on.

Route 66 camping in Kansas

This is a small municipal campground just outside of town on the banks of Spring River. It is a no frills campground- porta potties that need to be emptied and a big open field with no set campsites. There are a few scattered picnic tables and grills and even few fire rings. But, it’s $5 a night for tents and $10 for RVs, which are separated from each other. There is a boat ramp and some nice fishing spots, but it looks like getting in the water is the preferred method. Across the river there is a local rodeo arena.
