Accessible via drive-in access, Missile Silo Adventure Campground provides a unique overnight experience with tent sites positioned around a converted missile silo structure. The privately managed campground charges $35 per night and accepts reservations for its open tent placement areas. Campers can build fires directly on the silo structure itself, creating an unusual setting for evening gatherings.
Basic amenities include drinking water, toilets, and firewood availability, though one visitor noted water wasn't available during their July 2021 stay. Cell service reaches the site, and both pets and alcohol are permitted. The campground sits near a lake and remains under development according to recent visitors. For shower facilities, campers can access nearby Wilson RV Park after paying a park entrance fee.
Description
This is the site of a decommissioned Atlas F Missile Silo which was abandoned by the Air Force in the 60's.
You will receive a historical tour of the Missile Base property and the underground Launch Control Center with a tunnel that leads to the 186 ft deep Missile Silo. (This is a construction zone, as the bunker is being renovated into an underground home. Be prepared to sign liability waivers.)
Located in the Smokey Hills of Kansas, you will be camping in beautiful fields with great views of a 250 MW windfarm.
Hike over a mile of trails on the property and pick out your own camp spot.
Join other guests at the top of the Missile Silo for a campfire at night and enjoy stargazing.
Just mins away from the local tavern and restaurants in Wilson.
Nearby is Lake Wilson, one of the largest and cleanest lakes in the State, there are water sports and Epic rated mountain biking trails.
Just to let you know this is a primitive Campground. The outhouse has a composting bucket toilet.
