Best Campgrounds near Arkansas City, KS

The campground have 30 and 50 AMP hook ups, and water. The dump station is by the entry, the have a playground, disk golf course shelters, volleyball and basketball courts. Nice and quiet located on the side of the town. The bathroom where close i assume they will open later in the season. I didn’t see anyone, but they have cameras at the entrance. Caseys gas station in a walking distance from the campground. And the best is only $15 a night. $10 just to dump and only $3.50 for primitive camping.

Throughout the day, there was about three people fishing. It felt like I had the place to myself. I’m not sure if it was because it’s just March and nothing’s quite green yet, but the lake was peaceful.

At the time I was there, the waterfall was dried up and I was able to take a trail down to the bottom and see everything up close

I like to rate all of my campgrounds whether I would or wouldn’t camp there again and I can’t wait to take some friends there

Happened across this place from a Facebook posting by the owners and decided to check it out. Not yet gone but will be this summer. Seen it is a new place that is Veteran Owned so I wanted to help bring business by establishing them on this platform. So for those that see this, please help spread the word. Thank you.

Quiet campground with river views

Simple but nice park with decent amenities. Water (in March), Electricity and city WiFi. Playground, disc golf, shelters, basket ball court. Self pay box at $15.00. No picnic tables or individual fire pits but sweet for an overnight.

This is a small, older campground. It is clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful. We probably are a little late in the season, not real busy (early November). Hookups all work, no problems. Sites are gravel and maybe a little rutted, some more gravel would help level things up. I don’t know exactly how KOA differentiates between Holidays and Journeys but this seems more like other Journeys we’ve stayed at.

Nice spot right next to the lake, very pretty and peaceful.

Beautiful lake, sites right next to the water.

It’s a small well manicured campground. (Maybe 12 to 15 sites,). The fees are very fair. It has water electric, dump station, fire rings, and showers. No picnic table. Didn’t see a host so not sure how one pays. The town nearby has a Cenex gas station but few other markets. We realized we needed to put some more miles in, so didn’t camp there. But honestly, if you want an ez overnight off of KS Rte 160 and bypass the busy City of Wichita.. with quiet peaceful sites near/on a River it looked spot-on…!

It was easy thank you very much

Rent kayak, tent and rv friendly. Fishing and hiking. No Wi-Fi but there are usually two bars.

Super nice view and platform. Panicked when the couple with two kids parked behind me. Oh, the yelling. I guess the tension was too much because thankfully they left and never came back. 😂 Other than that terrifying sh** show, I had an absolutely beautiful night. The weather was perfect, and that view was 🔥.

I didn’t use the showers or bathrooms.

The campground seems to have lots of room. It’s on the water and beautiful although on the site Recreation.gov, it says you cannot reserve a spot. It’s first come first serve there were several spots 18.00 per night includes electric and water.

i absolutely loved this campground! such an easy experience, they have all hookups and was a great stop for a cross country trip!

Also known As: Camp The Range

Just outside of Wichita, near WSU is this tucked away tree lined RV park. There are a lot of monthly campers (remote workers, nurses, etc), but mostly all have very nice setups!! Very clean park.

We stayed overnight on our way to Colorado. It’s a bit pricey, but there are pull through sites, full hookups, clean bathrooms with showers - which we utilized so we didn’t have to empty our tanks, laundry, and a full kitchen.

The bathrooms were clean with adequate pressure and warmth.

The game room/kitchen had plenty of books and entertainment. The actual kitchen area was great to have so again, we didn’t have to use our tanks to wash dishes.

Didn’t do laundry but looked like plenty of machines.

The back end of the park has a big stretch for dogs to run around and exercise. They provide bags and bins in two locations.

There’s also a playground, we just didn’t venture down that way.

Wi-Fi works great. Able to update some apps and stream on our Roku bar.

Only complaint is how on top of each other the trailers are, but that being said, it worked out great for our needs!

I love this place. There are even locals that camp out here and are fun and friendly. Sometimes they will even start playing music and encourage to even jump in or just sit and listen.

The small park is located in a commercial area but has fairly close access to downtown Wichita. It does have a small dog park and playground set an is good enough for a overnight visit.

It was $32 to stay the night, and the showers were coin-op. The view over the lake was gorgeous when we woke up, but we were sandwiched between the lake and the main entry road.
