Best Campgrounds near Belleville, KS

99 Reviews

The north-central Kansas town of Belleville offers several camping options within city limits and the surrounding countryside. Rocky Pond City Park Campground provides lakeside camping with full hookups for RVs and tent sites around a small pond, complete with picnic tables, showers, and a disc golf course. Within a 30-mile radius, travelers can access additional municipal campgrounds like Chester Municipal Park just across the Nebraska border and Airport Park Campground in Concordia. For those seeking more extensive recreation opportunities, Lovewell State Park lies about 25 miles west of Belleville, featuring Cedar Point Campground with year-round availability for tents, RVs, and cabins.

Most campgrounds in the Belleville area feature level sites with electric hookups, though amenities vary by location. As one camper noted, Rocky Pond City Park is "right in town so you have the grocery store and gas stations all within 3 miles." Winter camping is possible at several locations, though some facilities like water hookups may be shut down during colder months. Summer brings higher occupancy, particularly on weekends. The region experiences typical Kansas weather patterns with hot summers, cold winters, and occasional strong winds. Cell service is generally reliable near town but may be limited at more remote locations like Lovewell State Park, where one visitor mentioned, "We couldn't get any cell service so we had to use our imaginations."

Municipal campgrounds throughout the area receive consistently positive reviews for their quietness and convenience. A visitor to Rocky Pond described it as having "grassy sites right around the small lake, next to a cornfield" with "picnic tables, fire pits, a playground, and a couple shaded pavilions." Many sites offer water recreation opportunities, with fishing being particularly popular. Campers should note that some locations have limited privacy between sites, as one reviewer mentioned Rocky Pond's RV spots are "directly next to each other." Seasonal events occasionally enhance the camping experience, with one visitor highlighting "a great Christmas light show throughout the park around the lake" during winter months. Most campgrounds in the region operate on a first-come, first-served basis or with simple self-registration systems.

    Alexandria Lakes State Rec Area

    Quick Tour

    We drove through the campground earlier this year to scout it out. We recorded our visit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0oUQQ0zRx0) so that we would remember what we found.

    Lincoln Park

    Developed and free!

    There's a check-in kiosk and each site has water and electrical. That's very unusual and I'm quite glad I came here. There's a playground for kids across the way and I don't have any kids so it's of no use to me, but it's there and you can hear kids playing in the background. Other than that, very quiet. Birds chirping.

    IMPORTANT: Do not use the 4th street entrance if your vehicle is over 6,000 pounds. There's a three ton weight limit on it. Use the 8th street entrance instead as shown on my Google Maps picture.

    Great Spot by The Lake

    A 2 night stay on the Willow Loop. I was the only camper on the loop as the fishing folks came and went. Beautiful wooded area with no traffic sounds. Just the peaceful calls from the birds and bullfrogs.

    Deshler City Park Campground

    Camping in a very unique town

    You will roll in and see its pretty simple. Make sure you keep an eye out for water. I parked and noticed the site next to me had a spot for water hook up. Luckily i had a long enough hose. The gas station is open from 7 a.m 7 p.m so if you need something stop there first as itmay be closed when settled in. You most likley be here by yourself unless its father day weekend or the fair in augast. Overall good stop
