Best Tent Camping near Belleville, KS

Change of plans last minute for my little brothers birthday brought us here. At first we couldn't figure out where to set up camp so we asked the camp host who was very friendly. Turns out that you can set up a tent basically anywhere and there's zero cost to tent camp, no fees what so ever!

Been camping there for years , now it has been not even taken care of ,goose poop all over the beach for the 4th,  a UTV driving all over the grass , I remember couldn't even drive on the grass to unload for tent camping, trash is all over ,people arnt picking up after them self, people are fishing off the beach hooks on the beach, who ever is the camp host isnt doing there job

We had a quiet weekend, though the camp was less than half full. Electrical hookups and tent camping are available. We stayed in the bottom section, close to water, the view was very nice. They have a playground and beach area, primitive restrooms, boat ramp, and at least two covered areas for gatherings. There is no dump station, the nearest one is about 6 miles North at Milligan at a gas station along highway 41. No wake boating, but kayaking/canoeing the lake is the best way to see and fish this lake. Check out web site here http://littlebluenrd.org/recreation/#Lone_Star.

Outhouse water trash picnic table tent camping cell service 

This is great for a quick overnight especially since you do have cell service. The out house is just that a small house that is OUT actually a pit toilet would be preferable but as they say “any port in the storm”. I have to give them credit that they are trying, they just need to try a bit harder. A nice road just off the highway but the dust from the road can be rather bad.

Strang was first settled in 1886 and was known as Media, about a month later it became known as Bixby because it was thought that Media sounded like many other towns in the area. In April 1886 a windmill salesman by the name of AL Strang donated a windmill and water pump to the town so the town was named after Mr. Strang. That windmill still stands today on Main Street. A fire destroyed much of the town around the turn of the century and another fire in 1934 consumed a town block. In spite of all it’s calamities the town preservers. The small city park takes up a block of the town and it is struggling as is the town. A small RV could park in the area but it is best suited for tents but do not expect amenities.

I've never camped there but I've seen it. It's just a grass area where they let you put campers and tents. Its near Centennial Garden which is really nice if they have any events in town. The site will hold 6 tents and 6 trailers.

Quite park with lots of space. There are about 20 free Rv spots with electric and water hookups and several site with electricity for tents. They have nice clean bathrooms, a large playground in the shade, and a fishing pond

For tent campers South Park is a great little spot. Shelter and power.

Water outlets were locked save 1.

No toilets or Porta Potties.

If RVing, you'll need to go to the town hall to get the septic and water unlocked.

We stayed 3 nights, it was a very nice place, they have water and electric at the site, water was not on as we camped in March. There is a sump station behind the High School. Pads are Concrete, I believe they have 20 pads, and an area for tent campers with electricity as well, small play ground too.

My husband and I just needed somewhere to stay overnight while driving through Kansas.  This fit the bill because it was along our route.  It is VERY primitive and used for hunting according to the website.  Our issue was that there were a million mosquitos because the water flowing right beside it.  We couldn't even walk from the car to our teardrop camper without getting swarmed.  Otherwise the area would not have been horrible just to stay overnight.  We did not make it to the bathroom across the road, but it looked like a normal vault toilet.

Small but not much use FREE. Stopped here on Dyrt review recommendation and was not disappointed. Labor Day weekend an we were the only one here. Only 2, 30 foot sites and 30 amp electric plus water. Did I mention Free? Pavilion with picknic tables. We would stay here again. A couple of large cottonwood trees shade the site. We didn’t unhook and the site was level.

This is a nice spot for a quick visit. Free hookups but only 50 amp

We got here yesterday. It has electric 50/30 and water, concrete pads are level. Picnic table. Lots of shade. Clean. By donation. US 81 is close and under construction so there is some highway noise but in noticable when in the trailer. 14 spots, 10 were full. Town is very historic and friendly.

The fee is based on your donation. No reservations needed but first come first served. The sites are level and have electric. Two fenced in dog parks. Close to small town. Very nice stop over point. Only negative is road noise during the night.

Amazing small town and amazing city RV park.
