We only picked this location based on our cross country road trip. We only needed one night, but had to pay for two nights (it was on a weekend, but this place was no where near full, so the demand isn’t there to warrant a 2 night requirement). On top of that, we had to pay another $5 just to enter the park to get to our campsite. Campers near us looked like they were living there full time. The sites in the grass by the lake seemed to be much nicer when we drove by. Our gravel site was filled with any hills and micro trash. Campers 2 sites down from us was full of kids throwing their empty caprisun drinks on the ground (not the parks fault). Also the bathrooms are extremely dated and gross. Not sure what they are using the entrance fee for, but it doesn’t appear to be for upkeep.

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.

Gravel sites. Great, robust WIFI. Clean, modern bathrooms and showers.
TravelerWe love camping here because the campsites are decent size and they have cabins for our family without campers or tents. We also enjoy the lake and playgrounds for the kids. It is close to home but a nice getaway.
TravelerNice campground, friendly staff, very nice patio on slott with fire pit, table, chairs and covered swing

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.
TravelerI love this park it is a great place to stay
GuidePulled in around 11pm, had to use the late check-in process. Well organized and easy with individual maps for each site number. Highly recommend!
TravelerWell kept property. Clean bathrooms. Only communal fire rings and picnic tables. Country Highway sounds. Safe area and friendly patrons.
GuideThis is a very clean and well maintained camp ground. We just needed one night and used the coin operated laundry.
TravelerThis is a resort. Everything you could want. Swimming pool, chuck wagon on weekends. Free minutes golf, etc. A very nice playground for children. Shower/Restroom. Even propane filling station. Laundrymat. Fishing. Small & Large cabin rentals. Rv rentals. You can stay a day or a year!

Large back in space with a picnic table, fire ring with grilling grate. Lots of shade at this spot. Not far from the entrance of the state park. There is a small store just outside the park with a restaurant. State park has boat ramps, day use areas and a sailboat marina with sailing school.
LegendYep, we saw bald eagles every day of our stay. Majestic!
This campground is large and spread out. We road our bikes over every inch and clocked 12 miles. If you do mountain bike, you would enjoy the 9 + mile trail ( we walked it). It's flat and not challenging, but really nice, secluded and if you bring a lunch, there are 3 picnic tables on the lake that can only be reached by boat or the trail. Boating, fishing, birding, 18 hole disc golf course, swimming, biking or just relaxing, this place is great.
There are several loops within this State Park. The Gapher loop is for tents. If you are a tenter, you are in for a treat. Sites right are right on the water. The restroom water was on in this loop only.
Smarsh is a loop that is not on the lake side, but the only w/e loop that had water turned on during off season. It looks older and is low land. A large area of standing water was by the road. Even though it is older, has giant Cottonwood trees shading the sites.. one of the 10 modern bathhouse was conveniently located at the entrance to the loop. A playground and walking trails are across the main road. The longest trail runs through this loop.
The Hobie Loop has no services, but the amazing views make up for it. Half the sites are right on the water. Kayaks, Canoes, SUP can be launched right from the sites or just across the road. You pass a HUGE boat launch area before you get to this loop.
The last 2 loops ( North and South) are w/e loops, but water was off for the season. You could fill tanks at the vacant host site or the dump station.
The sites are all gravel or grass with the exception of handicap sites. I wouldn't they were level, but all doable.
It was WINDY every day so I couldn't kayak or SUP. I think it is just Kansas, though. I was sad to see so much trash on the road and the most remote part of the long hiking trail. Some could be from windy blowing stuff around, but the bad of empty beer bottles discarded on th me trail was not. We reported it.
A small store is just outside the entrance and Witchita is only 30 minutes away. Hutchinson is maybe 15 mi.
TravelerGreat weekend for a family of four in a cozy retreat! The cabin was super clean and the camp hosts couldn’t have been more helpful.
Amenities abound! Ranging from hiking to horseshoes and everything in between. Will definitely be going back!!
TravelerGreat spot for a close to town quick Getaway. The sites are spacious and clean. The state does a great job keeping it that way.
RangerClose to everywhere, flat gravel sites, friendly owners and employees, full hookups, nice dog park and kid's playground. We travel through Wichita frequently and are happy to have found a place to stay overnight or longer when needed.
GuideVery nice shaded sites with water and electric hookup. It can be hot in the summer. Campground is clean and well run. Nice, level gravel pads.
GuideIt's a nice site but the people that departed, after our check-in time, left a mudhole and dog poop everywhere. Don't think we will stay at this site again. The water hookups just make a mess

We stopped here for a night and this campground exceeded our expectations. There was a nice playground for our children and the sites were plenty big enough for us to get our truck and rig into. The bathrooms and showers were very clean and our kids enjoyed playing with a few other families that were there as well. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is that we had some difficulty finding our campsite. Otherwise, Lighthouse Landing was a great experience.
ScoutThis loop is not lake front, but sometimes that is best on a windy weekend. Abundance of large trees and shade with plenty of space to spread out without having to worry about the kids getting in the lake unsupervised.
GuideNice KOA campground. A little further than we wanted to be from Wichita, but not their fault. Clean, friendly employees. Would stay here again.
RangerSites are still being made, not all sites have picnic tables or fire pits. NO SHADE! For a one night stop between destinations it’s okay. $ is right.

We stayed on a Sunday night in early Summer on our road trip west. The lake was high due to flooding so we were moved the week before from our original booking at Hobie Beach. Really pleased with the primitive campsite we were at. Fire pit and picnic table was well maintained. On Sunday night the restrooms & showers were in need of a clean.
Nature trails are great for the kids.
Bait shop just outside the park entrance was well stocked including ice.
ScoutWe stopped here overnight during our road trip across the country. It was a delightful surprise! The bathrooms are super clean, there is a very nice playground and fenced dog run.
TravelerFriendly staff, extremely clean bathrooms and showers! Nice grassy spot for our tent!
ScoutBest place close to west Wichita. Several areas to choose From. Most with large camping spots. All with fire rings. Water and electric available with several dump stations.
GuideHave stayed at this lake many times over the last 35 years, both in a tent and a camper. There are sites for everything. I've even seen people sleep in the bed of their pickup trucks. Full service, no service, whatever you need. Bath houses are cared for daily.
