Camping on State Fishing Lakes in Kansas is generally only primitive. No designated sites are available and no hookups are provided. At Kingman State Fishing Lake, camping is all primitive on a first-come first-served basis. There is no fee, but picnic tables, fire rings, and primitive toilets are available. Campers should realize that State Fishing Lakes differ greatly from State Parks where full-service sites are provided and fees are collected. There is no dump station at Kingman State Fishing Lake and trash is a carry in/carry out requirement. Generators are allowed, however, quiet hours are from 11:00p.m. to 6:00a.m. and generators are not to be run during those time constraints. Office hours are generally 8:00 a.m. to 4:30p.m. though the Manager(only full-time staff) is frequently working on the area and not available.

Nice grassy area with nice showers and restrooms. Medium size pond with a small pavillon and large grill. Dock needs maintenance. Some long term residents. Rough gravel roads two miles into and out of property, but only about 2 miles south of Hwy 400
Traveler
Nice pull through & back in site just 4 miles from Kansas fairgrounds
Legend
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.
Guide
We stayed here for 3 nights waiting for spring storms to pass in the central part of the country. Nice park that is part of a ecosystem of community swimming pool, tennis/pickle ball, ball diamonds and walking paths. Other park adjoining. $10.00 for electric/water per night. Gravel parking lot. Public restrooms with flush toilets.

About 10 drive-through sites requiring a turning radius my 20 foot trailer could hardly manage, spaced out quite nicely mostly right on the bank of the fishing pond. Most people would not consider a body of water where you can see the bottom as a lake, that would be a pond. Kansas State fishing lakes are mostly ponds. this one is shallow enough. I think you could walk across it in waders. The highway noise is not too bad. It's been so windy here with severe thunderstorm warnings that you cannot hear the highway traffic. Picnic tables, fire rings and a pit toilet. That's it. They recently buried some culverts under the road which should prevent any future washouts. But beware the sandy road base could get you stuck.

Pictures of the open, grassy sites.
GuideSimple 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.
Guide
We stayed overnight with our trailer en route. There are specific sites available year round that have water and electric available. These are located in the Marina and Lakeside campgrounds on the East side. The water spigots are insulated. 50 amp available at Marina campground only. 30 amp at both. Being winter, it’s pretty sparse, dry, and windy. For an overnight, it was an affordable stay.
My only complaint is that the available sites aren’t clearly communicated. We drive to every site until we found the right one. Wish they would update that info for winter camping.
Dump stations available! Unfortunately not for human consumption (see pic) :D
ScoutWe Didn't stay here, we opted for FHU elsewhere. Much larger than expected, tons of spots that can fit large rigs. All dirt roads that can get muddy.

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.
Scout
Gravel sites. Great, robust WIFI. Clean, modern bathrooms and showers.
Guide
Pleasant small family owned campground. Lyndel was very sweet. Hot showers with lots of water pressure, laundry room and full hookup. If you need a spot to take a break from driving, this is a nice spot.
Scout
It was easy thank you very much
ScoutRent kayak, tent and rv friendly. Fishing and hiking. No Wi-Fi but there are usually two bars.
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.
Scout
Seems like a nice spot for the night. I appear to be the only person here tonight but have had several cars drive through. There is a vault toilet here but no doors. I dont see any trash cans here. I can hear a little road noise but I also hear lots of nature noises. Birds, frogs, owls and more. I would probably stop here again if it was on my way.
TravelerThis is a quiet little park for being in the heart of Pratt. It's just $10/night for electric & water. There's a dump station nearby, you just need to get the key from city hall. They have a 7 night maximum stay. Great for an overnight, or a couple days to get caught up on laundry in town. People are really friendly.
GuideWe stayed a night and it was everything we needed. Showers were nice. They were over run with bugs but that was to be expected since it's early May. Park was a little unlevel so definitely need to bring extra wood to level correctly. We paid $12 for the night since we got in super late otherwise it's $25 a night. Also saw a dump station that was free.
GuideFantastic, free camping! Just a short jaunt off the highway making it super easy to get to. Did hear a little bit of traffic from the road, but nothing bad at all. Each camp site has a picnic table and fire ring.
TravelerNice campground, friendly staff, very nice patio on slott with fire pit, table, chairs and covered swing

Rolled in staff was rude asked for manager they said they were in colorado asked to cancel said I couldn’t! So I rolled without a refund never again!
Scout

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!
Traveler
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.
TravelerSeveral sites along the river but separated by foliage. Grounds are well maintained as is the vault toilets.
Scout
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.
TravelerIt 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.
