Best Cabin Camping near Clay Center, KS

Several cabin options exist within a 30-mile radius of Clay Center, Kansas, primarily concentrated around Milford State Park and Tuttle Creek State Park. Milford State Park features five cabin areas with spacious accommodations, each equipped with covered picnic shelters, grills, and electricity. The Sunset Ridge cabins include one ADA-accessible unit, with all cabins named after horse breeds. Acorn RV Resort offers various cabin sizes along with yurt rentals, providing more amenities than state park options. "There is plenty to do here. There are numerous cabins of various sizes available to rent as well as Yurts. There is restaurant and a mini convenience store where you can pick up needed items," notes one visitor.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Salina Campground, about 30 miles southwest of Clay Center, features KOA-style cabins with basic amenities. Most cabins require reservations, especially during summer months when Milford Lake attracts visitors for fishing and water recreation. Pet policies vary by location, with many allowing pets but requiring additional fees. According to a camper, "The cabins have large shelters with tables and grill. There are 5 cabins all with horse breed names and there is one that is ADA."

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from basic to well-equipped, with some locations offering only outdoor grills while others provide indoor cooking options. Acorn Resort stands out with its on-site restaurant and convenience store, making it easier for cabin guests to obtain supplies during their stay. Campground stores at Milford State Park and Salina KOA stock essential items, though selection is limited. For more extensive grocery needs, Junction City and Manhattan offer full-service supermarkets within reasonable driving distance of most cabin locations.

    Salina Campground

    Very Nice But Noisy

    This is a nice campground with pull-through spots, playground, nice washroom/showers. Some spots even have concrete patios with fire pits and grills. A few tiny cabins and a “glamping” tent. The only negative is that the sites are very close together and it is right off I-70 which is very noisy all night long.

    River Pond State Park Campground

    Nice State Park

    The is a nice clean Kansas State Park. Lots of shady spots. Easy access to walking trails and water activities. Fire pits and picnic tables at every site. Most sites are only water and electric. There are only a half dozen or so full hook up sites and they are generally always full during camping season. There are two dump stations on site. This park is close to home for us and we camp here often.

    KOA Campground Salina

    Great stop, family friendly!

    KOA did not disappoint here. Right off the highway, there is some road noise but for someone passing through it was great because it didn’t add more miles to our trip. We have a 5th wheel so with the AC running at night we didn’t hear the road noise.

    Spots are wide enough to allow space and not on top of neighbors. We got a deluxe patio site. Very convenient so we did not have to pull out are grill and outdoor furniture for just an overnight stay. Had a fire pit and gas grill (that was remarkably clean and had all clean utensils inside for grilling!)

    The store has fresh pizza and ice cream available, as well as some small grocery needs, and there is a big selection for Rv accessories/parts.

    The kids loved the pool. There are 2 pools one circular one 3ft on sides 6 in the center. And a smaller rectangle one that is a kiddie pool. My son is 40 inches and he could touch the entire length. They have a gator pulling train cart, pedal carts, a jumping pad, basketball hoops that are adjustable and an outdoor ping pong table. Also a playground that could use some updates. And a fenced in dog park.

    Overall a great stop for one night, and if I ever find myself driving through Kansas again I will definitely stay again.

    Rocky Pond City Park Campground

    Quiet, peaceful lakeshore camping

    Nice, grassy sites right around the small lake, next to a cornfield. There are picnic tables, fire pits, a playground, and a couple shaded pavilions for a picnic or rain shelter. It’s pretty quiet except for the constant low hum of a nearby mill - very Kansas. It’s patrolled by police regularly and is a peaceful, serene, no frills place to camp for a night. Also included - boat ramp for recreation or fishing, bathrooms, disc golf course. Town is right down the road for supplies.

    Prairie View — Milford State Park

    Some great water views and sunsets

    We really enjoyed Prairie View campground. We were in site 116, which our camper door faced a cove of the lake and the boat ramp. It was like there was no one else camping by us. We were able to launch our kayaks a few feet from our campsite which was nice. Each campsite was equipped with electric and water, a fire ring,and a picnic table. The sunsets over the water were beautiful. The restrooms and shower were ok. There was a sign that stated it was only as clean as the last person who used it. Was t to excited about that during Covid. We were able to see a few blue heron and a Golden and a bald eagle. We will definitely be back as it was very peaceful
