"The sites are well spaced and there is a variety of dry and full service. The bathroom and shower facilities are a little disappointing."
"Stayed in lot 93,nice spot on end with extra privacy. Only complaint, cold shower in facility near marina. I would recommend a spot closer to marina if you're not In an RV."
"Nice state park on the lake can be crowded and a little crazy on weekends. Like most state parks no sewer hookups but easy access to dump station"
"The lot does not have a concrete patio but has a picnic table and fire grate.
They have a community fire pit with multiple swings around it. They sell wood for $6 a bundle.""We had a water / electric pull-through site around the middle of the campground."
"Easy access to Interstate and pull through sites were long enough for our truck and 32’ trailer without having to unhitch. Stayed just one night as we passed through."

"Basswood provides amenities that are great for entertaining children, includinga swimming pool and splash park, two playgrounds, a basketball goal, and fishing."

"Lots of trees lots of wildlife Had deer walk right through the campground when we were there. shower house/ rest room we’re clean for the most part but a little rundown."
TravelerThe price is good. We paid just under 13usd for a basic primitive site. The bathrooms are limited and pretty rough as one might expect. Otherwise, we found it quiet, peaceful and pretty. Good location to Laurence and get a good coffee and donut.
GuideLots of big sites in Cornflower loop some shaded. Bathroom needs an update; I wouldn’t use the shower as too disgusting so can’t rate the water temperature.
ScoutWe set up our little camper trailer in one of the primitive loops, backed into the trees. Access to the white and blue trail loops from the campground either via some rickety stairs or from a trail next to the cabins. Relatively close to the bathroom and shower house for water. Campsite was great, but the campground in general could use a little bit of trash pickup and general spiffing up
GuideI stayed at Doud Campground inside the state park. It was a peaceful site facing the lake, with a few hay bales and a well maintained trail.
September was a good month to stay because it was cooler outside. I recommend using the bathhouse facilities at BlackJack campground right next to Doud as they are more updated.
GuideHere on a late August weekend and this campground is only 25 % full. Not sure if it’s because everyone thought it would be hot or because kids just went back to school. But we are enjoying having the place mostly to ourselves.
ScoutThis is a GREAT RV PARK! The new owners have done GREAT work to bring it back!
ScoutNice little tuck away close to town but far away enough you can consider it a get away they have rv parking and cabins
RangerI lived near Basswood for 20 plus years and did not know anything about it but where it was. My wife and I decided to live in our camper while we transition homes and I am so pleased with this place. Friendly, easy going, safe.
GuideThe campground seemed like it was not well maintained. There appeared to be quite a few broken campers being used as semi permanent residence. The bathrooms were outdated. I did not stay the night since I was a female traveling alone and felt a little unsafe.

The park sits on 1,425 acres along Clinton Lake in the rolling hills of eastern Kansas at 875 feet elevation. Winter temperatures average 20-40°F while summer months reach 70-90°F with high humidity, factors that impact camping comfort and planning at all cabin facilities in the region.
Archery practice: Clinton State Park features an archery range not commonly found at standard campgrounds. "Rolling hills and lots of green with many trails and recreational facilities including more unusual things like archery. Lake is surprisingly big, good wildlife and birding," notes Amber A. about Prairie Clover Campground at Clinton State Park.
Fishing opportunities: Fishing is available year-round at most parks near Edgerton. At Basswood Country RV Resort, fishing requires no license in their five small lakes. "You could fish in the lakes and didn't even need a license. We watched kids get excited as they caught fish after fish," reports Shannon G. about Basswood Country RV Resort.
Disc golf courses: Several parks offer disc golf options as recreational alternatives to water activities. Charles F. mentions Clinton State Park has "Full bath houses, disc golf, archery range, and an abundance of hiking all around the camps."
Paddling and boating: Many lakes allow kayaks and canoes, with some offering rentals. At Eisenhower State Park, "The general store is super helpful, as they sell firewood and ice, and have kayak and canoe rentals. There are a few swim beaches, and plenty of sand to sit in and relax," according to Cindy K.
Secluded sites: Some parks feature more private camping spots away from busy areas. "Camped out at site 13 for a real peaceful Saturday. Half of our group took the trail and hiked to the campsite, the other half got there by kayak/paddleboard. The site was very secluded and had a very interesting layout," mentions Daniel T. about Prairie Clover Campground.
Off-season availability: Winter camping options exist with fewer crowds and often no reservations required. Charles F. notes, "Visiting in non peak is as easy as driving in, finding a spot and paying your fees."
Wildlife viewing: Multiple parks offer opportunities to spot local animals. "We ended up in the primitive loop in the trees overlooking the Clinton Marina inlet #60 which was only one without table and fire rings. Saw eagles, turkey vultures, and possible osprey," reports Kent F.
Waterfront locations: Lake-facing cabin and RV sites provide direct water access. Tanner P. at Pomona State Park Campground found that "After everyone left I moved to a few non shore power site down by the water. Beautiful view, with a quiet serene feel."
Train noise impacts: Several campgrounds near Edgerton sit close to active rail lines. Darius C. mentions about Kansas City West-Lawrence KOA, "This is a good KOA but the trains run ALL NIGHT long. I only go to KOA if I am camping with the kids."
Seasonal bathroom availability: Some facilities close during off-season periods. Myron C. noted, "We asked for water, electricity, and somewhere close to the bath house. I guess two out of three aren't bad. The bath house that we were closest to was closed for the season."
Weather preparedness: The region experiences significant wind, especially near lakes. Christina H. at Eisenhower State Park observed, "It was super duper windy off of the lake for us, so be ready for wind."
Site layouts vary significantly: Campgrounds differ in spacing and privacy between sites. "The tent sites are small for the tenters and there is little to no shade," reports Myron C. about Kansas City West-Lawrence KOA.
Swimming options: Multiple parks feature swimming areas for children. At Basswood Resort, Angela C. noted "My kids did get some pool time (it was a nice pool) and loved the blob (whatever you call the bounce pads)."

Playground facilities: Most family-oriented campgrounds include play areas. Jeremy S. at Pomona State Park found "Large grassy field with playgrounds. Trails to take walks by the lake."
Cell service considerations: Not all parks have reliable phone reception. Ryan R. cautions, "Also if you have kids that go camping with you chances are your cell phones will not work so the kids probably will be very bored."
Site leveling requirements: Many sites need leveling blocks for comfortable setup. Dan & Penny F. note about Pomona State Park, "Site a little off level, nothing a few blocks or boards couldn't solve. 30 amps of clean 122 vac, water tucked in between two pine trees that blocked the view of the sites to the left and right of us."
Extended stays available: Some parks allow longer-term camping. "We stayed in the Heart Stays loop. It was level and beautifully shaded. Thursday night we were the only ones in the loop," mentions Janice O.
Dump station locations: Not all sites have sewer hookups, requiring dump station use. Doug H. says, "Like most state parks no sewer hookups but easy access to dump station."
