    Nice surroundings beside the reservoir

    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.

    Bed bugs!!! Don’t rent Cabin 5 Larkspur

    I’m exhausted, the last 12hrs has been a dumpster fire. Last thing we expected was a bed bug infestation. Woke at midnight with a few annoying bites, on further inspection we were covered in bed bugs, urrrgghh. After picking them off our pj’s and getting over the initial shock we went home to quarantine our clothes, shower and sleep. Returned in the morning to checkout and trash our sleeping bags and pillows. Everyone is disappointed, and I’m out of pocket for 2 nights accommodation and 4x sleeping gear...whoever the host is should be ashamed of themselves, I’m trying to warn the next people, this cabin is booked solid but in reality uninhabitable! The porch is also infested with burrowing bumblebees, scary for kids and adults alike.

    Summer fun

    The campsite has friendly staff, the facilities and campsites are clean, great swimming area. They are pet friendly and have a leash law. The boat ramp and dock are good sized and kept maintained. I have a great time everytime I go. I recommend it as a stop while you are in Kansas.

    Lighthouse Landing RV Park and Cabins

    Under Development

    Sites 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.

    BALD EAGLES!!!

    Yep, 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.

Guide to Halstead

Cabins near Halstead, Kansas offer overnight accommodations within an agriculturally rich region of south central Kansas, where the Little Arkansas River winds through the prairie landscape. Cabin rental options range from basic structures without running water to fully furnished units with kitchen facilities. Winter temperatures can drop below freezing from November through March, making heated cabin options particularly valuable during colder months.

What to do

Wildlife viewing: Bald eagles can be spotted at West Shore Camping Area — Cheney State Park, particularly during winter months. "Yep, we saw bald eagles every day of our stay. Majestic!" reports Nancy C., who also noted the park's 9+ mile trail offers access to secluded picnic tables on the lake.

Fishing: Year-round opportunities at McPherson State Fishing Lake where campers can fish from shorelines or boats. "Awsome fishing lake, wild bison a mile or 2 down the road," mentions papa T., who appreciates both the electrical hookup sites on the hill and primitive spots near the water.

Swimming: Designated beach areas for cooling off during hot Kansas summers. Holly D. notes that Cheney State Park offers "the lake and playgrounds for the kids. It is close to home but a nice getaway." The park maintains swimming areas separate from boat launches for safety.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Modern bathhouses at Bluestem Point Area — El Dorado State Park receive consistent praise. "They just added new shower houses and are really improving what was already a great place to camp," notes Kyler B., who visits nearly every weekend when possible.

Kid-friendly amenities: Playgrounds help keep children entertained between water activities. "There was a nice playground for our children and the sites were plenty big enough for us to get our truck and rig into," Justin C. shares about Lighthouse Landing RV Park and Cabins, which exceeded his family's expectations.

Variety of camping options: Choose between primitive or developed sites depending on your preference. At McPherson State Fishing Lake, DeAnn M. found "Free camping on a lake with tables, fire rings, some have shade, vaulted toilets. Quiet but close to a little town."

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Two-night minimums may apply at some parks during weekends, regardless of capacity. One camper at Cheney State Park noted: "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)."

Seasonal flooding: Water levels fluctuate and can affect site availability. Randall J. reported at Walnut River Area — El Dorado State Park: "The lake was flooded so the water was a bit off, biggest complaint was the lack of shade on our spot."

Bathroom quality varies: Older facilities may lack privacy or maintenance. At Walnut River Area, one reviewer found "Broken soap dispensers, cold water, no privacy in showers," though they still preferred it to other campgrounds in the area.

Tips for camping with families

Bring alternative activities: Disc golf courses provide entertainment when water activities aren't possible. Nancy C. found that at Cheney State Park, "If you do mountain bike, you would enjoy the 9 + mile trail. It's flat and not challenging, but really nice, secluded."

Check cabin locations carefully: Proximity to amenities varies significantly. Holly D. appreciates that Cheney State Park has "cabins for our family without campers or tents," making it accessible for those without camping equipment.

Consider noise levels: Some campgrounds have party spots where noise continues late. One camper noted their experience at El Dorado State Park was affected by neighbors who "easily had 30 people camping and were up until 4am with loud music and a bright light on."

Tips from RVers

Utilities reliability: Water access points may be limited during off-season. At USI RV Park, Bonnie A. found "flat gravel sites, friendly owners and employees, full hookups" and notes it's a good option "to stay overnight or longer when needed" when traveling through Wichita.

Connectivity considerations: Cell service varies by location and carrier. Corey C. reports that at Walnut River Area "t-Mobile service works out here pretty well," which is helpful for those needing to stay connected.

Site spacing: Density varies between parks, with some offering more privacy than others. Casey B. found USI RV Park "Clean but tightly packed" and noted that "The small park is located in a commercial area but has fairly close access to downtown Wichita."
