    West Shore Camping Area — Cheney State Park

    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.

    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.

    West Shore Camping Area — Cheney State Park

    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.

    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.

    Sandyshore Campground — Kanopolis State Park

    Primitive!

    This campsite is truly primitive only. There were no RV’s taking up space. There were good separate spots that included a fire pit and a table. The fire pit in our spot was up next to the shoreline where we didn’t want it so we built one with a hole and rocks. It did get a bit windy but we put the Jeep behind us so that blocked some wind. This site is not near any hiking so you will have to drive to the hiking spot.

Guide to Hutchinson

Cabin camping near Hutchinson, Kansas offers a mix of lakeside and wooded settings with varying amenities throughout the year. The region experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F and cold winters that can drop below freezing. Fall camping brings comfortable temperatures in the 60-70°F range with lower humidity than summer months, making it popular for cabin stays.

What to do

Hiking trails access: At Kanopolis State Park, cabin campers can explore limestone formations and caves. "We found a couple caves and climbed some rock. Would be good for mntn biking," notes one visitor. The Buffalo Track Canyon Trail offers "gorgeous views with 2 small caves, and beautiful rock coloring."

Fishing opportunities: Many cabins provide lake access for anglers. At McPherson State Fishing Lake, campers enjoy shoreline fishing without crowds. "Free camping on a lake with tables, fire rings, some have shade, vaulted toilets. Quiet but close to a little town," reports a camper. The kids' fishing pond at Kanopolis State Park is "stocked with catfish," which one family noted their "kids loved catching something other than our usual blue Gill!"

Wildlife viewing: The region offers unexpected wildlife encounters beyond fishing. Near McPherson State Fishing Lake, visitors can see "wild bison a mile or 2 down the road" according to a camper. Birdwatchers visiting Cheney State Park during migration seasons can spot diverse species including bald eagles, as one camper mentioned: "We saw bald eagles every day of our stay. Majestic!"

What campers like

Privacy options: Many cabins offer secluded settings. At Little Bluestem Cabin Area in Kanopolis State Park, site 5 provides exceptional solitude. "Beautiful view of the reservoir, and it's on the end so you have a huge open area all to yourself," says one reviewer. Primitive cabins generally offer more seclusion than those in developed campgrounds.

Lakeside accommodations: Cabins with water views remain most popular. "Perfect mix of shade and shoreline. Beautiful views," writes a camper about Sandyshore Campground. Some cabins allow direct water access for paddleboarding or kayaking, though wind conditions can impact water activities.

Seasonal advantages: Fall and spring offer the best cabin camping conditions. Summer visitors appreciate air conditioning in developed cabins due to Kansas heat. "Every spring I look forward to getting out of the city and relaxing peacefully at this beautiful Lake! I love the gorgeous sunsets, the beach area, the hiking trails," notes a Kanopolis State Park visitor.

What you should know

Bathroom access varies: Primitive cabins often require longer walks to facilities. At Sandyshore Campground, "The closest restroom is 1/2 a mile away up in Buzzard Bay," according to one camper. Check facility locations when booking remote cabins to avoid surprises.

Reservation requirements: Many cabins require advance booking, especially during peak seasons. First-come sites fill quickly. One Sandyshore visitor noted: "Wish they would make these spots reservable as they fill up very quick since they are first come first serve. Especially on weekends."

Seasonal maintenance issues: Off-season visitors should check water availability. At Cheney State Park, "Smarth is a loop that is not on the lake side, but the only w/e loop that had water turned on during off season." Winter campers should verify which services remain operational before arrival.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several cabin locations include play areas for children. Lighthouse Landing RV Park and Cabins offers amenities specifically for families. "There was a nice playground for our children and the sites were plenty big enough for us to get our truck and rig into," reports one visitor. Cheney State Park also features playgrounds near cabin areas.

Swimming options: Cabin locations with swimming areas provide cooling relief during hot summer months. "We also enjoy the lake and playgrounds for the kids. It is close to home but a nice getaway," notes a Cheney State Park visitor. Not all lakes permit swimming, so verify before planning water activities.

Cabin spacing: Family groups should consider site proximity. At Wichita's Spring Lake RV Resort, cabins offer varying levels of privacy. "Well kept property. Clean bathrooms. Only communal fire rings and picnic tables," mentions one visitor, indicating shared spaces between units.

Tips from RVers

Campsite leveling: Many cabin areas share grounds with RV sites with varying terrain. "The sites are all gravel or grass with the exception of handicap sites. I wouldn't [say] they were level, but all doable," notes a Cheney State Park camper. This information helps when choosing between cabin and RV options.

Hookup availability: Electric options vary between cabin locations. Check amperage before booking if bringing additional equipment. "Awsome fishing lake, very nice camp spots with electrical hookups up on a hill and primitive down by the water," reports a McPherson State Fishing Lake visitor, highlighting the elevation differences between serviced and unserviced sites.
