    West Shore - Cheney State Park

    Just passing through

    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.

    Mulberry Campground — Kanopolis State Park

    Cicada City

    Nice easy place to pitch a tent or hang a hammock. Primitive campground is well maintained and largely unoccupied because of the lack of hookups for RVs. Stayed on 4th of July and only one other family was in the entire campground. Close to swimming beach, but bring your own water as there is no spigot nearby. Great birds too!

    Kingman State Fishing Lake

    The campground is quiet Highway 400 is not

    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.

    Spring camping

    We stayed at this federal campground 3/29/24 for free. 126 sides and I think there were four RVs here. No hookups or water (That's why it's free) but it had one open pit toilet. Beautiful views, felt very safe. A bit windy. Hopefully everybody will take care of this place & not abuse the privilege of staying here in the winter for free.

    Year round camping available

    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

    Much larger than expected.

    We 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.

    Nice Overnighter

    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.

    Venango Park

    Great for a stopover, reset, or water lovers!

    Pros: 

    - easy to get to from I-70

    - friendly camp hosts 

    - lots of grass to walk dogs 

    - beautiful sunsets 

    Cons:

    - 35 minutes one way to the nearest town with major stores like Walmart and Petco

    - people did not care about walking through my waterfront site to get to the water (there were other ways)

    - site was pretty sloped back to front and side to side but just bring leveling blocks and you're fine

    - dump station didn't provide a water hose for cleaning the sewer hose after dumping even though it had water connection but must provide own hose 

    I didn't use the bathroom facilities and forgot to test speed but I had zero issues with Verizon or AT&T.

    Love camping here

    We 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.

    Nice spot for a night

    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.

    Sand Hills State Park Campground

    Quiet simple park

    We 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.

    My Favorite

    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, and picking guitar with my besties! There's nothing better than being submerged in mother nature and I can't think of a better place to do it!!

    Perfect spot for a night or two

    Fantastic, 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.

    French Creek Cove

    Separated RV stalls with covered concrete padio

    One of the nicer lakes I’ve been to, and cheap, the road is a little rough, but it’s a neat place. Boat dock is very steep, small boats only. Pay online is very easy. Shorter RV trailers are preferred. 30 amp service.

    Primitive camping

    It's very scenic with plenty of shade. The sites are on the west side of the lake. Sites are pull through. Pit toilets but not close to campsites. Serene and peaceful. FREE. I have 4 bars T-Mobile but no OTA tv reception.

    Riverside - Kanopolis Reservoir

    COE camping at Kanopolis Lake

    Stayed at the Riverside location. Nice and quiet only a few campers and it was a weekend in September. Clean bath/showers. This is on the outflow side of the lake so no simple access to the lake but just a short hop to the lake. Marginal cell service.

    Nice sites along the river

    Several sites along the river but separated by foliage. Grounds are well maintained as is the vault toilets.

    Clean but tightly packed

    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.
