Several RV parks and campgrounds service the Lake Quivira area with varying amenities and site types. Walnut Grove RV Park in Merriam offers 50 sites with full hookups including 50-amp electric service on gravel pads that remain open year-round.

We had full hook-ups, cell service, and free wifi," one camper shared about their stay at Walnut Grove.

Just east of the metropolitan area, Campus RV Park in Independence features level concrete sites with strong WiFi connections and 50-amp service.

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.
ScoutFree laundry, (only 1 washer & dryer per bath area) showers, and right on the lake. Has tent camping up to 14 days, and its pretty laid back and clean. Huge facilities, no electric for tent spots but they have it in bathrooms. Fire pits and picnic table. Buy 3- get 4 nights for seniors 62+.
ScoutHost was very nice, just outside city so access to what you need if you go north, access to hiking and country if you go south. I got concrete slab and full hookups. Showers and restrooms clean.
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
GuideVery crowded. Sites on top of each other and over priced for what it offers. Nice showers but only 2 for over a hundred sites. Would not recommend.
ScoutI went with my daughter. We had a wonderful time! It was a nice clean campsite well cared for. Just what you want for camping.
TravelerOur camp site was great! We stayed in Loop C and there’s bathrooms scattered all around the loop, pets welcome, no visitors past 10pm and no fires past midnight. Nice and peaceful and everyone around was courteous and friendly. 10/10 recommend staying here. Lots of acorns, if you stay under any trees so be aware! Also, there was sites that are one camper can fit in and other sites that have two right next to each other for family camping together!
GuideClean place in the middle of town. Bathrooms, laundry and Wi-Fi are available. Nice and easy check in. Does have a train near by and city noise.
Lake Quivira camping options extend beyond the immediate lake area, with several RV parks within a 30-minute drive. The region experiences hot summers with temperatures often reaching the 90s from June through August, while spring and fall offer milder conditions for outdoor activities. Many campgrounds remain open year-round, though amenities like pools typically operate seasonally from late May through September.
Fishing opportunities: Nearby Lake Paradise Resort offers multiple small lakes for fishing. "We camped here in September 2020. There are nice spots right by the lakes with big trees for shade. Roads going up higher past us were a little rough but made for great walks with kids. Kids found tons of frogs and snails to play with," notes one camper who enjoyed the natural setting.
Kansas City attractions: Many travelers use these campgrounds as a base for exploring Kansas City. A visitor to Campus RV Park commented, "3 nights here. Centrally located, great views, lovely staff, laundry and restroom facilities were good also. We stayed in the site right by the office and facilities. Would definitely return."
Amusement park access: Worlds of Fun Village provides easy access to adjacent theme parks. "The theme park offered discounted tickets when staying at the campground and parking for the parks was included. Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun are internally connected, making it easy to walk between the two," explains a recent visitor.
Pool amenities: Several campgrounds feature swimming pools for summer relief. At Basswood Country RV Resort, "This campground is a must for anyone with children. Awesome sites with full hook ups. They have several ponds you can fish from. My kids love that. Nice play area for kids as well as themed weekends with lots of activities planned that kids can do."
Kid-friendly activities: Family-oriented programming is available at multiple locations. "The place looks great and has had some great up keeps. The ice cream shop is so cute and the restaurant is going. We went to a movie outside there and fireworks for Memorial Day weekend," shares a Lake Paradise Resort visitor.
Convenient locations: Proximity to metropolitan areas is valued by many travelers. At Deer Creek Valley RV Park, a camper noted, "Central Topeka location minutes from the NOTO Arts & Entertainment District, the Capitol, the Topeka Zoo, and the Evel Knevel Museum."
Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some campgrounds. A visitor to Trailside RV Park observed, "Noise. Mostly from the highway, but also trains and air traffic. Situated between two neighborhoods, the highway, and an RV dealership. Did I mention noise?"
Site spacing: Space between sites varies significantly between parks. At Shady Acres RV Park, "Full hook-ups and a bath/shower house (which doubles as a storm shelter). 2 ponds on the property and a community picnic shelter. 15 RV spots that are graveled with a fire ring and picnic table at each."
Internet connectivity: WiFi quality differs dramatically between locations. At Campus RV Park, a camper measured actual speeds: "Nice and quiet (on big church campus) - occasional train but not often enough to be a nuisance. Wifi access point right here. 66m down, 24m up. It was so good (and the park is full) I did not bother testing my mobile plans."
Storm shelters: Some rv campgrounds near Lake Quivira provide safety during severe weather. Deer Creek Valley RV Park has "showers double as a storm shelter so they are huge and cavernous, but very clean and nice."
Kid-friendly amenities: Look for campgrounds with dedicated play areas. One visitor to Basswood Country RV Resort mentioned, "They have a great little store with alcohol for the adults; ice cream treats, which we enjoy after a swim; and nearly any key item you might have forgotten to pack. Most roads throughout the campground are paved, and the campground is generally well-maintained."
Seasonal programming: Many Lake Quivira area RV parks offer scheduled activities during summer months. "Every weekend there are organized activities such as arts and crafts, fishing contests, duck races and frozen t-shirt contests in the pool, and a Saturday evening outdoor movie," reports a regular visitor to Basswood Country RV Resort.
Pull-through preferences: At Walnut Grove RV Park, a camper advised, "I would recommend staying at the premium pull through sites the other back-in sites are rather small. I like the location it's close to where I was working and close to downtown so lots of things to do in the area."
Site dimensions: For larger RVs, select campgrounds with appropriate pad sizes. "The spots were 55 with a 5.50 Good Sam discount. It is gated, several spots mostly pull through. The roads and parking spots are all concrete with grass and picnic tables," mentions a visitor to Deer Creek Valley RV Park.
Late arrivals: Several campgrounds accommodate after-hours check-ins. At Owl Creek Market and RV Park, "We arrived late at night, 9 pm on a Friday, and there was still room for us without a reservation. There was plenty of room to back in the rig, they also have pull through spots if needed."
