Best Campgrounds near Larned, KS

51 Reviews

Campgrounds near Larned, Kansas range from basic to full-service facilities, with several options scattered throughout the surrounding plains region. Cheyenne Bottoms Campground offers free primitive camping with fire rings and picnic tables, while locations like 4 Aces RV Park provide full hookup sites for both tent and RV campers. The landscape primarily consists of open prairie with some locations situated near lakes or wetlands. Most established campgrounds are within a 30-mile radius of Larned, creating a network of mixed-use sites across Pawnee, Barton, and Stafford counties.

Road conditions and site accessibility vary significantly by season in central Kansas. Many campgrounds remain open year-round, though weather conditions can affect accessibility. As one camper noted, "The road to get there has been graveled well so isn't muddy anymore" at Cheyenne Bottoms, though another mentioned "wouldn't try it in a heavy vehicle in wet weather, due to soft ground." Most developed campgrounds feature gravel or grass sites rather than paved pads. Cell service is generally reliable near established campgrounds, though coverage may diminish in more remote areas. Travelers should note that summer temperatures frequently exceed 90°F, while winter nights often drop below freezing, making spring and fall the most comfortable camping seasons.

Several campgrounds in the area feature proximity to wildlife viewing opportunities, particularly near Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area. A visitor described the experience: "The marshlands exploded with sound. Frogs, crickets, owls, foxes, coyotes, and more wildlife sounds than I could identify." Noise levels vary by location, with highway-adjacent sites like Greensburg RV experiencing more traffic noise, while lake-oriented campgrounds offer more natural settings. The terrain is predominantly flat, making most sites accessible for larger RVs and trailers, though primitive areas may have limited space for larger vehicles. Most developed campgrounds provide basic amenities like showers and toilets, while primitive sites typically offer fire rings and picnic tables. Wind exposure remains a consistent factor across most locations, with limited natural barriers in this open prairie landscape.

    Pratt County Veterans Memorial Park

    Peaceful area in nature, big rig friendly; kudos to Pratt for such a beautiful park

    Stayed overnight. Super easy to navigate in our 43-foot motorhome; pull through gravel sites are plenty long enough to not need to unhook. $20 a night, with water & elec hookups at each site, a fire ring, and a picnic table. There's a dump station also -- it's right behind the playground and can be approached from either direction. Not locked --it's ready to use. In navigating here my Apple Maps turned us onto Lake Road off Hwy 54. We drove washboarded gravel for awhile. When I zoomed out on my map, I realized we could've stayed on Hwy 54, avoided the gravel, and taken pavement all the way by turning later on. Meh. I'd def come back here again when passing through the area, and figure it out by watching the map to decide where I want to turn. We stayed on a gorgeous 68-degree day in Feb, & tyere were several people fishing, walking, kids at the playground, etc. SUPER nice people--a lady drove by and called out, Welcome to Pratt! A dad at the playground gave me a tip on using the Casey's in town for a gas stop as it's set up for diesel and trucks. Honor system to pay --envelopes are in the mailbox right outside the bathrooms.

    Goodman State Fishing Lake

    Quiet Free Primitive at Fishing Lake

    The roads are rutted and were muddy in January. There was still snow on the ground. The lake was very low. Most sites are only big enough for a tent or small camper. I only saw 2 larger sites for my 26ft travel trailer. I think there was a fire ring at all sites. Sites by water had a bench. The larger sites had a covered patio with picnic table, one also had grills. There is a bathroom, I didn't use but it looked outhouse style. It was a little difficult to maneuver with my 2wd SUV on the roads, but I would go back. It was peaceful.

    Sixth Street Park

    OK, but maybe not worth it.

    This is designed for RV trailers only. No tent camping. Fees must be paid at City Hall in advance. Bathrooms we're closed.

    Sixth Street Park

    Fantastic Spot on a hot muggy night

    We had originally pulled in to Walmart but it was way to noisy with the trucks. Found this great spot in a beautiful city park watercand electricity for 10$

    Goodman State Fishing Lake

    Almost flipped my bus and landed in the lake...

    This place is definitely not a place to go. The roads have massive chunks taken out of them and I had it back up the entire weird road. Plus I have no place to park. Every spot is grass and everything is rain-sodding. I almost flipped my bus a couple times.

    Triple J RV Park

    Nice sites

    We are slowly making our way to Montana and decided to stay for two nights. After seeing the campground we changed our plans and stayed a week. We were parked across from the dog park as requested. The laundry facilities were good and reasonably priced.

    Cheyenne Bottoms Campground

    Good for a stopover

    Campground is small (6-7 spots) and right off dirt road. That said, quiet evening with one other couple camping. If full, would feel crowded. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table and there is a vault toilet. Lots of birds and had a Barred Owl fly right past me while I was setting up. Campground is adjacent to the Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife area, largest wetland in the interior US and important migratory bird location. About 45 minutes off I-70.

    4 Aces RV Park

    Nice, clean campground!

    We just stopped to overnight so we didn't take advantage of all the amenities. Campground was clean and well kept. We had no issues hooking up and got a restful nights sleep aside from the occasional train.

    Cheyenne Bottoms Campground

    Easy peasy

    This is a great stop if you’re traveling and just need a spot to park and camp for a night! Lots of bugs though! But it’s quiet, nobody else here, and a free simple place to sleep while we are passing through. Our pop up camper was super easy to pull in and the ground is flat :)
