2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Cabins at Pomona State Park and Eisenhower State Park provide rustic lodging options near Lyndon with basic amenities. Most cabins include electricity, beds, and picnic tables, though amenities vary by location. The parks feature waterfront cabins with fishing access and some tree cover for shade and privacy. "Beautiful campgrounds with so many activities available! Our actual campsite was great and came equipped with a firepit and picnic table, and we could walk to the lakeshore," noted a visitor about the Eisenhower State Park accommodations.
Rustic cabins predominate in the region, with additional options available at Topeka/Capital City KOA and Kansas City West-Lawrence KOA offering more furnished alternatives. KOA cabins typically provide more amenities than state park accommodations. Most locations require reservations, especially during summer months when occupancy increases. Perry State Park and Mill Creek campgrounds also offer cabin options with varying levels of amenities. According to one camper, "The facilities were nice and clean. The main building is a refurbished old barn which was very cool!"
Most cabins require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. Basic kitchenware is typically not provided, so visitors should pack cooking utensils, pots, pans, and tableware. Several campgrounds have on-site camp stores with limited supplies, including Pomona State Park and the KOA locations. Topeka/Capital City KOA features a general store with basic provisions. Firewood is available for purchase at some locations, though policies vary. Most cabins include outdoor fire rings or grills, but indoor cooking facilities are limited or nonexistent.
"Site a little off level, nothing a few blocks or boards couldn’t solve. 30 amps of clean 122 vac, water tucked in between two pine trees that blocked the view of the sites to the left snd right of us."
"After everyone left I moved to a few non shore power site down by the water. Beautiful view, with a quiet serene feel."
Available this weekend
from $10 - $110 / night
"Close to Melvern and the railroad tracks so if the sound of trains all night isn't your thing, then pick somewhere else. Excellent clean restrooms and showers. "
"Beautiful campgrounds with so many activities available! The general store is super helpful, as they sell firewood and ice, and have kayak and canoe rentals."
Available this weekend
from $15 - $85 / night
"Easy access to trails Lots of wildlife, vultures, deer, etc. Well marked and plenty of them spots Marina was a quick bike ride away and had a lot to offer during the season."
"Sites come with a picnic table and a fairly large fire ring which we unfortunately never got to enjoy because we were here during a heat wave (100+ almost every day)."
from $10 - $115 / night
"The lot does not have a concrete patio but has a picnic table and fire grate.
They have a community fire pit with multiple swings around it. They sell wood for $6 a bundle.""We had a water / electric pull-through site around the middle of the campground."
"Nice little tuck away close to town but far away enough you can consider it a get away they have rv parking and cabins"
"I’m in my 30s traveling solo and this stop was a great place to regroup and take advantage of their amenities like shower, laundry, etc. The bathrooms were clean and the staff was very friendly."
"The sites are well spaced and there is a variety of dry and full service. The bathroom and shower facilities are a little disappointing."
"We love this spot, for tent or cabin camping, Mill Creek is a minute walk away, you can swim, kayak, fish, or just lounge around."
"Our pull-through site was within inches of the adjacent pull-through site. Although there was no picnic table at our site, we could have used one on the adjacent site, and we brought our own table."
"Stayed in lot 93,nice spot on end with extra privacy. Only complaint, cold shower in facility near marina. I would recommend a spot closer to marina if you're not In an RV."
"Nice state park on the lake can be crowded and a little crazy on weekends. Like most state parks no sewer hookups but easy access to dump station"
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.
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
GuideI stayed at Doud Campground inside the state park. It was a peaceful site facing the lake, with a few hay bales and a well maintained trail.
September was a good month to stay because it was cooler outside. I recommend using the bathhouse facilities at BlackJack campground right next to Doud as they are more updated.
GuideHere on a late August weekend and this campground is only 25 % full. Not sure if it’s because everyone thought it would be hot or because kids just went back to school. But we are enjoying having the place mostly to ourselves.
ScoutNice campsite, easy to find and set up. Perfect until the train camp screeching past at 11:15 at night. The train tracks are literally right next to the campsite.
ScoutNice little tuck away close to town but far away enough you can consider it a get away they have rv parking and cabins
GuideThe campground seemed like it was not well maintained. There appeared to be quite a few broken campers being used as semi permanent residence. The bathrooms were outdated. I did not stay the night since I was a female traveling alone and felt a little unsafe.
GuideNeeded a place close to the interstate. Paxico is small little cute town with shops and railroad western feel. The RV park is by the river with open views and quiet. The train was the loudest thing for the night. FHU worked great. Long pull through sites easy to maneuver.
Camping cabins near Lyndon, Kansas sit at elevations between 800-1,300 feet in the gently rolling Flint Hills region. Most cabins require advance booking between April and October when temperatures range from 50-95°F. Seasonal considerations affect availability, with cabins near Melvern Lake requiring reservations several months in advance during summer fishing season.
Fishing at dawn: Fish early morning hours at Pomona State Park where waterfront cabin sites offer direct lake access. "The campground is covered in trees, Awesome. We're in a Montana high country 384br, 41' fifth wheel. Its a beautiful park, right on Pomona lake," notes a camper.
Antique shopping in Paxico: Located just 5 minutes from Mill Creek Campground, the town features walkable antique stores. "The town of Paxico is just around the corner and deserves a walk through. The campground is immaculate," shared one reviewer who appreciated the proximity.
Swimming beaches: Eisenhower State Park offers several beach areas ideal for summer swimming. "There are a few swim beaches, and plenty of sand to sit in and relax. Our actual campsite was great and came equipped with a firepit and picnic table, and we could walk to the lakeshore," reports a visitor.
Tree coverage for shade: Campers consistently mention appreciating the shade trees at Pomona State Park Campground. "We stayed in one of the campgrounds with undesignated primitive spots. Found a nice place to park right on the lake. It was super quiet, being winter," states a winter visitor who enjoyed the secluded setting.
Delivery breakfast service: Mill Creek Campground offers a unique amenity where breakfast can be ordered and delivered to your cabin or campsite. "They make you breakfast and bring it to your RV in the morning. The entire property is maintained A plus," explains a satisfied guest.
Secluded spots: Some cabins and campsites provide more privacy than others. "We were in the Heart Stays loop. It was level and beautifully shaded. Thursday night we were the only ones in the loop," writes a visitor to Pomona State Park, highlighting the quieter areas available during weekdays.
Train noise levels: Some cabin locations experience train noise. At Kansas City West-Lawrence KOA, "trains passed by really loudly all night long - it finally stopped at about 5am," reports one camper. Consider requesting sites farther from railroad tracks when booking.
Seasonal rental costs: Cabin rates vary significantly by season. Standard cabins typically cost $45-70 per night, while deluxe cabins with more amenities range from $75-110. Weekends and holidays command premium rates at all locations.
Bathroom facilities: Bathroom quality varies considerably between locations. At Topeka/Capital City KOA, "The shower house in the main barn has individual shower/toilet/sink areas. The shower house in the park has the typical stalls. These are kept very clean," explains a recent visitor.
Extended stay limitations: Most parks limit cabin stays to 14 consecutive days. "We stayed at this KOA in the off-season but there were still several full timers in this park," notes a camper about seasonal differences in occupancy rules.
Playground amenities: Clinton State Park offers recreational options beyond just cabins. "Full bath houses, disc golf, archery range, and an abundance of hiking all around the camps," reports a visitor who stayed for an extended period.
Fish-feeding opportunities: Several parks offer spots where children can feed fish near docks. "We road bikes, but the cold spring winds made kayaking impossible. In the summer, I can see why this place would be a fun destination. Swimming, boating, fishing, horses, archery, wide open spaces," notes a spring visitor to Eisenhower State Park.
Bathroom proximity: When traveling with children, request cabins near bath facilities. "There was a huge puddle separating our pull-through from our picnic table and fire pit. Again, we should have asked for another site," shares a camper who learned to be specific about site needs.
Kitchen supplies: No cabins provide full kitchen setups. Pack basic kitchen supplies, especially if staying in primitive cabins. Most locations have fire rings for outdoor cooking, but indoor cooking facilities are minimal.
Gravel site conditions: Many cabin areas share facilities with RV camping areas. "The site was easy to level. Our site was not shaded and without any trees," notes a visitor to Topeka KOA, highlighting that not all sites offer equal amenities.

They were very nice and accommodating! After everyone left I moved to a few non shore power site down by the water," shares an off-season camper at Pomona State Park.
Hookup proximity: For cabins with RV pads nearby, check if utilities are available. "The water and sewer hookups are in the middle between sites, which can make hooking up somewhat awkward depending on the layout of your rig. A longer water hose and sewer extension are a good idea," advises an experienced RVer about Topeka KOA.
