Kanopolis State Park houses upscale glamping accommodations within its Sandyshore Campground, where canvas tents and yurts provide resort-style camping along the shoreline. The glamping options feature comfortable queen beds with premium linens, climate-controlled interiors, and private outdoor spaces with fire pits and picnic tables. Salina KOA Campground, located approximately 30 miles northeast, offers deluxe glamping tents and yurts equipped with electricity, furnished patios, and access to modern bathhouse facilities. Both locations provide a perfect balance between outdoor immersion and comfort, with drinking water, shower facilities, and well-maintained grounds. A recent visitor mentioned, "The glamping tent was remarkably comfortable with a real bed and electricity—a welcome luxury after weeks of traditional camping."
Hiking trails surrounding Kanopolis State Park lead to impressive rock formations and scenic overlooks, creating perfect day excursions for glamping guests. The park's location on Kanopolis Lake allows for swimming, fishing, and boating, with rental equipment available seasonally. Salina KOA offers a swimming pool, basketball court, outdoor ping pong, and a jump pad for children alongside its glamping campsite options. The on-site store offers fresh pizza delivered directly to glamping accommodations, eliminating the need to leave the eco-friendly glamping environment. According to a camper, "The food, pizza, was excellent. The staff brought our order to our site. We enjoyed a swim in the pool to cool off due to the temperature being in mid 90's." Most glamping units require advance reservations, particularly during summer weekends when the lake activities are most popular.
"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."
"Then realized we had found one of the nest places in Kansas! We got a perfect camp spot all to ourselves. It was not necessarily private or in the woods. But we were right up against the lake."

"Very nice spots, it is a cove off of the main lake nestled way back of the main, very dusty dirt road getting here but very nice spots. I go back every year."
"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."

TravelerThis is a nice campground with pull-through spots, playground, nice washroom/showers. Some spots even have concrete patios with fire pits and grills. A few tiny cabins and a “glamping” tent. The only negative is that the sites are very close together and it is right off I-70 which is very noisy all night long.
TravelerWe tent camped here and enjoyed our stay. The food, pizza, was excellent. The staff brought our order to our site. We enjoyed a swim in the pool to cool off due to the temperature being in mid 90's. The bathrooms were air conditioned and clean. Overall, this campground is a good one and we recommend it!
GuideKOA did not disappoint here. Right off the highway, there is some road noise but for someone passing through it was great because it didn’t add more miles to our trip. We have a 5th wheel so with the AC running at night we didn’t hear the road noise.
Spots are wide enough to allow space and not on top of neighbors. We got a deluxe patio site. Very convenient so we did not have to pull out are grill and outdoor furniture for just an overnight stay. Had a fire pit and gas grill (that was remarkably clean and had all clean utensils inside for grilling!)
The store has fresh pizza and ice cream available, as well as some small grocery needs, and there is a big selection for Rv accessories/parts.
The kids loved the pool. There are 2 pools one circular one 3ft on sides 6 in the center. And a smaller rectangle one that is a kiddie pool. My son is 40 inches and he could touch the entire length. They have a gator pulling train cart, pedal carts, a jumping pad, basketball hoops that are adjustable and an outdoor ping pong table. Also a playground that could use some updates. And a fenced in dog park.
Overall a great stop for one night, and if I ever find myself driving through Kansas again I will definitely stay again.
ScoutVery nice campground. Each RV site is equipped with a fire pit, gas grill, table, chairs and umbrella. Campground is very clean and quiet. They serve an amazing weekend breakfast at a very low price. Whether you are here overnight or for a few days, you will not be disappointed.
Guidevery nice, clean bathrooms, along with a clean pool, playground, basketball court, and jump pad. only drawback was interstate noise which was significant in a pop up. well stocked store on site.
GuideKOA campgrounds are a quick stopover for us, never a destination. This location has it all. Cabins, tent sites. Great RV sites, even a yurt! Some highway noise. Clean, great kid play area (with ping pong) and a nice playground. New furniture provided and built in fire pits.
GuideThis 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.
TravelerThis camp ground has nice tent sites, with a fire pit and electric at each one. The dog run was good size and well kept. Highly recommend!
GuideWhile we didn’t think we’d find anything as great as our Ft Benning stay, this one is! Different purpose - Ft Benning is for hiking, trail running. This one is for water. The sites in the 10s with water/electricity have water within close walking distance but no hookup. The water/electricity in the 40s have water hookup. the lake is gorgeous and since we are here on a Wednesday, it is super quiet. While there are others here, we are all so far apart it feels like we’ve got the lake to ourselves. #12 is flat, no leveling blocks required. It is fairly packed large gravel. Electricity has been steady/dependable. The bathhouse is a one stall/one shower deal for men and women.
Kanopolis State Park offers luxury glamping close to Marquette, Kansas with canvas tents situated on Wilson Lake's shoreline. The park sits at approximately 1,580 feet elevation with limestone outcroppings defining the surrounding terrain. Summer temperatures typically range from 65-95°F with humidity levels higher than western Kansas, creating warm overnight conditions ideal for premium glamping structures.
Water activities at Wilson Lake: Visitors to Lucas Park can enjoy crystal clear water perfect for swimming and boating. "The lake is extremely clean. You can park with a water view nearly everywhere. Swim beach is a short drive from the camp ground itself," notes Maura D., highlighting the lake's exceptional water quality.
Hiking trails: The rocky landscape around Eagle Point Campground provides numerous hiking opportunities through unique terrain. "Trails with cliffs, creeks and caves, campsites with incredible views and Bald Eagles soaring overhead," writes Holt and Sam L., describing the diverse natural features accessible from the campground.
Fishing expeditions: Fish from the shore or bring a boat to access deeper waters. "We were able to take our paddle boards out which was a ton of fun and with the heavy boat traffic," reports Nick P. from Sandyshore Campground, indicating good water access for various watercraft.
Secluded shoreline sites: Many campers appreciate the privacy of waterfront camping areas. "Perfect mix of shade and shoreline. Beautiful views," explains Elizabeth S. about Sandyshore Campground, though she notes "The closest restroom is 1/2 a mile away up in Buzzard Bay."
Sandy beaches: Unlike many Kansas lakes, several campgrounds feature actual sand beaches. "We went for the weekend, mostly to do some hiking. Then realized we had found one of the nest places in Kansas! We got a perfect camp spot all to ourselves... right up against the lake. There was sand like a beach," reports Carter W.
Quiet weekday camping: For those seeking solitude, midweek stays often provide nearly empty campgrounds. "Since we are here on a Wednesday, it is super quiet. While there are others here, we are all so far apart it feels like we've got the lake to ourselves," shares RichMichelle M. from Lucas Park.
Primitive camping options: For budget travelers, French Creek Cove offers basic sites at low rates. "Great place to camp. Well worth $12 per night. Shady sites, fire rings, covered picnic tables," mentions Linda C., indicating excellent value despite the rustic setting.
Weather considerations: The Kansas climate brings varied conditions throughout camping seasons. "It did get a bit windy but we put the Jeep behind us so that blocked some wind," notes Carter W., suggesting bringing windbreaks or positioning vehicles strategically during windy periods.
Limited amenities at some locations: Facilities vary widely between campgrounds. "The road up to site 98 was long but beautiful. Surprisingly far from i-70... Our bathroom was average, but expected of a vault toilet so no biggie," writes Jello D., describing the trade-off between scenic locations and modern conveniences.
Kid-friendly activities: Salina Campground provides numerous amenities for children. "Kids enjoyed the basketball court, playground, and swimming pool. Clean bathroom/showers," reports Amy T., highlighting the family-oriented facilities available.
Free camping promotions: Look for special deals during non-peak times. "The primitive campsites were free Monday evening through Wednesday evening. Vault toilets were clean and there was a trash dumpster at the end of each loop," explains Amanda from Lucas Park, noting significant savings for midweek stays.
Swimming options: Dedicated swimming areas provide safer recreation for families. "Relaxing and clean swimming area. Bathroom was clean," states Rita G. about Harvey County East Park, confirming maintained facilities suitable for family outings.
Site selection for various RV sizes: Consider size limitations when booking. "Shorter RV trailers are preferred. 30 amp service," advises 1life1try about French Creek Cove, indicating some sites accommodate smaller rigs better than others.
Level sites: Look for campgrounds with naturally level sites to minimize setup time. "We had a gravel spot, almost perfect level, didn't have to do additional leveling," shares Rick D., detailing the convenience of well-designed sites at KOA Kampgrounds.
Water hookup arrangements: Water access varies between campgrounds. "The biggest con for this campground is that you have to share a water source with the campsites next to you," notes Stanleigh S. about Harvey County East Park, highlighting an important consideration for water-dependent RV systems.
