      Ellis Lakeside Campground

      Good stopover

      Clean dated restrooms. Nice neat campground by a river in town. Cute quiet town. Lots of trees. All drive through spots with water and electricity. $25. Great stop over off I-70 going across Kansas.

      Ellis Lakeside Campground

      Good stop over

      This campground is a great place to stopover through Kansas, off I-70. Far enough away from Hwy so there is no road noise. There are lots of trees that help with a nice breeze. The sites are gravel and level. The bathrooms and showers are clean.

      Three Jakes Camp Area

      Beautiful

      This area its beautiful, with many places to camp on both sides of the lake area. Three Jakes is just one spot on the south side of the lake. The road is a bit washboard, clean,well maintained.

      Ellis Lakeside Campground

      Beautiful lakeside stop

      We stopped here on our way from Colorado. The town is so cute and well kept and you can tell there’s a lot of pride! This is a great fishing spot as well with benches and a beautiful dock. The WiFi, despite there being a few options, at our spot was pretty inconsistent, so if you needed it that would be difficult. The other thing to note is that the water and electric are shared with the site next to you, which wasn’t a problem for us, but make sure you don’t have a super short hose or cord. There’s a small railroad museum and miniature aero train nearby which we enjoyed. Gas with multiple food options and a dollar general are nearby for essentials. Very clean site and serene next to the water! Self pay and first come, first served so make sure to get there earlier for a good spot.

      Phillipsburg City Park

      Not impressed

      Seems like this is a long term campground, trailers in spaces with the wheels and tires removed. Dump trucks parked in the drive. This could be nice if short term camping was enforced but I’d stay away until things change

      Branded Cedar Campground — Prairie Dog State Park

      Diverse camping styles available. Less flies on a hot July day! Breezy up on the hill, bunch of shady Campground at Shady Rest and meadolark.

      Visited the Prairie Dog Campground, unplanned. This is by far the most enjoyable experience I have camping.
      Temperatures are tolerable, trees provide needed shades, im content.

      Cabins — Prairie Dog State Park

      Nice little campground

      Some of the sites are pretty close together, but all are a short jaunt to the reservoir. Boating, fishing, disc golf and even some Adirondack chairs with a view. Love the fireflies. Lesson learned - it is a little distance to get back out to the payment stand, so do that before you get all set up. Also remember that in addition to camping you need to have a Kansas state park pass ($5). The good news is there were sites available on a Saturday night.

    Guide to Morland

    Camping options near Morland, Kansas include both established campgrounds and less developed sites across the region's rolling prairie landscape. Situated in the Solomon Valley at 2,260 feet elevation, the area experiences hot summers with temperatures often exceeding 90°F and cold winters. Most campgrounds in the region provide direct lake access, with prime fishing spots for catfish, crappie, and bluegill.

    What to do

    Lake fishing opportunities: Sheridan State Fishing Lake offers multiple fishing spots with various species. "I got to see 2 great blue herons and listen to 2 great horned owls call to each other at night - how awesome!" notes camper Kaeti R.

    Boating activities: Cedar Bluff State Park provides water recreation with boat ramps and lake access, though water levels fluctuate seasonally. "Awesome Lakeview dispersed campsites. Some are near the sandy beach. Unfortunately the lake water has receded dramatically," reports David M.

    Wildlife observation: The prairie landscape offers opportunities to spot native wildlife. At Prairie Dog State Park, "a photographer could get lost in the pure wilderness available in the prairie. I've visited here during every season... always beautiful and teaming with wildlife," shares Seldom Seen R.

    What campers like

    Quiet atmosphere: Many campers appreciate the peaceful environment at these dog friendly campgrounds near Morland. "What a gorgeous spot on our journey from CO to MN! Free sites around the lake and ok fishing... Overnight we heard coyotes, crickets & cows," writes Beverly W. about Sheridan State Fishing Lake.

    Convenient highway access: Ellis Lakeside Campground provides easy access from major routes. "Close enough to the interstate for convenience, far enough away that you won't hear the noise all night," notes Rose V., who found it "great for an overnight stay on a road trip."

    Clean facilities: Creek Side Resort maintains well-kept amenities. "Check in was super simple and the store has some cool stuff! The campground itself was very clean and very easy to navigate," reports Heather C. The campground features laundry facilities and private shower rooms.

    What you should know

    Weather considerations: The open prairie provides little protection from elements. At Sheridan State Fishing Lake, one camper notes: "The bugs here weren't bad at all. Lots of bird sounds and coyotes in the evening. Plenty of cows nearby to add to the nature sounds. Some level sites for tent camping. Very windy during our stay."

    Variable water levels: Lakes in the region fluctuate seasonally. Cedar Bluff State Park campers mention: "Lake is down but amenities are nice," while another notes "nice receded lake views."

    Limited shade: Many pet friendly campgrounds near Morland offer minimal tree cover. At Creek Side Resort, a camper mentions: "Nearly no trees, but extra long sites - probably 90 feet long. Almost all are pull-thru."

Solid restroom facilities as well as recreational activities," reports Calvin B., though he cautions to "plan accordingly" as there are "not a lot of groceries or gas nearby."

    Long pull-through sites: Creek Side Resort accommodates larger rigs. "Our site was extra long and the wifi and cellular (att) service worked great," notes Amy D., adding that the "laundry area was perfect to work in with newer machines."
