Best Cabin Camping near Newton, KS

Several cabin accommodations are available within an hour's drive of Newton, Kansas. At Wichita's Spring Lake RV Resort, cabins feature electric hookups with both full-service and rustic options. McPherson State Fishing Lake offers more primitive cabin accommodations in a quieter setting. "This is a resort. Everything you could want. Small & Large cabin rentals. You can stay a day or a year!" notes one visitor about Spring Lake. Cheney State Park also provides cabin rentals with electricity and water hookups, with sites positioned near the reservoir for water views and recreational access.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. The D.L. Roy Mullet Cabin at Kansas State Fair Grounds provides basic accommodations with electric hookups, while Lighthouse Landing RV Park offers more furnished options. Most cabins require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when occupancy rates increase. Many cabins permit pets with certain restrictions. According to feedback on The Dyrt, "We stopped here for a night and this campground exceeded our expectations. There was a nice playground for our children and the sites were plenty big enough for us."

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. The level of furnishing varies significantly between locations - El Dorado State Park cabins offer more amenities than those at McPherson State Fishing Lake. Kitchen facilities range from fully equipped kitchenettes to simple outdoor fire rings with picnic tables. On-site camp stores exist at several locations including Spring Lake Resort and Cheney State Park, though selection is limited to basics. For supplies, groceries are available in nearby communities, making it practical to stock up before arrival.

    Nice surroundings beside the reservoir

    We stayed on a Sunday night in early Summer on our road trip west. The lake was high due to flooding so we were moved the week before from our original booking at Hobie Beach. Really pleased with the primitive campsite we were at. Fire pit and picnic table was well maintained. On Sunday night the restrooms & showers were in need of a clean.

    Nature trails are great for the kids. 

    Bait shop just outside the park entrance was well stocked including ice.

    Bed bugs!!! Don’t rent Cabin 5 Larkspur

    I’m exhausted, the last 12hrs has been a dumpster fire. Last thing we expected was a bed bug infestation. Woke at midnight with a few annoying bites, on further inspection we were covered in bed bugs, urrrgghh. After picking them off our pj’s and getting over the initial shock we went home to quarantine our clothes, shower and sleep. Returned in the morning to checkout and trash our sleeping bags and pillows. Everyone is disappointed, and I’m out of pocket for 2 nights accommodation and 4x sleeping gear...whoever the host is should be ashamed of themselves, I’m trying to warn the next people, this cabin is booked solid but in reality uninhabitable! The porch is also infested with burrowing bumblebees, scary for kids and adults alike.

    Summer fun

    The campsite has friendly staff, the facilities and campsites are clean, great swimming area. They are pet friendly and have a leash law. The boat ramp and dock are good sized and kept maintained. I have a great time everytime I go. I recommend it as a stop while you are in Kansas.

    Lighthouse Landing RV Park and Cabins

    Under Development

    Sites are still being made, not all sites have picnic tables or fire pits. NO SHADE! For a one night stop between destinations it’s okay.  $ is right.

    BALD EAGLES!!!

    Yep, we saw bald eagles every day of our stay. Majestic!

    This campground is large and spread out. We road our bikes over every inch and clocked 12 miles. If you do mountain bike, you would enjoy the 9 + mile trail ( we walked it). It's flat and not challenging, but really nice, secluded and if you bring a lunch, there are 3 picnic tables on the lake that can only be reached by boat or the trail. Boating, fishing, birding, 18 hole disc golf course, swimming, biking or just relaxing, this place is great.

    There are several loops within this State Park. The Gapher loop is for tents. If you are a tenter, you are in for a treat. Sites right are right on the water. The restroom water was on in this loop only.

    Smarsh is a loop that is not on the lake side, but the only w/e loop that had water turned on during off season. It looks older and is low land. A large area of standing water was by the road. Even though it is older, has giant Cottonwood trees shading the sites.. one of the 10 modern bathhouse was conveniently located at the entrance to the loop. A playground and walking trails are across the main road. The longest trail runs through this loop.

    The Hobie Loop has no services, but the amazing views make up for it. Half the sites are right on the water. Kayaks, Canoes, SUP can be launched right from the sites or just across the road. You pass a HUGE boat launch area before you get to this loop.

    The last 2 loops ( North and South) are w/e loops, but water was off for the season. You could fill tanks at the vacant host site or the dump station.

    The sites are all gravel or grass with the exception of handicap sites. I wouldn't they were level, but all doable.

    It was WINDY every day so I couldn't kayak or SUP. I think it is just Kansas, though. I was sad to see so much trash on the road and the most remote part of the long hiking trail. Some could be from windy blowing stuff around, but the bad of empty beer bottles discarded on th me trail was not. We reported it.

    A small store is just outside the entrance and Witchita is only 30 minutes away. Hutchinson is maybe 15 mi.

Guide to Newton

Cabin accommodations near Newton, Kansas provide convenient access to multiple reservoirs and recreational areas. Located in the central plains of Kansas at an elevation of approximately 1,400 feet, this region experiences hot summers and mild winters, making cabin camping available year-round. Most cabin options require reservations 1-3 months in advance during peak summer season when temperatures regularly reach 90°F.

What to do

Water recreation at Cheney Reservoir: Multiple public boat launches give cabin guests access to 9,500 acres of water. "Bald eagles can be spotted every day, truly majestic. We rode our bikes over every inch and clocked 12 miles," notes one visitor to Cheney State Park.

Fishing opportunities: Both Cheney and El Dorado reservoirs offer productive fishing areas with cabins nearby. McPherson State Fishing Lake provides a quieter option with "free camping on a lake with tables, fire rings, some have shade, vaulted toilets. Quiet but close to a little town," according to a camper at McPherson State Fishing Lake.

Playground access: Many cabin locations feature playgrounds for families. At Lighthouse Landing RV Park and Cabins, "There was a nice playground for our children and the sites were plenty big enough for us to get our truck and rig into. The bathrooms and showers were very clean."

What campers like

Diverse cabin options: Facilities range from basic to full-service accommodations. At USI RV Park in Wichita, "We stopped here overnight during our road trip across the country. It was a delightful surprise! The bathrooms are super clean, there is a very nice playground and fenced dog run."

Maintenance and cleanliness: Many cabins receive positive reviews for upkeep. "Well kept property. Clean bathrooms. Only communal fire rings and picnic tables. Country Highway sounds. Safe area and friendly patrons," reports one visitor about Wichita's Spring Lake RV Resort.

On-site activities: Beyond sleeping quarters, many cabin locations offer recreational facilities. "We love camping here because the campsites are decent size and they have cabins for our family without campers or tents. We also enjoy the lake and playgrounds for the kids. It is close to home but a nice getaway," says a visitor about Cheney State Park.

What you should know

Seasonal maintenance issues: Cabin facilities undergo periodic maintenance that affects availability. A visitor to Walnut River Area — El Dorado State Park noted: "Finally we found a campsite in Old Oak. Beautiful setting. Showers/toilets were better than the archaic ones in Bluestem that have no roofs, but barely. Broken soap dispensers, cold water, no privacy in showers."

Booking restrictions: Some locations require minimum stays on weekends. A camper reported: "We only needed one night, but had to pay for two nights (it was on a weekend, but this place was nowhere near full, so the demand isn't there to warrant a 2 night requirement)."

Pest management: Occasional cabin inspections are necessary. One visitor to El Dorado State Park reported bed bug issues in a specific cabin, demonstrating the importance of requesting the most recently renovated or inspected units when booking.

Tips for camping with families

Cabin selection priorities: Choose cabins with proximity to playgrounds and water. "The lake was high due to flooding so we were moved the week before from our original booking. Really pleased with the primitive campsite we were at. Fire pit and picnic table was well maintained. Nature trails are great for the kids."

Bathroom facilities: Some cabins have limited or distant bathroom access. At McPherson State Fishing Lake, a camper noted "A very enjoyable place to camp. I only wish the bathrooms and clean water were closer to the campground instead of a 10 to 15 minutes walk."

Swimming options: Not all cabins near water allow swimming. At El Dorado State Park, "The campsite has friendly staff, the facilities and campsites are clean, great swimming area. They are pet friendly and have a leash law. The boat ramp and dock are good sized and kept maintained."

Tips from RVers

Cabin alternatives: RV sites often provide more flexibility than cabins. "We normally camp here every weekend that we are able to as it's a short drive for us. Camp hosts are very friendly and it is well taken care of. They just added new shower houses and are really improving what was already a great place to camp."

Site selections: When booking cabins near Newton, Kansas, consider terrain. "Gravel sites. Great, robust WIFI. Clean, modern bathrooms and showers," reports a visitor about Wichita's Spring Lake RV Resort.

Supply proximity: Unlike hotel accommodations, cabins require planning for supplies. "A small store is just outside the entrance and Wichita is only 30 minutes away. Hutchinson is maybe 15 miles," notes a camper about local resources.
