Best Campgrounds near Norway, KS

91 Reviews

The rural landscape surrounding Norway, Kansas features a variety of municipal and state-managed camping options within a 30-mile radius. Lovewell State Park, located northwest of Norway, offers multiple campgrounds including Cedar Point, Cottonwood, and Walleye Point, with accommodations ranging from primitive tent sites to full-hookup RV pads. City-operated campgrounds like Airport Park in Concordia and Rocky Pond in Belleville provide convenient alternatives with electric hookups and basic amenities. The Jamestown Wildlife Area offers more primitive camping experiences for those seeking solitude in a natural setting.

Seasonal considerations significantly impact camping experiences in this region. Winter camping is possible but facilities may be limited, as one camper noted at Rocky Pond: "The potable water is shut off (dump station open) during winter months." Summer brings higher occupancy rates, particularly at lakeside locations. Most municipal parks operate on a first-come, first-served basis, while state park campgrounds like those at Lovewell typically require reservations during peak season. Road access is generally good throughout the area, with most campgrounds accessible via paved roads. Cell service can be spotty, particularly at Lovewell State Park where one visitor mentioned: "We couldn't get any cell service so we had to use our imaginations and get creative."

Water access represents a defining feature of camping in the region. Lovewell State Park campers frequently mention the lake as a highlight, with one noting: "We take our kayaks with us and enjoy exploring the coves around the lake." Municipal parks often feature small ponds or lakes, with Rocky Pond described as having "nice, grassy sites right around the small lake, next to a cornfield." Amenities vary widely, with city parks typically offering electric hookups, picnic tables, and basic restrooms. Many operate on donation-based payment systems. Insect activity can be problematic near water sources, particularly at wildlife areas where one camper reported: "There were a million mosquitos because of the water flowing right beside it." Noise levels vary by location, with highway sounds noted at some roadside parks.

    Alexandria Lakes State Rec Area

    Quick Tour

    We drove through the campground earlier this year to scout it out. We recorded our visit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0oUQQ0zRx0) so that we would remember what we found. 

    Alexandria State Recreation Area offers 40 sites with 30-amp electrical hookup, 5 sites with 50-amp electrical hookup and 8 sites without electricity. The campground also offers water, modern restrooms, playground and a dump station.

    Lincoln Park

    Developed and free!

    There's a check-in kiosk and each site has water and electrical. That's very unusual and I'm quite glad I came here. There's a playground for kids across the way and I don't have any kids so it's of no use to me, but it's there and you can hear kids playing in the background. Other than that, very quiet. Birds chirping.

    IMPORTANT: Do not use the 4th street entrance if your vehicle is over 6,000 pounds. There's a three ton weight limit on it. Use the 8th street entrance instead as shown on my Google Maps picture.

    Great Spot by The Lake

    A 2 night stay on the Willow Loop. I was the only camper on the loop as the fishing folks came and went. Beautiful wooded area with no traffic sounds. Just the peaceful calls from the birds and bullfrogs.
