4 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks near Overbrook, Kansas provide year-round accommodations with varying hookup options. Deer Creek Valley RV Park in Topeka features concrete pull-through sites with full hookups including 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections. "The sites were all nice and wide, level, and pull through...such an easy set up!" according to visitor feedback. Walnut Grove RV Park in Merriam accommodates big rigs across its 50 sites with both back-in and pull-through options on gravel pads. The Topeka Capital City KOA offers full hookup RV sites with 30/50-amp service, though some sites are configured as "buddy sites" where two RVs share a common area. Kansas City West-Lawrence KOA, located approximately 20 miles from Overbrook, provides full-service motorhome sites with 50-amp hookups.
Advance reservations are strongly recommended during summer months and holiday weekends when occupancy rates peak. Most parks maintain dump stations for guests, though Walnut Grove and Deer Creek Valley offer full sewer hookups at individual sites. Cell service varies by location, with Lawrence KOA reporting adequate coverage for remote work needs. Pet policies differ between facilities - all allow pets but with varying restrictions on breed and size. Propane is available at several locations including both KOA properties. Winter travelers should note that while water hookups remain active year-round at most parks, some facilities like Lake Shawnee County Campground disconnect water during freezing months. RV storage options exist at select locations, particularly Walnut Grove which maintains designated storage areas for longer-term parking.

from $35 / night
"Pretty lake views, easy to drive in and find pretty private sites, and some fire ring"
"We found a great spot for our van that was right on the water and mostly secluded. Got pretty busy on the weekend and people had loose dogs that were causing some problems, but otherwise very chill."
"We had Full hook- up with a gravel pull-through."
"Campsite was gravel with full hookups. Had to level the camper ever so slightly. Small amount of highway noise. Good cell service signal. Friendly staff."
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
ScoutI have stayed 2 times. The first was by the river. The site was beautiful, on the river, and had electricity. The second time I stayed near the front of the park, which offered electricity and water. The dump station is accessible, and the price is only $10 a night for any spot. You cannot book ahead. It is first come, first served.
RangerPretty developed, easy to find and right on the lake. Restrooms were nearby so that was a plus. There was plenty of space between sites but no real coverage for privacy. I don’t fish so I really just needed a free place to stay in nature and this was perfect for that. Bugs were… present. I called it a night quickly after the sun went down and could hear the bugs and other creatures from the inside of the car. Not my thing. The lake was super pretty and it was not difficult to drive to.
ScoutRight in the city park (St Mary's Riverside Park) are 3 "spots" to pull in and hook up. Only $10/night for electric (30 or 50 amp) and water! One site (#2) has a picnic table and grill. There were campers that just pulled into the park for the night (free) but no hook-ups.
Pros: restrooms with flush toilets (no showers), hook-ups, nice playground, grass/trees, quiet, disc golf course, good service at City Hall, just 2 blocks off Main St
Cons: have to plan ahead to make reservations (snail mail and check) if you want hook-ups OR go to City Hall during business hours to get key for electric box, mosquitoes.
Would certainly stay again!
RangerSites were nicely spaced and generally close to level. Paved roads. Our site 168 was surfaced with reclaimed asphalt. Lots of shade and clean. Many sites are electric only with 30 amps with water available in several locations in park. Good Starlink at my site.
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.
ScoutGood area, quiet, and reasonably priced!
