Best Cabin Camping near Republic, KS

We have visited Lovewell many times during the summer, but this was our first winter trip. We arrived after hours, so we had to pay by the envelope drop post. $10 for primitive camping and a $3 fee. If you have time, I recommend driving all over the campgrounds to pick your location prior to paying. Payment envelopes stick to your window with the campground info exc listed. The bathrooms were open, however the was no running water. Showers and the main store were both closed, not surprisingly with it being winter. The camp fire ring was THE BEST I have EVER seen! It was spacious to accommodate a substantial fire, and had an ADJUSTABLE grill grate! It was perfect for regulating temperatures from cooking to keeping warm. If you are looking for a quiet getaway, this is your place. We plan to return.

Nice, grassy sites right around the small lake, next to a cornfield. There are picnic tables, fire pits, a playground, and a couple shaded pavilions for a picnic or rain shelter. It’s pretty quiet except for the constant low hum of a nearby mill - very Kansas. It’s patrolled by police regularly and is a peaceful, serene, no frills place to camp for a night. Also included - boat ramp for recreation or fishing, bathrooms, disc golf course. Town is right down the road for supplies.

Lovewell is a nice lake campground with nice facilities. We had a concrete pad with water and electric and lots of extra room. I enjoyed riding my bike looking at all the natural beauty. We were there in the middle of the week so it wasn't busy at all and was very peaceful. We couldn't get any cell service so we had to use our imaginations and get creative, and go on lots of walks and trails(which is really why we started camping anyway)😊

Must pay to be at any point in the Park, but it has lots of amazing points! Great fishing, lots of places to explore!

Really nice park, good to spend time with family and friends. We spend one night here and we wish we could spend more time in there.

Been camping here since I was a kid and still love bringing my kids to Lovewell. The campgrounds accommodate everything from a tent to a camper. I have even stayed in a hammock a couple times. However, we usually take our camper with the kids and enjoy Cedar Point hook ups. The bath houses are always clean and nice facilities to use.

For the kids they have a nice park and area to play up by the Marina area. I also recommend taking a drive around the outside for docks and fishing areas away from the main camping. We take our kayaks with us and enjoy exploring the coves around the lake.

Lovewell is a man made lake for irrigation purposes so if there is a dry year the lake will be low. That to me is it’s only down fall.

With RV this area park is generator use or very limited amenities for full size RVs .

We have camped as a family at almost every campground at Lovewell and we are always pleased. All of the primitive spots are wonderful and have a lot of space for the kids to play. There are also beautiful views of the lake at all of the primitive camping spots. Walleye and Willow are our favorite utility camp grounds. There seems to be more room for the kids to run around. Cottonwood is more close knit. We enjoy walking around the park in the off-season and viewing all of the wildlife. The new playground area is absolutely fabulous. Our kids love it. We also enjoy going to the marina to eat. They often have music entertainment out on there deck on the weekends to enjoy.

The scenery was beautiful. They also had a nice playground, plenty areas to fish and explore. Only complaint was the spacing of the water spigot and absolutely no cell service for the area. Not that you need it but in case of an emergency or even to check the weather you won’t be able to if you have Verizon.

Although we personally have not spent the night here, we visit it every chance we get since it is right in the town of Belleville. You can frolf, fish, have a picnic, go for a walk around the pond, and camp here of course. The thing I like the most is that it is right in town so you have the grocery store and gas stations all within 3 miles. There is also a swimming pool in town for the kids. You can kayak on the pond as well and there use to be small boats that would go on it as well!

This is a self service park and it’s $20 for full hook ups although some of the spaces only had 50 amp service instead of 50 and 30. If you stay in the upper level, you might want to make sure you have a long sewer hose as it is quite a ways behind the trailer. Park does have bathrooms and a shower that were so so. There also is a disc golf available at the back of the lake. Nice walk around the lake. Sidenote there’s a nice nine hole golf course here that was fairly inexpensive and highly recommend los Primos Mexican restaurant for dinner.

Rating a three for two reasons: 1) the potable water is shut off (dump station open), and 2) the RV camp Spots are directly next to each other (No room for privacy feom the neighbors)

However, we always prefer to camp by some sort of body of water, so check that box. AND they have a great Christmas light show throughout the park around the lake/campground for the locals that my daughter enjoyed!

This municipal Campground is right off 36 , very convenient. The price is $20 for water and electric. You can swim in the lake and there are showers and a dump station. The Bel Villa is s great place to eat just up the road with plenty of parking for RVs. No shade. T mobile service was excellent and we got several TV stations.

the capacity is large and the local internet company just upgraded the wifi park wide. lots of trails and fishing is available everywhere by foot.
