5. Leota Cove — Prairie Dog State Park
Be the first to review!Norton, KansasGoing from north to south, there is the Prairie Dog State Park, the Sebelius Reservoir that is the lake, and the Norton Wildlife Area. (Technically the Sebelius Reservior is considered part of the Norton Wildlife Area.) These three entities are located next to each other, about 3 miles west and 1 mile south of Norton, Kansas.

Beautiful, great stop for my trip out west
Lovely campsite! Plenty of spots! You can be on the water, tucked away, or grab a few sites with some friends! Awesome to have picnic tables. It was a little buggy at dusk, but other than that no complaints. I got to see 2 great blue herons and listen to 2 great horned owls call to each other at night - how awesome!

Great birds, busy park
Stayed one night in a tent. Was able to find a site tucked in the trees that felt separate from the other campsites and it was perfect! Had a range of sites from primitive (picnic table and fire ring) to full hook up. Huge, busy campground but not overwhelming—there’s enough space to accommodate. Verizon works great.

Shady Rest Campground — Prairie Dog State Park
Unlike the other reviews, I think this place is great
I've been here twice now. Once in July and now at the very end of Oct. Better in Oct. No ticks or bugs and frankly of all the camping locations, there is a number of different choices, I had my section to myself. This place has swimming, a small hike, your choice of camping location, a frisbee golf course and miles one could hike or bike. I think it is kind of a jewel in the Kansas system.

Nice with FHU
Gravel, level sites. Short walk to the convenience store to get key to unlock the utilities box and pay for the site (check or cash only). Beautiful lake with walking path just over a mile around.

Oasis in the farm lands
What a gorgeous spot on our journey from CO to MN! Free sites around the lake and ok fishing. The game warden stopped by and said that the fish (carp, catfish, crappie, bluegill & shad) are all stunted. Too many fish for a small lake. Overnight we heard coyotes, crickets & cows.

Sheridan State Fishing Lake
Free and clean, but a little buggy
I had a majestic night here. Was just me and one other person. Campsites right up by the lake, and I was able to forage enough dry wood for a big ol' fire.

Free and clean
Nice spot, we went Labor Day weekend and there was still availability. Breezy and sunny even in late summer. Bathrooms were clean. Had picnic tables.

Not sure how you are suppose to access the electric boxes all had a lock tag on them. I was able to check which boxes were hot and found two boxes hot but was only able to use the 110 plug. Did not find any potable water all faucets were marked as non potable. There is a sign that says to call city hall on Wednesday between 8 and 5 to active electric. Today it is 101 degrees.

$39 and By the highway but... very clean
It's very expensive per night here and u will be right by the highway I'm sleeping out of the back of my rodeo so the noise is very annoying but I'm sure in an rv it wouldn't be bad at all I do have to say it is very clean here right by a gas station and a Walmart so a one night stay for a refuel and restock it is a good stay

No sewer , but dump station in park
Bathrooms need work or at least someone that cleans them at least daily. The park is nice but the bathrooms are embarrassing 26 dollars a night

A Pure Gem
Camping for anyone arriving at anytime. Don’t expect the best when arriving late, but most of you will have reservations, right? Then you will have the best. (Pause; Coyotes calling) this place has everything for any State Park you could ask. Expansive open grasslands a lake full of fish and fowl. Turkeys and whitetail deer and the coyotes call in the distance. A photographer could get lost in the pure wilderness available in the prairie. I’ve visited here during every season. The heat and bugs of mid July to the frozen autumn morings, always beautiful and teaming with wildlife. A great place to stay no matter your style. Just please be quiet, Mother Nature is listening.

Windy overnight!
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. Overall a nice place to stay!
Brittany V.LegendWhistle Stop RV and Antiques
It was mediocre at best… 1 night stays recommended
This was our first stop after hitting the road to start full time RVing, and we definitely needed to stop and recollect ourselves, but this is definitely a one night stop aorta place… nothing really near by but right off the highway and has all the full amenities one needs to recharge and prep for their next stop. Walmart is directly across the street within walking distance.
Just be aware of where you’re walking. I ended up with a metal staple in my foot and our pups picked up stickers in the grass

Pleasantly Surprised!
We stayed in Prairie Dog State Park for one night on our way back home from Colorado and were pleasantly surprised with what a nice park this was. We stayed in a primitive site. The sites were spacious and had a wonderful shelter! The vault toilet, however didnt look like it had been swept in awhile as it had a LOT of bug carcasses. But otherwise a nice place to stay. Something for everyone, tents, RVs, campers. Beautiful views!
Kevin H.LegendAtwood Lions Club Park
Delightful small, clean with good wifi
Great little campground in small town America. Run by the Lions Club, they’ve done a great job.
No reservations. Just take a vacant spot and head over to the convenience store. Some sites more shaded than others.
WiFi is great, but herewith ATT. 32 down, 3 up T-Mobile 5G 79 down, 15.3 up Visible: 11 down. 17 up

Great find for a late night on the road
Pulled in at 2am on Tuesday on our drive from Colorado to Vermont. Didn’t see a living soul from then till we left at 9am. I’d avoid the first loop because there’s a pretty loud generator sound. Other than that pretty nice and not too buggy.

Great FREE camping!
June 2021, great free camp location. Had the place almost all to ourselves. Big rig friendly. Many empty campsites right on the lake.

Hidden gem
What a great place to get off the road for the night. Don't come here looking for amenities, just a quiet place to stay. 50A service, great water pressure and sewer.
MindyTravelerOberlin-Sappa State Park
Not your typical state park
State park ran by local city of Oberlin. Beautiful, well maintained grounds. The drive in leads one to wonder are we there yet? The answer is well kind of. We were sitting in a field in a spot that provided electrical hookups but if you keep going (don’t pull off into the field as we initially did) you will find more. $10 night fee provided us with 30/50 amp service, there was a water station to fill up. Frisbee golf, playground, lots of open space. We were able to get our electric bikes out and explore. Geocache located near and inside park.
Crystal L.ScoutWhistle Stop RV and Antiques
Great little stop
Very clean restrooms and showers. Very nice to work with while traveling late at night. We will definitely stop again on our way to Colorado next time!

Odd free campground
This state park/campground is definitely.. unique. Following GPS directions to this camping area led us into the park and to a locked gate. Drive beyond the gate and there's an open field to the left with one official 'campsite'. Continue to drive past, following the road around for about 1-2 minutes, and you arrive to the "campground" / "Frisbee golf course", where there's 10 spots, I believe, and a donation based toilet.
There was someone set up at the single site in the open field, but the campground was empty. There were hookups that didn't look like they functioned. Since there were blue signs with "camping" written on them, and arrows pointing to the open field, we pulled our van along the back behind some trees, where there was a cute spot with a picnic table, and access to "Lake Bottom Trail" which really looked like a mowed path around a hunting ground. There was also another trail or two in the area, but we did not explore them.
The air was filled with tiny black flies (though harmless) but dozens and dozens got caught in my arm, head, and leg hairs, and it was quite frustrating, but again they were quite small and harmless, but that was my main issue with the location.
Locals drove by a few times, as it seemed farmland and some houses are accessed through the park. The town of Oberlin has very limited food/supplies.

Nice state campground
Stayed here two nights in primitive site under a tree worked very well . But all services are there . Popular for fishing weekends. KS parks folk are organized and place is tip-top ! Good location off route 36 . Thanks for a nice stay

Oberlin-Sappa State Park
Nice quiet spot
And free! Kind of an odd spot to arrive in, but really nice. Just two tiny signs indicating ‘camping’ in between. Trees and a field of mowed grass bordered by what appears to be a dry lake. A water pump on one side but it was shut off so none available. An electric box that was on the honor system to pay, but it was locked and unavailable as well. So we dry camped with our small teardrop. One picnic table, there are street type lights at one end. Only ones there but someone came in at dusk that seemed to be familiar with it and pulled behind a bank of trees with more privacy. There is a sign indicating that there must have been restrooms at one time- probably pit toilets- but they’re are NO bathrooms at this site! The sites themselves are not marked or numbered, so you just pull into a grassy spot between the trees!
