Best Glamping near Scott City, KS
Historic Lake Scott State Park's Circle Drive accommodates glamping travelers with unique stays in yurts and cabins nestled within a surprising canyon landscape surrounded by flat Kansas farmlands. The spring-fed lake provides a tranquil backdrop for these elevated accommodations, which include water and electrical hookups, nearby shower facilities, and comfortable amenities not found in traditional camping. Glamping units feature proper beds, climate control, and convenient access to the lake and trails. The park's glamping options are particularly popular during summer months when water activities become a focal point. "This park is a gem! Just a mile away all you can see is the flat farmlands of KS and then the road dips down into the canyon and you're in another world with a spring-fed lake and shady cottonwood trees," reported one visitor.
The glamping experience at Scott Lake connects visitors with numerous outdoor activities while maintaining comfort. Guests can kayak on the small, no-wake lake, fish from ADA-accessible docks, hike the bluffs trail, or play disc golf on the park's course. Several reviewers noted the excellent proximity to nearby attractions including Monument Rocks (19 miles east) and Little Jerusalem State Park (19 miles west), making glamping here an ideal base for regional exploration. The park maintains a small store and bait shop near the swim beach that opens on weekends, where visitors can rent kayaks, canoes and paddle boats. According to a camper, "We spent the hot part of the days kayaking in the lake. The boat house rents kayaks, canoes, and paddleboats but only on weekend. There are lots of historic places in the park that we visited and hiking trails."
