Best Cabin Camping near Strong City, KS

29 Reviews

Four cabin campgrounds serve the Strong City region, including El Dorado State Park's Bluestem Point and Walnut River Areas. Cabins at El Dorado State Park provide electric hookups with both standard outlets and 30/50-amp service suitable for heating and cooling needs. Most feature basic furnishings including beds, tables, and chairs. "We were pleased with having such an easy to use campground so close to home. The sites were level and spacious," noted one visitor about their cabin experience. Bathroom and shower facilities are available within the campgrounds, though several reviews mention maintenance issues with shower houses, including occasional closures due to water line problems.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Eisenhower State Park Campground offers cabin accommodations year-round with a 4.6/5 rating, making it the highest-rated cabin option in the area. Owl's Nest Campground provides furnished cabins with full hookups including water, sewer, and 50-amp electrical service. Reservations are required for all cabin facilities, with most accepting online bookings. A review mentioned "This was one of our favorite Kansas State Parks. At the end of May, it was almost empty. We had our pick of sites." Pet policies vary by campground, with most allowing pets but enforcing leash requirements.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Basic cooking facilities are typically limited to outdoor fire pits with picnic tables, though fire regulations vary seasonally. Several campgrounds feature on-site stores selling essentials, including El Dorado State Park where one visitor noted "The general store carries camping essentials, beer, and ice." Eisenhower State Park offers kayak and canoe rentals through its general store. Nearby towns provide additional shopping options for groceries and supplies. Periodic cleanliness issues have been reported in some cabins, with one review specifically warning about bed bugs in Cabin 5 at Bluestem Point.

    Bed bugs!!! Don’t rent Cabin 5 Larkspur

    I’m exhausted, the last 12hrs has been a dumpster fire. Last thing we expected was a bed bug infestation. Woke at midnight with a few annoying bites, on further inspection we were covered in bed bugs, urrrgghh. After picking them off our pj’s and getting over the initial shock we went home to quarantine our clothes, shower and sleep. Returned in the morning to checkout and trash our sleeping bags and pillows. Everyone is disappointed, and I’m out of pocket for 2 nights accommodation and 4x sleeping gear...whoever the host is should be ashamed of themselves, I’m trying to warn the next people, this cabin is booked solid but in reality uninhabitable! The porch is also infested with burrowing bumblebees, scary for kids and adults alike.

    Beautiful views and lots to do

    Beautiful campgrounds with so many activities available! The general store is super helpful, as they sell firewood and ice, and have kayak and canoe rentals. There are a few swim beaches, and plenty of sand to sit in and relax. Our actual campsite was great and came equipped with a firepit and picnic table, and we could walk to the lakeshore. We will be back!

    Primitive camping was small and exposed, but fun

    The fivestar loop is decent for tent camping. The sites were fairly small and jammed next to each other, and half of them didn't have great tree cover, but they all have a nice firepit and picnic table.  It was super duper windy off of the lake for us, so be ready for wind.  Bathrooms were nice and clean and the staff were very nice.

    Decent campground

    Very few 50 amp site to choose from and no 50 amp sites with shade. Decent beach area with playground equipment for kids. The general store carries camping essentials, beer, and ice.

    Big Oak Campground

    You'd think the Big Oak Campground in El Dorado State Park would be amazing. It's shaded with huge trees, nice sized sites some of which are very spread out, a quick walk to the swim beach and a quick drive to put your boat in the water. Unfortunately these pluses are far outweighed by the negatives. First the bathrooms were horrible. I realize they are older restrooms but they smelled awful, they were never obviously cleaned, the showers were not even a tiny bit private, the door to the restroom was broken and had to be propped open with a tree branch. Just over the bridge at the swim beach they were worse and some of the doors in the women’s room were missing. Yuck! Secondly basic campground rules were not enforced at all. The site across from us easily had 30 people camping and were up until 4am with loud music and a bright light on. I’m not kidding, my daughter was up around 3 to use the restroom and we walked by twice. The family in the site next to us had at least 4 cars and 2 tents set up outside the site on the walking path in addition to their two tents in their own site. The dog free swim beach had dogs on it. We camp with our dogs, one of which loves to swim and even I don’t want dogs on a public beach. Our camping weekend was negatively affected by poor camping etiquette and a sever lack of basic rule enforcement. We won’t be back to El Dorado State Park Big Oak campsite any time soon, at least not during the busy summer camping season. Cross Timbers and Fall River are much better!

    One Week Acceptable

    Reserve online, reasonably priced. One week stay in this little park, close to Junction City and Fort Riley. Full hookups in pull- thru half circle asphalt tar or back-in sites. Close to Hwy 70 with some noise. Laundry/shower area available.

    You know you’ve been camping too much when....

    ....the camp host offers you dog food and asks if your homeless....haha

    Bluestem Point Rocks & Rolls! My SOBF (significant other boyfriend) and I have camped here over six times. We didn’t even leave when they had the semi-floods and crazy lightning storms in May & June 2019 (and we only live 30 minutes away). The picnic tables are great because they are shaped like a sail and you can turn them to block the wind or sun. You can also put a tarp on top and block out the rain. The camp hosts (Bob and Jean) are so friendly and accommodating. They also keep the place spic and span.

    Quaint, well maintained campground

    This campground is Small, but a well laid out campground. They have daily, weekly and monthly rates. There are Full hook ups, pull thru and back in sites, so it’s convenient no matter what you are driving. They nice level spots and definitely well maintained. A m Is quite a bit of shade, which is nice in the Kansas heat once summer rolls around.

    Love the park, not the bait store!

    Park is nice & clean! Ross at the main entrance is a great guy with lots of information about the parks & lake. Camp host at Sunflower Meadows was nice & helpful. I would give the park 5 stars but the man at the Bluestem Bait & General Store was very rude! So rude that we made the 12 mile drive back to El Dorado to buy all our supplies & bait at Walmart & Angler's Bait & Tackle. The man at Angler's Bait & Tackle was very helpful & went out of his way to help make our camping & fishing trip enjoyable! Just goes to show that customer service can make you or break you. Will definately be going back to Bluestem Point but not to Bluestem Bait & General Store!
