One of the smaller camps around the park this only has 6 slots available but the views are available on 3 sides of this peninsula style campground. Available on a first come first serve basis there are no frills with camping at this location as it is primitive only style camping.
Small RVs or Vans could use this campsite however it really is designed with the tent camper in mind as it has great grassy areas which are semi flat.
Each campsite is equipped with the basics a grill ring and picnic table and there is some shade in the area scattered throughout. Access to playground and restrooms is very close by so this could easily be a great location for families looking to spend some time at the lake.
The shore line alongside 2 of the 3 sides of this area are rocky and ideal for fishing while there is also a sandy beach which is directly alongside the camp. When I visited recent rains had forced the lake levels to be very high and this made a portion of the beach submerge below the waters edge but this is not typical.
Prices here are very reasonable at only $13 a night but they do quickly fill during peak season due to the lakes popularity.
TIPS:
- Rent a watercraft from local retailer. Information on all those which have units is available online or on the kiosk just inside camp. There are a variety of options ranging from paddle boards to small fishing boats.
- Take the bike path trail which loops through the park. This is a great way to have a little fun outdoors away from the lake activities. The course is pretty well known in Kansas.
