Wilburton Fishing Pond
Quiet
Out of the way. 15 miles from town. Weak T-mobile. Warm days, cold nights.

Wilson State Fishing Lake Dispersed
Nice spot
When I got here it was very windy and the spot directly across the lake from here ended up being better and a little more out of the wind since there were more trees. Couldn’t find any rules for camping for camping in this area but ended up staying for several days without a problem. Had between 5-10 cars drive by each day so barely any traffic. Most of the spots on this lake are good in size and some have a nice open view of the sky for solar and Starlink which was great.

Wilburton pond, so pretty
It was easy to find, the pond is a one minute walk away and very pretty. I was the only one here and it was nice and peaceful. It was very chilly at night, but that is to be expected in November. I don’t have a heater, so I had to bundle up. I had excellent cell service (Verizon)

Overnight on the way home
Stopped for an overnight on the way home. The spots are pull offs, circles and small lots of gravel. No toilets or trash pickup. The area was actually very clean. Saw several deer across the lake at dusk, eating grass.
Beautiful spot not far off Highway 75.

pretty lake views
Pretty lake views, easy to drive in and find pretty private sites, and some fire ring

Nice and quiet
Camped here several days in late June. The were very few campers, even on the weekends. Many slept in their cars and left at first light. I assume they went fishing at the lake. Bathroom was a little rough but manageable.

Osage State Fishing Lake
Quick, easy, clean
On a road trip off the 70, pulled over to camp for the night! Quiet, only a few other campers around.. lovely nighttime sounds. Firepit. Some trash from other campers.. remember to pack it in and pack it out!
Lucy P.RangerOsage State Fishing Lake
Very pretty, mostly peaceful
We found a great spot for our van that was right on the water and mostly secluded. Got pretty busy on the weekend and people had loose dogs that were causing some problems, but otherwise very chill. Lake is beautiful, decent cell service with Verizon. Pit toilets in good shape when we arrived Thursday afternoon but kind of rough by the end of the weekend.
Camp in main area to be near toilets, otherwise there’s lots of loops near the water where you can find sites with more privacy. No trash so pack it out.

Wilburton Fishing Pond
Secluded campsite net the pond
Easy access, plenty of space
John G.ScoutLeavenworth Kansas State Fishing Lake
Quiet spot
This is a small remote lake of about 160 acres water area. A county road takes you through the area and across the dam. There are gravel pull off areas and a lakeside gravel road. The pit toilet is not well maintained. Not suitable for larger vehicles.

Boot Hill Casino
Good spot for the night
This is a huge complex with the casino, hotel and convention center. We called and asked about overnight. They said yes and requested we pull around back. However, we were one of the 3 that followed instructions. There were 7 or 8 large rigs and RVs that parked out front. The views out back were wonderful. Beautiful sunsets. Finding a level spot was not easy. It wouldn't have mattered as much, but the 35-40 mph spring winds with gusts ?, made it necessary. It is well lit with security patrol. Felt very safe. The casino was clean and nice. The restaurant was good. We stayed 1 night, but felt certain that multiple nights wouldn't have been a problem.

Moline North Lake
Fishing lake, camping permitted
Moline North Lake (Moline New City Lake) is a municipal reservoir northwest of Moline, Kansas. There are fishing access piers and a well-maintained road to them, as well as shelters, picnic tables, fire rings, and a vault toilet.
Local users told us that camping is permitted, so we camped there. It was peaceful and very pretty. There are few services, and no running water.
We suggest calling the city office to determine current policy and status of the area, but we had no problems.
