    Bourbon County Fairgrounds Campground

    Convenient Location in Fort Scott

    We were guided to a large grass area and backed in next to an electric panel with multiple outlets. The 30amp worked well and we only had one other camper while we were there. Peaceful and quiet during the evenings and nearby to the downtown and historic fort. Verizon signal was good for streaming. Water spigot was located near the gravel access road and we filled our freshwater tank on the way out. The dump station has easy access and allowed for a good black tank flush.

    A former private lake

    What a gem! Amazing swimming beach, modern bath house and great restaurant.

    A handful of small campgrounds surround the lake. Almost every spot is on the water.

    Only drawback is restrooms are sometimes a short walk away.

    Oak Point Campground — Crawford State Park

    Wonderful place to visit

    We have stayed here twice now, both times it was amazing. The on-site restaurant is a nice perk when you simply don’t want to cook. Small lake, but everything is clean and well maintained. Highly recommend.
