Chase State Fishing Lake

This is a well kept state fishing lake. The lake is surrounded by Prarie and all the camp and picnic sites have shade trees. Camping is free!

We stayed here in our DIY camper van. It was a weeknight, and I think we were the only ones there. No real facilities, camping spots next to the lake. Rocky and not entirely level, but workable. Happy enough for a free overnight stay.

There are about 3 or 4 sites suitable for an RV. We were at the one at the end which was great if you have a larger RV (it was the largest and level). All are pull throughs for the most part. Other than folks driving through (probably to see if the site was open) and the trash left smoldering in the fire ring when we got there, it was ... more

kansas fishing lakes are a priceless gift. this one is no exception. very clean scenic and has nice benches. quiet and serene. as a bonus the little town in cottonwood falls is lovely.

We got in late as we were just passing through and needed a place to park for the night. The spots near the bathrooms seemed taken, but we found a spot further along in a circle near the water. There was a fire ring. No level ground as it all slopes slightly toward the lake. Lots of mosquitos, but a pretty view when we woke up.

I came down to stretch my legs and find some shade for my cats from our travels from Arizona. It was a busy spot but it was also Easter Sunday. Very windy( 20 mph) but I just wanted to organize the van and stretch my legs. Spots were pull through right by the water and clean. Pit toilets were functional and supplied with toilet paper.... more

We were traveling through this area late and leaving early the next day, so finding a nice spot by a lake to camp for free was very exciting. Since it was dark when we came in, we didn't look around to pick a spot, but what we did see was quite nice. No other campers that we saw, but we did see a couple early morning fishermen. There s... more

Nice, quiet lake with great, tiered waterfalls near park entrance (walk across dam; at fork go left). I hear the falls are not so great, or dried up, if during drought. Several people fishing during day and not many camping overnight. About half and half tents vs RVs. Difficult to find a level site, due to being so close to water and s... more

We stayed here only for one night while passing through but it was a perfect spot. There are fire pits, picnic tables, and the lake was really nice too.

It was very quiet- I think we were the only ones there.

We pulled in late afternoon on a Sunday and had a number of sites to pick from, all along the lake. Spent time in Cottonwood Falls walking around plus did a short drive to the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, seeing bison and the old school house, all very interesting. Laundromat in Cottonwood Falls is totally five stars.
