I was here in January (camper) $21 and early April (tent) $10 both times the park was still in off-season mode even though the April weekend was warm and nice, they open up in mid-April no exact date. There are hiking trails, MTB trails, frisbee golf, a beach, multiple boat ramps, many people fishing off the shore too. Easy access ... more

Easy access to Lawrence if you need supplies. The bathrooms are large clean and the winter bathroom was heated.
If you are camping and don't have a Kansas parks pass you will need to purchase a car sticker on top of the site fee. $5 a day.
I found my cell service spotty in the winter but with the Netgear MIMO antenna I had good WiFi.

Our first night was at site 385, which was not bueno, but Hey- we were in the park on a sold out night, so can't complain. Loved the trails in the woods down to the beach and walking on the paved roads. So close to KC and so easy to get in and out of. Loved it and will likely return again soon.

Great location!

Very family friendly
Not too far from town but very close to the lake. Host is very friendly and helpful.
Premium sites have a lot of shade and are pretty level. Sites are grassy or gravel.

This was one of the largest campgrounds we've ever seen, with hundreds of sites. During the week it was 3/4 empty, but more folks showed up for the weekend. Our "premium" site in Campground #3 had 50 amp electric and water (no sites have sewer). We had to trim some low hanging branches in order to back into our site, and we required several leveling blocks under our back wheels to get level. Many other sites looked fairly level so we just got unlucky. The park offers long-term/seasonal camping and we saw a number of run down/very old trailers, even one with a household washer and dryer hooked up outside, which surprised us for a state park. The sites are nicely spaced, and the park is attractive and clean. Being such a large campground, we always had plenty of places to walk the dog, including on several trails around the park. There's a very small beach area on the lake, but no dogs are allowed in the beach area. The showers were not good... the water wasn't hot, and with no curtain between your shower area and changing area, your clothes get wet while showering. We ended up doing navy showers in the RV all week rather than use the campground shower. With the $5/day park entry fee, the rate came to $26/day for us. If staying more than 5 nights, the annual pass at $25 becomes a better deal. We got AT&T and Verizon signal but it was weak and slow so we set up our booster which made things better. We found the area quiet and relaxing and would consider returning if we found ourselves in the area again.

Lawrence is a great town to check out while you're on the road and this park is in a great location to it. The park is HUGE and there are a lot of spots, but they're really spread so you get a lot of space. Our spot had a huge area behind it for the dog to play in as well. They have a boating area and a lot of trails to hike!
