MAIN Travel Camping Campgrounds Kansas Campgrounds

Although the lone prairie seems not to hold a big attraction to campers or hikers, most visitors are surprised to learn that Kansas is home to river valleys, fishing lakes and even ancient forests, and is the perfect spot for family-friendly outdoor adventures.

With a well-developed state park system, Kansas offers either tent camping, cabin rentals and rv facilities in all but three locations - Mushroom Rock, Prairie Spirit Trail, and Sand Hills State Park.

Among dozens of state parks that dot the Kansas map, there are camping locations near Wichita (Lake Afton), Topeka (Clinton Lake) and Kansas City (Lewis and Clark State Park in MO).

The oldest state park, Kanopolis, (an hour's drive from Salina) ranks among the state's most popular and offers a full-service marina, beaches, tent camping, picnic areas and cabins, as well as trails for horseback riding, mountain biking, and hiking.
