Known for being situated on the shores of the clearest lake in Kansas, this park offers a rugged shoreline characterized by sandstone cliffs and scenic vistas. It provides a peaceful retreat where the focus is firmly on the natural environment and outdoor recreation, rather than the bustle of city life.

Had a real nice quiet time here at Wilson RV Park in Wilson Kansas. Met Lisa and David the owners, very nice down to earth people! Already planning another trip to come here again, so close to Wilson lake Kansas! Also they have a Cozy coffee shop and bakery! Blueberry muffins, scones common cinnamon buns and other baked goodies! Make fresh on site! Great coffee too and also breakfast sandwiches all are 👍

Great stay for the night while driving thru Kansas. Great price and very friendly and helpful owners! Easy to find and away from the 70 hwy! Very quiet and pull thru site was perfect for my 35 ft motorhome pulling my Mini on back.

We enjoyed our stay at this campground. We stayed 1 night on our way to Colorado. We've stopped in Wilson to eat at Made from Scratch several times. Wilson is a small quaint town that feels very safe. We were happy to find this small, quiet campground. We didn't go in the bathrooms, but the building looked nice. The lady that met us was very nice and helpful. Our site was nice and level, had 50 and 30 amp, easy hookup to utilities. We will definitely stay here again.

Our stay here was absolutely perfect. The area is well kept, showers and facility is clean, laundry and dryers are available, WiFi is quick, and the owners are so kind and hospitable. The RV park feels safe and the surrounding neighborhood and town is so charming. We had a good nights rest with it being quiet. If you’re ever needing a place to stay … my family and I recommend this cozy park!

This place truly is a wonderful hideaway in a small, cozy, small Kansas town. I came during the off season, so it was exceptionally quiet, but even if it was busy, due to its great location, road/highway noise is not at all an issue. The sites are large, gravel and mostly level, though some minor leveling might be required. Each site has water, electric and sewer, though a peculiarity is that at least for the site I was in and those nearby, the sewer connection designated for your site will be on the passenger side, instead of the drivers side. Do note, the electrical pedestals are older, so if you have a trailer that is wired for 50A but technically overdraws, but you've been fine at other campgrounds, I would exercise caution here. There are showers, bathrooms and great laundry facilities right on site. But more than just the facilities, the owners absolutely make the place. Dave and Lisa are warm, welcoming and some of the most sincere people you will ever meet. They will help you feel right at home, no matter how far home really is! They will treat you like an old friend in the best way possible. The Czech egg is probably the biggest major attraction in the area, but even if you're passing through, I can't recommend this place enough. Next time I'm driving through Kansas, I will definitely be back!
