U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Minooka Park Campground

I could fill an entire page with all the positive things there are at this beautiful Corps of Engineers campground. The details and thoughtfulness that went into the design of the campground loops are amazing. Most of the campsites are level, and they are staggered, so no one is lined up right next to you. There are quite a few loops to choose from. During the off season ( September 16 - May 14 ) primitive campsites are FREE and campsites with electric are only $20 *$10 with the America the beautiful pass. The location is beautiful and the shoreline is easy to walk or fish from. They even have hiking trails there and saved some of the old limestone fence posts as a reminder of the rich history of the area. Another amazing Corps of Engineers campground in an area of Kansas that looks nothing like I ever imagined Kansas to look like. Beautiful !

Love this place and is always kept clean. You do get the occasional rude and disrespectful camper who trash the place or don't control their dog. However, most people are very friendly and respectful and willing to lend a hand. The lake and views are beautiful.

Clearest lake in Kansas! Great place to camp, 5 miles off the highway, over 100 camp spots, great views of the lake all around. My 2nd time coming here, and it's always a great getaway. I usually stay 1 night because I'm passing through and it's right off the highway. Campground is very clean, bathrooms are accessible from all sites, the playground area is great for the kids, and they have a shower bathroom located near the entrance only. Sites are spacious with water and electric hookups and most of them are well spread out! Swimming is great here, plenty of spots to jump in. Fishing available aswell. The ONLY DOWNSIDE is the bugs here. Soo many Nats, Flee's and Flys that it's hard to stay away from in the evening. Bring bug spray, bug repellant candle and you should be fine. I highly recommend this campsite even with that aspect. The views are unbeatable.

I booked my reservation the same day, online, and check-in was super easy as someone was at the gate to give us a map. There are dump stations & water just prior to entering the campground as well as at the gate. Bath houses were in very good order/clean. It was quiet at night at a reasonable time , even though there were a lot of people there.The lake is amazing and we couldn't believe this was in the middle of Kansas. The lake was clean and beautiful. Lots of areas to swim if you didn't have a boat. There's a great 2.2 mile trail within walking distance of the campground.

A group of 5 of us stayed at this campground on our road trip and it is such a great place. We only tent camped so a non electric hook-up was free for the night we stayed. There is potable water everywhere, and the campground is so clearly marked. We arrived after dark and had no issue. It is also really pretty. My only complaint is I was told it was the clearest lake in Kansas, but when we jumped in the lake in the morning, it was not very clear. Otherwise, such a nice camp
