Clinton Campground

Clinton Campground lies just south of Lawrence inside Clinton State Park and is a popular weekend getaway for those living in the city or nearby Topeka. Sites at Clinton Campground have electrical and water hookups, and there is a dump station nearby if you need to empty your rig's sewage tank. Besides those hookups, there are few amenities when you camp in an RV at Clinton Campground, but most visitors are coming here to enjoy the area’s spectacular natural surroundings and seek the rustic setup. An extensive trail system encircles Clinton Lake and is popular with hikers, cyclists, and those just needing a place to walk their dog.

Clinton Lake has its own marina too, perfect for launching a kayak or canoe, both of which can be rented there. If you’re an angler and have the proper state license, Clinton Lake also has an abundance of white and smallmouth bass along with channel and blue catfish. But don’t feel like you need a bunch of gear to enjoy the tranquil waters – just jump in to enjoy its coolness on a hot summer day.

Another advantage of camping at Clinton Campground is its proximity to so many of Kansas’s urban areas; Lawrence, Topeka (the capital), and Kansas City (its largest metropolitan area) are all within a half-hour drive of the RV campground. Interstate 70, which connects Topeka with KC, is just north of Clinton State Park and several truck stops dot the highway.
