Hillsdale State Park

We own a house nearby, but camp here often. Always clean, amazing staff/volunteers, wildlife here and there, etc. There is a store down at the marina, too. Keep an eye out crossing the bridge, there is a tree by the water that you'll often see two bald eagles at. So beautiful!

Huge park with all types of camping. Lots of sites right on the water. Will keep this one on the list. 

We stayed at spot #89 in the Pintail Point campground which has to be the best location for shade, close to lake and large space away from neighbors.  Lare lake for boating,fishing, canoe and kayaking.  Canoe rental was $10/hr or $40/all day.  Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, with water & electric hookup.

Nice quiet and comfortable campground. We checked in late over night, paid the fee at the self service station and found a spot. It was also very clean 

Arrived late. Picked out spot next to host and bathroom. Put $5 in envelope for night. 15 amp not working, but 30 amp did and with dog bone 30 to  15 step down we were good. Nice bathroom with flush toilets. Snowny, and couldn’t see much in morning. Sparse numbers of RV’s this time of year. 

We enjoyed our stay here!

Hillsdale State Park

This park is on the bigger side. It’s nice and open. When we were here it was full but did not feel that way. We stayed at there new loop sunflower, it’s so new it’s not even on any maps yet. Not many trees in this loop as in others, but the spots are concrete and level. They are also the only sits that have waste hook ups at the site itself along with power and water. All the other sits only have water and power. They have two swim beaches, but it seems everyone one goes to only one. It’s a big beach but the swimming part is on the smaller side. The other beach is on the other side of the dam. They have spots over there for campers with horses. There is also a very nice hiking trail over there that was done by the Army Corp of Engineers. I would recommend this state park.    

Been coming to Hillsdale State Park for the last 4 years when we pass through Olathe to see our daughter and grand daughter. Very clean and manicured campgrounds. We stay at Sunflower campground. This campground has full hookups unlike the other four campgrounds.  Hard to get into on weekends unless you reserve a site in February or March. For week days (Sunday night through Thursday night) no problem reserving a site a couple of weeks in advance. Sites are large and wide, at least 75 to 80 feet long, and spaced far apart. Utilities are placed conveniently; there is a picnic table and fire ring. The camp host  sells fire wood. It is a very popular lake and campgrounds during the summer. You will need either a $5 daily vehicle pass or a $25 yearly vehicle pass for each motorized vehicle. 

Directions don't take you to campgrounds. There's 4 different cg to Hillsdale. We stayed at Scott Creek. Large sites, well maintained, pretty level, but no wifi (one of the reasons I chose it). Would return. 

Love this park! Clean well manicured lake area. Several very shaded lots. Water at most all sites.  Only disappointment is no 50 amps in the shady areas that I found

Nice camp grounds

You want my social security number to camp? Have you lost your minds? They said, "Its filled in with black dots (code word encryption). We can't see it. We only profile you once because we are looking for Deadbeat Dads."
Well Kansas, if you think I am going to risk my financial security to spend the night in your park, you're nuts!
You already get our drivers license, tag, address....can I show you my kids college degree instead? 

Clean campgrounds with mostly level lots and plenty of shade. Stayed at Crappie Cove campground. Shower house and restrooms are better than average. Great place to enjoy the outdoors and water sports with the family. 

Fee is $27 for full hook up unless you have a state park pass. Self pay station is not very user-friendly. Had a tick crawling on me second time I ventured off the pavement. Other than that it's OK.
