Campground Overview

About Kit Carson Campground

What sets Kit Carson Campground apart is its prime location on the shores of the 3,310-acre Council Grove Lake in eastern Kansas, offering a tranquil environment for fishing, boating, and wildlife observation. With shaded campsites, modern amenities like electric hookups, and proximity to hiking trails, it is an ideal spot for campers seeking both relaxation and outdoor activities.

The campground features 11 reservable sites, each equipped with electric hookups, nearby flush toilets, and spacious areas for accommodating RVs and tents. Boating enthusiasts will appreciate the on-site boat ramp, while anglers can target abundant species such as crappie, catfish, and saugeye. Visitors also have access to the scenic Pioneer Nature Trail, which winds along the lakeshore, presenting stunning views of wildflowers and wildlife.

Located just 2 miles from the historic town of Council Grove, the campground provides easy access to Santa Fe Trail landmarks and serves as a gateway to the Flint Hills. This makes it a versatile choice for weekend getaways or extended stays combining natural beauty, history, and recreation.
