Sunflower Campground

Can a campground surprise you with its versatility? Sunflower Campground at Hillsdale State Park in Paola, Kansas, offers an impressive mix of modern comforts and access to vibrant outdoor recreation. With 61 RV sites featuring full hookups, including electric, water, and sewer on level concrete pads, it caters to RVs up to 110 feet long, while nearby primitive camping options add flexibility for diverse camping styles.
