Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights5 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, and hiking. RV fit varies by site.
Canning Creek Cove sits on the western shore of 3,310-acre Council Grove Lake in the rolling grasslands of the Flint Hills, where patches of tallgrass prairie give way to oak woods and a ribbon of shoreline. The lake itself was formed by a dam built in 1964 and is surrounded by nearly 2,700 acres of public hunting land, so mornings and evenings often bring visible wildlife deer, wild turkey, quail and even prairie chicken in season along with plenty of songbirds and spring wildflowers on the Pioneer Nature Trail.

















Length limits vary by campsite.
Some sites have no hookups.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (10,065 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
