Camping at Curtis Creek near Junction City

Public campground · Junction City · 66 campsites

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

The campground is a strong base for water-focused recreation and longer trail outings because Milford Lake is the largest man-made lake in Kansas, about 15,700 acres with roughly 163 miles of shoreline fed by the Republican River. Water skiing and other water sports are common on the open water, and shoreline anglers and birders will find plenty to do; the broader Milford Lake area supports biking, hiking (including the Waterfall Trail and Crystal Trail), wildlife viewing from a dedicated tower and trail, and horseback riding.

How far ahead to book Curtis Creek

For June weekends, book about 125 days ahead. Three in four June Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 34 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

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 (10,241 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.
