Camping at Coeur D'alene near Melvern

Public campground · Melvern · 48 campsites

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

About this campground

Coeur d'Alene Campground sits along Melvern Lake at the eastern edge of Kansas' Flint Hills, where roughly 7,000 acres of water meet about 18,000 acres of public land. The lake's upper Marais des Cygnes River valley is busy in summer with boating, swimming and water sports off a public boat ramp, dock and marina; anglers pursue walleye, crappie, channel and flathead catfish, black and white bass, and both striped and smallmouth bass, and there's a fish-cleaning station on site.

How far ahead to book Coeur D'alene

For May weekends, book about 111 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 38 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least

August12 days ahead46 days ahead11 days ahead69 days ahead
September14 days ahead40 days ahead6 days ahead25 days ahead

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 (7,354 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.
