Camping at Minooka Park near Sylvan Grove

Public campground · Sylvan Grove · 145 campsites · 1 group

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

About this campground

Minooka Park Campground sits on the south shore of Wilson Lake in the rolling Smoky Hills of north-central Kansas, where limestone outcrops and miles of post-rock fencing give the landscape a rugged, prairie-edge character. The lake itself is noted for exceptionally clear blue water and strong striper fishing Wilson's higher-salinity tributary waters favor ocean-native striped bass that anglers prize alongside walleye, large- and smallmouth bass, white bass, and channel and flathead catfish stocked and managed by the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.

How far ahead to book Minooka Park

For June weekends, book about 172 days ahead. Three in four June Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 74 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 (25,215 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.
