Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights1 site open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. RV fit varies by site.
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.

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.
