Camping at Outlet (Pomona Lake) near Vassar

Public campground · Vassar · 28 campsites

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

About this campground

Outlet Campground sits along 110 Mile Creek on the eastern shore of Pomona Lake, a 4,000-acre reservoir set in the rolling hills, mixed grasslands, croplands and patches of forest that mark this corner of eastern Kansas. The site feels quieter than some of the larger recreation areas on the lake because a heavy tree canopy shades many campsites, and wildlife is easy to spot from camp white-tailed deer and wild turkey move through the woods, Canada geese and bald eagles frequent the water, and anglers chase crappie, walleye and channel catfish.

How far ahead to book Outlet (Pomona Lake)

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 (6,178 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.
