A forested campground near hiking. RV fit varies by site.
Beyond the campground's immediate conveniences, Washunga Bay is a practical base for a wide range of outdoor pursuits on Kaw Lake. The reservoir and Arkansas River are known for producing large channel and flathead catfish as well as crappie, white (sand) bass and walleye, and the lake supports ten public boat ramps plus two full-service marinas at McFadden Cove and Pioneer Park.
Length limits vary by campsite.
Dump station on site.

For September weekends, book about 180 days ahead. Three in four September Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 52 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 (5,297 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.
