 Rental cabins and campsites in the reservation system can be reserved in one of two ways:

1. Visit the online reservation system anytime at KSOutdoors.com.
   • Campsite reservations may be made beginning in mid-December for the following year. They must be made two days in advance.

All Kansas state park campsites use a numbered, color-coded post to identify each site. The color of the site number will indicate the type of amenities available:

Green = Primitive Site
Yellow = Electric Only
Blue = Electric and Water
White = Electric, Water and Sewer

• If a red “R” is shown, the campsite is reserved. If the site is available, a card on the campsite post will indicate if the site is available for one or two nights.
• If a reservation has not been made, in order to occupy the site, the camper must place their camping equipment on the site, then take the “Vacant” card to the park office or permit station and pay for the site.
• Campers who arrive after business hours must take the card to the office or permit sales station by 10 a.m. the following morning to register.

Self-pay vehicle and camping permits are available for one night only. Additional days may be purchased at the park office or permit sales station.
