Campgrounds and RV parks near Hill City, KS

Hill City sits in north-central Kansas along Highway 24, positioned between two reservoir-based state parks that anchor most RV camping in the region. From Hill City, Webster State Park is located 21 miles east on Highway 24, while Prairie Dog State Park lies to the northwest near Norton on Keith Sebelius Reservoir. Both parks are managed by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks and take reservations through ReserveAmerica. Webster State Park is the closest option for most travelers heading to Hill City. The park spans 880 acres eight miles west of Stockton and offers more than 100 campsites with electric, partial, and full hookup options across several campgrounds. Old Marina, Lakeview, and Goose Flat sit along the reservoir shoreline and are the main RV-friendly loops. Further north, Shady Rest at Prairie Dog State Park draws campers looking for a quieter prairie setting. The park occupies 1,150 acres on the shores of Keith Sebelius Reservoir in Norton County, with electric and water hookup sites, primitive sites, and cabin options. The WaKeeney KOA Journey, roughly an hour south along I-70, is the nearest private RV park with full hookups and pull-through sites.

Both Webster and Prairie Dog State Parks use the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks reservation system through ReserveAmerica. Most Kansas state parks offer an online reservation system for campgrounds and cabin rentals, and it is advisable to book in advance, especially during peak season. Sites can be reserved by specific site number, which matters at Lakeview and Old Marina where shoreline sites go first. A current motor vehicle permit is required for every motorized vehicle entering the state park, purchased separately from the campsite fee. Renters must be 18 or older to rent a cabin or campsite. For October dates at Webster, and for group sites, call the park office directly rather than booking online. The WaKeeney KOA Journey books through the KOA website or app.
