Campgrounds near Lansing, Kansas
Lansing sits in Leavenworth County in northeast Kansas, on the west bank of the Missouri River and roughly a half hour north of the Kansas City metro. The area gives RV travelers a mix of state park camping, private RV resorts, and metro-area hookup parks, most within a 30 to 45 minute drive of town.
Weston Bend State Park sits directly across the Missouri River from the Lansing area on the Missouri side, and Lewis and Clark State Park is a public recreation area on the south shore of Lewis and Clark Lake, also known as Sugar Lake, in Buchanan County, Missouri, a bit farther north near Rushville. Between them, Basswood Resort in Platte City, Missouri offers full hook-up RV sites with 30 and 50 amp service and a family-oriented activity schedule.
For travelers who want to be closer to Kansas City itself, Walnut Grove RV Park provides a metro-area base with easy access to I-35 and downtown Kansas City attractions. Travelodge Airport Platte City is a non-camping backup near KCI for arrival or weather nights.
Things to do near Lansing
Trails and river overlooks anchor the outdoor options. At Weston Bend, a 3-mile paved bicycle trail takes hikers and bikers through the park's woody terrain, and scenic Missouri River overlooks are reachable from the campground. The historic town of Weston, with wineries and tobacco-barn history, sits minutes away.
Lewis and Clark State Park is built for lake days and wildlife watching. Bird watchers come to Lewis and Clark to watch geese, great blue herons, eagles, swans and snowy egrets flock to the oxbow lake throughout the seasons. Note that due to prolonged drought conditions, the lake at Lewis and Clark State Park is currently dry, and there are no water activities available at this time. Check park updates before planning boating or fishing.
Closer to the metro, families use Basswood Resort for on-site pools, fishing lakes, and themed weekends, and Walnut Grove RV Park as a base for Kansas City barbecue, museums, and pro sports.

The Lansing area has a humid continental climate with four distinct seasons. Kansas City experiences a humid continental climate, marked by a very large seasonal temperature contrast. Summers are hot, while winters are cold and bring regular snowfall. The area is fairly wet overall, with a strong pattern of wetter summers and drier winters. Late spring is the wettest stretch and also brings peak severe-weather risk on the Plains.
Missouri state parks across the river run a clear on-season and off-season split. Campsites are reservable April 15 through October 31, with walk-up availability during the off season. Water and showers are offered April 15 through October 31, with a single potable water spigot accessible during the winter months. Weston Bend and Lewis and Clark both stay open year-round but shift to limited services in the cold months.
Peak booking pressure runs Memorial Day through Labor Day and on any holiday weekend. Fall shoulder weeks in September and October tend to bring the most comfortable RV weather and the best site availability.
How to book near Lansing
Missouri State Parks handle reservations through a single system. You are now able to reserve your Missouri State Parks campsite up to 12 months in advance, expanding from the previous six-month window. Reservations may also be made by calling toll free 877-ICampMO (877-422-6766). This covers both Weston Bend State Park and Lewis and Clark State Park.
Expect a weekend minimum during the on-season. Weekend reservations require a two night stay, either Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday. Private parks book direct: Basswood Resort and Walnut Grove RV Park both take reservations online or by phone through the operator's own site. For holiday weekends and July travel, book several months out.
What to expect on-site
State park sites in the area are RV-friendly but sized for a range of rigs. At Weston Bend, the campground offers 35 campsites including basic sites and electric sites, with some 50-amp options available, and camping pads accommodate RVs from 40 to 74 feet, with pull-through sites available for larger rigs. Overhead tree cover is heavy, so tall rigs should check clearance.
Lewis and Clark handles bigger units. This state-managed campground accommodates RVs up to 96 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. Paved interior roads and level pads make backing in straightforward.
Private parks lean urban and amenity-heavy. Walnut Grove RV Park offers 30 and 50 amp service, hot showers, laundry, a dump station, and Wi-Fi, with sites spaced closer together than at the state parks.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Lansing, KS
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Lansing, KS?
RV rental in Lansing is affordable compared to major metros. Travel trailers typically start around $90 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes run about $150 to $250 per night, and Class A motorhomes generally range from $200 to $375 per night. Because Lansing sits in a smaller Leavenworth County market, daily rates are often friendlier than booking out of downtown Kansas City. To score a cheap RV rental Lansing travelers love, book midweek, target shoulder seasons like April or late September, and look for hosts offering weekly discounts. Many local hosts also waive delivery fees within 20 miles, which can save you the hassle of using a tow vehicle.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Lansing%2C%20KansasWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Lansing, KS?
Good news: a regular Kansas driver's license (or any standard U.S. or Canadian license) is all you need to rent an RV in Lansing, KS. The Kansas Department of Revenue does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or special endorsement for personal motorhomes or trailers used recreationally, even for big Class A rigs. You'll need to be 25 or older to book on RVezy, and ID verification happens quickly inside the platform during checkout. Visiting from overseas? Pick up an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country before you fly in, pair it with your home license, and you're cleared to roll out of Lansing toward the Flint Hills or Kansas City.
ksrevenue.gov/dovindex.htmlIs RV rental in Lansing, KS protected if something goes wrong?
Yes. Every RV rental in Lansing booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you have backup if something happens on K-7 or I-70. Protection plans help cover physical damage to the RV, giving you peace of mind without arranging your own coverage. During booking you choose your preferred protection level (guests select it, not hosts), so you can match the coverage to your Kansas itinerary. It is not traditional auto insurance, but it is designed specifically for peer-to-peer RV trips. With support a tap away, a first-time motorhome rental in Lansing feels refreshingly low-stress.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat's the cancellation policy if my Lansing RV trip plans change?
Booking is low-risk. RVezy sets the cancellation policy for every rent an RV in Lansing booking (not the individual host), and there is a money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in a great rig with confidence. Refund eligibility after the grace period depends on how far out you cancel. Because weather in northeast Kansas can shift fast, this flexibility is genuinely useful when storms or other disruptions appear. When you are ready, use the cancellation option in your RVezy dashboard or message support, and you will get clear guidance on what applies to your specific dates.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Lansing, KS?
Yes. Pet-friendly RV rental Lansing options are easy to find: toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see hosts who welcome four-legged co-pilots. Lansing is a great pet base, with Ken Bernard Park in town for stretching legs and Riverfront Park in Leavenworth about 10 minutes away along the Missouri River. Heading further out, Weston Bend State Park across the river in Missouri (about 25 minutes) and Wyandotte County Lake Park both allow leashed dogs on their trails. Message the host before booking to share your dog's size and breed so they can confirm any pet fee and suggest favorite dog-friendly campsites.
ksoutdoors.com/State-Parks/Pets-in-State-ParksCan the RV be delivered to me in Lansing, KS?
Yes. RV delivery Lansing is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it is a game-changer if it is your first time renting an RV. Many Leavenworth County hosts will drive the rig to your campsite or driveway, level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system before they leave. Common delivery destinations include Riverfront Park and Campground in Leavenworth and Lake Perry about an hour west. Use the Delivery filter when you search, then message the host with your destination so they can quote the mileage fee, which is usually a flat per-mile rate within roughly 50 miles of Lansing.
leavenworthks.gov/parksrec/page/riverfront-park-campgroundHow many miles per day do I get with a Lansing, KS RV rental?
Most Lansing hosts include between 100 and 150 free miles per day, and you'll also find listings with RV rental with unlimited mileage if you're planning a longer Kansas RV trip. That daily allowance is plenty for local loops: Lansing to Lawrence is about 35 miles, to downtown Kansas City around 30 miles, to Topeka roughly 60 miles, and to the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve near Strong City about 110 miles. Extra miles typically run $0.30 to $0.45 each, clearly listed on the listing page before you book. Pro tip: if you're plotting a bigger route like Lansing to the Ozarks or out to Colorado, sort by unlimited-mileage listings first to keep your fuel and mileage budget predictable.
nps.gov/tapr/index.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Lansing, KS?
You have excellent options within 30 minutes of Lansing. Riverfront Park and Campground in Leavenworth offers RV sites with electricity right along the Missouri River, with reservations through the city Parks and Rec office. For a state-park feel, Weston Bend State Park across the river in Missouri (about 25 minutes) has wooded electric sites. A bit further west, Lake Perry offers shoreline camping at Corps of Engineers parks and great paddling, and Clinton State Park near Lawrence is about 45 minutes away. Reserve holiday weekends like Memorial Day and July 4 at least two weeks ahead, since Riverfront requires advance booking with full payment.
leavenworthks.gov/parksrec/page/riverfront-park-campgroundWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip from Lansing, KS?
The sweet spot for RV camping Lansing trips is mid-April through early June and again from September through late October, when northeast Kansas highs sit comfortably in the 65 to 80 F range and humidity backs off. July and August are doable but expect highs in the upper 80s to mid 90s with occasional severe thunderstorms, so prioritize RVs with strong air conditioning and shaded campsites. Fall is a local favorite, with bluffs along the Missouri River near Weston Bend showing color in mid-October. Winter rentals (December through February) are available from select hosts for shorter trips, with daytime highs often in the 30s and 40s and overnight lows that can dip into the teens.
weather.gov/eax/I've never driven an RV. Is renting one in Lansing, KS really doable?
Yes, and Lansing is a great launchpad for a first time renting an RV. Your host gives you a hands-on orientation at pickup or delivery covering driving, leveling, slide-outs, water, propane, and the dump station, so you are not figuring anything out alone. The roads around Lansing are forgiving: US-73 and K-7 are wide four-lane corridors, and rural two-lanes are minutes away for low-pressure practice. Start with a travel trailer or Class C if you want something more car-like to handle. A short shakedown stay at Riverfront Park in Leavenworth your first night is smart, so any questions come up while you are 15 minutes from your host.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if I have a breakdown during my Lansing RV trip?
You are covered. Every RVezy booking in Lansing includes 24/7 roadside assistance through the renter protection plan, so help is one phone call away whether you are on I-70, parked at Clinton Lake, or on a Flint Hills back road. Roadside can dispatch for flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, towing, and mechanical issues. Your host is also a direct line for questions about quirks specific to their rig, and RVezy support is available before, during, and after every trip. Before calling, snap a photo of the rig's VIN, license plate, and the nearest mile marker on K-7 or I-70 to speed dispatch when you are somewhere rural.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best RV road trips from Lansing, KS?
Lansing sits at a sweet crossroads for an RV road trip from Lansing in any direction. Easy crowd-pleasers include Lake Perry (about 55 miles west, perfect for a weekend), Lawrence and Clinton State Park (about 45 miles southwest), and downtown Kansas City for BBQ and the Power and Light District (about 30 miles south). Stretch further to the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve near Strong City (about 110 miles, 2 hours) or aim for the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri (about 220 miles, 3.5 hours). Cross-country travelers can roll west on I-70 toward Colorado. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals, and cross-border trips into Canada depend on the listing, so confirm with your host first.
nps.gov/tapr/index.htmWhat should I budget for fuel on a Lansing, KS RV trip?
Fuel is usually the second-biggest line item after the nightly rate, but Kansas helps your wallet: gas prices around Lansing typically run a few cents below the national average. Plan for roughly 8-10 MPG for a Class A, 10-14 MPG for a Class C, 18-22 MPG for a Class B campervan rental Lansing travelers love, and your tow-vehicle's MPG (minus a few) for travel trailers. A realistic example: a 300-mile round trip from Lansing to Lake Perry and back in a Class C might burn 25-30 gallons. Pro tip: fill up at the Casey's or QuikTrip stations along US-73 before you leave town, since rural Kansas stations on the way west can be 20+ miles apart.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Lansing, KS?
For peak summer weekends and holidays (Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day), book your campground 3 to 6 months ahead, especially at Kansas state parks like Perry, Clinton, and Tuttle Creek where prime electric sites go fast. Off-peak weekdays you can often book a week out and be fine. Kansas State Parks reservations go through the state reservation system, and Corps of Engineers lakes like Clinton and Perry use Recreation.gov. Leavenworth's Riverfront Park requires holiday-weekend reservations in advance with full payment. If everything looks booked, search Hipcamp for private farmland sites around Leavenworth County, or message your RVezy host since many know small local spots that do not show up online.
recreation.gov/What are driving conditions like around Lansing, KS?
Driving an RV around Lansing is genuinely easy compared to most metros. US-73, K-7, and K-5 are well-maintained four-lane corridors with generous shoulders, and I-70 and I-29 are within 20 minutes for longer hauls. Terrain is gently rolling, no mountain passes or sharp grades. The main things to watch for are spring and summer thunderstorms (May-July can bring high winds and occasional tornado warnings), winter ice events from December through February, and tight turns in historic downtown Leavenworth where some streets weren't built for a 30-foot Class C. Check KanDrive.org for live road conditions before you roll. Pro tip: avoid I-70 through downtown Kansas City during weekday rush hours by routing south on K-7 to I-435 instead.
kandrive.gov/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Lansing, KS?
Most established campgrounds near Lansing offer the full package: 30/50-amp electric, water, sewer hookups (or a dump station), hot showers, flush toilets, and potable water fill stations. Riverfront Park and Campground in Leavenworth offers electric pads with a nearby dump station, and Lake Perry's Corps of Engineers parks have electric sites with central dump stations and water fills. Many parks also include picnic tables, fire rings, and Wi-Fi at the office. If you are boondocking or need to dump between trips, large truck stops along I-29 northeast of Lansing typically offer a dump station and fresh water fill that is accessible around the clock.
recreation.gov/camping/gateways/2991What's included inside a typical Lansing, KS RV rental?
Expect a true home on wheels: queen or king beds, a kitchen with fridge and freezer, stovetop, microwave, sink and basic cookware, a bathroom with toilet and shower, dining seating with seatbelts for travel, climate control with roof A/C and furnace, and a TV in most Class A and Class C motorhome rental Lansing listings. Many hosts include a generator (great for boondocking near Tallgrass Prairie), outdoor chairs, a hose, leveling blocks, and a starter kit of toilet paper and sewer supplies. Wi-Fi varies, so most renters tether to their phone or bring a cell booster. Check each listing's amenity list before booking, and message the host to confirm sleeping capacity matches travel-seatbelt capacity since those numbers can differ.
nhtsa.gov/road-safety/seat-beltsWhat add-ons and pickup options can I expect when I rent in Lansing, KS?
Lansing hosts offer some genuinely useful add-ons: linen and kitchen kits ($25-$75), portable generators ($25-$50/night), bike racks, kayak racks, camp chairs and tables, propane fire pits, and pet packages with bowls and a portable fence. Pickup is usually at the host's home in Lansing, Leavenworth, or nearby Basehor, with delivery available for a per-mile fee, often free within 20 miles. Mileage policies range from 100 miles/day to unlimited, and generator hours from 3/day included to unlimited, so compare on each listing. Pro tip: if you're flying into Kansas City International (MCI), several Lansing hosts will deliver and meet you at the airport area or at a nearby campground, saving you from arranging a rideshare with all your gear.
flykci.com/How does payment and the security deposit work for an RV rental in Lansing, KS?
Payment is straightforward and fully handled inside RVezy, so there is no Venmo or cash changing hands with your host. You pay the rental total (nightly rate, service fee, chosen protection plan, any add-ons) by credit or debit card when you book. A separate refundable security deposit is pre-authorized on your card before pickup, typically a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on the rig, and released after the host confirms the RV came back in good shape with the tanks handled per their listing. To avoid any deposit hiccups, take dated photos at pickup and dropoff, follow the fuel and dump-tank policy, and keep all messages with the host inside RVezy.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksIs winter RV rental available in Lansing, KS, and how do I prep for the cold?
Yes, winter rentals are available from select Lansing hosts, and a Kansas winter RV trip can be a quiet adventure with empty state parks and bald eagle viewing along the Missouri River. Look for listings that mention four-season packages, heated and enclosed holding tanks, skirting, and dual-pane windows, then plan to camp at sites with shore power so the furnace and tank heaters can run continuously. Riverfront Park in Leavenworth and several private parks stay open year-round with electric hookups. When temps drop into the teens, use the onboard fresh water tank sparingly and rely on jugs for drinking water. Your host will walk you through their specific winterization setup at pickup.
