Camping near Ozawkie, Kansas
Ozawkie sits on the west shore of Perry Reservoir in Jefferson County, northeast Kansas, roughly between Topeka and Lawrence. The town's biggest draw for RV travelers is Perry State Park, whose Lakeview, Cougar Pass, and Eagle Landing loops line the wooded southwest side of the reservoir. The lake itself is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, while the state park is operated by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks.
Within an hour's drive, campers can pick from a mix of state park, private, and tribal RV options. Deer Creek Valley RV Park LLC offers a private-park alternative closer to town. Lake Shawnee Campground in Topeka and Prairie Band Casino Resort RV Park at Mayetta round out the closer choices, while Campground 3 - Clinton State Park adds a large lake area on the far side of Lawrence.
The setting is rolling upland forest and open shoreline, not open prairie. Expect shaded sites with hardwood cover at the state parks and more open, level pads at the private and casino properties.
Things to do around Ozawkie
Perry Reservoir drives most of the activity. Anglers target channel catfish, crappie, and white bass, and multiple boat ramps and courtesy docks serve the lake. Swim beaches, picnic shelters, and rental cabins support family day-use inside Perry State Park.
On land, Perry State Park has about 15 miles of bike trails and a separate 25-mile equestrian trail system through upland forest, plus a short nature trail. Hunting is allowed in the surrounding wildlife area and in designated park units from mid-September through year-end, so bright clothing is a good idea on trails in the fall.
Day trips are easy. Topeka, about 25 miles southwest, offers Lake Shawnee, the Kansas state capitol, and the Combat Air Museum. Lawrence, to the southeast, adds the University of Kansas campus and the Clinton Lake trail network.

How to book a campsite
Kansas state park sites at Perry State Park and Campground 3 - Clinton State Park are booked through CampItKS.gov or ReserveAmerica, and the CampItKS mobile app mirrors the same inventory. The reservation window for the April through October prime season opens each December at noon Central time, and popular loops at both lakes sell out fast for summer weekends. A separate state park vehicle permit is required on top of the campsite reservation and is not included in the online price.
Deer Creek Valley RV Park LLC and Prairie Band Casino Resort RV Park are private operations booked directly with the property, typically by phone or through their websites. Lake Shawnee Campground is run by Shawnee County Parks and Recreation and has its own online booking portal.
For sold-out dates, cancellation-scanning tools can help catch openings, which are frequent as plans shift.
What to expect on arrival
Perry State Park sites are heavily wooded, with a mix of back-in and pull-through pads, 30-amp and 50-amp electric hookups, and water at most reservable sites. Maximum vehicle lengths vary by loop, and Wild Horse equestrian sites are set up for campers traveling with horses. Check-in and check-out are both at 2:00 p.m.
Cell coverage around Perry Lake is patchy in the wooded coves and stronger closer to the highway corridor. Bring drinking water for backup, keep pets leashed, and expect self-pay stations at park entrances outside office hours. Pets are not allowed inside the cabins at Perry State Park.
Summer brings heat, humidity, ticks, and chiggers. Quiet hours generally run 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., and campers should watch shoreline access during high-water releases from the Corps of Engineers dams.
