How to get to Clinton State Park
The park sits about 10 miles west of downtown Lawrence via Clinton Parkway and Highway 40, roughly a 45-minute drive from Topeka and about an hour from the Kansas City metro. Kansas City International Airport (MCI) is the closest major fly-and-rent option, approximately 75 miles to the northeast. Access roads are paved and generally RV-friendly with no mountain passes or tunnels, though the final approach includes some gentle hills and a few tight curves near the campground loops. Drivers of larger rigs should watch for low-clearance entrance signs at individual loops and avoid shortcutting through narrow park service roads.
