Camping

Seven campgrounds are conveniently located around Clinton Lake. The Corps of Engineers manages five of these campgrounds, Cedar, Walnut and Hickory in the Bloomington East Park, Rockhaven Park and Woodridge Park. The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks manages two within the Clinton State Park, Campground #1 and Campground #3.

User fees are charged for camping in parks that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operates, with the exception of Woodridge. The amount of the fee is based on the type of facilities provided.

Campgrounds contain level campsites, many with electrical hookups, some with electrical and water hookups, lantern hanging posts, picnic tables, and fire rings or above ground grills. Shower buildings, sanitary dump stations and playgrounds are located in the more developed parks.

Entrance stations or park attendant booths are located at the more developed park areas. Park Rangers and Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputies routinely patrol all campgrounds.
