What Guests Are Saying

Sylvan Park is a well-maintained campground noted for its large, shaded pull-through sites and peaceful atmosphere. Visitors appreciate the clean facilities, including hot showers and restrooms, as well as the friendly camp hosts. While some trees require hazard limb removal, the park's quiet location below the dam, along with easy access to nearby recreational activities, makes it a favorite among campers.

We found Sylvan Lake RV park to be a great experience. A treed , grassed park, Well spaced RV sites, Lake for boat access. There were nature trails and it was extremely well-maintained. Thumbs up For this one

The Sylvan Park campground at Wilson Lake has become our favorite camping spot in KS! All of the sites have shade, are nice and wide and are far apart. We like the fact that the campground is small, there are only 25-30 slots. Definitely attracts a different (quieter!) type of camper than the campgrounds by the lake. We will definitely be back!

LONG drive thru sites, on gravel, seemed mostly level. Maybe 70 percent are decently shaded.
LOTS of anthills and ants.
Horse flies. They loved me and my chihuahua/terrier.
The grass is only mowed once every two weeks, making for a very sloppy looking Park.
High grass and weeds also attract bugs. There were many, day and night. Always attracted to my flashlight at night, flying in my face, eyes, ears and mouth. Very small burrs in the grass would get caught in my socks and pinch my feet. I had to pull them out of the dogs paws with tweezers twice when they started limping. Some dog owners don't pick up their dogs' doo, never saw camp hosts pick any up either. And every time I walked the dogs, they would come back with fleas and ticks on them. I pulled a half dozen off my legs as well. There were 8 in one night on my chow/shepherd/collie.
Yellow lights in the bathrooms and showers attract hundreds of flying insects. Not an exaggeration. I went to get paper towels out of the dispenser and a wasp flew out. At least 1-2 cockroaches on the walls/floors of each of the 3 bathrooms and 2 separate showers. I have never been to a park/campsite with so many bugs. In 5 months of traveling/camping from IL to FL to TX to KS, I have never seen one cockroach...until Sylvan.
Also no cell phone service...T-mobile...and very limited wifi...1-2 bars.
Sylvan is nothing special. Just a campground where you are right on top of your neighbor with no foliage for privacy. Buggy showers/bathrooms. High grass and weeds. Camp hosts are a nice older couple but they don't do much except check people in.
Boring, buggy, unkempt. I would only stay here again if I had no other option
