This campground is a childhood favorite and has continued improving over many years. I do wish they had more site sewage but not a big deal. The staff is great and even brought our passes to us at our site…caught a Blue Gill off the dock with a nice fat worm! Since then another Blue Gill and a Small Mouth Bass have been shared with me by the Lake. I returned all of them to the Lake. Fifty years of memories at this jewel of Topeka, Kansas. Learned to water ski here, did Winter camping even in a foot of snow, and many other great times!

We broke down on the side of I-70 and were very thankful that Lake Shawnee Campground had an opening for our RV to be towed to while our truck was repaired. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice park, nice campground.

The updates to Lake Shawnee Campground are amazing. The new stalls are so roomy and it's great having sewer hookups available. We really look forward to seeing the new cabins they are building.

Wonderful RV park! Level concrete lots, beautiful lake and lots of space to let your pets run around on a leash. It is very clean and it’s gated so it’s very safe.

It was a great location. Unfortunately the only sites available were not full hookups. So, that was an experience. The showerhouse could use some updating. Some of the other campers were a bit sus. One had vehicles coming and going all hours of the night looked like drug activity. My truck alarm was set off a few times from someone trying to get in the bed.
