RV Parks In Anthony, Kansas

For most travelers the top pick is Anthony Lake Campground, the City of Anthony municipal park on the 153-acre lake about a mile northwest of town, with electric and water hookups and a genuinely nice setting for the price. In town, Anthony RV Park offers full hookups, including sewer, and works well as a practical stopover. If you want a larger state-park experience with modern full-hookup loops, Cheney State Park sits about an hour northeast toward Wichita. Between the city lake, the in-town private park, and Cheney, you can match a quick overnight or a longer lake stay.

It depends where you stay. The Anthony Municipal Lake campground offers 30 and 50-amp electric plus water, but no sewer at the sites and no on-site dump, so you will need to plan a tank-dumping stop. For true full hookups including sewer, Anthony RV Park in town is the local option, and Cheney State Park about an hour away has several loops with full electric, water, and sewer. If you rely on 50-amp for air conditioning during a hot, windy Kansas summer, confirm amperage when you book, since availability varies between the open lakeside sites and the private and state-park loops.

This is budget country, which is part of the appeal. The City of Anthony lake campground is inexpensive by RV-park standards, one of the better values in south-central Kansas for a lakeside electric-and-water site, with reservations handled through the city office. Anthony RV Park in town runs a bit higher for its full hookups. Cheney State Park charges a modest per-site fee plus a utility charge for electric and water, and requires a Kansas state-park vehicle permit that runs a few dollars a day or an annual rate. Overall, camping around Anthony is affordable, especially compared with resort-style parks in bigger markets.

Not far, in most cases. The Anthony Municipal Lake campground rarely fills outside of local events, and you reserve by calling the City of Anthony office, though some sites are first come, first served. Anthony RV Park in town is small, so a quick call ahead is smart. The exception is Cheney State Park about an hour northeast: because it draws the Wichita crowd, its summer and holiday weekends book well ahead on ReserveAmerica, so reserve early if that is your target. Midweek and shoulder-season stays at any of these are usually easy to grab close to your travel date.

Fall is our favorite, with comfortable days, good fishing, and quiet, easy-to-grab lakeside sites. Late spring is green and pleasant, but it overlaps Kansas storm season, so watch the forecast for wind and severe weather and know where shelter is. Summer is hot and often windy on the open plains, and while Anthony rarely fills, nearby Cheney draws weekend crowds. Winter is cold and very quiet: the city lake stays accessible but seasonal amenities like the hot showers close, making the full-hookup Anthony RV Park the more comfortable cold-weather choice. Overall, aim for fall or late spring.

Yes, with a little planning. The Anthony Municipal Lake campground has an open, spread-out lakeside layout with many pull-in sites, so larger rigs generally fit, but confirm site length and turning room when you call the city office, and remember there is no sewer. Anthony RV Park in town handles full-hookup rigs as a functional stopover. For the most big-rig-friendly experience with full hookups, Cheney State Park about an hour northeast has modern loops built for larger motorhomes and fifth-wheels. As always, verify length limits and pull-through availability before you commit, especially at the smaller in-town park.

Somewhat. Anthony Municipal Lake includes first-come, first-served sites among its roughly 66 spots, so you can often roll in and find a place outside of busy event weekends, with the city office handling the reservable sites. It is not free, but the fees are low. Genuine free dispersed camping is scarce in this farmed part of south-central Kansas, so do not count on boondocking on public land nearby. If you want a low-cost, walk-up-friendly lakeside spot, the city lake is your best bet, and it beats parking-lot overnighting for both scenery and safety in this small town.

Plan ahead here, because the Anthony Municipal Lake campground does not have an on-site dump station or sewer hookups, despite offering electric and water. For dumping, Anthony RV Park in town has full hookups including sewer, and larger facilities toward Wichita and at Cheney State Park offer dump access. If you are staying at the city lake, empty your tanks before you arrive or plan a stop on your way out. Want the full rundown of tank-dumping options in the area? See our guide to RV dump stations in Anthony for the utility-side details.

The lake is the center of it. Anthony Municipal Lake offers boating, fishing, hiking, a disc golf course, and a dog park, and a rolling nine-hole golf course overlooks the lake and dam. The local gun club has trap, skeet, and rifle ranges for sportsmen. Downtown Anthony, the Harper County seat, has a walkable historic core with local dining. If you want a bigger day out, Wichita is about 55 miles northeast with museums, shopping, and dining, and Cheney Reservoir along the way is popular for sailing and fishing. It is a low-key, outdoorsy base rather than a tourist hotspot, which is exactly the appeal for many RVers.

Yes, and that is the main draw. The Anthony Municipal Lake campground sits right at the 153-acre city lake about a mile northwest of town, so you camp close to the water with easy access for fishing and boating. Sites have electric and water, a concrete walking path runs through the area, and there are showers in the warm season, plus playgrounds, volleyball, and horseshoes. There is no sewer, so plan a dump stop. For a lakeside stay at a genuinely low price, it is hard to beat in this part of Kansas, and the setting with the golf course and dam nearby makes it more scenic than you might expect.

Generally yes. The Anthony Municipal Lake campground even features a dog park and a concrete walking path, so it is a comfortable spot for travelers with dogs, as long as you keep them leashed and clean up. Cheney State Park is pet friendly across its campgrounds as well. As always, keep pets leashed, never leave them unattended in a hot rig during a Kansas summer, and confirm any rules at the private Anthony RV Park before you arrive. The open, grassy layout at the city lake gives dogs room to stretch, which is a nice change from tight, crowded parks in busier markets.

It comes down to hookups versus setting. The Anthony Municipal Lake campground wins on price and scenery, with lakeside electric-and-water sites, a golf course, and disc golf right there, but it has no sewer, so you will manage tanks and plan a dump stop. Anthony RV Park in town wins on convenience with full hookups including sewer, better for longer stays or winter when the lake amenities close. For the fullest experience, Cheney State Park about an hour northeast offers modern full-hookup loops on a big reservoir. Our rule of thumb: short scenic stay, take the lake; longer or cold-weather stay, choose full hookups.

It can be, if you like a quiet base with a short highway hop. Anthony sits on US-160 in south-central Kansas, about 55 miles southwest of Wichita, so you can park the rig at the city lake or Anthony RV Park and day-trip into the city for museums, dining, and shopping without paying urban parking prices. Cheney State Park along the way splits the difference nicely if you want to camp closer to Wichita on a big reservoir. For an RVer who prefers small-town calm and lakeside camping over a busy metro park, Anthony makes a comfortable and affordable base for exploring the region.
