New listing
Rock Creek Campground is situated on the south end of Perry Lake in the lush Kansas forest. Park entrance gates are closed from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights and for the entirety of holiday weekends. An exit lane is provided with one-way traffic only; no late entrance is allowed, and only park staff or emergency personnel are permitted through the gate after 10 p.m. Perry Lake has a reputation for being one of the best sailing lakes in the region, but boaters of all types will enjoy the many opportunities offered here, whether sailing, power boating or canoeing. Fishing is excellent, with white crappie, flathead catfish, walleye, white bass, channel catfish and sauger in abundance throughout the lake. The area also has approximately 27,000 acres of public land dedicated to wildlife management, where turkey, deer, quail, pheasant, rabbit, squirrel, duck and geese are all found. A scenic road follows the shoreline along the length of the campground, offering sweeping views of the lake. Rock Creek offers 80 spacious campsites. Primitive camping is offered at A-loop in Peninsula, Big Rock, and the walk-in only Edwardsville Loop. A large reservable group picnic shelter and playground make the area ideal for large parties or family functions. Perry Lake Dam was completed in 1969 to help with flood control for the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. Today the lake boasts 159 miles of shoreline and 12,000 surface acres of water, earning it the nickname "paradise on the plains." The campground is surrounded by the lake on one side and a dense canopy of forest on the other, making it ideal for those wishing to enjoy the best of both environments. For hikers, the nearby 29-mile Perry Lake loop trail offers a range of terrain and difficulty, from easy, gentle slopes in the south to rugged, varying elevation changes in the north. Perry Lake is a short drive from Lawrence, Topeka and Kansas City, each offering their own array of unique shopping, dining and attractions.
