This beautiful property overlooks the stunning Melvern Lake. The property has a preserved natural view with no buildings in or homes within sight. The camping spot includes a fire pit, mowed area and is 200 yards off the access road and only 2 miles from the blacktop road. The view from the campsite overlooking the lake is breathe taking.

This was a nice solitary campsite out on the plains of Kansas adjacent to state land and a lake. A busy BNSF line is a mile or so to the south but it is far enough away to not be a bother. To get to the lake, I would hike down the hill straight west to southwest, there is a lot less thicket that way than if you go to the north. Once you get past the thicket there is a big hayfield making access to the lake easy. The path to the campsite is quite level so access shouldn't be a problem unless it just rained 2 inches.

Beautiful, peaceful Kansas. Nice private site with a great view of a lake and wild land all around. It was a perfect spot to rest while traveling.

A beautiful, secluded spot with stunning sunset and night sky views. If you want some peace and quiet, this is the place for you! We enjoyed a relaxing weekend and would love to stay here again soon.

Beautiful and secluded spot on the prairie! A bit hard to find the first go around, but Host was quick to offer directions. Simple but effective!

Lovely space. I didn’t have the opportunity to make my way to the lake but it was a peaceful stay. Josh left some firewood at the fire for me well. Very nice!
