About
Historic Lake Scott State Park is a Kansas State Park with 158 campsites available for camping.
Fees
Kansas State Parks charge camping fees under a flat statewide fee schedule, not park-specific nightly rates: a Daily Camping Permit ($10.00/night, $4.00 youth) plus a Utility Fee by hookup count ($9.00 one utility / $11.00 two / $12.00 three, per night), plus a separate State Park Vehicle Permit required for park entry whether camping or not ($5.00/day or $25.00/year; $3.25/$13.75 senior/disabled), plus a one-time $2.75 processing fee per stay. A basic water/electric RV site runs about $21/night in camping fees ($10 + $11) before the vehicle permit. Prime-site sites add $2.00/night; designated overflow camping is $6.50/night.
