Dog-friendly camping in Kansas guide

Overview

If you're taking your pet to Kansas, you are likely to find welcoming accommodations. Imagine creekside RV sites and tent camping, cabins that look out on wide-open prairies, and glamping tents with fire pits and views of the dark night skies. Pet-friendly sites offer plenty of room to roam. You may even spot an Instagram-ready sunflower field—after all, this is the Sunflower State. Many campsites and cabins are dog-friendly and cat-friendly, though some request a heads up, especially if you're camping on a family farm or with Hosts or other travelers onsite. Kansas offers pet-friendly camping options near the cities of Wichita, Topeka, Lawrence, and Kansas City—or you can stay in the scenic surroundings of the Flint Hills or locales near Kansas state parks. Explore the expanses of the Cimarron National Grassland, the outdoor recreation at El Dorado Lake State Park, or the history of Scott State Park—all with your pet in tow.
