Horse Thief Campground is a small, primitive camping spot. Pitch your tent near Lake Scott, a surprising oasis in western Kansas. The lake is popular with anglers, boaters, swimmers, hikers, and history buffs! Canoes and paddleboats are available to rent here. How convenient! Historians-in-training won’t want to miss El Cuartelego – Native American pueblo ruins, or the Steele Home Museum, a residential home built at the turn of the 20th century made of local sandstone. You can keep it primitive, or head over to the modern showers. Your choice!
