The best camping near Bushton with fishing

·

Bushton packs a punch for anglers looking to camp, with over 780 fishing-friendly sites scattered across the area. You’ll find everything from pondside clearings to tucked-back spots near quiet streams, all with the basics covered—think toilets, showers, and fire rings for those long evenings swapping stories. Most sites average $35 a night, with some dipping as low as $35 if you’re after a budget-friendly stay. Fishing isn’t the only draw—hiking and swimming are easy options when you want to switch things up. Local favorite Atlas Ad Astra - Missile Silo (115 reviews) stands out for its oddball Cold War history and easy access to water. This is Kansas camping with plenty of fish to chase and no shortage of spots to cast your line.

A great spot and a great host. Probably the most unique spot we’ve camped with our van. Matthew is great with communications, his tours, and is very accommodating. What he has and is creating here is very impressive.

Amazing. Matt was the bomb. So smart, so intelligent, so motivated about his project— his vision and the work he has done is a miricle. The tour is a must. Treat yourself and stay here. After the tour and as campers settled in Matt build a huge fire pit fire. He joined the campers for fabulous conversation and more info about his project.

Matthew and his dog Dozer were very welcoming to us. He gave us a tour of the campsite and the place was amazing! He keeps up the property and is refurbishing the military structures. He built a fire and created a way for us to meet our neighbors. Best camping ever!

Beautiful land with jaw-dropping view of the night sky. And, as a child in the 80s, experiencing a symbol of war being transformed into a site of beauty was heartening. Matthew was communicative and helpful in getting me and my old puppy settled into a safe space. In addition to the silo tour, there are trails on the land and even a few baby bunnies.

I had quite an experience on Matthew's land. It is a beautiful grassy area for the tent, which I got pitched even though the wind kept trying to take it. During the night about 1am the tent almost came in on me. I decided that me and the dogs should finish the night in the car. In the morning the tent was down. We still enjoyed our time there. The tour was awesome. Matthew is so knowledgeable, it was neat listening to him. He is passion about alternative energy and living off the grid. I would go back and stay again, maybe setting the tent in a different spot where the wind would not affect it as much. All in all I had a great time and the dogs really liked not being on a lease.

Beautiful property just off I-70 that has a gracious, attentive host. The Silo tour was excellent and Matthew's passion about the project is evident through out. Great history lesson along with new technology breakthroughs in self sustainable systems. We camped for one night and Matthew set us up with a very private spot with a beautiful view of the rolling hills. There are mowed paths all across the property which made for a nice sunset walk. Matthew set up a community fire and we met several other travelers and exchanged stories. The stars were amazing. So happy I found this place for a stop on our trip. I would think anyone looking for something out of the ordinary, this is the place.
