The best camping near Cawker City with fishing

·

In Cawker City, fishing campsites aren’t in short supply—over 830 spots cater specifically to anglers. Most sites sit close to the lake or along banks where you’ll reel in crappie, bass, and catfish. The average night runs $35, but you’ll find options from $25 if you keep an eye out. If you want something different, check out Atlas Ad Astra - Missile Silo (115 reviews)—it’s a decommissioned missile silo where you can fish and camp above blast doors. For more traditional setups, Rusty Nickel Ranch RV (2 reviews) gives you easy access to water and wide-open skies. Most locations offer showers, toilets, and let you bring pets. Hiking trails crisscross the area, and you’ll spot deer, hawks, maybe even a coyote if you’re up at dawn. If you’re here for fishing, get ready—Cawker City won’t disappoint.
