Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

This beautiful property overlooks the stunning Melvern Lake. The property has a preserved natural view with no buildings in or homes within sight. The camping spot includes a fire pit, mowed area and is 200 yards off the access road and only 2 miles from the blacktop road. The view from the campsite overlooking the lake is breathe taking.Pop your tent or park your pull-behind at this scenic overview. There is a flat mowed area to camp in. There is tons of wildlife to witness, a short walk to the lake edge, and thousands of acres of public land surrounding the property to explore. Anchor your boat in the cove and camp with a view. The marina swimming beach and boat ramp are a 5 minute drive. And the property is only 5 miles from Hwy 75 and 10 from Interstate 35.

Arrowhead point campsite

Wonderful, secluded spit, with an awesome view of Melvern Lake!! We added an extra night to our stay. Already wishing we were back in Kansas.

Gorgeous view!!

What a beautiful view, from one of my favorite places in Kansas!! This was the perfect location for our Melvern Lake adventure. Plenty of privacy for van camping and for our dog to run. We're not big on crowded campgrounds. The weather was a challenge and got pretty hairy most of our trip. Which was a huge bummer, but we were still able to make the most of it. Joshua saved the day when my 2x2 van got stuck in the field, right before a huge storm hit. We will forever be grateful for him braving the weather and getting us out of a bind!! Praying for better weather next season when we return. Would love to stay here again!! We were sad to leave :(.

Nice place

Nice spot to camp. 😀 Easy to find and host was accommodating- allowing us to check in early so we could enjoy our day before the rainy weather the next day! We enjoyed the solitude and hiking down to the lake and along the shoreline.
