Longview in KS -- Campground & RV Camping

Longview Campground sits on a high, forested ridge overlooking Perry Lake. The facility operates as a group camping destination split into two loops: an upper loop featuring 26 campsites with 30-amp electric hookups and a primitive lower loop with a picnic shelter, vault toilet, and fire pit, with a central shower house located near the gate. The campground borders an 18-hole disc golf course and provides access to the 29-mile Perry Lake loop trail for hikers. The surrounding 12,000-acre lake supports powerboating, sailing, and fishing for crappie, catfish, and walleye.
