We all need some time away every once in a while: life can get so draining and stressful! Luckily, there’s no shortage of escapes in the Sunflower State, especially if you love camping in Kansas. There’s no better way to enjoy reconnecting with nature. While some love the jovial atmosphere of bustling family campgrounds where there’s always something going on, it’s understandable that many of us prefer our time spent camping to be tranquil and in the company of those we choose to bring along with us (and maybe some neighboring wildlife that happens to be spotted). If you’re on the hunt for a remote campground in Kansas, Cross Timbers State Park is a wonderful option. Tucked away in Toronto, KS, it’s only about two and a half hours southwest of Kansas City, but it feels like a lifetime apart from the hustle and bustle of city life. Check it out:

Cross Timbers State Park is a lovely park spanning more than 1,075 acres. It's directly adjacent to the 4,600-acre Toronto Wildlife Area, so it feels incredibly remote and natural.

The park has access to the Verdigris River, giving anglers the chance to catch crappie, bass, catfish, and others.

Of course, the water is also perfect for kayaking or simply enjoying time out in the sun, too.
