Winfield City Lake

12 Reviews Add Review

Winfield City Lake operates as a municipal campground that wraps around a small lake used for fishing and water sports. The facility provides multiple camping options, from full hookup RV sites to electric-only spots scattered around the shoreline. Campers can access sites by driving, walking, or even boating in.

The atmosphere varies significantly by location and timing. JCH found it to be a "very nice woodsy campground" with clean bathrooms close to the sites. However, weekend and holiday crowds can change the dynamic considerably. Some areas experience heavy partying, particularly on busy weekends, while quieter spots exist on different sections of the lake.

The lake supports boating activities including skiing and tubing, though its compact size limits larger watercraft. Anglers can fish from shore or boat, and the campground office sells ice and minnows for convenience. A store operates down the road from the camping area. Sites with shade are available, though RV hookup locations don't always provide the best lake access.

Road conditions present ongoing challenges, with dirt surfaces that can become problematic during wet weather. The facility requires advance reservations, and enforcement of quiet hours varies. "May need to relocate to the other side of the lake" to avoid party areas, suggests Michelle S., highlighting how site selection affects the experience. Bathroom cleanliness fluctuates depending on maintenance schedules.

For additional overnight options, campers can explore campgrounds around Winfield. This municipal facility works best for lake-focused campers who can secure reservations and choose their sites strategically based on desired noise levels.

Nice trip

Very nice woodsy campground. You must reserve in advance. We were able to fit in more trailers than the reservation said. Fairly clean bathrooms that are very close to this site.

Ok but noisy at night

We must have camped at part central. Mud lake. Noisy.. crowded. Showers were closed and turned off and the bathrooms were dirty. No longer a favorite place to stay because of the partying. May need to relocate to the other side of the lake.

Nice little lake

It’s a small lake but big enough to go fishing and do your boating fun on like skiing , tubing and etc. There is camping around the lake with RV hookups in spots around the lake. A few full hookups, water & electric hookups and many just electric spots.

Nice little lake, lake rules not enforced

This lake is nice but small. The camping is OK, however, the city of Winfield never enforces quite hours or patrols the area. If you get unlucky enough to be near a party you will listen to it all night.

Not the best rv sites

This lake tends to get a little rowdy on the holidays/weekends. The rv sites are not in the best location in regards to the water, so we prefer to camp non electrical here

Well maintained but needs more full hookups and more nice showers.

Good place to stay some spots have shade. There is a convenient store down the road and the office does sell a few things like ice and minnows. Need better roads way to much dirt and only one bath house that we would use and it needed to be cleaned.
