What permits do I need to camp in a Kansas state park?

Hello!! I have reserved a cabin in Clinton state park in Kansas, but Iâm not sure what permits I need. Iâve read in different places about a Vehicle permit but am unsure if that only applies to things like RVs and campers? Iâve also seen a permit to stay overnight but Iâm unsure if that is only for tent camping or if it also applies to the cabins. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Answer
Based upon the fees page for that site (see source below), you're going to need to pay a vehicle fee. You can either get daily permits for that, or an annual permit. Should be able to handle that at the park entrance.

As for the camping fee - to me, it looks like the cabin rental includes Overnight usage, and the fee is included. But, your best bet is to call them - the page you linked to has the number. Even if you do have to pay it, look at the page - it's just an additional $7 or $8. Not a lot compared to the cabin rental. Even if you don't call them up, the ranger at the gate should be able to clear it up for you.

Are there any states we can camp at highway rest areas in US?

Last year we took a road trip from NY state to Utah and found that one can camp in rest areas in Kansas off the highway for free. RVs and tents allowed. Is this allowed in any other state? Thanks.

Answer
No For the most part, over nights in a rest area aren't allowed. Safety issues are a priority, you never know who's lurking there just looking for someone to rob or worse. Yes, I've seen big RV's sit there for a while but they have locking doors. A tent doesn't offer much protection.
