Planning a camping trip? Napawalla Park is a great place to park the camper, pitch a tent, slow down, and enjoy a little time outdoors!

We offer primitive and electric camping, including RV hookups, for up to 14 days. Camping is first come, first served, so there are no reservations—just find an available spot and enjoy your stay!

A few things to know while you're here:

🚿 Showers are available on both the north and south sides of the park.
🚐 A self-pay station is located near the sewer dump.
💧 If you've paid for your campsite, you can use the sewer dump at no additional charge.
📅 Camping is available for up to 14 days.

Want to stay longer? According to City Code, once you reach your 14-day camping limit, you can remove your camper from the park for 5 days and then return for another 14-day stay. If you have questions about our City Code, please contact the City Office at 620-455-2223.

Planning a trip in September? Our Annual Watermelon Feed takes over parts of Napawalla Park around the second weekend of September, and some areas will be closed during the week leading up to the festival. If you're planning to camp with us around that time, give the City Office a call before your visit and we'll be happy to let you know which areas will be available.

Napawalla Park is one of those special places where our community gets to enjoy the outdoors right in our own backyard. Whether you're staying for a night or a couple of weeks, help us keep it beautiful—leave the park as nice as you found it!

We hope to see you around the campground! 🌳🏕️

🚰💦 HYDRANT FLUSHING 💦🚰

Over the next few weeks, the City Crew will be flushing fire hydrants throughout town on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings.

The Crew is currently working on the north side of town and will move to the south side in the next couple of weeks.

💧 What should you expect?
During and shortly after hydrant flushing, you may notice temporary discoloration or a slight brown tint to your water. This is normal and occurs when sediment in the water lines is stirred up during the flushing process.

There may also be a temporary decrease in water pressure or flow while a nearby hydrant is being flushed. Water pressure should return to normal once flushing is complete.

While the discoloration may be unsightly, it does not indicate that the water is unsafe to use. However, you may prefer to avoid using discolored water for cooking, drinking, or laundry until the water has cleared.

If you notice discoloration, simply run your cold water for a few minutes to help clear the line.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as our City Crew completes this important annual maintenance to help keep our water system and fire hydrants functioning properly! 💙
