About this campground
Overview Sandy Park Campground is located just below the Kaw Lake Dam. This campground is rural, quiet, wooded, and provides both sunny and shaded sites.

The Eagle View Hiking Trail is approximately 12 miles long and runs between Osage Cove and Burbank Landing. The Five Fingers Equestrian Trail extends from Burbank Landing to the Sarge Creek Cove Public Use Area. Hunters' skills are tested with excellent populations of whitetail deer, turkey, quail, rabbit and squirrel.
