Whitehall Bay Campground is located on the shores of Fall River Lake in Greenwood County, Kansas. Opportunities for outdoor family fun and recreation include swimming, boating, water skiing, camping, picnicking and sightseeing.
For birdwatchers and nature lovers, there is an 8,000 acre Fall River wildlife area, where prairie chickens, waterfowl, rabbits, wild turkeys, white tail deer, doves and quail are commonly seen. Over 400 species of birds are protected in this area.
Hiking and biking opportunities near Fredonia Bay include the 1.5-mile Casner Creek Trail, which meanders through the forest, opening onto a breathtaking display of wildflowers during spring and summer months, or the 1-mile Turkey Run Trail, which leads visitors through a wooded ravine, over a stream and into a tall grass prairie with an impressive view of the lake.
This campground contains four group sites with electric hookups, and 20 family sites with electric. Additional amenities include flush toilets, drinking water, showers, a playground, beach, boat ramp and a dump station.
Rolling prairies and tree-dotted valleys sheltered by limestone-capped ridges surround Fall Lake, which stretches up the picturesque Fall River for 15 miles. This scenic area has a wealth of native wildlife and vegetation.
Fall River State Park is nearby, offering great hiking, fishing and birding along the river. Canoeing is also a popular activity in the park.

Really wish the long potholed road into the campground could be repaired. Too narrow for 2 RVs to pass each other. No shoulder to pull off. Otherwise, we love the seclusion, the water the constant breeze view, the dark skies for star gazing and very kind and friendly camp hosts. The kiddos would probably enjoy and up graded play ground area and the swim beach is not inviting. Bring EVERYTHING you need since the location is way out there. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Beautiful view. Very quiet. No problem for our 40’ fifth wheel. Well maintained.
Campgrounds are great. Boat launching area needs dredged. Partially submerged logs in the lake need to be removed as they are hazardous to boating and skiing. The roads used to get to Whitehall Bay need repaired. Lighting needs improved .
