- The first state park in Kansas, Kanopolis State Park is situated in the rolling hills, bluffs and woods of the scenic Smoky Hills region of the state. We did some primitive camping out at Sandyshore and had the most wonderful time. Our campsite was well shaded, which kept us pretty cool even in the Kansas heat. There's definitely far more to see than what you can see in one weekend. It was nice to be close up to the water. Everyone was extremely friendly at giving us directions and the park rangers were extremely helpful and informative.
