What could be more fun than a family campout? Whether you are an experienced camper or just looking for an activity to share with your family and friends, this is your opportunity to sleep under the stars in the safety of one of the most beautiful and spacious parks in Johnson County.
Great American Campout Benefits
In addition to spending a night under the stars in Shawnee Mission Park, our lucky campers will receive passes for a Pedal Boat Rental, admission to the Beach, and tickets to a great on-stage production of The Little Mermaid at The Theatre in the Park. And as a special bonus, you will receive early admittance to the show.
You may register by phone, walk in, or complete the Great American Campout registration form and fax or mail in (see below).
