Resort life
Park once. Spend the day outside.
At Thunderbird the campground, the beach and the largest marina on Milford Lake share one gated property. Swim in the morning, fuel the boat at noon, and walk back to your site without getting in the truck.

The waterfront
Sand, shade and two ways in
The shoreline is the heart of the resort. Here is what waits at the water's edge.
Gather
Waterfront gazebo
A new gazebo right at the shoreline, with picnic tables under a solid roof. The best seat for lunch with a lake view.
Launch
Two boat ramps
Two accessible ramps, including the North Boat Ramp with trailer parking, plus a courtesy dock for loading up.
A landmark on the grounds
The Barn
A historic barn built of native Kansas limestone under a wood-shingle roof, now covered seating for the whole resort. Nobody builds like this anymore, and it gives Thunderbird a character all its own.
Barn seating
Out of the sun and out of the rain, with room for the family reunion.
Shelter seating
A stone-walled shelter adds another shaded place to gather.
For the kids
The playground they will talk about all winter
An updated play area with room to run, a few steps from the campsites.
Everyday comforts
The practical things, handled
Laundry room
Wash a week of lake towels without leaving the resort.
Shower houses & restrooms
Shower houses and restrooms are marked on the resort map, so they are easy to find from any loop.
Gated entry
A secured, gated community. Get your gate code from the office before you arrive.
Leashed pets welcome
Bring the dog. Keep pets on a leash and pick up after them.
Two boat ramps
Two accessible ramps, so launch day starts a short drive from your site.
Marina store
On the water between the docks. Hours vary with the season.
Little traditions
The moments people come back for
The 4th of July golf-cart parade
Decorated golf carts rolling through the loops is a Fourth of July tradition guests have enjoyed at Thunderbird. Call the office to ask what is planned this summer.
02
Feeding the carp at the marina
Toss a handful off the dock and watch the water boil. Small kids love it; so do the grown-ups.
Sunset from the Overlook
The Overlook is the resort's viewpoint over the water. Walk out after dinner and watch the evening settle over Milford Lake.
