Interactive Campus Map
We provide basic driving and parking directions below, but we also like to point campers to the official KSU map application. It is a large, detailed map with many useful features on the Official K-State website. We encourage everyone to refer to this map to help familiarize themselves with the KSU campus.
Where to Park
Guests do run the risk of getting tickets on campus. In athletics lots, you will not be ticketed during our camps. If you plan to park anywhere else on campus, we advise you to acquire a daily parking pass for $4.00 from parking services, etc. Parking services is located at the parking garage in front of the KSU Student Union. Their phone number is (785) 532-7275.
