Uhhhh....

I suspect most of my suggestions fall into your definition of dirty and over-crowded, but I'll give it a shot anyways.
My family's staple has always been Lake Kanopolis. As with every single one of my suggestions, if you hit it on an off-week(end) there's hardly anybody there, and I love the hiking trails.
Most recently, I've camped at little Lake Afton a time or two, but I know one of those weekends we managed to hit it when there was a wedding reception on the other side of the lake. They had a good DJ....

But it was not quiet and peaceful.

I suspect if we were there on an off-weekend it wouldn't be so bad.
My favorite growing up was Harvey County West Park, but it has been YEARS since I've been there and I have no idea what it's like now.
The website I'm going to recommend is
TravelKS.com. I'm subscribed to their magazine and they have fantastic suggestions all the time. Of course I don't remember any of them, but I'm sure you could find what you're looking for there.

Let me know if you find something awesome! My youngest is too little to go camping, but maybe in a year or two we'll be ready to take them tent camping again.
