Arcadia Lake

A little to tightly spaced and crowded for our taste but convenient for just one night stay.

Great staff, help with hookups and how to use

Edmond Park is one of three separate parks around Arcadia Lake; this one has primitive (no hookups) campsites. This park/campground was the quietest of the three we visited; in fact, we did not see any other campers when we were there on a weekday in early May. Of course, this may not be the case on a weekend in the summer! 

The bathroom facilities are sub-par– dated and not very clean. NO showers.

This campground would be nice for families as the playground was located centrally and is easily accessible from all sites. 

There is also a primitive group camping area. 

There is a swimming beach/day-use area not too far away. 

There are no hookups in any of the sites here and many of the driveways were short so it would be better for tents or small RVs/camper vans.

I've been camping at this lake since I was a kid. We always use primitive campsites when we stay. If you can get a spot near the water, that is the best. You may need to get creative when setting up your site. If there are a lot of other campers around, it can be cramped. The general store is only open from memorial day to labor day but there is a Walmart near the lake.

Get there at the right time which is checkout time. It doesn’t matter if the site is empty check it’s probably paid for. With that said if you manage to get a spot it’s going to be a nice stay. Huge spots close to the water and lots of wildlife it’s hard to believe the city isn’t far away.

Nice easy stop. Friendly staff. cheap Electric and shared water. Flush toilets. No showers

All in all it was great. Shaded spot fire pit, leftover firewood, clean, electricity, and plenty of room. However the red ant hills made it difficult to find a spot for our tent and it was difficult to get a spot in general with their first come first serve rules.

I'm interested in wildlife and camping and feel like this state will be great

They have just about anything you would want. Sites on the water, large shaded sites, pull thrus. Nice playground. Two issues. 1. It’s really hard to get a spot. First come first serve. Not who put things in the site first, but who actually puts money in the box first. This leads to a lot of arguments that I witness almost every time we’re at Arcadia. 2. Community water. Sometimes you need 2 or even 3 hoses to reach the water. Campsite wise,this is some of the best camping anywhere near OKC. Also a ton of deer. See them everyday.

Definitely some of the best camping in the OKC metro! However, getting a site can be difficult. First come, first serve and check out isn’t until 5. Lake has a couple of nice swim beaches also.

This lake and the multiple camping areas around it are really nice. Full rv spots with complete lake view. Tons of shade. The Breeze over the lake has helped me with the humidity of summer. Friendly folks, eager to help. I've stayed there in our tent. Quiet and lots of critters to keep you smiling. I've been visited by lone and small groups of doe, fawns with white freckles. Children play areas with park toys. Day use areas, beach and swimming areas.

King Snake on Arcadia Lake is my go-to site for a quick getaway.  If I have a free weekend and the weather is nice I pack my tent and head out.  The park is large and spread out.  A LOT of Rv's and boats in the main parts of the park but I prefer King Snake for the tent camping.  No rv's, limited traffic, and a short walk to a lightly-used bathroom.  The sites are large enough for 2 large tents.  Tables, hooks, and fire pits in each.  Close enough to the city to get anything you may have forgotten to pack. Also, the eastend of the lake is quiet and calm, away from the boats.

Had Fun

I haven’t stayed here overnight, but I’ve been here plenty during the day. I’ve come here for the beach, hammocks good and even photoshoots! It’s gorgeous when it’s lush and green. Definitely be aware of flash flooding- then again... it is Oklahoma...

It’s an awesome spot not too far outside of town!

We have taken our family to Arcadia many times to camp. While it’s close to the city, it feels far away. Lake activities and hiking are available.

Pretty decent campground. You can swim in the lake of course. It’s also close to civilization which makes it a good first camping trip if you’re new to it.

The city of Edmond has gone out of their way to make a great place for the family to hike or ride your bike. Not far from the town, but it feel and smells like the forest. Birds are in abundance.

Very nice camping spot. Easy to find, clean, spacious sites, lots of trees. We loved it.

Flat sites with beautiful views. Hook up’s too!

Arcadia is close to city life and offers everything you could want in a campground. Plenty of spots for both rvs and primitive campers. Showers are available in certain areas. Handicap accessible. Offers two disc golf courses, horseback riding, hiking trails, beaches, boating, fishing, skiing, swimming, sand volleyball.

The fees are a little high, but the campgrounds are easy to access and have excellent access to the lake.

There is firewood available at the campsite both on the ground and for sale.

Several hiking trails available.

Love being here in the RV! Good for camping, fishing, swimming and kayaking! There is a lot of trash on the bay but that is from careless campers!

Love this place. 2 disc golf courses are located off 15th street. Cost is $7 to enter lake for day use. Courses are short but technical. Bug spray is definitely needed in the summer. Ticks are bad!!

The campground is mowed and trimmed up with picnic tables at each site. He bathhouse is clean. It’s also quiet and close to the city/Edmond.

It was a blast.

We had a blast!

camped over night with questival. Beautiful campground with lots of spots off the lake!

Friendly staff and beautiful space. It’s a short hike to us the facilities.

Part of the questival camping night. Beautiful campground with lots of spots by the lake.
