Surprise: Oklahoma has sand dunes. You can rent a buggy, go hiking along them, or go fishing in a small stocked pond. The campground has showers, electric at some sites, flush toilets, and shade pavilions. Sites are close together. It is close to the dunes so if you plan to sleep in you will likely be woken up by sunrise dune buggies. Extensive trail system for hiking and buggies. If you’re used to dunes in Oregon etc. you may be disappointed by the size of this park, but it’s a great change of pace in OK.

There are two camping areas that have the same facilities but slightly different locations. This one is closer to the off-road access to the dunes. It has both RV and tents campsites. If your plans involve the dunes but you can't get a site at Pioneer campground, the Hackberry one is just a tiny bit further away. 


**Dunefield has lots of interesting plants. The main attraction is exploring them by dune buggy or 4 wheeler, which you can rent on-site.**

**Yay: simple campground with hot showers. Note that there are two areas to camp, one for RVs and one for tents, separated.**

**Nay: Since there are so many motorized vehicles on the dunes, walking around them is not very fun (you can rent on site) and they may wake you up early in the morning. When we went about 5 years ago you had to provide your own helmets (bike helmets are ok). Campground is small and the paved (RV) spaces are extremely close together. Make reservations in summer.**

**Surprise: The dunes aren’t very tall compared to ones we’ve been to elsewhere, but riding through them and making little jumps is a lot of fun. Nice stargazing.**

RVs only!! 

Stayed for one night and I only can say good things about this place.  Small Rv campground with 6 spots. The sand dunes are right there and nice to go for a small hike if you don’t want to ORV with your 4 wheeler.  Self pay 20$ and good for the night.  Water and electricity but no dumping station.  Away from the main road enough so it gets quiet after dark 

 Nice overnight state park even if you’re not driving the dunes

Park ranger drives around during the day, not crowded 

Nice and Clean

This place is windy! I pulled in late at night after a full day of driving from the west. There's not a lot of easy to find camping in this part of Oklahoma besides RV parks.

  

There were plenty of spots available, it was a little confusing figuring out which entrance to use, there are several within one block of each other. I ended up driving onto a golf course accidentally!

  

You have to pay at the entrance, there is a drop box. I think it was about $10 or $12 when I visited.

  

The biggest issue was the wind. I have a rooftop tent, and the wind was blowing approximately 30 to 40 mph gusts the night I was there. After about 15 minutes, I was afraid the tent would collapse on me. I actually ended up sleeping in the driver's seat of my van instead.

  

If the wind wasn't so crazy, it seems like it would be a pretty decent place to stay. There's a couple of nice ponds that look like good fishing.

  

If you're driving through Oklahoma and need a place to stop for the night, it should work for you, but just check the weather first. If the wind is bad, I don't recommend tent camping or rooftop tents at all at this site.

Windy!

Came here to fish and saw the campground and decided to stay.

Hackberry sites are concrete pads and level. Spaced close together, but there are only 5 or 6 spots. 

There is another campground for the park on the south end of the lake, right on the dunes for off roading.

This used to be a state park, but around 2011 the state closed it and the city took over. 

Town is only a couple of miles south and while not big, it has a gas station, market, cafe, and a Pizza Hut.
