I think it depends on what you want in camping

This place is amazing. It is also very much for the 4 wheeler crowd. The campground spots are close, the bikes are loud but people are friendly. It was surprisingly full when I visited and if it is your thing, I'm guessing you will love it.

Hidden Treasure of Oklahoma

My boyfriend took me here for valentines day, and it blew me away. Most people rent dune buggies or bring their jeeps to enjoy the dunes, but we just camped and roamed the dunes by ourselves. It's such a unique park - you don't get to walk around miles of sandunes every day! The amenities were fine, the stars were amazing, and it was a nice quiet evening. Make sure you go into town for dinner - the German restaurant is the BEST.
