El Reno West KOA

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Sitting directly off I-40 exit 108, El Reno West KOA gives travelers a fast-access overnight stop with full hookups, paved roads, and a fenced dog park. Rates run $38 to $42 per night, reservations are available, and the campground stays open year-round. Site quality varies considerably depending on where you land, and that single variable shapes most camper experiences here.

The front section of the park, where the full hookup pull-throughs sit, draws consistent criticism. Sites are tightly packed, some lack picnic tables or fire rings, and the proximity to neighboring rigs can mean walking out your door into someone else's sewer connection. The back section is a different story. As Brittany J. notes, "there's some really nice shaded electric/water sites for RVs and tent sites" toward the rear of the property. Campers with smaller rigs or tents should request those spots specifically.

Noise is worth factoring into your plans. Highway traffic from I-40 carries into the campground, and at least one reviewer reports dogs barking through the night from a private residence at the park's rear. That said, the facilities themselves are consistently clean across reviews. Two shower houses, a laundry room with roughly six washers and six dryers (cash only, about $2 per load), and a small camp store round out the on-site services. There is also a fishing pond on the property, tucked behind the cabins and easy to miss. Brittany J. mentions the "pond has great crappie fishing," though the trails down to the water run steep in places. A pool, playground, and jumping pillow add options for families.

Adjacent to the campground entrance sits the Cherokee Trading Post and restaurant, which serves food including buffalo burgers. The campground does not sell firewood on site. Campers who want to explore beyond the highway corridor can look into places to camp around Hinton or check nearby options like El Reno West KOA Journey and Cheyenne and Arapaho Travel Center — Calumet for different setups in the area.

Book a shaded site in the back section and this stop earns its place on a cross-country itinerary.

Many visitors reported excellent family amenities and clean facilities with friendly staff. However, several guests noted concerns about extremely tight site spacing and significant noise from highway traffic and dogs, making it better suited for overnight stops.

Clean KOA but very noisy! Dogs and Traffic

This was a one night stop while on the road. The KOA is very clean but it is very noisy. There is a wooded area at the back of the park that contains a private residence. Large dogs barked all night. A permanent tenant at the rear of the park also runs his dog before 8am. Not as bad but this dog barks also. Traffic is also louder than usual. Will not be back here!

Easy access- ridiculously close to neighbors

We were in Site# 66. We had Full hook- up with a paved pull-through.
We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep.

The site was easy to level. Our site was not shaded with limited trees. In eight years of RV-ing, we’ve never had such little space between us and our neighbors. We literally walk out our door into their sewer. (See pictures) My husband can touch both RVs with his arms outstretched.

The lot did not come with a concrete patio, picnic table, or a fire ring. Some lots had a picnic table. We did not request one since we’d be eating at our neighbor’s sewer.

It is an easy access to the campground from highway -(right off the highway).

There is free WiFi. They offer Cable TV and there are many local channels).

They do not sell wood here.

They do not provide garbage service at your site but there are many barrel drum trash cans that can be accessed.

You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. They do not provide golf cart rentals. There is really not a need to have a Golf cart because it is a smaller campground.

They do have a Swimming pool (not heated & freezing). They have a fishing Lake on property (it is hidden behind some cabins so you could stay here & never know the lake is here). There are two Buffalo that are owned by the owners of the restaurant and trading post above the KOA (who also own the KOA).

There is a Playground and jumping pad for kids. They have a basic general store.

There is not a snack bar/restaurant on site but there is a restaurant at the top of the hill.

The streets are paved and good for riding bikes. There is not really anywhere to ride bikes outside of campground.

This is a RV park but also have many cabins for rent and tent areas.

They have 2 shower houses. The shower house has the typical stalls. These are kept very clean.

There is a laundry facility. It is a cash only facility. You’ll need to get change in the main office while they are open (no change machine). There are approximately 6 washers and 6 dryers. It is approximately $2 to wash and $2 to dry a load.

They have a fenced in dog park.

Bugs were an issue and bug spray was definitely needed.

There were no trails to hike in the campground.

We’ve noticed that the casinos nearby mainly offer slot machines only (very few have live tables (craps, roulette, blackjack,etc.).

Convenient to Interstate

We stayed overnight in a pull through site.  The sites were very close together.  Couldn't really sit out because we were too close to our neighbor's sewer line!  If you stay here try to stay in the tree section.

Long weekend with some of the grandkids

This campground is only about an hour and a half from our homes and we have been coming here off and on the last 40 years. The improvements that have been made to this facility over the year or I'm simply amazing. The staff was friendly courteous and helpful ways bath house and showers were clean up-to-date and conveniently located swimming pool and playground area organized and safely running.

Pretty lake, great playground, paved roads, Buffalo!

This was a great KOA. Paved roads were great for bike riding, beautiful lake along the back side of the grounds, nice large dog run, clean and plenty of machines in the laundry area, super cool playground with outdoor workout equipment too.

Sites are VERY close together in the larger rig area up front but we’re some nice wooded smaller sites toward the back. And pull through sites were super easy to get into. Plus the kids got a big kick out of the two Buffalo on the grounds!

Literally a cramped expensive parking lot

Asked for largest pull through with easy access for a 44’ 5th wheel and got a spot in front of office with a electric pole on the corner. No way to pull in with out using 2 spots and several point turn. The trailer hung over both ends of spot without the truck attached. And yes it is a paved parking lot, place to spend night but should have stopped in a rest area on 40

All the Comforts

We stayed here over July 4th holiday to be closer to grand kids. This park is very nice if you make sure you are in the shaded areas. It was very busy and we had trouble finding a spot to fish with a 6 year old. The trails to the lake were pretty steep and intimidating. Some of the older kids had no trouble at all though. The park staff were great to visit with and very helpful. The bath house, pool and little store were all nice and a very good restaurant and gift shop next door.

Love this place!

Pool, pedal carts, jumping pillow, and a playground for the kids! Super friendly staff. If you need full hook ups, those are basically a parking lot. However, there’s some really nice shaded electric/water sites for RVs and tent sites. The bathrooms are super nice and clean. Pond has great crappie fishing too! It’s way less crowded than the state parks, and it’s nice place to spend a weekend away. They have little cabins that have beautiful, shaded outside areas (fire pits, porch swings, etc) and they’re cheap to rent. We’re not typically “KOA” type campers, but we really enjoy this place.

Campground with Trail of Tears History

We were looking for a campground on our trip out west, and we found this one. It drew our attention because of the long wall with a beautiful mural, because there was a billboard showing a bouncing balloon, and that it is a KOA. That was a few years ago, and I am finally getting around to reviewing it. When we first got to the campground, we went over to the Cherokee Trading Post, and we decided to get buffalo burgers(our first). Then we explored what the campground and adjacent area had to offer. We were fascinated by the long mural, the teepee, and the bison in the pen. While we were selecting our campsite, my older son asked if he could jump on the bouncing balloon out front, and the person at the desk said yes. The next thing I know, I heard a loud,"boom!” I guess the balloon had gotten old and deteriorated, and it was time for it to go. According to their website, the campground apparently has replaced it. Back at the campground, the site was grassy and shady. There are squirrels that are not so afraid of people. My older son even fed one. That may or may not be a problem for future campers. Overall, it’s not so bad for an overnight stay, but if I were staying longer, I would be more concerned about the traffic noise from the highway.

Good for stop off stay

This KOA is directly off I-40 exit 108. It is a decent quick over night if you are passing through. If possible I recommend the spots in back. The full hook up spots up front are literally a parking lot. The spots are so close you are almost touching the RVs beside you. All facilities are clean. Staff is friendly. The pool is nice and there is a small lake for fishing. There is a tourist trap in front call The Cherokee Trading Post. There is all a Cherokee Restaurant. Good food. And there is also a nice convenience store.
