Elk City-Clinton KOA

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Right off Interstate 40 on historic Route 66 in Foss, Oklahoma, the Elk City-Clinton KOA functions primarily as a well-organized overnight stop for travelers moving through western Oklahoma. Highway noise is a given here, sitting this close to I-40, and multiple reviewers note it plainly. What the location trades in quiet, it makes up for in convenience: easy highway access, clear signage marking entrances and site numbers, and a staff that several campers describe as consistently friendly and efficient at check-in.

Sites vary noticeably depending on placement. Front sites tend to draw more favorable comments, with paved pull-ins that are nearly level and require minimal adjustment. Sites toward the back get mixed marks. Some spots include shade from established trees, and Tracey S. notes "clean and nice trees to offer shade to some sights." Site size is the most consistent complaint: several campers with larger rigs or slide-outs found the pads cramped. The campground accepts RVs up to 85 feet with full hookups, but tighter site spacing means neighbors are close.

The on-site amenities cover the basics and then some. Full hookups, clean showers and restrooms, laundry, a pool, and a dog park with off-leash space are all available. The store doubles as a bar and restaurant called The Moose Knuckle Tavern, serving pizza, wings, and burgers, though food service ends early and the kitchen is closed on Sundays due to county alcohol regulations. Lake Clinton is within walking distance for campers who want to stretch their legs near water. Foss State Park Campground sits to the north for those looking to extend a stay with more outdoor-oriented camping.

Cell coverage on AT&T is reliable, and the WiFi clocks in around 8 Mbps download, workable for basic use. The campground operates year-round, though the on-site restaurant scales back hours in winter months. Walmart and other services are nearby. Reservations are available and worth making in peak travel season. This campground makes the most sense for RV travelers and road-trippers who need a clean, fully equipped stop along I-40 and aren't planning to stay more than a night or two.

Visitors repeatedly highlighted friendly staff and clean facilities at this convenient I-40 stopover. Highway noise is present but manageable, though some sites can be quite small with limited spacing.

Easy Access of I-40 but very loud traffic noise...

 The KOA was easy to find, easy to check in. The cell signal was good (AT&T) and the wi-fi was acceptable - about 8 MB dl speed and 1 MB upload. I was a ways away from the main building - site #52.

 The restaurant / bar closed at 5 pm but it's February, so there's that. If you are looking for easy access and don't mind traffic noise it's fine. The sites aren't very large but plenty for my Jeep and Pop-up camper. They were nice and level.

 The showers / restroom was very clean. I didn't make use of the laundry facility.

Nice tavern

Very friendly staff made us feel right at home. We enjoyed dinner and drinks at the tavern and it was lovely. Clean bathrooms and laundry room. The pool was also great. The playground can use some updating.

Super small campsites

The campground is easy access off 40 and quick check In.  It has a tavern.  They stop serving food very early.  Pool was not open.  My big complaint is that the sites were super small.  We had a concrete pad and that’s it.  We opened our (small) RV door and we were stepping in the next camp site. No picnic table.    Luckily this was an over nite spot.  I would not recommend for more than 1 night.

Nice for overnight

This is a nice KOA. Right off of 40, so some highway noise as expected. Clean and nice trees to offer shade to some sights. Nice pool, clean bathrooms/showers. Laundry available. Dirt/gravel sites mostly level. Nice grass. Some are pretty close together. Full hook ups. Walmart/shopping nearby. Would absolutely stay here again as an overnight stop.

A fine place to recharge before embarking on your next journey

We stayed here for one night on our way from Raton, NM to Devil’s Den State Park in AR. The campground was well staffed, clean, and signs clearly marking the entrances to the property and sites by number.

We stayed in pull-in site #59, which is paved. The site was perfectly level left to right and we barely dropped our tongue jack to level front to back. There is a laundry, playground, and dog park where the pups can run free off leash.

The coolest part of the campground is the store / office / bar, called “The Moose Knuckle Tavern” (lol). They have pizza, wings, burgers, a salad, and some apps. Call about 30 minutes ahead so you can place your order and not have to wait for your food. Also, plan your stay around not being here on a Sunday. The campground is in one of only 5 counties in Oklahoma that don’t allow alcohol sales on Sundays...lame.

Nice clean campground

Great stop off clean camp and friendly staff. All The amenities to include a little store with a little restaurant and even a bar! Lake Clinton is in walking distance. We stayed for a weekend, but appears to be a stop off for most as it is right off I-40. It is on the historic Route 66. The pool looked nice as well.

Great atmosphere and peaceful

It is close to the highway so you will hear some traffic noise, however, it is a very peaceful spot. We stayed in a cabin with a half kitchen that met our needs perfectly. The bed, however, was so soft that it was hard to sit up or get out of it because you just sank. Great staff, friendly and helpful. Make sure you buy ice before you come as the store is expensive.
