Lake Stanley Draper
Lake Stanley Draper, near Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, is a straightforward spot for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle without too much fuss. It’s a no-frills campground where you can pitch a tent or park your RV, but don’t expect a lot of modern amenities—this place is all about getting back to basics.
Visitors often mention the peaceful vibe, especially after the summer rush. The campground is pretty primitive, with just a couple of porta-potties and no running water or electric hookups. If you’re up for it, you can bring your own fire setup and enjoy a cozy evening under the stars. One camper shared, “I love the peace and tranquility feeling,” which sums up the atmosphere nicely.
For those who enjoy a bit of adventure, the area around the lake offers a 14-mile paved trail perfect for biking, jogging, or just taking a leisurely stroll. Kayaking is a popular activity here, especially in the early morning when the lake is calm and quiet. While the fishing might not always be fruitful, the experience of being out on the water is what many come for.
If you’re looking for a quick day trip or a simple camping experience, Lake Stanley Draper is a solid choice. Just remember to grab a permit from the marina office before you head out, and be prepared for a more rustic experience.
