"Tucked down in southwest Oklahoma in the Wichita Mountains, it’s a small park but has LOTS of options."

"This RV park is right off the main thoroughfare, next to the local Walmart. There is even a path to the Walmart parking lot at the edge of the park."
TravelerConvenient, inexpensive ($12) and well kept. What more can you ask for? How about a playground, pool and miniature golf? We just stopped for an overnight, so didn’t use these amenities, but they;re right there. We called for a reservation and were told its first-come, first-served “but there’s always room”. we were one of three campers on a friday night in August.
TravelerPlentiful campsites with several spots right on the lake! Fairly close rather and no way to book ahead but we definitely enjoyed the location!!
RangerWell maintained. Safe.
ScoutGreat little quiet campground near the highway. Close enough to walk to Walmart. Bathrooms are cute and clean.
TravelerQuiet spot, right on the lake. As mentioned, approx 8 RV sites, plus handful of tent sites. Held back a star because, for whatever reason, they lock the restrooms from 7p-7a.
GuideGreat for a night or two. $12.00 a night with water and electric.
GuideThe road in starts as a paved/dirt road. Turn left before the primitive camping sign and follow the dirt road to the lake. The road is very rough, but we managed in our VW Atlas. Beautiful view of the mountain and lake. Very quiet and peaceful, and no other visitors.
TravelerWe had an awesome tent site, no 17. Not far from the boat ramp or restrooms
Gar were spawning while we were there, which was entertaining. Geese abound. We saw several geese with their babies in the water and right nest to our site.
Snakes gliding thru the water. Woke up 1 morning to a dead snake right in front of my chair.
Fireflies!
Peaceful, green, perfect
TravelerWe spent a night here and it was beautiful. I loved the challenge to get to the spot. Coordinates will get you close to your turn but you have to watch for the sigh (first pic), from there just use your Maps to navigate which route you want to take. Roads have deep rust but worth it when you find the perfect spot. Water side location. No fire ring but wasn't needed. Area was clean and flat.
