    Arcadia Lake

    Good for newbies, popular for all

    There are three main campground parks around the lake. Spring Creek and Scissortail Parks are off 15th. Central Park is off the 2nd Street entrance.

    Spring Creek and Scissortail were both full, so we ended up at the Spring Creek Park.

    In Spring Creek, there is primitive camping in Bobcat Campground and King Snake Campground. We stayed in the Cottonwood Campground which had a mix of camping types. 

    We stayed in an RTT, so all of the spots were easy access for us, but I saw some big rigs and setups with boats, so it looked like it was easy to park for most anyone.

    The spaces were ample sized and most all of them had enough trees surrounding them to offer decent privacy. They all had had fire pits, grills and picnic tables. They all looked pretty level.

    Restrooms and showers were passable, but not much better than that.

    The campground was pretty full, but pretty quiet. No problems with noise.

    Lots of trash cans around, but they were all full or overflowing. Most of the campsites had some lingering trash around. Definitely could have been cleaner.

    My son had a ball and this place isn't far from home, so we will probably checkout the other campgrounds on 15th the next time we are there.

    In addition to easy setup and getting around, the other thing that makes this great for new campers is that the city of Edmond is just a few miles away for a full list of stores and restaurants. Or head east on 2nd (66) and go to Pop's in Arcadia for a burger and a selection of over 500 sodas.

    And finally, lots of Oklahoma hospitality in case you do have problems or need a hand.

    Arcadia Lake

    King Snake Tent camping

    King Snake on Arcadia Lake is my go-to site for a quick getaway.  If I have a free weekend and the weather is nice I pack my tent and head out.  The park is large and spread out.  A LOT of Rv's and boats in the main parts of the park but I prefer King Snake for the tent camping.  No rv's, limited traffic, and a short walk to a lightly-used bathroom.  The sites are large enough for 2 large tents.  Tables, hooks, and fire pits in each.  Close enough to the city to get anything you may have forgotten to pack. Also, the eastend of the lake is quiet and calm, away from the boats.

    Great campsite! Picnic tables and fire pits. Walking distance to the beautiful lake. Fairly private site lots of trees between each. Plenty of sites to choose from water front or in the woods.

    Arcadia Lake

    Spacious sites with beautiful views

    I was pleasantly surprised by the amenities and spacious sites at such an affordable rate. Fish cleaning stations, grill, fire pit, and solid picnic tables at every site make this one of the better places I've camped. It's quiet, spaced out well, and there is so much room between sites that you can't hear your neighbors unless they're really loud. The bathrooms need serious updating or I would have given 5 stars.

    Rockwell RV Park

    Not safe at night. Transient people roam the area. Hourly rate motel next d

    This place does not feel safe. Located next to a meth head mobile home park and an hourly motel across the street can be entertaining at times. New owner, David Syler, took over the place and talked a big plans to upgrade things but hasn't. The park has flooding issues, has a huge vagrant problem and they hiked the rent up to$800 a month. Instead of addressing things he is kicking out anyone that speaks ill of him. Place looks old and run down and not cared for. Half the laundry machine are broken and the bathroom stalls are atrocious. The say they do background checks but have a convicted felon and murderer on site and as part of the staff and will lie if you ask. We have been tenants for over a year and we're told to vacate today with no warrant or reason.

    Arcadia Lake

    Central state park lake Arcadia

    All in all it was great. Shaded spot fire pit, leftover firewood, clean, electricity, and plenty of room. However the red ant hills made it difficult to find a spot for our tent and it was difficult to get a spot in general with their first come first serve rules.


Guide to Arcadia

Arcadia, Oklahoma camping areas sit at approximately 1,050 feet above sea level in a region characterized by mixed hardwood forests and rolling terrain. The area experiences humid subtropical climate conditions with hot summers reaching into the 90s and mild winters, creating extended camping seasons. Water levels at Arcadia Lake and surrounding waterways fluctuate seasonally, affecting shoreline camping and water access.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Bell Cow Lake provides multiple fishing spots with varying conditions. "Great bass fishing here! The dams were cool to see. It was easy to walk in and get a permit for camping and fishing," notes a visitor to Shawnee Twin Lakes.

Equestrian trails: Miles of dedicated horse paths wind through the forested areas. "There are miles of equestrian trails. Hiked down one and the trail was very peaceful and beautiful. It had recently rained a lot, so I had a thick layer of red mud on my shoes from the hike, but glad I hiked it," shares a camper at Bell Cow Lake Campground C.

Clay harvesting: The red clay soil around certain lakes provides a unique activity for creative campers. "The lake is filled with red clay. My mom and I harvested some and made little figures and baked them in the sun. We had so much fun," explains a visitor to Bell Cow Lake.

Disc golf: The region offers dedicated disc golf courses with defined fairways. Local courses maintain regular hours from sunrise to sunset and welcome players of all skill levels.

What campers like

Wildlife viewing: Several campgrounds feature unique animal encounters. "The kids loved the 7 baby Buffalo on the property," mentions a camper at Rockwell RV Park. For a more exotic experience, some visitors enjoy alpaca farms: "We got to pet the Alpacas and the 3 Great Pyrenees kept us company," notes a guest at Lazy H Alpaca Ranch.

Spacious sites: Many campers appreciate the room to spread out. "Our site is beautiful and idyllic, right on the water with basically a beachfront! Perfect for camping with kids," mentions a camper about the shoreline sites.

Morning amenities: Some campgrounds offer unique morning offerings. "Free coffee and muffins every morning. Bathouses were very clean and well kept," explains a visitor to Rockwell RV Park.

Yurt camping options: Several locations near Arcadia provide yurt accommodations for those seeking a blend between tent camping and cabin stays. Yurt camping in Arcadia, Oklahoma offers visitors protection from weather while maintaining a more rustic feel than traditional cabins.

What you should know

Weekday availability: For campers seeking solitude, timing matters. "Very pleasantly surprised by this campground. Has everything you need for pretty cheap ($11 for tent/no hookup) including bathrooms, tables, trash, water and more. Only one other car on a weeknight in April, so very quiet and peaceful," shares a visitor to Bell Cow Lake Campground C.

Insect preparation: The region's climate supports active insect populations. "There were plenty of flies due to the time of year and the presence of horses, so a good fly swatter and a fly trap is recommended," advises a Bell Cow Lake camper.

Highway noise: Some campgrounds experience road noise despite natural settings. "One of the only things we did not like was with the campsite being 2 miles from I-44 you could hear the highway traffic all night," notes a Bell Cow Lake visitor.

Specialized camping: OK Treehouse offers unique elevated accommodations. "Cool Treehouse with double bed. Outdoor Shower and camping toliet, kitchen. Groovy outdoor space with fire pit. Eclectic Artwork. Right off Rt 66," describes one visitor.

Yurt availability: Yurt camping around Arcadia, Oklahoma typically requires advance reservations, especially during peak season (May-September) when these popular accommodations fill quickly.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several campgrounds feature dedicated play areas for children. "There is a playground and picnic pavilion which would be good for families," mentions a visitor to Shawnee Twin Lakes.

Water safety: Swimming areas vary in bottom conditions and depth. "The swimming areas were nice and it was perfect for our boat!!" explains a Shawnee Twin Lakes camper. Some sites feature sandy bottoms while others have clay or rocky shores.

Site selection for kids: Campground layout impacts the family experience. "Our site is beautiful and idyllic, right on the water with basically a beachfront! Perfect for camping with kids," shares one family about their lakefront site at Oklahoma County Arcadia Lake City Park.

Footwear considerations: Lake access often requires appropriate shoes. "For anyone planning to camp, make sure u bring slip on shoes. U can go barefoot, we did. But the sand which is great at first... left our feet raw," advises a Bell Cow Lake visitor.

Tips from RVers

Storm shelter access: Oklahoma's weather patterns make this feature important. "They are well lit, have a tornado shelter and are near a multitude of stores and restaurants," notes a visitor to Heart of Oklahoma Exposition Center.

Site spacing: RV parks vary in how close rigs are positioned. "It is much like a big parking lot and the spaces are very close but level. The staff is friendly and helpful. Quiet," explains a Rockwell RV Park camper.

Hookup variations: Electric and water connections differ between campgrounds. "Water hook up and 30 amp. We stayed in 'Area B,' Campsite #4. Several shady spots. Easy water access," explains a Bell Cow Lake camper describing their site specifics.
