      Do Drop Inn RV Resort

      Nice Park!

      Not too far from Highway 75 and the Choctaw Resort. Parking for registration is located right next to the office. All the park staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The road from the highway to the park is easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate. No road noise- very quiet. 

      First things first - be prepared for a longer-than-usual registration process. I've never had a registration process require as much information, or take as long as this one did. You will need the driver's license of every person in your party - adults and teenagers. They will scan and retain each of them. You will need to provide actual copies of the insurance policies for both your RV and your tow (or Toad) vehicle, along with the license plate numbers for all vehicles. If you are using a Good Sam's discount, make sure that you have the membership number and expiration date. 

      Most check-in procedures at parks take a couple of minutes, but not here. Thank goodness we were the only ones checking in, or it would have been a lengthy ordeal. So, be prepared in advance and have all of this with you to speed up the process. At first, I couldn't figure out why they required all of this information, then it dawned on me- this is predominantly a park for full-time residents, and that would be the information they'd require of people living there. 

      It's off the beaten path, so you're not going to get that many travelers. As we walked through the park, I noticed that close to 100% of the rigs are full-timers. In my experience, most parks that cater to full-timers are kind of sketchy and don't really appeal to travelers - not this one. This is labeled as a resort, and it probably is the nicest RV park that we've ever visited that is predominantly full-timers. 

      Please don't have any reservations about staying here, as you will feel welcome. We were assigned to pull-through site number 40. All the sites are concrete and appear level. Power, Water, and Sewer were all conveniently located, and the power supply had no issues at all. We use a power management system, and all electrical parameters were spot on during our stay. Water pressure was very good, and the in-ground sewer connection was conveniently located. 

      Bathrooms, Showers, and Laundry are all located on the back side of the office building and are in great shape with a keyed entry. There is great Wi-Fi in the park with repeaters near all the sites. We had AT&T 5G with 2 bars. Starlink reception was not an issue due to no large trees. Their website lists all of the amenities, and I've included photos of the park. Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay. This park deserves its high rating, and I would not hesitate to recommend it- enjoy!

      Eisenhower State Park Campground

      Very fun RV camping

      RV Camp sites are super nice and well spaced. Really cool fossil sites near the lake shore. Nice huge lake. And really good trails (for North East Texas).

      Elephant Rock Campground — Lake Murray State Park

      Lake front site

      Love our stay at Lake Murray. The park was very quiet while we visited. We opted for a back in sit along the lake. The site was plenty big enough for our 27 ft trailer and tow vehicle.

      Eisenhower State Park Campground

      Nice park overall. Clean and secure.

      I’ve been here several times over the last few years (latest oct 2025). I like the hiking trails and the amazing beauty of the outdoors. The lake is pretty and probably fun to fish or boat on. I didn’t do this while I was there. There is a small onsite store. The roads are maintained and paved and the campsites are very nice sized with long parking spots for campers. Some tent sites have power and some even have large screen shelters. The park is monitored by state police throughout the day and night and that is good to keep the trouble away.

      Turner Falls Park

      Turner falls

      Fun area with waterfall, camping, swimming, and zip lines. You have to pay to enter the park and than you have access to everything inside including restaurants and stores. It can get real loud in here as people tend to have music playing loud ALL DAY. The trails are awesome, there is even a cave in an off the trail area back behind the bathrooms at the waterfall. Stay in the wash out area and hike up a ways and than off to your left you climb this up hill rock boulder up to the cave. I'd ask for directions. There are trails back there to that take you up the creek above the waterfall. It's a big area

      Soggy Bottom Trails & Campground

      Trails mean offroading!

      What a trip into another world! Arrived just as mud bogging event begins for the weekend. Giant trucks, loud engines and enormous tires racing through mud bogs. Lots of beer, music, laughter and kids. If you join in , bring ear plugs and expect to get good and dirty. Takes me back to my redneck roots.

      Well Shaded

      Most camp sites are shaded with pull through sites full hook ups, well maintained and quiet.

    Guide to Ardmore

    Lake Murray State Park near Ardmore, Oklahoma sits at around 750 feet elevation in the rolling hills of the Arbuckle Mountains. The park surrounds a 5,700-acre lake with water that's remarkably clearer than many Oklahoma lakes. Winter temperatures can drop below freezing at night even when days are mild, requiring cabin guests to prepare for significant temperature variations.

    What to do

    Explore Tucker Tower: Located within Lake Murray State Park, this historical structure offers educational exhibits and lake views. "The tower has a dock if you want to take the tour... Oklahoma is often known for its red/brown lakes, but Lake Murray is an exception. Green/blue waters that were clear enough to see the tip of my paddle when stuck straight down 4-5 feet," notes a visitor to Buzzards Roost Campground.

    Hike the trails: The Buckhorn Trail connects several campgrounds and offers moderate terrain suitable for families. "We were able to go on the Buck horn trail which wasn't that long and was filled with families hiking," reports a camper at Elephant Rock Campground.

    Visit caves and waterfalls: Turner Falls area features natural formations within short driving distance of most cabins. "The trails are awesome, there is even a cave in an off the trail area back behind the bathrooms at the waterfall. Stay in the wash out area and hike up a ways and than off to your left you climb this up hill rock boulder up to the cave," explains a visitor to Turner Falls Park.

    What campers like

    Off-season tranquility: Winter and fall visits offer lower crowds and pleasant experiences for cabin stays. "Stopped here on the way south to San Antonio. There were only two RVs in the entire campground. Reservations easily made online. Chose a nice spot adjacent to the Lake where I was visited by a friendly goose for breakfast," shares a camper at Elephant Rock Campground.

    Water clarity: Unlike many Oklahoma lakes, Lake Murray offers exceptional visibility. "We camp at Lake Murray State Park, Elephant rock RV area... Full hookups as well as some water and electric only. Of all the areas we camp.... this is the best. Hiking, golf, fishing, great Lodge with a wonderful place to eat... Foggy Bottom," notes a guest at Lake Murray Resort.

    Waterfront sites: Many cabins and camping areas feature direct lake access. "We paid a little more (about $7) to be right on the lake," mentions a visitor to Cedar Grove Campground, while another camper adds, "We stayed on the water at Cedar Cove and had a waterfront spot and no sewer hookup. We loved the shade and the trees. Perfect for the heat."

    What you should know

    Reservation timing: Cabins near Ardmore book quickly, especially waterfront locations. "Reservations are essential, particularly during summer months and holiday weekends when cabins book quickly," and "if you want to rent a boat or jet skis I recommend booking that FAR in advance," advises a Tipps Point Campground visitor.

    Site layout challenges: Some cabin and camping areas have awkward utility placements. "The site I reserved (Site 21) was a mere 3 ft from the road. Not too big of a problem, except that I'm a light sleeper and cars/trucks/RV's, trucks pulling trailers, motorcycles etc. noisily and regularly drive right by," reports a Tipps Point camper.

    Weather variations: Temperature fluctuations can be significant even during mild seasons. "I camped here in November and was not at all prepared for how cold it was at night. We arrived after dark and set up and went to sleep right away," shares a visitor to Turner Falls Park.

    Tips for camping with families

    Swimming areas: Multiple designated swim spots exist around the lake with varying amenities. "The park has cabins of varying hook-ups... Lake Murray is a favorite camping area for us. Campgrounds are clean, have childrens play area, and cost is reasonable," notes a visitor to Lake Murray Resort.

    Wildlife viewing opportunities: Morning hours offer the best animal sighting chances near cabin areas. "Seen some deer after we got rained out and spent a whole day in the tent with the family," reports a Turner Falls visitor.

    Playground access: Many camping areas feature play equipment near cabin clusters. "We really love coming to Elephant Rock. It has great options- some spots are secluded in the trees and some are open in the middle areas if you want to be around people. It has lake access, great playgrounds for kids, close to town with everything you need," shares a visitor.

    Tips from RVers

    Parking fees: Be aware of additional vehicle costs when staying in cabins or RV sites. "WARNING: Oklahoma State Parks charge a daily parking fee per vehicle of $10 in addition to the camping fee and they enforce it...just saying from experience...read the information carefully!" warns a Lake Murray Resort visitor.

    Water connection distance: Some sites require long hoses to reach hookups. "We did have to borrow a water hose. The water hookup was nearly 70' from us," shares a Cedar Grove camper.

    Seasonal capacity: Summer weekends reach maximum capacity, while winter provides quiet options. "Busy as can be lots of people. If you like to camp and be secluded this isn't the park. There are a couple great spots but the go fast. We got here on Wednesday and most of the secluded spots were taken."
