Welcome to Territory ROUTE 66 RV Park and Campgrounds! ON Route 66, “a piece of history”
This campground is one of Oklahoma's best-kept secrets despite being on the world-famous Route 66. All sites are level and have full hookups, and half are pull-throughs. A good portion of the reviews you’ll find make mention of the hospitality and kindness of the owners, Carol and Danny. Territory Route 66 is more of short-term stopover than a destination, but isn’t traveling Route 66 what it’s all about? It’s easy in, easy out, and located about a half hour outside of Oklahoma City. It’s a rural location but not too far from everything you need to restock and refresh for your cross-country trip.
$15 - $39 / night
OK TREEHOUSE
- Private IN CITY eco-friendly TREEHOUSE camp stay in Certified Wildlife Garden.
- Recharge, Reset or Create in our 100% upcycled, freegan, woman built handcrafted Treehouse! Made entirely of reclaimed lumber and supplies with a tin roof in Oklahoma City.
* No Cleaning Fees!
- OK Treehouse is also booked by searching Ok treehouse Airbnb and is a tiny but mighty installation art experience!
The space
Simple restful Artisan retreat for ONE (or two snugglers ) in a Treehouse located in Full Shade Certified Wildlife Habitat Garden.
**The upper Treehouse Treetop sleeping level is a SMALL one-room space only 64 sq. feet interior plus the upper deck. There is one double bed SET WITH ONLY SHEETS and one blanket plus full electricity which allows for very comfortable sleeping and just hanging out. There is a superfan for warm weather and a small electric heater for cooler evenings…there is NO central air conditioning or heat! The walls do not have insulation in them. Air flows in and out with randomness.
**The Flipside ROOT level area of the TREEHOUSE is much larger with decks Outside Open To The Elements. There is a covered bench area, outside table and chairs, outside lounge chair, outdoor kitchenette (sink, two-burner stove, and basic cooking supplies) and there is a community art project in progress for u to add to if u wish. There is also a CEDAR Outdoor Shower and camping toilet area. (Hot steamy water when temps are above freezing only. For sure NOT in JanFebMarch which is our only winter here in Oklahoma)
See notes in pictures for more details.
**There is a large fire pit that can be lit After Dark, firewood to burn, string lights that fill the yard, Hula hoops, and an adult-sized see-saw!
**Treehouse is located in a residential neighborhood and backs up to a pond where wildlife critters can be viewed as long as you never go over there not ever. Goose ❤Swan love story happening over there.
**If you are looking for a unique space that is peaceful and quiet (or being part of a creative community) you will enjoy staying with us and we will enjoy hosting you! Our family of artists also lives on the property and we are very respectful of your privacy while also being on hand in case you might need anything else.
The space is filled with an eclectic array of tiny oddities left behind by fellow travelers. Bring one of your to add to the collection!
**The root level decks can not be seen from our house. We can not see into the TREEHOUSE. Private entrance through the side gate into our backyard is where the TREEHOUSE is located.
**Created in 2015, OK Treehouse has grown and changed into what you see today. All is 100% recycled/upcycled: (except for the bed cuz that's gross!) The lumber, paints, screws, tin roof, yard art, kitchen, windows, fabrics, and doors sent to the curb for the trash man, left behind to fill another landfill. All recreated into what it is today. Even all the landscaping!
** Please make sure that you are physically capable of using steep ladder stairs repeatedly. The entire Area is USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! By booking here you have acknowledged this!
** The nighttime is the right time! Check-in is not until 6 PM and check-out is at 10 AM.. . If you are traveling from far away and would like to leave your bag here until check-in time, we can do that.
If you are in need of more than one night's stay: You must book nights Separately and not be in the Treehouse during the daytime hours of 10am to 6pm ( but yes u can leave all ur things)
**No cigarette smoking in the upper treetop level of Treehouse. No parties! Quiet always. No pets as BabyKitty loves and lives here and just might hang out with you the entire time. Please no service animals as BabyKitty has PTSD dog issues.
**Firepits don't light when it has been raining. No there is not a TV. Leaves aren't on trees in the winter. Ladybugs, Bees, and other crawlie or flying things are beautiful creatures. My garden is a polinator-friendly Certified Wildlife Habitat. No, It does not rain inside the treehouse. Yes, we are 5 blocks off of Rt 66 and you will hear the highway cuz we are right in the middle of the city- especially when there are no leaves on the trees. Ducks at the neighbor's pond quack all night long, random dogs bark, singing birds will wake you in the morning and coolers only have food and ice in them if you bring that all yourself.
** If you like the outdoors, mother nature, and all of her creatures – then this is for you. If the sight of a bug has you running and screaming – this is not for you. If you need an air-tight temperature-controlled space – this is not for you. If you want to slow down, breathe in the fresh air – then this is for you.
**Thanks so much for helping support our mission of Reducing, Recycling, and Recreating the world by providing a low-cost alternative to high-priced stuffy lodging.
**COVID-19 adjustments: Outdoors seems to be the safest place to be these days when needing to get away. We are excited to make our TREEHOUSE Gardens available for a ONE-NIGHT STAY to folks on route or in need of a simple, affordable and healthy space. There is no one in the Treehouse for a full 8 hours before and after each guest to allow for cleaning and additional air flowability.

Traveler
I'm new at this but it was very easy to navigate to find it and around the area, great place to stop overnight. They have very clean showers and washers from a door with a code. It's nicely lit but not blinding. It felt very safe and it was nice and quiet besides route 66 of course. Hookups work well. Grounds were nice and clean.
Ranger
The only reason I didn’t give this park five stars is it it’s right next to the interstate so there was quite a bit of freeway noise. Other than that the park is very well kept and maintained. The camp hosts were super nice. The bathrooms and showers were awesome. Full hook ups for a back in site for $40 per night. For being a RV park, the spaces were napart from each other. not right on top of each other like some parks are. This park also looks to have several full-time or seasonal residents.
Scout
This was a one night stop while on the road. The KOA is very clean but it is very noisy. There is a wooded area at the back of the park that contains a private residence. Large dogs barked all night. A permanent tenant at the rear of the park also runs his dog before 8am. Not as bad but this dog barks also. Traffic is also louder than usual. Will not be back here!
Scout
Located next to a lake, excellent spot for rv or tent sites. Staff is super friendly.
Scout
I really do love this RV place and it’s convenient because we are big gamblers for WinStar so it’s very close and it’s not noisy like at WinStar so the owners are very respectable very sweet. I would recommend this.
Legend
Park hasn't seen investment in a while. We'll spaced sites. 30 Amp power was strong enough to run both of our air conditioners. Boat to sites at a few sites.
TravelerEast entrance has sites with no hookups for $20. Weather entrance has hookups for $25. Within park, but outside of campground are a handful of free, primitive sites. Small, but pleasant lake. Walking path, pier, and some grills and firepits along lakeshore, just past the Campground. Bathrooms and showers within campground, but are closed at night.
ScoutThe stay at Territory Route 66 RV park & campgrounds was easy to find, easy to drive in, peaceful stay, clean grounds, friendly people (the owners Danny & Carol were on site to say hello!) We would stay again
RangerWe were in Site# 66. We had Full hook- up with a paved pull-through.
We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep.
The site was easy to level. Our site was not shaded with limited trees. In eight years of RV-ing, we’ve never had such little space between us and our neighbors. We literally walk out our door into their sewer. (See pictures) My husband can touch both RVs with his arms outstretched.
The lot did not come with a concrete patio, picnic table, or a fire ring. Some lots had a picnic table. We did not request one since we’d be eating at our neighbor’s sewer.
It is an easy access to the campground from highway -(right off the highway).
There is free WiFi. They offer Cable TV and there are many local channels).
They do not sell wood here.
They do not provide garbage service at your site but there are many barrel drum trash cans that can be accessed.
You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. They do not provide golf cart rentals. There is really not a need to have a Golf cart because it is a smaller campground.
They do have a Swimming pool (not heated & freezing). They have a fishing Lake on property (it is hidden behind some cabins so you could stay here & never know the lake is here). There are two Buffalo that are owned by the owners of the restaurant and trading post above the KOA (who also own the KOA).
There is a Playground and jumping pad for kids. They have a basic general store.
There is not a snack bar/restaurant on site but there is a restaurant at the top of the hill.
The streets are paved and good for riding bikes. There is not really anywhere to ride bikes outside of campground.
This is a RV park but also have many cabins for rent and tent areas.
They have 2 shower houses. The shower house has the typical stalls. These are kept very clean.
There is a laundry facility. It is a cash only facility. You’ll need to get change in the main office while they are open (no change machine). There are approximately 6 washers and 6 dryers. It is approximately $2 to wash and $2 to dry a load.
They have a fenced in dog park.
Bugs were an issue and bug spray was definitely needed.
There were no trails to hike in the campground.
We’ve noticed that the casinos nearby mainly offer slot machines only (very few have live tables (craps, roulette, blackjack,etc.).
Guide
This KOA is an excellent choice for visiting Oklahoma City. Check in was quick and friendly. It was easy to get to downtown, yet the traffic noise was never an issue. Anything you need is nearby. We liked our site, it was level and the utilities great. The bathroom/showers were very clean and there was plenty of hot water. The maintenance was good throughout. Solid KOA.
Legend
What a cool place in the middle of a flat area of OK. The guys at the check in office were super nice. Our campsite was clean and within a reasonable walking distance to the bathroom. Showers are individual stalls, but separate from the toilet section of the bathhouse. The park is fun to explore and the camping areas are broken up so that you don’t feel crowded. Would definitely return here again if in the area.
TravelerThis park is small, quaint, with beautiful vistas! It is well taken care of and the hosts are wonderful.
Scout
Are the showers open today
Traveler
Nice little peninsula, watched the sun come up over the water. Quiet and flat camp spot.
RangerVery 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. Bathrooms were kind of gross but I expect that’s due to visiting in a shoulder season.
Scout
Campsites are very close together. There is no picnic table and the fire grate things were all bent and not usable.
Trails poorly marked
It is beautiful out here but if more people had been out camping I hate to think how loud and crowded it would have been.
TravelerGreat campground, close to hwy with minimal hwy noise. Friendly owners, clean restrooms. Will stop again!
GuideArrived at about 1AM after we had some car trouble. Campground was great because you can pay 24/7 by filling out the envelope at the office and putting it in the drop box. Interstate noise is definitely loud but also heard an owl as we were laying it down. Bathrooms are really far away from the $20 spots and locked after 7 so relieve yourself at a gas station before you get there if you are tent/car camping. We stopped late February and had no issues finding a spot.
Scout
I'v not been there so I won't review or rate the campground but I searched the location on internet and Google Maps and be aware that the location given here is wrong. It's not located near El Reno but way way before Tulsa. I'm desappointed because the campground was exactly what I was looking for at El Reno.
Legend
We didn't stay but rode our bikes over from Little Ax to ride the bike trails. No one there except the campground hosts but we explored the campground and area. Very nice. Lots and lots of trails including and unmarked but paved trail. We are here for a few days and will come back again to do more. Great view of the dam and the lake from the dock and they allow one to bike and walk across the dam.
Legend
We stayed here on our way out in December. For visitor center was quite nice and the staff quite friendly. We only stayed for a night but we had enough time to walk the trails close which were very nice. It seems there's more activities on the other side of the lake if that's what you want to do there's trails and multiple places to put in a boat and to tie it up closer to where you would stay.
LegendThe spots are nice and level in the bathrooms are well maintained. From here you can hop over to some mountain bike trails which will explore tomorrow. There is excellent cell service if you have Verizon so I get to work from here for a few days. Pretty much every spot has a great view of the lake. Every spot also has its own seeming little beachfront which is really quite cool. And I have to mention there's a laundromat that's very reasonably priced which I tried to see it earlier if it was here and that wasn't listed.
Legend
We're staying next door and decided to go over and see the campground. Part of it looks like it hasn't been used in a long long time and the rest is probably only open in the summer. There are modern bathrooms and showers and access to the lake but that's about all that's there. To get over to the rest of the campgrounds you actually need to go out on a pretty busy road.
Scout
We got to pet the Alpacas and the 3 Great Pyrenees kept us company. We camped early Jan and it was cold. Kathy was very friendly and helpful.
LegendNice campspots as we are passing through Oklahoma, near Norman and restaurants/grocery stores. Quiet with decent shower and bathrooms.
The spot we found was level, but has pulled into the spot next door first and it was not very level. You can't beat the price for $26 a spot for electric. They also don't tack on non-resident fees like some states wish is appreciated. Tourism brings additional money into the state. Thank you!
TravelerLoved this park. Spectacular views. No neighbors this time of year. Nestled in a canyon of red, walnuts, creek, trails. Just perfect.
Ranger
We were here for a 3-day stop to visit friends. It has been around for some time right off Route 66. The staff were friendly, and we were given our choice of where to camp. Our spot was a pull-through, not completely level, but that wasn't a problem for us. The campground was clean and very comfortable. The only downside is the red dirt that is easy to track into your camper, Its Oklahoma.
