  Little Axe — Lake Thunderbird State Park

  Beautiful Spot

  Nice little peninsula, watched the sun come up over the water. Quiet and flat camp spot.

  Bell Cow Lake Campground C

  Peaceful springtime camp spot

  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. Bathrooms were kind of gross but I expect that’s due to visiting in a shoulder season.

  Lake Carl Blackwell

  Poorly Planned

  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.

  South Dam - Lake Thunderbird State Park

  Really nice campground for tent camping

  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.

  Little Axe — Lake Thunderbird State Park

  Traditional lake campground

  The 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.

  Little Axe — Lake Thunderbird State Park

  Quiet spot near the lake

  Nice 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!

  Great Campground

  Little Axe Campground is a great Campground. Bathrooms are new and showers work great and spacious. Lot of campsites on the water so you can beach your boat.

  Poorly managed dump that is also dangerous to you, your vehicles, and your pets

  Our dog was attacked Sunday 5/28/2023! The irresponsible owner and dogs are still on the property. The manager told us that is was “between us and them”. Also, there is an employee that lives on site that as far as I could tell does nothing but gets drunk and then drives his pos beat up truck through the campground like an idiot. Spins his tires and slings gravel everywhere. So if walking your pup “at your own risk” or having your expensive rig and/or tow vehicle slapped with gravel sounds like a good time to you then this place is right up your alley. Just do yourself a favor and take your money elsewhere.

  Party place

  This is definitely a party campground, so if that is your thing you will enjoy. Just not my cup of tea. Sites are nice and there is room, but not private at all. Best sites in Beaver Cove are 25, 26, 27. Site 27 has shade but is hard to back into. Site 26 is the best for views if it’s not hot hot summer. Bathrooms get a no star. 2 vault toilets at campground. 2 showers you have to drive to and they are an odd set up with zero privacy and water spraying all over your towel and clean clothes. Hot water was almost non-existent. While the views are pretty, the lake is way down due to drought. Fishing looks good. I will probably look elsewhere if in this area again.

  This place is TRASH DO NOT STAY !!!!

   The most unkept RV park I’ve ever seen in the 11 years I’ve been RVing this place is disgrace. It smells like sewage, their pool and spa have algae in the water feels like slime is on you. The staff is so unprofessional and rude, and just plain ugly to you literally, there are drugs in meth addicts in the bungalow cabins they literally rent these places to homeless people and crime is so high here do not stay. The manager is so so evil.

  Arcadia Lake

  Very quiet!

  Edmond Park is one of three separate parks around Arcadia Lake; this one has primitive (no hookups) campsites. This park/campground was the quietest of the three we visited; in fact, we did not see any other campers when we were there on a weekday in early May. Of course, this may not be the case on a weekend in the summer! 

  The bathroom facilities are sub-par– dated and not very clean. NO showers.

  This campground would be nice for families as the playground was located centrally and is easily accessible from all sites. 

  There is also a primitive group camping area. 

  There is a swimming beach/day-use area not too far away. 

  There are no hookups in any of the sites here and many of the driveways were short so it would be better for tents or small RVs/camper vans.

  It’s an “ok” spot

  Very barren, sites close to each other and location was iffy. Sad and depressing. The live buffalo are in a small pen and miserable. Store had little to nothing in it and didn’t bother with checking any other amenities. Would not stay again.

  Arcadia Lake

  Not bad

  I've been camping at this lake since I was a kid. We always use primitive campsites when we stay. If you can get a spot near the water, that is the best. You may need to get creative when setting up your site. If there are a lot of other campers around, it can be cramped. The general store is only open from memorial day to labor day but there is a Walmart near the lake.

  Great tent camping site!

  Absolutely loved it here. Beautiful place to stay. Fire pit at each spot. Right off the lake. Bathrooms and showers. Highly recommend!

  Plenty of spaces with full hookups, cable/wifi, but spaces are close together. No fire ring. We asked to change our site and they accommodated us. Friendly staff with small store. They have small, but nicely maintained dog park. They have live buffalo, too! Pool, jacuzzi, laundry, and bathhouse.

  Beautiful lake and grounds

  Lakeside spots are spacious and well kept. Be prepared for flying bugs. Lake is great for swimming with shallow flat bottom.

  Lake Carl Blackwell

  Gorgeous location, huge pretty lake

  Couldn't ask for a better place to spend a few weeks. I ended up buying a kyack to explore the lake. I was on the primitive site (13 is the best as super shady) the staff are very friendly and the whole place is well looked after. Didnt want to leave and absolutely would love to stay here again!

  Lake Carl Blackwell

  Relaxing time

  We reserve two sites side by side in the beaver cove campground. The sites are on a slight decline but pull through and we were able to make them level with our blocks. The sides have enough room for the grandkids to roam around it besides for electric and water only but offered a view of the lake and we're close by a swim area. The trees at the sides provided adequate shade for the afternoon sun and the campground offered boat ramps couple of swim areas and on-site store for gas and supplies including and after hours vending machine with propane tanks and charcoal and s'mores supplies. The dump station provided slots for three RVs at one time and well thought out. The crap ground offers hiking bicycle and horse trails that cover a large area. Wildlife was abundant with plenty of deer and Canadian geese and squirrels. The campgrounds offer some annual sites for long-term visits but there is a waiting list to be on that.

  Wouldn't stay here again

  It looks like Julian, Ricky and Bubbles live here. ( Watch Trailer Park Boys if you don't get this analogy.) Was sent to 2 different sites, which were both occupied. Finally given a site with a huge puddle (a small lake) in front. Absolutely no WiFi, cable ok. Close to a highway and hear it, landfill right behind the park too. Hook ups are not great either. Many more full time residents than campers. Close to shopping. Staff was friendly. Would not book here again. Ok in a pinch or short stay. Ended up only staying one night, left early.

  Liberty Lake

  It’s okay..

  Away from the hustle and bustle of town it’s quiet and remote. That’s about it though.. there’s a couple of sites for camping all entirely too close to each other. The parking lot is bigger than the grass areas you have to work with. It’s a great spot to fish though catfish largemouth and crappie being the usuals. Great place to bring a boat you’ll need it to see most of the lake. There are much better places within 30 minutes of here.

  Cozy & Beautiful

  The camp hosts were very nice and so were our camping neighbors. Our site was clean with a good view of the water. Lots of beautiful waterfront spots and we saw people who brought boats to the shore next to their site. We would definitely come back!

  Their system is awful the views are great.

  Get there at the right time which is checkout time. It doesn’t matter if the site is empty check it’s probably paid for. With that said if you manage to get a spot it’s going to be a nice stay. Huge spots close to the water and lots of wildlife it’s hard to believe the city isn’t far away.
