The area sits in the northeastern Oklahoma prairie at approximately 750 feet elevation, with typically hot summers and moderate winters. Several campgrounds remain operational year-round with varying levels of maintenance, accessibility considerations, and amenities designed for different camping styles.
What to do
Recreation center access: Visitors staying at Claremore Expo RV Park can use the nearby recreation center with swimming facilities. "Access to the Expo rec center is nice and our kids had a lot of fun in the pool. The really enjoyed the climbing wall and diving board!" notes Lisa H.

"There are many local attractions and things to do (Claremore Expo, Will Rogers Museum, J.M. Davis Gun Museum, etc.) and all of the shopping and vintage stores that a person might like to see," shares Mike B.
Fishing opportunities: For anglers staying at The RV Park at Keystone Lake, the convenience store stocks basic fishing supplies. Neda H. reports, "There is a nice, well-stocked convenience store on with ice, firewood, food, propane, a few fishing supplies and gift shop."
What campers like
Clean facilities: Travelers appreciate well-maintained bathroom facilities at select locations. At Honcho RV Park, Alexis P. commented, "The facilities are absolutely incredible. The nicest bathrooms I've seen on my cross country trip. A little pricey at $67 per night, but they make it worth it with the excellent facilities."
Level concrete pads: RVers value the stability of properly surfaced parking areas. At Expo Square RV Park, Chris C. noted, "Huge campground, level concrete pads, clean and 50 bucks for 30 amp, showers and restrooms."
Secure facilities: Some campgrounds offer added security features for amenities. Lori C. observed at Expo Square RV Park, "Private bathrooms and showers were clean with code entry. Laundromat was functional and centrally located."
What you should know
Seasonal weather impacts: Summer storms can create drainage issues at some sites. At Tulsa RV Ranch, a guest reported, "We had the only space with a giant puddle upon arriving that never did dry up and then it rained."
Variable WiFi performance: Internet connectivity fluctuates significantly between campgrounds. One camper at Crossroads RV Park mentioned, "There was even WiFi available (although the strength varied). I was pleasantly surprised to find that my Verizon and AT&T signals worked well at the park too."
Noise considerations: Several RV parks sit near transportation corridors. At Claremore Expo RV Park, Brittany M. noted, "It's in the middle of town so there is plenty of road and train noises, but that didn't bother us too much."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Children have space to play at certain locations. A visitor at Tulsa RV Ranch shared, "Lot of long term trailers. The kids were nice though and my boys enjoyed playing on the playground with them."
Grass areas for activities: Open spaces provide room for recreation. "The park hosts always made sure to mow a nice path so you could walk to it. Also there are several varieties of wildflowers around," noted Will and Lucinda B. about Country View RV Park.
Educational opportunities: Several campgrounds offer nearby learning experiences. "Within walking distance there's the expo center (you can go in and pet horses) and a Rec center with a pool. You can go to Will Rogers Museum, JM Davis fun museum, RSU has a nice little hiking trail as does the Lake," shares Jennifer D. about Claremore Expo RV Park.
Tips from RVers
Water hookup design: Some parks have underground water connections that may present accessibility challenges. Neda H. at The RV Park at Keystone Lake observed, "The water hookup is under the ground like a water meter location, and both my husband & myself have physical limitations that prevent us from getting on our knees to reach under the ground for hookups."
Event-based camping: RV parks near fairgrounds or expo centers often cater to event attendees rather than recreational campers. "This is a great place for Rv's but it's not for camping. People stay here when there are events in town at the expo center such as huge horse shows, gun shows, the fair etc.," explains Jennifer D. about Expo Square RV Park.
Leveling requirements: Bring leveling equipment as site flatness varies between campgrounds. "Our pull-through site wasn't super level. Our stairs always felt weird and the back end of the fifth wheel was pretty high. Using jack pads (the yellow Lego style) compensated easily enough," reported Will and Lucinda B. about their stay at Country View RV Park.
