Nice 4 day stop! Great place to walk the pups, enjoy the peace and quiet, and listen to the water and the wind. We stayed at Sandy Beach in site 001. It was a fantastic spot! Bathrooms were clean. Electric and water hookups were great, and the dump station was in good working order. Not many other guests were there. The staff was really nice on the phone. My only note for improvement is related to a good amount of litter in the bushes and some bottle tops and zip ties at our camp site. I'm sure it's hard for the staff to keep up with. If guests were more conscious of their trash, it would make the world a better place, but that can be said of many places.
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!
I booked a site at the Buffalo Bend Campground in Foss SP while traveling on Highway 40. The park is a little bit far from the highway but a pretty drive. We were in site BB002 which had decent privacy. Unfortunately, it was a very hot and humid day but we were pleasantly surprised by the air-conditioned bathrooms. I’ve been camping a lot, but that was a first! The area in Buffalo Bend did not have views of the lake and there was no breeze but the bathrooms had clean showers.
We 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.).
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.
We stayed 2 nights in the Cedar Point section of this huge campground. Our site, CP003, had a great view of the lake and the gorgeous sunset over the lake. The sites were level, but offered no privacy due to the closeness of the sites and no vegetation coverage between them.
The bathhouse was quite a distance from the campsites. The showers were individual rooms with an adequate number of wall hooks to keep personals off the floor. The water flow in my shower was weak and lukewarm. My husband said that his shower was the best ever with very hot water and strong water flow! The bathhouse interior could use a new coat of paint.
The campground was well-maintained with plenty of open areas for activities, including disc golf.
This is the equestrian campground and it has 17 miles of trails connected to it. There's both a number of spots for RVs and some beautiful spots down by the lake for tents. And the only one here almost nobody has driven through I can hear the road but pretty much have had the place to myself which has been very nice. The trail is really just a mode grass pack but you can bike on it and you can walk on it and there's some evidence of horses I'm not sure how much use this part of it gets. Bathrooms and showers are great and available I would definitely stop back again if I'm coming through this way.
Loved this park. Spectacular views. No neighbors this time of year. Nestled in a canyon of red, walnuts, creek, trails. Just perfect.
We stayed overnight in a pull through site. The sites were very close together. Couldn't really sit out because we were too close to our neighbor's sewer line! If you stay here try to stay in the tree section.
It was the only not free campsite we camped at on our two week trip with new sites every night. I have no complaints in any way shape or form about the camp so it 100% gets five stars from me. Only complaint is about the website and the map offered on the website. Completely unhelpful and poorly designed. In this time of technology that is accessible to everyone, you NEED to update your forums. But that’s enough from me. This was my second favorite campsite during my trip across nine states and fourteen campsites. And it’s definitely top three of all time.
My visit to Red Rock Canyon left me awe-inspired and exhilarated! From the moment I stepped foot into the park, I was greeted by the mesmerizing beauty of the red rock formations, captivating greenery, and clean rivers.
What truly sets this park apart is the wide range of activities available for all adventure enthusiasts. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced rock climber, Red Rock Canyon offers something for everyone.
Ample clean lake front site. Not crowded and quiet with beautiful views.
This place was such a disappointment. I don't often pay for campsites that aren't inside a National Park, but this place looked so pretty and it was in the location I needed.
I should start by saying that if you book an RV spot (I think they cost around $30) and whatever you're staying in has a toilet, your experience will probably be a lot better than mine. Although very close together, the RV sections seemed fairly nice.
My experience, however, was a little different (if you don't want to read all about my experience & just want the basics, scroll down to the section "the campground"):
I booked my tent site ($20) on their website a few hours before I arrived. I arrived well before sunset, and there was a sign up that said the office closed at sunset. No one was in the office and there was another sign that indicated they would return at 10AM. This wasn't a big deal.
When I booked my site online it told me to select an area (there's three different sections of the park), and then once I arrive I could choose any available campsite. I chose the Walnut Grove area. They have a map on their website showing the areas where there is tent camping. What they fail to mention on their site, is that there isn't any obvious parking for most of these sites in the Walnut Grove area. A couple of the campsites on the map were in what was signed to be a "day use only" area, a couple of the sites on the map looked like walk-in sites, but I had no clue where to park my vehicle, a couple of the sites I just couldn't find, and most of the sites were on the main road that goes through the canyon and had no obvious place to park (I looked for dead or trodden grass near the sites to give me a sign that people were just parking in the grass & didn't see any.) Also, at first it was hard to distinguish between which sites were day use picnic sites and which were campsites, because the website told me the campsite area I chose didn't have fire rings.
I finally decided to just pull onto the grass, but I noticed that multiple campsites had trash at them (most likely from guests using the park during the day). Nearby a dumpster was overflowing with trash, and I eventually saw that every section had one or two dumpsters either filled to the brim or overflowing.
I decided to stop off at the toilets in the Walnut Grove area. To get there you cross a wooden bridge that has wood planks laying over the original structure, which seems a little hazardous for navigating after dark. I could smell the bathrooms (an actual running water bathroom) from the bridge, not a great sign, but it appeared to be coming from the men's. In the women's side were two spiders the size of my palm, one in each stall. (Yes, I am afraid of spiders. In most circumstances I can get over it, but a spider of this size, that didn't seemed particularly frightened by my presence, hanging out close by while I sat on a toilet was a little too much for me in this moment.).
Between the frustration of trying to find a campsite/parking, the overflowing trash, the horrible smelling bathroom, the giant spiders, and the trash at the campsites, I finally decided to check out another area. Despite finding another overflowing dumpster, this area was a little better. The campsites were on a gravel loop, with a cleaner, but still not great bathroom at the front of the loop. At this point, I was hungry, tried, and frustrated, so I just stayed there. The office was still closed when I left in the morning.
I'm not a particularly fussy camper. I don't mind picking up a little bit of trash at a campsite. I frequently camp in areas that don't have toilets or any amenities. But when I pay $20 to camp in a tent, I do expect to have the campsites, the toilets, and the overall campground maintained and cleaned to some acceptable degree.
The campground: You drive down a short, but steep and curvy hill to get into the canyon. The red rocks of the canyon wall give off a pretty glow, especially when the sun is lower in the sky. The park is labeled into three different sections; if you are tent camping I would advise going for the first campground called Canyon Campground. Also, unless you're concerned about it filling up, I would go down and look at the areas before booking one. There are three bathrooms with running water throughout the canyon; the toilets themselves look clean, but the bathrooms as a whole don't; also lots of bugs and a couple large spiders inside. There was trash at many of the campgrounds and most of the dumpsters were overflowing with trash.
The area: If you are coming from highway 40 you'll pass through a small town that has a Sonic and a local restaurant or two. Watch your speed here, there was a police officer every time I drove by. Otherwise there's not much nearby.
Booking: You can book online, but they did have envelopes & a drop box by the front office.
Cell service: I could call out, but couldn't text or use internet.
Stayed at Cottonwood campground in early October. Only 2 others here. All other grounds at Foss are equally empty. Clean toilets and showers, clean sites w/ water and power. Coyotes at night. A very pleasant stay.
Super friendly, right off the highway, clean and shady spots. It is still very hot so the shade is key!
This campground is only about an hour and a half from our homes and we have been coming here off and on the last 40 years. The improvements that have been made to this facility over the year or I'm simply amazing. The staff was friendly courteous and helpful ways bath house and showers were clean up-to-date and conveniently located swimming pool and playground area organized and safely running.
Good one night stay. Access to swimming in the lake from our campsite. Facilities were clean. Check out Slice 183 in New Cordell for good pizza!
Wow. I can't recommend this park highly enough. I pulled in here after a week in the deserts of eastern California, Arizona, New Mexico, and the Texas panhandle. The lush green landscape at the bottom of Red Rock Canyon was a balm for this Northwesterner's soul. I liked it so much I decided to stay three nights instead of one. Rates for tent camping are very reasonable.
The landscape around Hinton doesn't, uh, hint, at the Canyon's presence. It is flat here, which makes the canyon all the more remarkable. Trees at the bottom are sheltered from the wind and grow to great heights. There is a creek that runs along the length of the canyon. The creek is dammed at one point to create a small lake, where fish can be caught. There are several trails by which visitors can explore this spectacular environment. The Rough Horsetail Nature Trail near the head of the canyon is particularly nice, and paved for the first stretch.
There are a few different campgrounds along the road on the canyon bottom. I stayed in the northernmost one, Canyon Campground. Sites here are large and beautifully shaded. There are no electric hookups, and only one water spigot near the entrance. There is a modern bathroom here with flushing toilets and running water, but it was a mess when I visited. The bathrooms down the road at the Walnut Creek group picnic area are older but were in better condition. (They had signs up that read "closed for the season" but were wide open... go figure).
This park has other amenities, including a camp store and swimming pool, but these were closed when I visited due to damage from recent heavy rains.
Awesome surroundings, incredible hikes, broken pool, showers and toilets were very rough but worked well.
Trees at site, a grill, picnic table. 2 shower and bathhouses both far from site. Lovely creek behind us.
Worth it for the hikes, sites, and views. All awesome. Best of all were the endless wildflowers on the ridge hike.
Dump station but water hookups and electric. Sites are close to one another but not cramped.
Verizon and ATT worked well!
Came for pool, it was out of commission. When I asked about it they gave a half refund, this wa very appreciated! Nice staff too.
We stayed on site 7 at “Sandy Beach”
We had fantastic neighbors and a great view of the lake.
Unfortunately the bathrooms/showers were the worst of our four stops on this journey. They were pretty bad.
Additionally, our shoreline power went out overnight too. Thus, we leaned on the generator to get us through the 100 degree night.
Had a great time for Memorial weekend. I will say that our neighbors had about 8 dogs between them and never kept them on leashes. Park rangers came around but never said anything. The site we stayed at had the hookups on the opposite side.
Weird man by himself driving around the camp area. Parked and approached after dark, seemed a little off and had trouble getting him to leave. Ask us to turn off our head lamps, don't need em he said. Finally got him outta there when we headed to car for cc items and opened our phones up Sent park an email, no direct response. Hope they keep that vagrant out of there.
Very quiet no one was there very nice looking area
Sites are good. Everything is paved which is nice. Lots of cool trails to hike, albeit not well marked. Very cool spot. Highly recommend.
This was my last stop on a 2 week road trip and it was a cool find close OKC. After spending a couple hours driving through TX and OK, this spot doesn’t even feel like Oklahoma. It gets very hot during the day but the canyon tent sites have a good amount of shade and are a lot cooler. There are also some great walking trails since it used to be a State Park.
Where we camped it was walking distance from the lake. The "campsite parentals" were awesome people. Our site didn't have a fire ring, so we had to ask, which was delayed in getting to us due to an accident on the lake, BUT when they did bring it down, the "campsite parentals" and the conservation agent stayed with us and kept our camping site lit with their cart lights to help with us putting up our tents at dark. So friendly and can't wait to visit again.
Stayed at the Sandy Beach Campground first weekend in August for my birthday. Enjoyed the spot we had; lots of room. Couple things to mention for improvement. Would like to see the trees maintained a bit better. In our campsite, there was a fallen tree and the standing trees were overgrown and had lots of dead branches. View of the lake was very obscured. Secondly, if you're arriving after sundown, it's pitch black and the signage into the Sandy Beach area is not good. We weren't familiar with that area and it took about an hour to find our spot and get settled. Other than that, it's awesome!
