    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.

    Air conditioned restrooms!

    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.

    Easy access- ridiculously close to neighbors

    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.).

    Nice surprise!

    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.

    Beautiful Sunsets

    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.

    And was the only person in the park that evening. Just a stop on a trip. Really nice campground with extensive trail system. You can hear lots of owls and coyotes at night. Not much to stop the wind but I'm not sure it gets very cold here either.

    Stayed at Mouse Creek

    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.

    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.

    Wow wow wow!

    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.

    Very nice sites next to lake

    We stayed in site 11 in the Cedar Point RV loop. Lovely site overlooking Foss Lake. Very quiet area. Lots of lawn area and we loved having a pull-through site . People out early fishing on the lake. Lots of nice picnic areas and a frisbee golf course. Nice shade trees. We saw a flock of Snow Geese fly over last evening and could hear coyotes yipping in the distance. Some sites here are pull-through and some are back-in. We highly recommend.

    Very safe and convenient

    Owners are very nice and there are cute cows nearby. 2 “tent” sites (with water/outlets) that are perfect if you’re looking for a safe place to sleep in your car/truck. They only charged me $10 since I wasn’t planning to use the showers. Lots of families and older couples in the RV spots even in February plus thoughtfully placed lighting made it feel very safe. Small enough that it’s pretty quiet. The main building is very clean and has several toilets/showers and coin op laundry machines. Very strong Verizon signal plus decent wifi.

    Red Rock Canyon Adventure Park

    Probably Fine For RVs, But My Experience Wasn't Great

    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.

    Clean and Convenient Campground

    Arrived late after the office was classed. They were nice to leave me a flyer and information with my name on it on the office door. Facilities were clean and nice. I was in site 2 the only site that wasn’t gravel mine was all grass. Wasn’t a problem for me. Hook ups all good. GPS and emailed directions were accurate.

    Wonderful

    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.

    Great for Overnighg

    Super friendly, right off the highway, clean and shady spots. It is still very hot so the shade is key!

    We really enjoyed this campsite. Lots of trees and grass. Since sites are on different levels, most everyone has a good view of the lake. Sites are not too close and are at an angle, which makes it more private.
