    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.

    Back in business! Great State Park!

    This park was turned back over to the state in 2020 and is exactly how I remembered it from the 80’s. Tucked down in southwest Oklahoma in the Wichita Mountains, it’s a small park but has LOTS of options. There are RV and tent Campgrounds, cabins, a very modern lodge with 96 rooms, group pavilions, and a dormitory. There’s a full restaurant, ORV trails, hiking trails, a river and a lake. Something for everyone.

    We stayed in the Mountain View campground which has concrete pads and didn’t have to level our rig at all. Electric and water and steps to the flush bathroom that has a shower in it. It backs up to the lake berm and has a view of one of the mountains. Not much cover but we didn’t need it as it was cloudy during our stay. LOTS of stickers. Beware especially if you have long haired dogs.

    Route 66 stop over

    This is a huge camping park, with lots of sites for RV’s with full hookups, partial hookups, and a seperate tent area. The bathhouse was really clean, with pay showers. There is a nice swim beach, great open fields for sport games, a nice playground, frisbee golf course, and supposedly a small herd of bison behind the visitor center that you can watch come in to feed daily (I missed that somehow). I didn’t feel like the RV sites were as on top of each other as they seem in other campgrounds I’ve been to. The tent sites were ok, with some on the lake with no shade, and others tucked in among a tight bunch of trees. All had the usual picnic tables and fire pits. This park is not too far off Hwy 40/Route 66, so it is a nice place to camp if you are travelling Old 66.

    Foss State Park

    We tent camped at Foss State Park in August 2020. We stayed at the Cottonwood campground site #6. All the tent sites were very spacious. There was a picnic table and grill and a water faucet nearby. The sites were nice and grassy and mowed. The bathroom was nice and clean with individual showers, each with their own door. So they were nice and private. Some of the old reviews mention needing quarters for the showers but they are now free. The playground was new and the kids had fun playing on it. The RV spots were a little crowded on the backside of the campground but pretty spread out closer to the entrance. We drove through the Sandy Beach campground and it seemed nice and secluded but the picnic tables were a little run down. The playground was really old too. But I think the bathroom was newer. Also, there was no sandy beach in this area. 🧐

    The swim beach was nice and sandy. Much better than a lot of Oklahoma lakes. But like most lakes in Oklahoma, the water was super muddy.

    There are two cabins for rent here. They looked pretty new as well. They have a marina and I believe you can rent boats but we never checked it out.

    Overall, I definitely recommend Foss. It was a nice family friendly park to visit.

    Stayed at Buffalo Bend

    I don’t know if it’s an Oklahoma thing but the wind was crazy making tent camping a little rough. I’m not used to what’re gnat like bug they have so plan accordingly they are attracted mostly to light but swarm both day and night. I wear a hat with a net so they don’t bother me. We were visited in our sleep by raccoons trying to get in our tent. The bathrooms have 2 shower stalls, one has a curtain and one has a low door so people can see in while you shower. If you need water bring a short hose the water options are wide open or dripping. The spaces are a good size and it is a nice clean place. Cell service is very limited going in and out of no service.

    Quiet, Well Groomed, Clean Bathrooms

    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.

    Beautiful scenery. Some details need work though

    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.

    Fabulous Birthday Trip

    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!

    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.

Located approximately 35 miles from Canute, these parks feature diverse accommodation options including campsites, RV hookups, and yurt camping. The terrain combines rolling plains with rocky outcroppings around water features, typical of western Oklahoma's mixed-grass prairie ecosystem.

What to do

Hiking at Quartz Mountain: Visitors can climb Quartz Mountain for panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. "We climbed Quartz Mountain on the first day. There is not a well marked trail, you just have to try and find the path of least resistance and not die. The view is well worth the hike," notes Janna R. at Quartz Mountain State Park.

Water recreation: Foss State Park provides multiple water-based activities with designated swimming areas. "This campground offers an area sectioned off for swimmers. A lot of room is available for boating fun whether it be fishing, skiing, tubing, etc," explains Colton K. who visited Foss State Park Campground.

Yurt camping options: For those interested in yurt camping near Canute, Oklahoma, Quartz Mountain offers these accommodations. "The park was turned back over to the state in 2020 and is exactly how I remembered it from the 80's. Tucked down in southwest Oklahoma in the Wichita Mountains, it's a small park but has LOTS of options," explains Jennifer O. at Quartz Mountain State Park Campground.

Helpful staff: The park personnel receive positive feedback for their assistance. "When we called the park to make a change, a very nice lady answered and took care of our issue. There are a lot of campgrounds that leave you to deal with an internet site...not here," shares Tom R. about his experience at Foss State Park.

What you should know

Weather conditions: Western Oklahoma experiences significant wind that can impact tent camping. "I don't know if it's an Oklahoma thing but the wind was crazy making tent camping a little rough. I'm not used to what're gnat like bug they have so plan accordingly," warns Anna M. from her stay at Quartz Mountain Nature Park.

Varying campsite quality: Facilities differ between camping areas within the same park. "Rv sites have great bath houses with toilets, a paved parking lot, and the showers are coin operated. Tent campers have unpaved roads along with a permanent building for the toilet provided and no showers. However, every tent site has a water spigot," explains Jo A. about Foss State Park.

Seasonal considerations: Visitation levels vary dramatically by season. "We camped in December, so we practically had the entire place to ourselves," notes Kristi D. about Quartz Mountain, contrasting with summer when "this place is cramped" according to another visitor.

Tips for camping with families

Special events: Foss State Park hosts family-friendly seasonal activities. "The park rangers do special events during the year like fireworks on the lake for the 4th of July, haunted trails and trick or treating for Halloween, some other events here and there year round," shares Colton K.

Recreation options: Family activities extend beyond traditional camping. "Take some cash they have peddle boats and kayaks you can rent and a little fun park with carnival type ride and water slides," suggests Sandra D. about her visit to Quartz Mountain State Park.

Bring appropriate gear: Weather and insects require preparation for family comfort. "We were visited in our sleep by raccoons trying to get in our tent," reports Anna M., emphasizing the need for secure food storage and proper tent setup when camping with children.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: RVers should consider location within each campground carefully. "We enjoyed the sites which were a bit further from the waterfront itself because they seem to have less noise from trucks with loud pipes," advises Crystal C. about Quartz Mountain.

Campsite features: RV sites offer various amenities depending on location. "Sites are pull through and big enough to fit a 40' fifth wheel. Electric/water and sewer hook ups are available as well as restrooms and showers," notes Janette M. from her stay at Foss State Park.

Accessibility: Some campgrounds accommodate large rigs better than others. "We had a 49 foot rig and the spots we picked worked out great," shares Tom R., indicating that Foss State Park can handle extended RV setups despite its somewhat remote location.
