Best Campgrounds near Chandler, OK

We called ahead and clearly explained we needed a full hookup site to test out our motorhome before a major trip. We were also told they had a playground and asked to be placed as close to it as possible. We confirmed that checkout was at 11 AM and were told if we needed a late checkout, it would be an additional$20.

 When we arrived, we were one of the only guests there, yet they still insisted on charging a late checkout fee. Even worse— the site they gave us had only 30 amp electric hookup— no water, no sewage hookup— despite what we were promised over the phone. The“playground” was a complete joke: no swings, no slides— just a small metal structure with a few steps. Nothing like what is pictured or advertised. When we asked for a refund because the site was not what we were promised, the older woman at the front desk laughed and said,“It’s raining, the kids can’t play anyway,” and refused to refund us. 

She offered a“credit toward a future stay,” which we obviously declined. There are only THREE sites in the entire park with full hookups, and they are right at the front gate next to the train tracks. As a military family(my husband is a disabled combat vet), it’s also worth noting they do not offer any military discount. Between the poor service, false advertising, and complete lack of accommodations, this place is wildly overpriced and absolutely not worth the three-hour drive we made to get there.

 0/10 recommend. Save your money and go somewhere else. We left and stayed down the road by Pier 51 instead— a much better experience.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The site had a spacious gravel pad, a sturdy picnic table on a concrete pad, a fire pit, a grill, and even a standing-height area that was perfect for setting up our camp kitchen—super convenient for outdoor cooking. It made it easy to just settle in and enjoy the space.

The view of the lake was beautiful, and the wildlife was pretty tame, which added a fun, close-to-nature vibe. Site 201 in particular had some great shade, which helped a lot during the warmer parts of the day.

If I had to nitpick, the only real downside was the lack of showers in the area we stayed. But honestly, if it’s hot out, it’s not the worst trade-off.

All in all, a solid campsite and we’d definitely come back!

I searched everywhere but everyone is more about making money, and then there are a few that are simply free(dry camping), first come fist serve I would guess. But we are head there now, and if we find a spot to pitch our tent for awhile, then I will update any review you need. On our way(FYI, we are disabled, seniors, and I am a Vetran on fixed income, thus cannot afford all these permits.). Try this place my friends!

While it is a nude resort (yes, we are lifelong nudists), this place has everything you need!

Two swimming pools, a very nice restaurant, tennis, pickleball, a wonderful office staff, recreation rooms a meeting hall and some really cool full time people.

Did it mention almost six miles of hiking trails? Yes, our dogs loved hiking here, the had a well marked system of signs telling you where you are in case you get turned around. 

For the single female adventurous types out there, my better 3/4ers was never concerned about creeps while out hiking on her own or in the rest of the park. One of the few nude resort out there.

Our att and verizon service worked very well.

We've stayed here between May and August several times

Weather: they have a huge variety of weather from beautiful calm and clear days to tornados.

Bugs: chiggers will leave red bite marks on your lower legs. Don't put insect repellent on your skin, just your shoes.

Ive been going to tent camp at olt for 9 years now, very welcomed by friendly staff. And have made life long friendships with others

Park hasn't seen investment in a while. We'll spaced sites. 30 Amp power was strong enough to run both of our air conditioners. Boat to sites at a few sites.

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

We came in and spent one night to see a music recital at OSU. This was the perfect location. The campground is very clean. The campsites are gravel with a strip of grass. It’s not camping in the woods but it’s a perfect setup for town. The restrooms and showers were very nice and clean. There was a gathering room with sofas and a big screen and then a conversation area out on the patio. Overall it was well worth the money. It even has on site laundry.

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.

We stayed here on our way out in December. For visitor center was quite nice and the staff quite friendly. We only stayed for a night but we had enough time to walk the trails close which were very nice. It seems there's more activities on the other side of the lake if that's what you want to do there's trails and multiple places to put in a boat and to tie it up closer to where you would stay.
