      OK TREEHOUSE

      - Private IN CITY eco-friendly TREEHOUSE camp stay in Certified Wildlife Garden.

      - Recharge, Reset or Create in our 100% upcycled, freegan, woman built handcrafted Treehouse! Made entirely of reclaimed lumber and supplies with a tin roof in Oklahoma City.

      * No Cleaning Fees!

      - OK Treehouse is also booked by searching Ok treehouse Airbnb and is a tiny but mighty installation art experience!

      The space

      Simple restful Artisan retreat for ONE (or two snugglers ) in a Treehouse located in Full Shade Certified Wildlife Habitat Garden.

      **The upper Treehouse Treetop sleeping level is a SMALL one-room space only 64 sq. feet interior plus the upper deck. There is one double bed SET WITH ONLY SHEETS and one blanket plus full electricity which allows for very comfortable sleeping and just hanging out. There is a superfan for warm weather and a small electric heater for cooler evenings…there is NO central air conditioning or heat! The walls do not have insulation in them. Air flows in and out with randomness.

      **The Flipside ROOT level area of the TREEHOUSE is much larger with decks Outside Open To The Elements. There is a covered bench area, outside table and chairs, outside lounge chair, outdoor kitchenette (sink, two-burner stove, and basic cooking supplies) and there is a community art project in progress for u to add to if u wish. There is also a CEDAR Outdoor Shower and camping toilet area. (Hot steamy water when temps are above freezing only. For sure NOT in JanFebMarch which is our only winter here in Oklahoma)

      See notes in pictures for more details.

      **There is a large fire pit that can be lit After Dark, firewood to burn, string lights that fill the yard, Hula hoops, and an adult-sized see-saw!

      **Treehouse is located in a residential neighborhood and backs up to a pond where wildlife critters can be viewed as long as you never go over there not ever. Goose ❤Swan love story happening over there.

      **If you are looking for a unique space that is peaceful and quiet (or being part of a creative community) you will enjoy staying with us and we will enjoy hosting you! Our family of artists also lives on the property and we are very respectful of your privacy while also being on hand in case you might need anything else.

      The space is filled with an eclectic array of tiny oddities left behind by fellow travelers. Bring one of your to add to the collection!

      **The root level decks can not be seen from our house. We can not see into the TREEHOUSE. Private entrance through the side gate into our backyard is where the TREEHOUSE is located.

      **Created in 2015, OK Treehouse has grown and changed into what you see today. All is 100% recycled/upcycled: (except for the bed cuz that's gross!) The lumber, paints, screws, tin roof, yard art, kitchen, windows, fabrics, and doors sent to the curb for the trash man, left behind to fill another landfill. All recreated into what it is today. Even all the landscaping!

      ** Please make sure that you are physically capable of using steep ladder stairs repeatedly. The entire Area is USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! By booking here you have acknowledged this!

      ** The nighttime is the right time! Check-in is not until 6 PM and check-out is at 10 AM.. . If you are traveling from far away and would like to leave your bag here until check-in time, we can do that.

      If you are in need of more than one night's stay: You must book nights Separately and not be in the Treehouse during the daytime hours of 10am to 6pm ( but yes u can leave all ur things)

      **No cigarette smoking in the upper treetop level of Treehouse. No parties! Quiet always. No pets as BabyKitty loves and lives here and just might hang out with you the entire time. Please no service animals as BabyKitty has PTSD dog issues.

      **Firepits don't light when it has been raining. No there is not a TV. Leaves aren't on trees in the winter. Ladybugs, Bees, and other crawlie or flying things are beautiful creatures. My garden is a polinator-friendly Certified Wildlife Habitat. No, It does not rain inside the treehouse. Yes, we are 5 blocks off of Rt 66 and you will hear the highway cuz we are right in the middle of the city- especially when there are no leaves on the trees. Ducks at the neighbor's pond quack all night long, random dogs bark, singing birds will wake you in the morning and coolers only have food and ice in them if you bring that all yourself.

      ** If you like the outdoors, mother nature, and all of her creatures – then this is for you. If the sight of a bug has you running and screaming – this is not for you. If you need an air-tight temperature-controlled space – this is not for you. If you want to slow down, breathe in the fresh air – then this is for you.

      **Thanks so much for helping support our mission of Reducing, Recycling, and Recreating the world by providing a low-cost alternative to high-priced stuffy lodging.

      **COVID-19 adjustments: Outdoors seems to be the safest place to be these days when needing to get away.

            Great RV place

            I really do love this RV place and it’s convenient because we are big gamblers for WinStar so it’s very close and it’s not noisy like at WinStar so the owners are very respectable very sweet. I would recommend this.

            Well managed, pleasant

            This KOA is an excellent choice for visiting Oklahoma City. Check in was quick and friendly. It was easy to get to downtown, yet the traffic noise was never an issue. Anything you need is nearby. We liked our site, it was level and the utilities great. The bathroom/showers were very clean and there was plenty of hot water. The maintenance was good throughout. Solid KOA.

            Not very pleasant.

            Stayed the night prior to a bass tournament. I was surprised to see weeds overgrown in the camp areas, the shoreline is covered in tall weeds. The fire rings were trashed and grill mostly unusable. Loud trucks and cars made it very noisy. Evidently there isn’t a speed limit or anyone out there enforcing any laws. I will return to fish but it’s not worth camping at. Cell service is very unreliable.

            Abandoned

            This once cool camping lake looks unattractive and not taking care of of. Weeds in campgrounds, fire pits full of trash and grills all broken. There is no longer any personnel or workers living in the area. You are basically on your own with no Patrols or Law Enforcement. Loud people kept us up all night and we left early. Go elsewhere. Not family friendly anymore.

            Peaceful springtime camp spot

            Very pleasantly surprised by this campground. Has everything you need for pretty cheap ($11 for tent/no hookup) including bathrooms, tables, trash, water and more. Only one other car on a weeknight in April, so very quiet and peaceful. Bathrooms were kind of gross but I expect that’s due to visiting in a shoulder season.

            Poorly Planned

            Campsites are very close together. There is no picnic table and the fire grate things were all bent and not usable.

            Trails poorly marked

            It is beautiful out here but if more people had been out camping I hate to think how loud and crowded it would have been.

            Very nice under the trees with trails

            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.

            Quiet spot near the lake

            Nice campspots as we are passing through Oklahoma, near Norman and restaurants/grocery stores. Quiet with decent shower and bathrooms.

            The spot we found was level, but has pulled into the spot next door first and it was not very level. You can't beat the price for $26 a spot for electric. They also don't tack on non-resident fees like some states wish is appreciated. Tourism brings additional money into the state. Thank you!

            Clean, Quiet and cost friendly

            We were here for a 3-day stop to visit friends. It has been around for some time right off Route 66. The staff were friendly, and we were given our choice of where to camp. Our spot was a pull-through, not completely level, but that wasn't a problem for us. The campground was clean and very comfortable. The only downside is the red dirt that is easy to track into your camper, Its Oklahoma.

            Fun in the Sun

            Came to Keystone State Park for a camping weekend and I am pleased with the Park and facilities. We got there a little late, around 10 pm and it was l little hard to find out site because the numbers were hard to find for the campsites. Thankfully some nice people showed us where our site was. After getting to our site I was a little shocked at how close all the sites are to each other. We did however have the nicest of camp neighbors so that was no issue for us. It was Labor Day weekend so the site was fully booked. The bathrooms were the nicest, cleanest bathrooms from a campsite I have ever seen so that was definitely a plus! We came to swim and I am so happy that it was very easy to get to the water from the campsite. There were also grills closer to the water that we took advantage of while watching the beautiful sunset. The electric boxes were closed to where you put your tent so we only had to use one of the extension cords we brought. Our site was missing the fire ring but there were rocks in it's place. Overall we had a fantastic time at this campsite and would definitely come back!

            Good time

            Lake Standly Draper was a good place to see if I could solo camp at my age of 63??? I love the peace and tranquility feeling went after Labor Day and did a lot of fishing(no luck). Learned about myself and made some decisions on my next stage of life.

            Nasty bathrooms, beautiful views, dirty sites

            This campground has a lot of potential. The sites are large and have beautiful views although they’re not very private. However, the site I was in (11) was covered with trash and cigarette butts. The bathrooms were a pretty good walk away and we’re your classic disgusting pit toilets. That being said, it was relatively quiet except for the occasional atv across the water, and the views are beautiful.

            Beautiful, near lake, but unleveled, water too far

            The site #22 is beautiful. Right near the water, quiet. But, the park didn't have a map so we weren't sure where the site was. Also, once we found the site, finding a semi-balance space was atrocious. Took us an hour of back and forth. Finally, the water was too far- 75 ft - really?! We didn't have water pipe that long so had to fill the tank, then come back to the site.

            Hostile long-term campers on site - beware

            Arrived on a Sunday. Moved to a new site Monday for a long, 3 week stay. 

            On Tuesday morning, while walking my dog around the park, was verbally accosted by a long-term camper (onsite for 2 years, per management) because my dog pooped on his grass. Picked up the poop, apologized and moved on. Gentleman came back out (apparently after watching the video he had) and followed me. Move verbal abuse. 

            Short-term camper drinking coffee asked me what was going on. Explained and she told the gentleman to"chill out- he picked up the poop". He verbally abused her. 

            This was reported to the front office when they opened. Was supposed to be passed on to the manager. My wife, dog and I went to the office a half hour after the manager got in to discuss the situation. He hadn't been briefed by the person taking the report yet.

            The manager swore that this gentleman was a loner, kept to himself and"wanted to be left alone". My question - if he"wanted to be left alone", why in the world would he follow me to continue the verbal abuse? And why in the world would he verbally abuse someone not involved in the issue? 

            We decided to leave. Worried about the safety for my wife, dog and self. Management would not return our money - park policy. They care more about the money than the safety and security of their clients.

            Poorly managed dump that is also dangerous to you, your vehicles, and your pets

            Our dog was attacked Sunday 5/28/2023! The irresponsible owner and dogs are still on the property. The manager told us that is was “between us and them”. Also, there is an employee that lives on site that as far as I could tell does nothing but gets drunk and then drives his pos beat up truck through the campground like an idiot. Spins his tires and slings gravel everywhere. So if walking your pup “at your own risk” or having your expensive rig and/or tow vehicle slapped with gravel sounds like a good time to you then this place is right up your alley. Just do yourself a favor and take your money elsewhere.

            Dripping Springs Campground

            Got there the Friday before Memorial Day Weekend but didn't go out there until Saturday before and I was too late for the campsites among the trees. I was in the overflow camping, nice spots but no trees taller than 6 feet, It wasn't a deal breaker because the temp never got above 75 degrees. The people that watched the place were pleasant, the park was clean and the showers and restrooms were clean but showed their age, just like me. One very small bar on my Verizon iPhone 12 but I managed to Facetime when I wanted. The campground commander had ice but that was about all. It was 11 to 14 miles to the grocery store on 5th Street or the Walmart a bit further south on US 75. It is a first come, first serve kinda place. If you call and there is a place, you have to put something on the pad or it is still up for rental. I enjoyed myself and another trip there isn't out of the question.
