      Rolling Stone Stables and RV park

      Hidden gem with horses

      Rolling Stones stables & RV Park is tucked away in the woods, off the beaten path. Staff is friendly and helpful. Has a large dog park area, with trails and a small lake to explore. Lots of wildlife.

      Mustang Run RV Park

      Great campground

      We were traveling through and stopped for a couple of nights to visit family. It’s a wonderful park that fit our needs because it was close to our family. Concrete pull through and back ins were level and spacious. Small pool and had several areas to walk our dog. Also a small off lead dog park. Laundry room was nice and very clean $2 to wash and $1.50 to dry. We absolutely loved the park. The only exception is the road noise. The interstate is within sight which does make it easy on and off, but also for some road noise. But we would definitely stay again because that’s the only con for us.

      Six days of great

      The people here are very nice and helpful. We stayed at this park for 6 days waiting for our new hitch to get there and everything was great. The bath house is very nice and there’s a great playground and dog park. I’m very happy we decided to pull in.

      Rockwell RV Park

      🐃 🐃 🐃

      Plenty of spaces with full hookups, cable/wifi, but spaces are close together. No fire ring. We asked to change our site and they accommodated us. Friendly staff with small store. They have small, but nicely maintained dog park. They have live buffalo, too! Pool, jacuzzi, laundry, and bathhouse.

      Busy campground with excellent management

      Beautiful campground with plenty of amenities at a great price. The spaces were a good size to fit our 45’ toyhauler with 2 vehicles (and put the back patio down). There are a fair bit of trees, so big rigs use caution pulling into spaces.

      Nice playground for the kids, pool was closed (opens Memorial Day to Labor Day), dog park is large and very well shaded. Laundry room is very clean and well kept.

      Approximately 20-30 minutes from OKC zoo & science museum.

      Overall wonderful stay with no complaints.

      Mustang Run RV Park

      Excellent RV Park

      This RV Park is very very nice. It sits right beside the highway, so there is quite a bit of traffic noise, but other than that, This RV park is top of the line. I generally prefer a more rural setting, but we came to OKC to visit friends and found this gem. The parking spaces are wide and easy to get in and out of. Of course full hook ups with 50 amp service. There was cable TV, with lots of channels (a luxury we have not experienced on our three month journey). The cell service was good here (AT&T), and the park wifi worked better here than any other place we’ve stayed. It is Springtime here in Oklahoma City, so that means tornado season. Not my favorite thing - torrential rains, hail, wind, thunder, lightening, and every bodies favorite - tornadoes! We stayed here for a week, and nearly every night we had buckets of rain. We were glued to the news channels a couple of nights in fear of golfball sized hail, or worse - the dreaded tornado! This Was V park has 4 or 5 underground shelters, which is somewhat of a comfort. The dog park here is good. They have trash pick up service everyday- you just put your bag out by your camper and they come pick it up. While here, we went to the Bombing Memorial. I would definitely come back - just not in the Spring!

      Rockwell RV Park

      Ok

      Staff was friendly but the wifi is so unstable I couldn't stay connected. Spaces are very close and gravel. Not in the best part of town and a little sketchy. It was ok overall, but overpriced for what you get. Half the washers and dryers weren't working and the machines were dirty. The little dog park was nice but not well kept, and the playground area seemed more like junk storage. No buffalo, but I think that's a good thing because the pen they were kept in seemed really small. I'd stay there again in a pinch, but not proactively. I hope they improve on some things so I can change my mind.

      Lake Thunderbird State Park - Rose Rock RV Campground

      Last Resort

      Camp sites are very close together. Bathrooms are in a serious need of an update. Lake is about half a mile away from campground. There are little stickers everywhere that get into your pets fur and gets trapped in carpets forcing you to trash any rugs. Picnic tables are on the back side of the camp site to impossible to use.


    Guide to Choctaw

    Camping near Choctaw offers accessible options within a 30-minute drive of Oklahoma City's eastern edge. The area sits at approximately 1,200 feet elevation with hot summers reaching 90°F and mild winters. Most campgrounds remain open year-round with seasonal variations in water availability during winter months when overnight temperatures can drop below freezing.

    What to do

    Water activities at Arcadia Lake: Visitors can enjoy swimming at designated areas and boating across the 6,000-acre lake. "Lake activities and hiking are available. While it's close to the city, it feels far away," notes Angela H. about Arcadia Lake.

    Fishing opportunities: Multiple piers and lake access points allow fishing throughout the region. "We had a blast at Lake Arcadia as our last camping spot of the year. We loved being close to the lake and the people were very helpful," shares Juelie H., highlighting the accessible shoreline.

    Indoor recreation options: For rainy days, some campgrounds offer indoor facilities. "They have a decent indoor pool, buffalo in an enclosure, and laundry facilities," explains Bret N. about Rockwell RV Park, providing alternatives when weather doesn't cooperate.

    What campers like

    Privacy between sites: Several campgrounds offer natural barriers between camping spots. "Picnic tables and fire pits. Walking distance to the beautiful lake. Fairly private site lots of trees between each," writes Madison P. about Arcadia Lake.

    Convenient access to urban amenities: The proximity to Oklahoma City provides easy access to shopping and attractions. "Approximately 20-30 minutes from OKC zoo & science museum," notes Rachel P. about Oklahoma City East KOA.

    Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention well-maintained bathhouses at several locations. "The bathrooms were nice and clean. I wanted to take a shower but changed my mind. Located in a nice forest," reports Shawn about Wes Watkins Reservoir.

    What you should know

    Weather preparedness: Oklahoma's unpredictable weather requires planning. "Did some car winter camping and enjoyed it! No one else at the tent camping sites," shares Joyce S. about winter conditions at Wes Watkins Reservoir.

    Site selection tips: Some campgrounds have significant differences between sites. "We looked at some other areas where you were so far from the water you wouldn't even know you were at a lake. The site was level and had a nice picnic table out near the water," advises Jil S. about Little Axe — Lake Thunderbird State Park.

    Water quality considerations: Water quality varies between campgrounds. "Water was brown, but we have a Berkey filter, so it wasn't a problem for us. I wouldn't be happy if we didn't have the Berkey. Use your inline filters here!" cautions Tashi K. about Oklahoma City East KOA.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play areas for children. "Nice playground for the kids, pool was closed (opens Memorial Day to Labor Day), dog park is large and very well shaded," mentions Rachel P. about pet friendly camping accommodations near Choctaw.

    Beach areas for children: Look for campgrounds with designated swimming areas. "Sandy beach area, sandy & walkable around lakes edge. Bathrooms & showers were like new & very clean," reports Christle C. about Little Axe at Lake Thunderbird.

    Family safety features: Some campgrounds offer extra security measures. "They have storm shelters on site," notes Amy D., highlighting safety infrastructure that matters for families camping with children.

    Tips from RVers

    Site leveling requirements: Be prepared for variable site conditions. "Sites are close together, but level. We can usually fit our 38' camper plus our tow with no issues," explains Daniel L. about Roadrunner RV Park.

    Hookup positioning challenges: Sewer connections may require extensions at some locations. "Some sites have sewer hookups toward the far rear with a slight incline, so it may take an extension or 2 pending your rig and some imagination," Daniel L. continues, providing practical advice for pet-friendly camping near Choctaw.

    Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects different campgrounds. "Even with being off a main road and lots of other campers the park was nice and quiet. We stayed in a pull thru spot so easy to get in and out of," reports Amy D., noting that location doesn't always correlate with noise levels.
