Guide
We booked a month stay here as my family is from Stillwater. We stayed during Dec-Jan, so there was no game day craziness. The park is small, in the smack middle of town, and has minimal amenities. But it’s within walking distance of campus, great food, and shopping options. We mainly appreciated the free laundry on site and the large shower rooms. There were no picnic tables, fire pits, or doggy bags/trash. There is no manager on site, at least not during the off-peak season. A bit pricey as the charge a flat rate plus electric usage. Significantly more expensive durning OSU events and games, so plan ahead!

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
ScoutThe grounds was very clean the bathrooms was totally clean easy to get to overall a great experience.
Ranger
The only reason I didn’t give this park five stars is it it’s right next to the interstate so there was quite a bit of freeway noise. Other than that the park is very well kept and maintained. The camp hosts were super nice. The bathrooms and showers were awesome. Full hook ups for a back in site for $40 per night. For being a RV park, the spaces were napart from each other. not right on top of each other like some parks are. This park also looks to have several full-time or seasonal residents.
ScoutLocated next to a lake, excellent spot for rv or tent sites. Staff is super friendly.

Mary Hope, owner of this clean and beautiful park, has created a living space here that is simply wonderful. My wife and I love this park and never want to leave! Special mention to park manager, Teri, because she's also a fantastic human being.
ScoutMy husband and I have been staying out here for the last few months and we just love it! The park is just beautiful and the owner is so kind. The manager is a gem too!
Scout
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.

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.
TravelerEast entrance has sites with no hookups for $20. Weather entrance has hookups for $25. Within park, but outside of campground are a handful of free, primitive sites. Small, but pleasant lake. Walking path, pier, and some grills and firepits along lakeshore, just past the Campground. Bathrooms and showers within campground, but are closed at night.
Guide
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.
Scout
Are the showers open today
Traveler
Nice little peninsula, watched the sun come up over the water. Quiet and flat camp spot.
RangerVery 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.
Scout
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.
GuideWe 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.
GuideArrived at about 1AM after we had some car trouble. Campground was great because you can pay 24/7 by filling out the envelope at the office and putting it in the drop box. Interstate noise is definitely loud but also heard an owl as we were laying it down. Bathrooms are really far away from the $20 spots and locked after 7 so relieve yourself at a gas station before you get there if you are tent/car camping. We stopped late February and had no issues finding a spot.
Scout
I'v not been there so I won't review or rate the campground but I searched the location on internet and Google Maps and be aware that the location given here is wrong. It's not located near El Reno but way way before Tulsa. I'm desappointed because the campground was exactly what I was looking for at El Reno.

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.
Legend
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.
LegendThe spots are nice and level in the bathrooms are well maintained. From here you can hop over to some mountain bike trails which will explore tomorrow. There is excellent cell service if you have Verizon so I get to work from here for a few days. Pretty much every spot has a great view of the lake. Every spot also has its own seeming little beachfront which is really quite cool. And I have to mention there's a laundromat that's very reasonably priced which I tried to see it earlier if it was here and that wasn't listed.
Legend
We're staying next door and decided to go over and see the campground. Part of it looks like it hasn't been used in a long long time and the rest is probably only open in the summer. There are modern bathrooms and showers and access to the lake but that's about all that's there. To get over to the rest of the campgrounds you actually need to go out on a pretty busy road.
LegendNice 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!
Ranger
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.
Scout
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.
Ranger
The designated campground is now closed to camping. We ended up staying at the boat ramp
TravelerLittle Axe Campground is a great Campground. Bathrooms are new and showers work great and spacious. Lot of campsites on the water so you can beach your boat.
