Many campgrounds in this region can accommodate extended-stay campers with monthly rates often available at significantly discounted prices compared to nightly fees.
What to do
Lake activities at Oologah Lake: Many RVers staying near Collinsville make the short drive to Oologah Lake for fishing and boating. Winganon RV park provides a convenient base for anglers. "This is a great spot for a fishing getaway or to have a base for seeing the local sights. There is a cafe/store on-site with good meal offerings and minimal supplies. Lake access for boats is available within 5 minutes drive," notes one visitor.
Cultural attractions: The area houses several museums worth visiting. "Within walking distance there's the expo center (you can go in and pet horses) and a Rec center with a pool. You can go to Will Rogers Museum, JM Davis fun museum, RSU has a nice little hiking trail as does the Lake," reports a reviewer about Claremore Expo RV Park.
Walking trails: Several parks connect to paved paths for exercise. "There's a paved walking trail right next to the campground that is well maintained and leads to the campgrounds dog park. Dog park is clean and spacious," mentions a camper who stayed at Riverside RV Park.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Visitors consistently praise parks with well-maintained bathrooms and showers. "The facilities are absolutely incredible. The nicest bathrooms I've seen on my cross country trip. A little pricey at $67 per night, but they make it worth it with the excellent facilities," shares a guest at Honcho RV Park.

Access to the Expo rec center is nice and our kids had a lot of fun in the pool. The really enjoyed the climbing wall and diving board!" mentions a visitor at Claremore Expo RV Park.
What you should know
Varying noise levels: Some parks experience significant noise from nearby transportation. "It's in the middle of town so there is plenty of road and train noises, but that didn't bother us too much. It's a decent spot to stay if you are just passing through or visiting town," reports a camper at Claremore Expo.
Variable maintenance: Park upkeep can differ considerably. "This is a great location for RVers that want the conveniences and/or are wanting to see the local area. However, there is nothing fancy about this park and it needs some regular maintenance (playground grass and weeds have grown up)," notes a visitor.
Limited amenities at some locations: Not all parks offer full services. "Absolutely nothing here as far as amenities. It's only good if you want to catch some sleep or grab a bite at their little cafe area," cautions a reviewer about Winganon RV park.
Tips for camping with families
Pool access: Look for parks with swimming facilities during summer visits. "The pool was pristine, laundry room and bathrooms very clean. We had full hook ups. We stayed right on the river and watched the deer come down and drink every day. It was amazing," shares a family who stayed at Riverside RV Park.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Some parks offer nature experiences despite urban settings. "We stayed right on the river and watched the deer come down and drink every day. It was amazing," mentions a visitor to Riverside RV Park.
Look beyond traditional campsites: Understand some RV parks primarily serve events rather than vacation campers. "This is a great place for Rv's but it's not for camping. People stay here when there are events in town at the expo center such as huge horse shows, gun shows, the fair etc.," explains a reviewer at Expo Square RV Park.
Tips from RVers
Water pressure considerations: Bring equipment to regulate water flow at some parks. "Their water pressure is about 90 psi," notes a visitor about Riverside RV Park, highlighting the need for pressure regulators.
Site dimensions: Check space measurements before booking. "Site was very large, with enough room for our 35+ foot 5th wheel and F350. Pad is gravel and was level," reports a guest at My Green Country RV Park.
Specialized hookups: Some parks feature unique utility setups. "The water hookup is under the ground like a water meter location, and both my husband & myself have physical limitations that prevent us from getting on our knees to reach under the ground for hookups," warns a visitor at The RV Park at Keystone Lake.
