    Foss State Park Campground

    Beautiful autumn view

    Because of the time of year, it was very quiet. Nice lake view. Our site had a beautiful tree—Heritage Pear. Bathrooms are not convenient. It was quite the hike from the camping area.

    Foss State Park Campground

    Quiet, Well Groomed, Clean Bathrooms

    Nice 4 day stop! Great place to walk the pups, enjoy the peace and quiet, and listen to the water and the wind. We stayed at Sandy Beach in site 001. It was a fantastic spot! Bathrooms were clean. Electric and water hookups were great, and the dump station was in good working order. Not many other guests were there. The staff was really nice on the phone. My only note for improvement is related to a good amount of litter in the bushes and some bottle tops and zip ties at our camp site. I'm sure it's hard for the staff to keep up with. If guests were more conscious of their trash, it would make the world a better place, but that can be said of many places.

    Cedar Point Campground, Foss State Park, OK

    Foss Lake Cedar point nice!

    Nice with many pull thru level sites. A few back ins. Wonder Lake view. Full hook ups. Shower house was a pay shower. Concrete patio areas with newer picnic tables and nice fire pits. Has a marina open seasonally. The soil is a red clayish dirt but the lake was clear. Has Frisbee Golf and a play ground. The play ground needs a bit of TLC. We are here in Sept and only two other campers here.

    Sayre City Park Campground

    Great for a pull off the interstate

    Everything that is said is spot on.   Convenient for an overnight pull off when you are putting on the miles down the interstate.   $12 per night, honor system.   Electric was fine at our site.   A bit confusing following Apple Maps in.   Brough us in through the exit, late at night.  Didnt find the pull throughs which were nicer, (fewer goat heads).   Showers were too sketchy for me to indulge and that says something.   Really nice city park for that morning or evening walk to get the kinks out.

    Air conditioned restrooms!

    I booked a site at the Buffalo Bend Campground in Foss SP while traveling on Highway 40. The park is a little bit far from the highway but a pretty drive. We were in site BB002 which had decent privacy. Unfortunately, it was a very hot and humid day but we were pleasantly surprised by the air-conditioned bathrooms. I’ve been camping a lot, but that was a first! The area in Buffalo Bend did not have views of the lake and there was no breeze but the bathrooms had clean showers.

    Beautiful Sunsets

    We stayed 2 nights in the Cedar Point section of this huge campground. Our site, CP003, had a great view of the lake and the gorgeous sunset over the lake.  The sites were level, but offered no privacy due to the closeness of the sites and no vegetation coverage between them.

    The bathhouse was quite a distance from the campsites.  The showers were individual rooms with an adequate number of wall hooks to keep personals off the floor. The water flow in my shower was weak and lukewarm.  My husband said that his shower was the best ever with very hot water and strong water flow!  The bathhouse interior could use a new coat of paint.

    The campground was well-maintained with plenty of open areas for activities, including disc golf.

    Quiet and free!

    We spent a lovely three nights here, we were the only ones camping although a huge family did come and have a sprawling Easter picnic on one of the days. Camping area is pretty bootleg but has everything you need, just watch out for mice and ticks. I was thrilled to find somewhere so quiet that had pit toilets and water and walking trails, and our dogs were happy about a campsite where no one else was around.

    Elk City-Clinton KOA

    Easy Access of I-40 but very loud traffic noise...

     The KOA was easy to find, easy to check in. The cell signal was good (AT&T) and the wi-fi was acceptable - about 8 MB dl speed and 1 MB upload. I was a ways away from the main building - site #52.

     The restaurant / bar closed at 5 pm but it's February, so there's that. If you are looking for easy access and don't mind traffic noise it's fine. The sites aren't very large but plenty for my Jeep and Pop-up camper. They were nice and level.

     The showers / restroom was very clean. I didn't make use of the laundry facility.

    Cedar Point Campground, Foss State Park, OK

    I stayed here two years ago

    And was the only person in the park that evening. Just a stop on a trip. Really nice campground with extensive trail system. You can hear lots of owls and coyotes at night. Not much to stop the wind but I'm not sure it gets very cold here either.

    Foss State Park Campground

    Stayed at Mouse Creek

    This is the equestrian campground and it has 17 miles of trails connected to it. There's both a number of spots for RVs and some beautiful spots down by the lake for tents. And the only one here almost nobody has driven through I can hear the road but pretty much have had the place to myself which has been very nice. The trail is really just a mode grass pack but you can bike on it and you can walk on it and there's some evidence of horses I'm not sure how much use this part of it gets. Bathrooms and showers are great and available I would definitely stop back again if I'm coming through this way.

    Quiet, scenic campground in OKw

    We stayed here for two nights while making our way back from CA to NC. It is end of Nov. So the campground is super quiet and only a handful of people camping at the multiple campgrounds

    Back in business! Great State Park!

    This park was turned back over to the state in 2020 and is exactly how I remembered it from the 80’s. Tucked down in southwest Oklahoma in the Wichita Mountains, it’s a small park but has LOTS of options. There are RV and tent Campgrounds, cabins, a very modern lodge with 96 rooms, group pavilions, and a dormitory. There’s a full restaurant, ORV trails, hiking trails, a river and a lake. Something for everyone.

    We stayed in the Mountain View campground which has concrete pads and didn’t have to level our rig at all. Electric and water and steps to the flush bathroom that has a shower in it. It backs up to the lake berm and has a view of one of the mountains. Not much cover but we didn’t need it as it was cloudy during our stay. LOTS of stickers. Beware especially if you have long haired dogs.

    A good stopover for the night

    Nice owners/managers, place is a little dated, but relatively clean. Highway noise is a constant. Has storm shelters available when needed. Gravel pull-throughs, mostly level.

    Foss State Park Campground

    Wow wow wow!

    It was the only not free campsite we camped at on our two week trip with new sites every night. I have no complaints in any way shape or form about the camp so it 100% gets five stars from me. Only complaint is about the website and the map offered on the website. Completely unhelpful and poorly designed. In this time of technology that is accessible to everyone, you NEED to update your forums. But that’s enough from me. This was my second favorite campsite during my trip across nine states and fourteen campsites. And it’s definitely top three of all time.

    Nice tavern

    Very friendly staff made us feel right at home. We enjoyed dinner and drinks at the tavern and it was lovely. Clean bathrooms and laundry room. The pool was also great. The playground can use some updating.

    Black Kettle Campground

    Quiet Beautiful Stay

    This spot is a hidden gem! Very quiet and peaceful. There were a few other people there the night we stayed but definitely still plenty of room to spread out from one another and still have your own private space. We originally planned to stay at spring creek but we got there late in the evening and all the spots had already been claimed. To be fair there was only 3 spots so not many to choose from but would have definitely preferred to stay at the one. But either options are excellent choices!

    Great place to camp!

    They pretty much had all the essentials! Electric, water, and a place to dump & trash bins close. Swimming pool to cool off. Which was nice since it got up to 108 degrees just today. A couple of small ponds to boot!👍
