Best Campgrounds near Elk City, OK

It is smaller lake, some ducks and geese. Has a few awnings with tables and grills and fire rings. Plenty of wood from the piles surrounding the site. It has a toilet vault. No running water. The time I am here I only saw one guy fishing. No campers. At least yet.

A well maintained park lots of shaded sites, picnic tables are the best. Views of the mountain are great. Bathhouse and toilets are new in most sites.

This location is an Oklahoma Wildlife Management Area, not Great Plains State Park. These coordinates get you close to the road where the WMA begins. Look for the OK WMA sign and turn. The road gets rough and has low hanging limbs that will hit tall vehicles. You can get close to the Tom Steed Reservoir with some decent views. Quiet and secluded.

Nice, clean state park with a handful of level, paved sites overlooking the lake. Probably better suited for RVs than our truck top tent. No trees or shrubs between sites so your neighbors can see everything. There is a road on the other side of the lake so you will see cars all night but it’s not obtrusive. Bathhouse is a good distance from the campsites so another reason it’s probably best for RVs. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Not a destination but a nice stopover on a cross country trip.

A nicely maintained free public camping & recreation area on a small lake in the Black Kettle and McClellan Creek National Grasslands. There are tables in various locations between the parking area and the lake. Some tables are next to the parking area. There are no signs prohibiting car camping. I stayed in my van in the parking area at night and utilized a fire pit and table next to the parking area. It was peaceful. I first attempted the dispersed area across the lake and though it seems alot more interesting .. the roads were muddy deep sandy dirt in some areas and my van seems to get stuck easily. Nothing amazing other than it's a usfs campgrounds and it's still free !

This is a very large rest area. They have a dog park that is nice. The bathrooms are clean. The lighting is good at night. Overall, very nice place to stop.

Went for a short trip in late November and it was wonderful, did 3 nights of tent camping and fishing.

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.

The roads a little rough but it’s free with great views

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.

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.

 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.

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.

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
