    Foss State Park Campground

    Foss State Park

    We tent camped at Foss State Park in August 2020. We stayed at the Cottonwood campground site #6. All the tent sites were very spacious. There was a picnic table and grill and a water faucet nearby. The sites were nice and grassy and mowed. The bathroom was nice and clean with individual showers, each with their own door. So they were nice and private. Some of the old reviews mention needing quarters for the showers but they are now free. The playground was new and the kids had fun playing on it. The RV spots were a little crowded on the backside of the campground but pretty spread out closer to the entrance. We drove through the Sandy Beach campground and it seemed nice and secluded but the picnic tables were a little run down. The playground was really old too. But I think the bathroom was newer. Also, there was no sandy beach in this area. 🧐

    The swim beach was nice and sandy. Much better than a lot of Oklahoma lakes. But like most lakes in Oklahoma, the water was super muddy.

    There are two cabins for rent here. They looked pretty new as well. They have a marina and I believe you can rent boats but we never checked it out.

    Overall, I definitely recommend Foss. It was a nice family friendly park to visit.

    Flying W Guest Ranch

    Unique stay off the beaten path but convenient to I40

    Let’s face it– there are not a lot of camping options as you traverse your way across Oklahoma! We typically do not enjoy RV parks that are right on the highway and look for any place that might be unique (and quieter). Flying W Guest Ranch fits the bill. It is less than 10 miles off I40 between the small town of Sayre and the slightly larger one of Elk City. The ranch serves as a wedding venue and also, the Sayre Junior and Senior Prom was recently held there. There is a small western-themed town that includes a cafĂ©. There were horses and I believe you could arrange a horseback ride, but we did not ask as we were passing through. 

    There are eight RV sites accessed by a separate entrance about a half-mile walk or drive from the “town”, laid out in typical RV park style and they have water and electric hookups, but the sewer hookups appeared to be disabled. As Harvest Host members, we paid $10 but non-members pay $30. There are also two types of cottages; I did not inquire about them but their website indicates they are $100-$120 per night. An option is a sirloin steak dinner for $25, which my husband enjoyed while I was happy with a baked potato and salad for$5. You need to arrange for this in advance, but a few hours’ notice was sufficient when we were there. 

    We were greeted warmly by the staff (Samantha and Burl, the owner). I believe this property is currently for sale and sadly, it is a little worn around the edges. My main reason for three stars instead of four is that the bathhouse did not have running water and it appeared it had not been in use for quite some time. This would make it more suitable for fully contained RVs but it was less optimal for us in our campervan.

    Foss State Park Campground

    Cedar point campground-Foss state park

    Very nice, clean campground. About 12 pull through sites and a group site for tents. All spots had a level cement pad to park, picnic table and fire ring. Right on the water. Beautiful view. The campground was fairly empty when we stayed and it was very peaceful and secluded, although if the camp was full it wouldn't be very private. Great place to fishing or boat. There is a decent size marina with a restaurant in the park as well. There were a lot of bugs but maybe that's just the way OK is in July... Just bring bug spray!

    Great atmosphere and peaceful

    It is close to the highway so you will hear some traffic noise, however, it is a very peaceful spot. We stayed in a cabin with a half kitchen that met our needs perfectly. The bed, however, was so soft that it was hard to sit up or get out of it because you just sank. Great staff, friendly and helpful. Make sure you buy ice before you come as the store is expensive.

    Foss State Park Campground

    Route 66 stop over

    This is a huge camping park, with lots of sites for RV’s with full hookups, partial hookups, and a seperate tent area. The bathhouse was really clean, with pay showers. There is a nice swim beach, great open fields for sport games, a nice playground, frisbee golf course, and supposedly a small herd of bison behind the visitor center that you can watch come in to feed daily (I missed that somehow). I didn’t feel like the RV sites were as on top of each other as they seem in other campgrounds I’ve been to. The tent sites were ok, with some on the lake with no shade, and others tucked in among a tight bunch of trees. All had the usual picnic tables and fire pits. This park is not too far off Hwy 40/Route 66, so it is a nice place to camp if you are travelling Old 66.

    Quartz Mountain State Park Campground

    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.

    Elk City-Clinton KOA

    A fine place to recharge before embarking on your next journey

    We stayed here for one night on our way from Raton, NM to Devil’s Den State Park in AR. The campground was well staffed, clean, and signs clearly marking the entrances to the property and sites by number.

    We stayed in pull-in site #59, which is paved. The site was perfectly level left to right and we barely dropped our tongue jack to level front to back. There is a laundry, playground, and dog park where the pups can run free off leash.

    The coolest part of the campground is the store / office / bar, called “The Moose Knuckle Tavern” (lol). They have pizza, wings, burgers, a salad, and some apps. Call about 30 minutes ahead so you can place your order and not have to wait for your food. Also, plan your stay around not being here on a Sunday. The campground is in one of only 5 counties in Oklahoma that don’t allow alcohol sales on Sundays...lame.

    Elk City-Clinton KOA

    Super small campsites

    The campground is easy access off 40 and quick check In.  It has a tavern.  They stop serving food very early.  Pool was not open.  My big complaint is that the sites were super small.  We had a concrete pad and that’s it.  We opened our (small) RV door and we were stepping in the next camp site. No picnic table.    Luckily this was an over nite spot.  I would not recommend for more than 1 night.


Guide to Elk City

Cabin camping near Elk City, Oklahoma offers overnight shelter options within a 30-mile radius of the city. This western Oklahoma location experiences temperature extremes with summer highs often exceeding 90°F and winter lows dipping below 30°F. Most cabin accommodations in the area require advance reservations, especially during summer months when Lake Foss attracts water recreation enthusiasts.

What to do

Lake activities at Foss State Park: The park features a sectioned-off swimming area and extensive boating opportunities on Foss Lake. "This campground offers an area sectioned off for swimmers. A lot of room is available for boating fun whether it be fishing, skiing, tubing, etc. The park rangers are very friendly and accommodating," notes Colton K.

Outdoor games and recreation: Foss State Park Campground provides multiple recreation options beyond water sports. "There is a nice swim beach, great open fields for sport games, a nice playground, frisbee golf course, and supposedly a small herd of bison behind the visitor center that you can watch come in to feed daily," shares Annie C.

Route 66 exploration: The historic highway passes near several campgrounds, making cabin stays convenient for route exploration. "This park is not too far off Hwy 40/Route 66, so it is a nice place to camp if you are travelling Old 66," adds Annie C.

Mountain hiking trails: Quartz Mountain State Park Campground offers hiking paths through the Wichita Mountains. "Tucked down in southwest Oklahoma in the Wichita Mountains, it's a small park but has LOTS of options... ORV trails, hiking trails, a river and a lake. Something for everyone," writes Jennifer O.

What campers like

Air-conditioned bathrooms: During hot Oklahoma summers, climate-controlled facilities stand out. "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!" reports Amy H. at Foss State Park.

Helpful staff: Park employees receive positive mentions for their assistance. "Where we camped it was walking distance from the lake. The 'campsite parentals' were awesome people. Our site didn't have a fire ring, so we had to ask, which was delayed in getting to us due to an accident on the lake, BUT when they did bring it down, the 'campsite parentals' and the conservation agent stayed with us and kept our camping site lit with their cart lights to help with us putting up our tents at dark," shares Meg M.

On-site food options: Elk City-Clinton KOA provides dining facilities within the campground. "The campground was well staffed, clean, and signs clearly marking the entrances to the property and sites by number. The coolest part of the campground is the store / office / bar, called 'The Moose Knuckle Tavern'. They have pizza, wings, burgers, a salad, and some apps. Call about 30 minutes ahead so you can place your order and not have to wait for your food," advises Jason F.

Highway noise considerations: Proximity to Interstate 40 affects some locations. "It is close to the highway so you will hear some traffic noise, however, it is a very peaceful spot," reports a KOA visitor.

Weather challenges: Oklahoma's climate creates specific camping considerations. "I don't know if it's an Oklahoma thing but the wind was crazy making tent camping a little rough. I'm not used to what're gnat like bug they have so plan accordingly they are attracted mostly to light but swarm both day and night," cautions Anna M.

Cabin availability: Flying W Guest Ranch offers cottage accommodations alongside RV sites. "There are also two types of cottages; I did not inquire about them but their website indicates they are $100-$120 per night," notes Lee D.

Pool access for children: During summer months, swimming facilities provide relief from heat. "Clean bathrooms and laundry room. The pool was also great. The playground can use some updating," notes Carlos R. about KOA amenities.

Wildlife education opportunities: Nature encounters offer learning experiences. "There is a nice swim beach, great open fields for sport games, a nice playground, frisbee golf course, and supposedly a small herd of bison behind the visitor center that you can watch come in to feed daily," shares Annie C.
