Best Equestrian Sites Near Enid, OK (5)
1. Salt Plains State Park Campground
Jet, Oklahoma21 Reviews•126 Photos•112 SavesSalt Plains State Park is one of Oklahoma's most unique state parks. The barren landscape of the nearby Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge is comprised of salt leftover from an ocean that covered Oklahoma in prehistoric times, and the saltwater lake in the park, Great Salt Plains Lake, is about half as salty as the ocean.
Visitors can take their pick of activities in the park, such as swimming in Great Salt Plains Lake or trekking along bike trails. Equestrians can bring their horses to ride designated trails, and there are nature trails to enjoy while taking in the scenery. Fishing at the lake is fun for the entire family, whether in a boat or onshore. Varieties of fish such as catfish, saugeye, sand bass and hybrid striper can be found in these salty, shallow waters. You can also bring your canoe or kayak and enjoy a trip around the lake viewing the many migratory birds that pass through the area.
The selenite crystal dig area is located southwest of the lake in the Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge, and access roads are available six miles west of Jet or three miles south of Cherokee. The crystal digging area is open from April 1 to October 15 from sunrise to sunset. Located just under the surface of the salt plains, these crystals usually form into an hourglass shape. Oklahoma is the only place in the world where the hourglass-shaped selenite crystal can be found. While searching for crystals, look for some of the over 300 species of protected birds that live in and can be seen in the refuge.
Enjoy a multi-day stay at Salt Plains State Park in one of the renovated, eco-friendly cabins. Each of the six cabins has its own bed, refrigerator and stove, among other amenities. Pets are allowed in select units for a small nightly fee. Also, overnight camping is available in an RV or tent site. One full hookup site is available. Online reservations must be made for all RV and tent campsites. Comfort stations with showers are located near the sites and throughout the park for the convenience of visitors. Great Salt Plains State Park also offers picnic pavilions and outdoor grills.

Lake Carl Blackwell
Poorly Planned
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.

Salt Plains State Park Campground
Clean & quiet, beautiful place, very few RVs
We will stay here 5 nights. Shower/bathrooms are clean and near the RV spots.. The beach/access to the lake is very near the RV sites. Park very big and lots of different areas to explore. Out of the way but well worth the drive.

Peaceful and clean
I love this campground because it’s close to home. The new bathrooms and showers are WONDERFUL, especially compared to what they were before. And the park itself is super clean and well kept. The tent sites have the most wonderful views and and right on the lakefront. If you need hookups though, your view - and possibly your cell signal - is completely lost. (I was using T-Mobile. It doesn’t work here hardly at all. Verizon and AT&T work best.)
Bathrooms nearby both tent and hookup sites.
My only complaint is that the stickers in the hookup sites were BAD - like full bottoms of my shoes bad and inside my campervan bad. #OUCH 😭😭😭

Nice park weird dump station
This park had the most amazing view, clean showers, great park, and not to far from the crystal digging. The dump station on the other hand... Just weird. The hole was huge and awkward. Thank goodness we only had to dump once. Other than that this was a perfect little spot.

Hard to find but pretty
We stayed at the Sand Beach Campground. It was hard to find since it's not past the main enternace it is further along 84 past the equestrian campsite and behind the rv park. But we were right on the water which was awesome. But then the winds increased from 16mph to 27 to 40 in a day and didn't die down the rest of our stay.

Party place
This is definitely a party campground, so if that is your thing you will enjoy. Just not my cup of tea. Sites are nice and there is room, but not private at all. Best sites in Beaver Cove are 25, 26, 27. Site 27 has shade but is hard to back into. Site 26 is the best for views if it’s not hot hot summer. Bathrooms get a no star. 2 vault toilets at campground. 2 showers you have to drive to and they are an odd set up with zero privacy and water spraying all over your towel and clean clothes. Hot water was almost non-existent. While the views are pretty, the lake is way down due to drought. Fishing looks good. I will probably look elsewhere if in this area again.

Fantastic Stay!
We had a great time, and we’re super fortunate the park staff were all so friendly and helpful as we did need a little help finding our spot. The kids had a great time digging at the salt flats - don’t forget sunscreen!! Great temps all around. We flew kites, fished and relaxed.

Beautiful lake and grounds
Lakeside spots are spacious and well kept. Be prepared for flying bugs. Lake is great for swimming with shallow flat bottom.

Lake Carl Blackwell
Gorgeous location, huge pretty lake
Couldn't ask for a better place to spend a few weeks. I ended up buying a kyack to explore the lake. I was on the primitive site (13 is the best as super shady) the staff are very friendly and the whole place is well looked after. Didnt want to leave and absolutely would love to stay here again!

Relaxing time
We reserve two sites side by side in the beaver cove campground. The sites are on a slight decline but pull through and we were able to make them level with our blocks. The sides have enough room for the grandkids to roam around it besides for electric and water only but offered a view of the lake and we're close by a swim area. The trees at the sides provided adequate shade for the afternoon sun and the campground offered boat ramps couple of swim areas and on-site store for gas and supplies including and after hours vending machine with propane tanks and charcoal and s'mores supplies. The dump station provided slots for three RVs at one time and well thought out. The crap ground offers hiking bicycle and horse trails that cover a large area. Wildlife was abundant with plenty of deer and Canadian geese and squirrels. The campgrounds offer some annual sites for long-term visits but there is a waiting list to be on that.

Really Not what I expected
I’d heard such great things about this place I couldn’t wait to get there. The springs were nice and that’s about it. The lakes are empty there’s a pretty foul smell I’m sure is spring related. The parks gone that my kid was really looking forward to. Just not worth the time or money. Go to red rock canyon instead.

Good Tent Camp
Good quiet place to camp. Used a tent. Nice views. The bathrooms and showers are new and very nice.

It’s okay..
Away from the hustle and bustle of town it’s quiet and remote. That’s about it though.. there’s a couple of sites for camping all entirely too close to each other. The parking lot is bigger than the grass areas you have to work with. It’s a great spot to fish though catfish largemouth and crappie being the usuals. Great place to bring a boat you’ll need it to see most of the lake. There are much better places within 30 minutes of here.

Cedar cove campground
Beautiful place , with one big exception. The two lakes in the area were empty , not sure why . Would have been nice to know that the lakes were dried up, ?being drained . With that being said still a fun place with lots to do! The natural springs are awesome ! Clean bathrooms.

Convenient lake for fishing trip
We mostly finished during this trip enjoy catching plenty of trout especially a few goldens.
Liz R.ScoutSalt Plains State Park Campground
Lovely spot
I am so glad we found this spot on Dyrt. We stopped here on a loooong drive from Southern California to Missouri. Sadly we could only stay for about an hour but I would love to spend much more time here.
We were at the Sandy Beach campground. It was a Friday afternoon and there was barely anyone there. The dogs were able to play in the water and I had a nice lunch in the shade at a picnic table. It was warm but not terribly so, and it’s OK at the end of summer, so no complaints.
Definitely worth going a bit off the beaten path for.

Quiet and peaceful, low key sites
We just stayed for one night, it was super quiet and calm. The campsites were minimal but had lots of space and were right on the lake. We had a beautiful sunset too
We couldn’t find a place to pay… but we will check in the morning

Beautiful trails & wildlife
I love Roman Nose State Park! Have been a few times this season. The trails are all very well marked, and the view at Inspiration Point is flawless (when there's not dam construction)! There are plenty of intersections so you don't have to do a super long trek if you don't want to. I love the little springs you can see, and spent a lot of time looking for live little mussels at the one pictured. On my last trip, I saw turtles, a copperhead, a little lizard and several hawks and other birds.
This is certainly one of my more favorite spots. Stop in at Foggy Bottom Kitchen for a bite or a fried pie! I am vegetarian, and the chef was very accommodating, despite the actual menu not being too veggie friendly. Love that they go the extra mile!

Was a spacious, shady camp along the river, fished, some short hikes and visited the great salt plains state park and dug crystals that can only find there. Clean bathrooms, showers, and water and elec. Would stay there again..

On the lake with lots of space
Stayed a night here. It was nice and quiet and lots of space in between the camp spots. Showers are a little rudimentary with no real privacy. Big stalls, but doors are only half size so anyone can look in.

Depends what you are looking for
Looking for a nature centric camping experience? This isn’t your place.
Need a place convenient to the Lazy E Arena, Guthrie or Edmond to base out of of? This could be your spot.
Need an easy on/off overnight spot in central Oklahoma? This could work for that, too.
Not scenic, but clean, level spots. On-site store and propane are handy. Spots aren’t roomy, but I’ve been packed in tighter at other places. All spots look to be pull-through.
Lazy E is only 4 miles away.
Chicken Shack is very close and has great fried chicken. A bigger convenience store and gas station is close as well.
In Guthrie check out Missys Donuts for the best donuts and in Edmond, Texlahoma BBQ is consistently awesome.
