Best Campgrounds near Fairview, OK

Many years ago, I decided I wanted a real adventure, so I heard Alabaster Caverns would let you sleep in a cave. I don't know if they still do it, but it was a wild adventure. You have to hike down into the canyon to a make-shift campsite near a cave opening. There was a table, a fire pit off to the side, and a little obstacle course of tree limbs to get to the cave mouth that overlooked a straight drop to the ground. Inside the cave were rocks flattened on the top to be made to be beds. They are close to the cave ceiling (important). In the back of the cave was a little waterfall. Now, while you are lying down, yes, bats can come in and out. It's cool. They aren't interested in you. It was a great adventure.

I've been many times. Each time, even during the summer season, I have to say this is the quietest lake I've ever been to. Now, I can't say it's always that way, but it was when I was there. I've been in June, August, and November, and the beautiful, natural setting is so refreshing. If you're looking for a lazy, laid-back time, this is your place. If you're looking for a lot of amenities, not so much. Might also be the only lake in Oklahoma that has salty water (not like ocean, though). Catfish are abundant and LARGE. Lake is fairly shallow. Wonderful hiking.

Small park with a little bit rough hiking trails but if you are into caves, I think this is a great place for you. Two campgrounds...one for RVs and one for more primitive camping. Both are nice.

This place is amazing. It is also very much for the 4 wheeler crowd. The campground spots are close, the bikes are loud but people are friendly. It was surprisingly full when I visited and if it is your thing, I'm guessing you will love it.

The map said it was there, but we couldn't see it. That's because it's in a canyon. Gorgeous valley with abundant forest with R.V. and tent spaces and cabins to rent. Fishing, hiking, paddleboard, and a pool. The lake isn't for swimming, just fishing. Restaurant lakeside. There is a lodge, but I haven't been there. Many brooks and small waterfalls along the trails. Go, you'll love it.

Peaceful in early November. In a tent site but just slept in the back of my suv. Bathrooms clean and nice.

This was our first time staying in an Oklahoma State park. We had a great site (#1). Very level, near the bathhouse and cave entrance. I could only get cold water in the shower. That was invigorating! I asked at the ranger station and they told me how to work the shower handle. I went back the next day and same thing, no hot water! Other than that it’s a great campground.

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.

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 😭😭😭

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.

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.

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.

We were there during Thanksgiving week and there were only two other campers. Clean and warm bathrooms. Level sites.

Very friendly owner. Worked with us on our arrival. We fit in a super C (Semi truck) 41ft long x 13.6 height with flat tow. Verizon cell service excellent. Quiet. Trash available. No tables. Would stay here again.

Big Bend is a really nice campground with most sites on or overlooking the water. We were in site A10 which was a nice site overlooking the lake with shade in evening, but sunny most of the day. Most of the sites, except a few on the water, seemed to have shade during part of the day. The picnic tables were all covered. We didn't use the bathhouse because it was so far from our site. The large lake looks like a great place for boating activities. The park has a very nice, challenging disc golf course beside the campground. We were here on a Saturday night in mid- August and the campground was only partially full.

We stayed at whitetail campground in the tent area. The facilities were beautiful- new, clean, large and well maintained and well lit. The tent camp sites were on a sloped area and it was challenging to find a well drained spot for a large tent but site F fit our needs perfectly. Running water available nearby. The only downside was the heavy train traffic nearby. We just turned up our white noise machine to help drown it out. Several playground areas within the park. Also a swimming pool but it was closed.

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

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.

Nice park but awful showers some don’t spray at all and no hot water, park has lots to offer for entertainment!
