    Great Plains State Park Dispersed Campsite

    Peaceful and Beautiful

    The road in starts as a paved/dirt road. Turn left before the primitive camping sign and follow the dirt road to the lake. The road is very rough, but we managed in our VW Atlas. Beautiful view of the mountain and lake. Very quiet and peaceful, and no other visitors.

    Great Plains State Park Dispersed Campsite

    Beautiful area

    We spent a night here and it was beautiful. I loved the challenge to get to the spot. Coordinates will get you close to your turn but you have to watch for the sigh (first pic), from there just use your Maps to navigate which route you want to take. Roads have deep rust but worth it when you find the perfect spot. Water side location. No fire ring but wasn't needed. Area was clean and flat.

    Great Plains State Park Dispersed Campsite

    Oklahoma Wildlife Management Area

    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.
