Campers report the lake is a great place to take kids fishing while enjoying the outdoors with their pets.

    Mustang Run RV Park

    Great campground

    We were traveling through and stopped for a couple of nights to visit family. It’s a wonderful park that fit our needs because it was close to our family. Concrete pull through and back ins were level and spacious. Small pool and had several areas to walk our dog. Also a small off lead dog park. Laundry room was nice and very clean $2 to wash and $1.50 to dry. We absolutely loved the park. The only exception is the road noise. The interstate is within sight which does make it easy on and off, but also for some road noise. But we would definitely stay again because that’s the only con for us.

    Sooner's Corner RV Park

    Easily Accessed From Highway

    On my way north of Oklahoma City I was in search of a gas station on a pretty baron strip of highway. I saw a few signs for a local community of Perry and thought I would check it out along the way. Just off the highway at exit 185 heading toward Highway 77 there was a small truck stop but more surprisingly located just beside as a part of the same property was roadside motel and RV stop.

     I inquired within and was informed that they have nightly as well as weekly rates available and often are frequented by tourists passing through on the main highway. 

    There are only 16 pull through locations but they do allow overnight tent stay, although there is not a discounted rate for tents. 

    The property is limited on shade but does have basic amenities and proximity to quick feel before hitting the road again. 

    The restrooms are quite nice and offer showers and laundry services as well. They do allow pets and didn’t seem to have an additional charge for this. If you are looking for an easy access location this one is great for a quick pull off however if you are looking for more recreational style campgrounds look at Perry Lake which is only a short distance away.

    Rockwell RV Park

    🐃 🐃 🐃

    Plenty of spaces with full hookups, cable/wifi, but spaces are close together. No fire ring. We asked to change our site and they accommodated us. Friendly staff with small store. They have small, but nicely maintained dog park. They have live buffalo, too! Pool, jacuzzi, laundry, and bathhouse.

    Six days of great

    The people here are very nice and helpful. We stayed at this park for 6 days waiting for our new hitch to get there and everything was great. The bath house is very nice and there’s a great playground and dog park. I’m very happy we decided to pull in.

    Mustang Run RV Park

    Excellent RV Park

    This RV Park is very very nice. It sits right beside the highway, so there is quite a bit of traffic noise, but other than that, This RV park is top of the line. I generally prefer a more rural setting, but we came to OKC to visit friends and found this gem. The parking spaces are wide and easy to get in and out of. Of course full hook ups with 50 amp service. There was cable TV, with lots of channels (a luxury we have not experienced on our three month journey). The cell service was good here (AT&T), and the park wifi worked better here than any other place we’ve stayed. It is Springtime here in Oklahoma City, so that means tornado season. Not my favorite thing - torrential rains, hail, wind, thunder, lightening, and every bodies favorite - tornadoes! We stayed here for a week, and nearly every night we had buckets of rain. We were glued to the news channels a couple of nights in fear of golfball sized hail, or worse - the dreaded tornado! This Was V park has 4 or 5 underground shelters, which is somewhat of a comfort. The dog park here is good. They have trash pick up service everyday- you just put your bag out by your camper and they come pick it up. While here, we went to the Bombing Memorial. I would definitely come back - just not in the Spring!

    Oklahoma City East KOA

    Busy campground with excellent management

    Beautiful campground with plenty of amenities at a great price. The spaces were a good size to fit our 45’ toyhauler with 2 vehicles (and put the back patio down). There are a fair bit of trees, so big rigs use caution pulling into spaces.

    Nice playground for the kids, pool was closed (opens Memorial Day to Labor Day), dog park is large and very well shaded. Laundry room is very clean and well kept.

    Approximately 20-30 minutes from OKC zoo & science museum.

    Overall wonderful stay with no complaints.

    Pioneer RV Park

    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.

    El Reno West KOA

    Easy access- ridiculously close to neighbors

    We were in Site# 66. We had Full hook- up with a paved pull-through.
    We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep.

    The site was easy to level. Our site was not shaded with limited trees. In eight years of RV-ing, we’ve never had such little space between us and our neighbors. We literally walk out our door into their sewer. (See pictures) My husband can touch both RVs with his arms outstretched.

    The lot did not come with a concrete patio, picnic table, or a fire ring. Some lots had a picnic table. We did not request one since we’d be eating at our neighbor’s sewer.

    It is an easy access to the campground from highway -(right off the highway).

    There is free WiFi. They offer Cable TV and there are many local channels).

    They do not sell wood here.

    They do not provide garbage service at your site but there are many barrel drum trash cans that can be accessed.

    You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. They do not provide golf cart rentals. There is really not a need to have a Golf cart because it is a smaller campground.

    They do have a Swimming pool (not heated & freezing). They have a fishing Lake on property (it is hidden behind some cabins so you could stay here & never know the lake is here). There are two Buffalo that are owned by the owners of the restaurant and trading post above the KOA (who also own the KOA).

    There is a Playground and jumping pad for kids. They have a basic general store.

    There is not a snack bar/restaurant on site but there is a restaurant at the top of the hill.

    The streets are paved and good for riding bikes. There is not really anywhere to ride bikes outside of campground.

    This is a RV park but also have many cabins for rent and tent areas.

    They have 2 shower houses. The shower house has the typical stalls. These are kept very clean.

    There is a laundry facility. It is a cash only facility. You’ll need to get change in the main office while they are open (no change machine). There are approximately 6 washers and 6 dryers. It is approximately $2 to wash and $2 to dry a load.

    They have a fenced in dog park.

    Bugs were an issue and bug spray was definitely needed.

    There were no trails to hike in the campground.

    We’ve noticed that the casinos nearby mainly offer slot machines only (very few have live tables (craps, roulette, blackjack,etc.).


Guide to Guthrie

Arcadia Lake provides shoreline camping about 30 miles southwest of Guthrie, Oklahoma. The area features camping sites with direct lake access for recreational activities across 1,820 acres of water surface. Water levels fluctuate seasonally, with summer highs making boat access ideal from May through September when temperatures average between 75-93°F.

What to do

Wildlife observation at dawn/dusk: Arcadia Lake campers report seeing diverse wildlife. "While it's close to the city, it feels far away. Lake activities and hiking are available," notes Angela H. in her review of Arcadia Lake.

Fishing for catfish and bass: Liberty Lake offers productive fishing spots with easy shoreline access. "Great place to take the kids, grandkids to Fish and have fun behind the boat on toys," shares James S. about his experience at Liberty Lake.

Evening campfires by the water: For social camping activities, Arcadia Lake features designated fire rings. "Awesome lake! Very peaceful around the campfire with my team members," mentions Kara M. in her review.

Golf alongside camping: Cedar Valley RV Park provides a unique combination of camping with golf course access. "Clean showers, nice trees, Close to Guthrie," notes An K. about Cedar Valley RV Park.

What campers like

Spacious, secluded sites: Liberty Lake campers appreciate the well-designed layout. "When arriving to the lake itself traffic splits off into one way lanes. You pass a house like structure which serves as a paystation for entry," describes Crystal C. about Liberty Lake.

Proximity to Oklahoma City: Twin Fountains RV Park serves as a convenient base for exploring the region. "Twin Fountains is right off where I-35 and I-44 meet in Oklahoma City so it's fairly easy to get to this campground," explains MickandKarla W. from their stay at Twin Fountains RV Park.

Lakeside access with flat terrain: Central State Park offers waterfront sites with level areas for setup. "The site had a spacious gravel pad, a sturdy picnic table on a concrete pad, a fire pit, a grill, and even a standing-height area that was perfect for setting up our camp kitchen," shares Nashoba_tohbi in their review of Central State Park.

Quiet setting for overnight stays: Clearview RV Park provides a peaceful overnight option outside of Enid. "Great, peaceful setting outside of Enid, Ok! This was a little off the beaten path, but if you're looking for a peaceful, clean park...this is it!" reports Jennifer H.

What you should know

Payment systems vary by location: Many campgrounds around Guthrie use self-pay stations. "You are supposed to park and walk in the 100 yards to the campsites however I did notice that locals drive into this area. It is pretty open and the main concern is that you pay for day use or overnight uses," notes Crystal C. about Guthrie Lake.

Limited shower facilities at some parks: Not all pet friendly camping near Guthrie, Oklahoma includes modern bathroom facilities. "If I had to nitpick, the only real downside was the lack of showers in the area we stayed," mentions Nashoba_tohbi about Central State Park.

Tent-only restrictions at specific sites: Guthrie Lake designates specific areas for tent camping. "The pros were great water access, flush toilets, great parking and access to a self pay station. The cons, completely primitive and the roadway is pretty close to the camping area," explains Crystal C. in her review of Guthrie Lake.

Weather considerations for tree coverage: Storms can affect wooded camping areas. "Check weather before traveling, it is very common for bad weather to roll through this area and with all of the trees you want to make sure you are safe," advises Crystal C.

Tips for camping with families

Reliable fish stocking for kids: Liberty Lake maintains consistent fish populations for family outings. "Great place to take the kids, grandkids to Fish and have fun behind the boat on toys," recommends James S.

Deer watching opportunities: Some campgrounds feature regular wildlife visitors. "The kids loved feeding all the deer. Great clean park!" shares Rachael V. about her family's experience at Scissortail Campground.

Swimming area accessibility: Dedicated swimming zones provide safer family options. "Just beyond that a swimming 'beach'. This was a little perplexing to me because there was less than a foot of red dirt sand then water which was marked as appropriate. The beach itself was tiny but it was nice to see they had created a space unique to swimming in the area for safety," notes Crystal C. about Liberty Lake's swimming area.

Camp kitchen setup areas: Some sites offer designated cooking spaces. "The site had a spacious gravel pad, a sturdy picnic table on a concrete pad, a fire pit, a grill, and even a standing-height area that was perfect for setting up our camp kitchen—super convenient for outdoor cooking," describes Nashoba_tohbi.

Tips from RVers

Level pull-through sites: Pioneer RV Park provides convenient access for larger vehicles. "Easy to maneuver. Very level sites. Everything worked great. Restrooms and showers spotless. Small store with pizza. $38.00 per nite," reports Bill D. from his stay at Pioneer RV Park.

Electric-only hookup options: Central State Park offers varied hookup configurations. "This park has a handful of full hookup sites, a greater number of sites with electric only, and a large number of tent/rv sites with no hookups. There are water fill points conveniently located throughout the park," explains Dale Y.

Clean bathroom facilities: Well-maintained facilities are available at select locations. "If you're 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? This could be your spot," advises Neil T. about Pioneer RV Park.

Dog-friendly amenities: Many campgrounds around Guthrie welcome pets with designated areas. "Easy access off of 35. Back in hook up and relax. Well lit. Dog park. Would recommend and visit again," shares Pam & Steve S. about Love's RV Hookup.
