This was a one night stop while on the road. The KOA is very clean but it is very noisy. There is a wooded area at the back of the park that contains a private residence. Large dogs barked all night. A permanent tenant at the rear of the park also runs his dog before 8am. Not as bad but this dog barks also. Traffic is also louder than usual. Will not be back here!
RangerWe 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.).

What a cool place in the middle of a flat area of OK. The guys at the check in office were super nice. Our campsite was clean and within a reasonable walking distance to the bathroom. Showers are individual stalls, but separate from the toilet section of the bathhouse. The park is fun to explore and the camping areas are broken up so that you don’t feel crowded. Would definitely return here again if in the area.

I'v not been there so I won't review or rate the campground but I searched the location on internet and Google Maps and be aware that the location given here is wrong. It's not located near El Reno but way way before Tulsa. I'm desappointed because the campground was exactly what I was looking for at El Reno.
TravelerLoved this park. Spectacular views. No neighbors this time of year. Nestled in a canyon of red, walnuts, creek, trails. Just perfect.
TravelerWe stayed overnight in a pull through site. The sites were very close together. Couldn't really sit out because we were too close to our neighbor's sewer line! If you stay here try to stay in the tree section.
GuideMy visit to Red Rock Canyon left me awe-inspired and exhilarated! From the moment I stepped foot into the park, I was greeted by the mesmerizing beauty of the red rock formations, captivating greenery, and clean rivers.
What truly sets this park apart is the wide range of activities available for all adventure enthusiasts. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced rock climber, Red Rock Canyon offers something for everyone.
GuideThis place was such a disappointment. I don't often pay for campsites that aren't inside a National Park, but this place looked so pretty and it was in the location I needed.
I should start by saying that if you book an RV spot (I think they cost around $30) and whatever you're staying in has a toilet, your experience will probably be a lot better than mine. Although very close together, the RV sections seemed fairly nice.
My experience, however, was a little different (if you don't want to read all about my experience & just want the basics, scroll down to the section "the campground"):
I booked my tent site ($20) on their website a few hours before I arrived. I arrived well before sunset, and there was a sign up that said the office closed at sunset. No one was in the office and there was another sign that indicated they would return at 10AM. This wasn't a big deal.
When I booked my site online it told me to select an area (there's three different sections of the park), and then once I arrive I could choose any available campsite. I chose the Walnut Grove area. They have a map on their website showing the areas where there is tent camping. What they fail to mention on their site, is that there isn't any obvious parking for most of these sites in the Walnut Grove area. A couple of the campsites on the map were in what was signed to be a "day use only" area, a couple of the sites on the map looked like walk-in sites, but I had no clue where to park my vehicle, a couple of the sites I just couldn't find, and most of the sites were on the main road that goes through the canyon and had no obvious place to park (I looked for dead or trodden grass near the sites to give me a sign that people were just parking in the grass & didn't see any.) Also, at first it was hard to distinguish between which sites were day use picnic sites and which were campsites, because the website told me the campsite area I chose didn't have fire rings.
I finally decided to just pull onto the grass, but I noticed that multiple campsites had trash at them (most likely from guests using the park during the day). Nearby a dumpster was overflowing with trash, and I eventually saw that every section had one or two dumpsters either filled to the brim or overflowing.
I decided to stop off at the toilets in the Walnut Grove area. To get there you cross a wooden bridge that has wood planks laying over the original structure, which seems a little hazardous for navigating after dark. I could smell the bathrooms (an actual running water bathroom) from the bridge, not a great sign, but it appeared to be coming from the men's. In the women's side were two spiders the size of my palm, one in each stall. (Yes, I am afraid of spiders. In most circumstances I can get over it, but a spider of this size, that didn't seemed particularly frightened by my presence, hanging out close by while I sat on a toilet was a little too much for me in this moment.).
Between the frustration of trying to find a campsite/parking, the overflowing trash, the horrible smelling bathroom, the giant spiders, and the trash at the campsites, I finally decided to check out another area. Despite finding another overflowing dumpster, this area was a little better. The campsites were on a gravel loop, with a cleaner, but still not great bathroom at the front of the loop. At this point, I was hungry, tried, and frustrated, so I just stayed there. The office was still closed when I left in the morning.
I'm not a particularly fussy camper. I don't mind picking up a little bit of trash at a campsite. I frequently camp in areas that don't have toilets or any amenities. But when I pay $20 to camp in a tent, I do expect to have the campsites, the toilets, and the overall campground maintained and cleaned to some acceptable degree.
The campground: You drive down a short, but steep and curvy hill to get into the canyon. The red rocks of the canyon wall give off a pretty glow, especially when the sun is lower in the sky. The park is labeled into three different sections; if you are tent camping I would advise going for the first campground called Canyon Campground. Also, unless you're concerned about it filling up, I would go down and look at the areas before booking one. There are three bathrooms with running water throughout the canyon; the toilets themselves look clean, but the bathrooms as a whole don't; also lots of bugs and a couple large spiders inside. There was trash at many of the campgrounds and most of the dumpsters were overflowing with trash.
The area: If you are coming from highway 40 you'll pass through a small town that has a Sonic and a local restaurant or two. Watch your speed here, there was a police officer every time I drove by. Otherwise there's not much nearby.
Booking: You can book online, but they did have envelopes & a drop box by the front office.
Cell service: I could call out, but couldn't text or use internet.
GuideSuper friendly, right off the highway, clean and shady spots. It is still very hot so the shade is key!
GuideThis campground is only about an hour and a half from our homes and we have been coming here off and on the last 40 years. The improvements that have been made to this facility over the year or I'm simply amazing. The staff was friendly courteous and helpful ways bath house and showers were clean up-to-date and conveniently located swimming pool and playground area organized and safely running.
LegendWow. I can't recommend this park highly enough. I pulled in here after a week in the deserts of eastern California, Arizona, New Mexico, and the Texas panhandle. The lush green landscape at the bottom of Red Rock Canyon was a balm for this Northwesterner's soul. I liked it so much I decided to stay three nights instead of one. Rates for tent camping are very reasonable.
The landscape around Hinton doesn't, uh, hint, at the Canyon's presence. It is flat here, which makes the canyon all the more remarkable. Trees at the bottom are sheltered from the wind and grow to great heights. There is a creek that runs along the length of the canyon. The creek is dammed at one point to create a small lake, where fish can be caught. There are several trails by which visitors can explore this spectacular environment. The Rough Horsetail Nature Trail near the head of the canyon is particularly nice, and paved for the first stretch.
There are a few different campgrounds along the road on the canyon bottom. I stayed in the northernmost one, Canyon Campground. Sites here are large and beautifully shaded. There are no electric hookups, and only one water spigot near the entrance. There is a modern bathroom here with flushing toilets and running water, but it was a mess when I visited. The bathrooms down the road at the Walnut Creek group picnic area are older but were in better condition. (They had signs up that read "closed for the season" but were wide open... go figure).
This park has other amenities, including a camp store and swimming pool, but these were closed when I visited due to damage from recent heavy rains.
LegendAwesome surroundings, incredible hikes, broken pool, showers and toilets were very rough but worked well.
Trees at site, a grill, picnic table. 2 shower and bathhouses both far from site. Lovely creek behind us.
Worth it for the hikes, sites, and views. All awesome. Best of all were the endless wildflowers on the ridge hike.
Dump station but water hookups and electric. Sites are close to one another but not cramped.
Verizon and ATT worked well!
Came for pool, it was out of commission. When I asked about it they gave a half refund, this wa very appreciated! Nice staff too.
ScoutWeird man by himself driving around the camp area. Parked and approached after dark, seemed a little off and had trouble getting him to leave. Ask us to turn off our head lamps, don't need em he said. Finally got him outta there when we headed to car for cc items and opened our phones up Sent park an email, no direct response. Hope they keep that vagrant out of there.
GuideSites are good. Everything is paved which is nice. Lots of cool trails to hike, albeit not well marked. Very cool spot. Highly recommend.
GuideThis was my last stop on a 2 week road trip and it was a cool find close OKC. After spending a couple hours driving through TX and OK, this spot doesn’t even feel like Oklahoma. It gets very hot during the day but the canyon tent sites have a good amount of shade and are a lot cooler. There are also some great walking trails since it used to be a State Park.
ScoutOne of my favorite places! Go! You will NOT be disappointed. The owners are amazing. There's tons of parking, half of the Campground allows dogs and the other half by the main water hole doesn't, so that's cool for pet owners like me and people who don't want to deal w random peoples dogs. It's clean, safe, water is perfectly clear and clean. Perfect place for small kids and dogs. Your kids will absolutely love it here.. ifyou don't take them, their childhood will be missing this gem of a memory. The only way your going to drowned here, is if your too intoxicated and make a dumb mistake:D sorry I had to say it. Maybe if somehow you fall and hit your head, land face down in the water and no one's with you, or possibly just not watching a baby there could be emergencies, but otherwise, It's perfectly safe. There is no way to drowned or have issues. Its pretty shallow only a few spots are neck deep or deeper to really swim, but there located in spots all up the whole river. Most of the water is ankle, knee and waist deep. And the swimming is so special, Its like a huge cool bath. So clean and refreshing. I love swimming here. The current is like a lazy river. I went all summer 2021. It was literally perfect. There's tables and BBQ pits. You do pay to go so make sure you take some cash. It's like 5-6$ a person and a few bucks for dogs. I've taken my whole family. Everyone just loves it. You and your family will too.
TravelerI've always loved going to this place. I go at least once a year
ScoutPrivately owned for three years, taken over from state parks. Totally worth stopping, lots of hikes and activities too!
GuideWe stayed one night in an RV. The sites were not too close together, and we had friendly people on both sides. There were a lot of other families and my boys enjoyed playing with some other kids. The hiking trails were amazing and all in all just a beautiful setting for camping. The bathrooms were a little dirty and one toilet got clogged, but maintenance came right out to fix it. Would love to return.
GuideEnjoying it, end April, cool weather. Sites spacious & trees nearby. Only a few RVs ‘n me. No tents. My neighbors from Oklahoma City saw it’s booked for weekend. Locals love it. Nice easy short hikes. Bathrooms a bit outdated but work. One has a super old hand drier (works!) from , my guess by looks, 50+ years!
GuideThis was a great KOA. Paved roads were great for bike riding, beautiful lake along the back side of the grounds, nice large dog run, clean and plenty of machines in the laundry area, super cool playground with outdoor workout equipment too.
Sites are VERY close together in the larger rig area up front but we’re some nice wooded smaller sites toward the back. And pull through sites were super easy to get into. Plus the kids got a big kick out of the two Buffalo on the grounds!
TravelerSites are super close to each other, was a free for all once you get into the camp (even though reservations must be made). The hike around the park is alright
LegendLovely campground with rock formations. Staff Jennifer and Brett very impressive. Left early because of thunderstorms and being a canyon campground. Has a catch release pond (with fish).
LegendNot there anyway
ScoutHad reservations for two nights. Due to unprecedented bad weather we wanted to see if it was possible to move to another later date. Left phone messages, emails, website messages for two days. Never got a call back. Reservation came and went without being able to use it. I would have completely accepted if we were told that the cancellation policy was that no refund was available and we could not reschedule, but to simply be ignored and have no response was frustrating and meant we had to wait multiple extra days before we could try to look for other options. Unless you are 100% certain you will use a reservation at this site, I would advise to go elsewhere as they will never call you back if you want to make any changes.
GuideCampground is on a creek below beautiful red rock cliffs. Campsites are kinda close to each other, but certainly nice for a one night stay.
GuideIt’s interesting upon driving across flat plains and arriving at a canyon in the middle of it all! Only stayed one night. Was able to take a short hike to the canyon “rim”. The bathrooms were ok, clean at least. From what I could tell, there is only one pond along one big red rock wall and near the bathroom. The pond looked scummy and wouldn’t want to fish it. There may have been more opportunities for fishing, but I didn’t see any. Bugs were bad, thermacell worked great for the mosquitoes. Lots of flies.
