    Shangri-La RV Resort

    Peaceful and quiet!

    We stayed here for 2 weeks over Labor Day 2020. It is a secluded, large property far away from any road noise so it is very quiet. All sites have FHU 30/50 amp. Sites are either grass or some gravel. Our site, 25, was shady, grassy and level with room for us to park our car next to our MH. The owners are pleasant and helpful. When we arrived they were on vacation but they had a woman watching the park. She told us to pick any site. Our Verizon was 2 bars of 4G and I was told that AT&T is sketchy here. There is plenty of shopping in nearby Ardmore. There is 1 set of showers, a laundry room and 3 community fire pits. There are no dog runs but it seems nobody pays attention to the“Pets must be leashed and under control” rule. In my opinion this is one of those places where“Resort” is a misnomer. No picnic tables, cable, WiFi. Pool or other amenities associated with other RV Resorts. If you are in the area, especially for Lake Murray, you don’t need those other conveniences and enjoy peace and quiet this is a good place for you. Website is www.shangri-larvresort.com

    Buckhorn Campground Loop C — Chickasaw National Recreation Area

    One of Our Favorite Places

    This was the first time we camped in Loop C, which is reserve only. It was in January, so the Loop was about 1/3rd full with mostly RVs. Loop D, first come, first serve, had less campers. RV sites have water & electric & tent sites have shared water. The restrooms were very nice, clean and heated. We stayed at site 81C, which was a challenge to back into because of trees that were close to drive. The pad was fairly level & the picnic table/fire pit pad was separated from the RV pad. I could only imagine how secluded this site would feel with vegetation on the trees. This loop also had many tent sites and all the tent & RV sites are well sized & spaced. Some RV sites closer to the water look like they would be a challenge to level, but most sites have fairly level pads & all sites have very level picnic/fire pit pads for an area that has some generally steep slopes. There was only one lake view RV site in Loop C, 56C, that had the hookups on the side that pointed the front door towards the lake, but all had a gorgeous view from the picnic/fire pit pads. Absolutely love the Chickasaw National Recreational Area because of the many activities this park offers & its history.

    Red River Rose RV Resort

    Lovely but noisy

    We stayed for an overnight with our 36’ trailer. It was easy to find and we chose the easiest spot to park. Our spot had a cement pad which was mostly level. The resort is well maintained and clean. Looks like a fun location with kids. Staff was polite and helpful.

    Propane refill available on site (big plus).

    Be ready for highway noise and the occasional train whistle.

    Thousand Trails Lake Texoma

    Not as far if you take picnic trail

    One big issue with this park is the distance to the actual lake itself. You will need a cart or be ready for a hike to the beach area as it is quite a ways from the campground. that is an issue for us as my wife is disabled and needs a walker and we have no cart. But, lucky for us we were in the B section and decided one of the days we were there to attempt the picnic walk. Well worth it, even with a walker we managed to make it down to the waters edge within 15 minutes and its an easy gradual walk. Bring a picnic basket. tables to sit at or on the waters edge.

    As for the rest of the camp, most amenities due to winter months and covid were shut down. Did see people enjoying the hot tub. The roads in many of these TT campground in the loop around Dallas do need attention so take your time going through them. We did need to use the laundry and they had ample enough machines and the basic price which was 1.50 and 1.75. The sites are nice, many shaded but snug not of other campers but trees. Some have fire pits, some do not. As with more and more campgrounds these days many annuals throughout the park.

    Marietta Landing Campground — Lake Murray State Park

    Shaded easy lake access camping

    Lake Murray is a large state park which is an easy drive north from the DFW area, so I stay in the SP frequently, but never at this campground. It’s located a bit off the beaten path on the South end of the park. It’s also a smaller campground which accommodates smaller RV’s. Also, there is boat ramp, but it is not large and has little parking, plus it’s not located down the road that leads to the campsites. This means there isn’t constant traffic and power boat noise. 

    The campground is tucked into a cove of Lake Murray and is down the road from the dam.  There are some very nice walk in tent camping sites where you could walk down to the rocky lake edge and swim. There are also a few drive in tent sites. However, be aware that when I stayed here in spring of 2020, there is no bath house or toilet facilities. There was a nice playground and a little picnic area right on the lake.

    The RV sites are scattered around a circular road and there are several right on the lake. These are the best in my opinion. One of them (site 17) is labeled “premium” and I would pay the extra $ to snag this site. 

    • Site 14 - Water/Electric 50 and 30 amp, no sewer (dump on site)

    • gravel pad, mostly level, has a tree on awning side so couldn’t deploy my awning, but really unnecessary because the site was nicely shaded

    • Cement picnic bench, BBQ, fire ring

    • Walk down from site to water with rock ledge to sit a chair on and dangle feet in the lake!

    • Site is private on 1 side with forested creek/water run off area, but neighbor is fairly close on other side

    • ***No bathhouse (gutted - see photo)

    • Little cons: no trailheads within the campground, but Tucker Tower is a bike ride or hike over the dam and the trailhead to Ski Jump Campground the the Lodge connects here. (8.5 miles). Also Dump station at the campground is easy access, however the exit up the somewhat eroded gravel hill may require some maneuvering for larger rigs.

    Definitely check out Tucker Tower when visiting and Lake Murray SP Nature Center is very well done! I’ll return again for the always good hiking and try to snag the premium site or site 9.

    UPDATE 5/2021 - Marietta Landing Campground is being revamped.

    Martin's Landing Campground — Lake Murray State Park

    Martins landing Area 1

    We grabbed sites 52 and 53, for two families! Perfect size and perfect spot right on the water- in cove like area of the lake. The sites are spread out a decent amount. There is a fire pit and grill, for charcoal grilling. There is a wooded area next to these two sites where you can go for a nice little walk. There are bathrooms, with a sink and toilets, cleaned daily, as well as showers. Tons of space for grass games and kids to run free.

    Thousand Trails Lake Texoma

    First RV camping Adventure

    First RV stay so this review is from the perspective of a family that has no experience with any RV Parks. 3 Stars is my starting point and as we stay at more campgrounds I would like to think that we will have a better understanding of what makes an RV stay "5 stars". This location is "first come/first serve" sites so for a beginner that can be a bit challenging. Working with Thousand Trails and the experience with that service was great. The road into and around the park was okay, there was room to drive around the entire park while looking for a spot. The spot's varied in size and there were no fire pits or grills provided by the park in the spots that we were able to see. The picnic tables have seen better days and i'm sure that is not uncommon. The 30 amp S/E/W hookups were clean and no issues with any service during the stay. There was not cable so TV was over the air antenna only. Cell coverage was fine during our stay. The park had activity areas but with COVID restrictions most were still unused. There is road to the lake that you can take to go to a small fishing pier and some rocky lake area access. The restrooms/showers were clean and the garbage bins were full but never overflowing with trash. There are multiple pools and the water appeared clear from a distance. Saw lot's of pet's and every size RV, there appeared to be quite a few long term RV sites. We would visit again since this is part of our Thousand Trails membership.


Guide to Marietta

Lake Murray State Park offers glamping options in several campgrounds near Marietta, Oklahoma. Winter visitors find many sites vacant, with December campers reporting, "There were only two RVs in the entire campground." During summer months, lake access becomes crowded, especially at boat ramps on weekends, though early risers can beat the crowds by launching before sunrise.

What to do

Hiking trail access: The Buckhorn Trail starts directly at Tipps Point Campground for a moderate hike with lake views. "The bathrooms and showers were awesome. Good sized areas for tents. Swimming area was fun and easily accessible," reports one visitor who enjoyed both hiking and swimming during their stay.

Fishing from shore: Rocky shorelines at Marietta Landing Campground offer quiet fishing spots away from main boating areas. One camper noted, "It is definitely not the 'hot spot' of Lake Murray as there were very few people at this campground and no lake access. We drove around and noticed the surrounding campgrounds were much more full."

Winter activities: Off-season visitors enjoy fewer crowds and stunning lake views. A winter camper at Elephant Rock noted, "Stopped here on the way south to San Antonio. There were only two RVs in the entire campground. Reservations easily made online. Chose a nice spot adjacent to the Lake where I was visited by a friendly goose for breakfast."

What campers like

Clear water quality: The lake's clarity stands out compared to other Oklahoma lakes. A camper at Buzzards Roost Campground shared, "The water and surroundings were beautiful and even for a busy holiday weekend it didn't feel too busy or crowded. Lake Murray is definitely on our return list."

Secluded tent sites: Tent campers appreciate the quieter areas away from RV sections. "We found a nice secluded tent site, despite it being fall break weekend. There are many campgrounds at Lake Murray to choose from. We chose this site which was conveniently located near a nature trail with a beautiful lookout point," reports a fall visitor.

Waterfront access: Many sites offer direct water access for fishing or launching small watercraft. At Elephant Rock Campground, a visitor enjoyed "Site 44, we had a great view of the lake, however we didn't realize we would need 50 feet of hose just to hook up to the water."

What you should know

Shower facilities vary: Quality and cleanliness of facilities differ between campgrounds. A Buzzards Roost camper noted, "Very clean bathrooms and showers. Very large campsites. Just a great time with the family. All the marinas were closed when we went. No rentals."

Water hookup placement: Some sites require longer-than-standard hoses to reach water connections. As one Elephant Rock camper discovered, "We didn't realize we would need 50 feet of hose just to hook up to the water, and there were glass bottles all in the swim area."

Seasonal closures: During off-peak times, some facilities close. "All the marinas were closed when we went. No rentals," reported a camper, so call ahead if planning specific activities during winter months.

Tips for camping with families

Playground options: Multiple playgrounds are available throughout the park with recent upgrades. A family at Red River Rose RV Resort near Ardmore found "fishing pond, fishing/swimming pond with water slides, and a swimming pool" perfect for keeping children entertained.

Educational stops: Tucker Tower offers historical information and views, making it worth a visit with school-age children. "So many trails, sites on the lake, playgrounds, marina, beautiful lake! If you come here don't miss out on Tucker's Tower! Tucker's tower is a nature center/museum inside Lake Murray state park," recommends a family camper.

Spacious sites for play: Some campgrounds offer more room between sites for children to play. "We really love coming to Elephant Rock. It has great options- some spots are secluded in the trees and some are open in the middle areas if you want to be around people. It has lake access, great playgrounds for kids, close to town with everything you need."

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: RVers should consider whether lakefront views or quiet locations away from main roads matter more. A visitor to Winstar RV Park noted, "Wide roads and cement pads. Large pavilion next to outdoor basketball court and playground. Good water pressure and multiple sewage hookups per pad."

Renovation improvements: Marietta Landing Campground completed renovations with improved site layout. "Recently remodeled, the campsites in the RV loop are all pretty spacious, level, and paved. Site 9 is not right on the water but does have a nice water view. With 20/30 amp service and water hookup."

Utility concerns: Be prepared for occasional electrical issues during peak seasons. One camper at Marietta Landing reported, "Our electric did short out on us a few times causing us to need to unplug and plug back in. It didn't concern us too much, we understood it comes with territory when using these heavily used hook ups."
