      Great RV place

      I really do love this RV place and it’s convenient because we are big gamblers for WinStar so it’s very close and it’s not noisy like at WinStar so the owners are very respectable very sweet. I would recommend this.

      Oklahoma City East KOA

      Well managed, pleasant

      This KOA is an excellent choice for visiting Oklahoma City. Check in was quick and friendly. It was easy to get to downtown, yet the traffic noise was never an issue. Anything you need is nearby. We liked our site, it was level and the utilities great. The bathroom/showers were very clean and there was plenty of hot water. The maintenance was good throughout. Solid KOA.

      Okemah Lake

      Not very pleasant.

      Stayed the night prior to a bass tournament. I was surprised to see weeds overgrown in the camp areas, the shoreline is covered in tall weeds. The fire rings were trashed and grill mostly unusable. Loud trucks and cars made it very noisy. Evidently there isn’t a speed limit or anyone out there enforcing any laws. I will return to fish but it’s not worth camping at. Cell service is very unreliable.

      Abandoned

      This once cool camping lake looks unattractive and not taking care of of. Weeds in campgrounds, fire pits full of trash and grills all broken. There is no longer any personnel or workers living in the area. You are basically on your own with no Patrols or Law Enforcement. Loud people kept us up all night and we left early. Go elsewhere. Not family friendly anymore.

      Peaceful springtime camp spot

      Very pleasantly surprised by this campground. Has everything you need for pretty cheap ($11 for tent/no hookup) including bathrooms, tables, trash, water and more. Only one other car on a weeknight in April, so very quiet and peaceful. Bathrooms were kind of gross but I expect that’s due to visiting in a shoulder season.

      Lake Carl Blackwell

      Poorly Planned

      Campsites are very close together. There is no picnic table and the fire grate things were all bent and not usable.

      Trails poorly marked

      It is beautiful out here but if more people had been out camping I hate to think how loud and crowded it would have been.

      Great location for visiting OSU

      We came in and spent one night to see a music recital at OSU. This was the perfect location. The campground is very clean. The campsites are gravel with a strip of grass. It’s not camping in the woods but it’s a perfect setup for town. The restrooms and showers were very nice and clean. There was a gathering room with sofas and a big screen and then a conversation area out on the patio. Overall it was well worth the money. It even has on site laundry.

      South Dam - Lake Thunderbird State Park

      Really nice campground for tent camping

      We didn't stay but rode our bikes over from Little Ax to ride the bike trails. No one there except the campground hosts but we explored the campground and area. Very nice. Lots and lots of trails including and unmarked but paved trail. We are here for a few days and will come back again to do more. Great view of the dam and the lake from the dock and they allow one to bike and walk across the dam.

      Hog Creek West — Lake Thunderbird State Park

      Very nice under the trees with trails

      We stayed here on our way out in December. For visitor center was quite nice and the staff quite friendly. We only stayed for a night but we had enough time to walk the trails close which were very nice. It seems there's more activities on the other side of the lake if that's what you want to do there's trails and multiple places to put in a boat and to tie it up closer to where you would stay.

      Little Axe — Lake Thunderbird State Park

      Traditional lake campground

      The spots are nice and level in the bathrooms are well maintained. From here you can hop over to some mountain bike trails which will explore tomorrow. There is excellent cell service if you have Verizon so I get to work from here for a few days. Pretty much every spot has a great view of the lake. Every spot also has its own seeming little beachfront which is really quite cool. And I have to mention there's a laundromat that's very reasonably priced which I tried to see it earlier if it was here and that wasn't listed.

      Post Oak — Lake Thunderbird State Park

      This campground was winterized

      We're staying next door and decided to go over and see the campground. Part of it looks like it hasn't been used in a long long time and the rest is probably only open in the summer. There are modern bathrooms and showers and access to the lake but that's about all that's there. To get over to the rest of the campgrounds you actually need to go out on a pretty busy road.

      Quiet spot near the lake

      Nice campspots as we are passing through Oklahoma, near Norman and restaurants/grocery stores. Quiet with decent shower and bathrooms.

      The spot we found was level, but has pulled into the spot next door first and it was not very level. You can't beat the price for $26 a spot for electric. They also don't tack on non-resident fees like some states wish is appreciated. Tourism brings additional money into the state. Thank you!

      Clean, Quiet and cost friendly

      We were here for a 3-day stop to visit friends. It has been around for some time right off Route 66. The staff were friendly, and we were given our choice of where to camp. Our spot was a pull-through, not completely level, but that wasn't a problem for us. The campground was clean and very comfortable. The only downside is the red dirt that is easy to track into your camper, Its Oklahoma.

      Good time

      Lake Standly Draper was a good place to see if I could solo camp at my age of 63??? I love the peace and tranquility feeling went after Labor Day and did a lot of fishing(no luck). Learned about myself and made some decisions on my next stage of life.

      Beautiful, near lake, but unleveled, water too far

      The site #22 is beautiful. Right near the water, quiet. But, the park didn't have a map so we weren't sure where the site was. Also, once we found the site, finding a semi-balance space was atrocious. Took us an hour of back and forth. Finally, the water was too far- 75 ft - really?! We didn't have water pipe that long so had to fill the tank, then come back to the site.

      Friendly, convenient and great amenities

      What’s not to love. Paved roads, level sites, great pool/hot tub / splash pad, mini golf, and my favorite a restaurant and bar onsite. I love campgrounds with restaurants. They’re always unique and personal and this one sure is. Love their limo shuttle service, grounds. This is exactly the kind of independent campground I’m always on the look out for and $50 for a full hook up to boot. Love it.

      No reservations

      First come first serve sounds great until you realize you won’t get a spot. People pay weeks at a time to keep these spots. I’ve spent two months trying to get one weekend. Nothing lake is okay, bathrooms are gross, but you are camping ya know.

      Hostile long-term campers on site - beware

      Arrived on a Sunday. Moved to a new site Monday for a long, 3 week stay. 

      On Tuesday morning, while walking my dog around the park, was verbally accosted by a long-term camper (onsite for 2 years, per management) because my dog pooped on his grass. Picked up the poop, apologized and moved on. Gentleman came back out (apparently after watching the video he had) and followed me. Move verbal abuse. 

      Short-term camper drinking coffee asked me what was going on. Explained and she told the gentleman to"chill out- he picked up the poop". He verbally abused her. 

      This was reported to the front office when they opened. Was supposed to be passed on to the manager. My wife, dog and I went to the office a half hour after the manager got in to discuss the situation. He hadn't been briefed by the person taking the report yet.

      The manager swore that this gentleman was a loner, kept to himself and"wanted to be left alone". My question - if he"wanted to be left alone", why in the world would he follow me to continue the verbal abuse? And why in the world would he verbally abuse someone not involved in the issue? 

      We decided to leave. Worried about the safety for my wife, dog and self. Management would not return our money - park policy. They care more about the money than the safety and security of their clients.
