    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.).

    Winter retreat

    My husband and I rented a little cabin for an anniversary getaway. Cabin was clean, and grounds were well kept. We called for fresh bedding, and they were happy to help. The bed was large and comfy, and pillows were soft. There is a t.v., kitchenette, and bathroom with shower. We went in January, so there were no crowds.

    Arcadia Lake

    Good for newbies, popular for all

    There are three main campground parks around the lake. Spring Creek and Scissortail Parks are off 15th. Central Park is off the 2nd Street entrance.

    Spring Creek and Scissortail were both full, so we ended up at the Spring Creek Park.

    In Spring Creek, there is primitive camping in Bobcat Campground and King Snake Campground. We stayed in the Cottonwood Campground which had a mix of camping types. 

    We stayed in an RTT, so all of the spots were easy access for us, but I saw some big rigs and setups with boats, so it looked like it was easy to park for most anyone.

    The spaces were ample sized and most all of them had enough trees surrounding them to offer decent privacy. They all had had fire pits, grills and picnic tables. They all looked pretty level.

    Restrooms and showers were passable, but not much better than that.

    The campground was pretty full, but pretty quiet. No problems with noise.

    Lots of trash cans around, but they were all full or overflowing. Most of the campsites had some lingering trash around. Definitely could have been cleaner.

    My son had a ball and this place isn't far from home, so we will probably checkout the other campgrounds on 15th the next time we are there.

    In addition to easy setup and getting around, the other thing that makes this great for new campers is that the city of Edmond is just a few miles away for a full list of stores and restaurants. Or head east on 2nd (66) and go to Pop's in Arcadia for a burger and a selection of over 500 sodas.

    And finally, lots of Oklahoma hospitality in case you do have problems or need a hand.

    • Quaint Picnic Area 
    • Convenient On-site Laundry and General Store

Despite our country setting, we are easily accessible by paved roads.

    El Reno West KOA

    Love this place!

    Pool, pedal carts, jumping pillow, and a playground for the kids! Super friendly staff. If you need full hook ups, those are basically a parking lot. However, there’s some really nice shaded electric/water sites for RVs and tent sites. The bathrooms are super nice and clean. Pond has great crappie fishing too! It’s way less crowded than the state parks, and it’s nice place to spend a weekend away. They have little cabins that have beautiful, shaded outside areas (fire pits, porch swings, etc) and they’re cheap to rent. We’re not typically “KOA” type campers, but we really enjoy this place.

    Arcadia Lake

    Arcadia Lake

    Great campsite! Picnic tables and fire pits. Walking distance to the beautiful lake. Fairly private site lots of trees between each. Plenty of sites to choose from water front or in the woods.

    Lake Carl Blackwell

    Well kept, quirky, prairie lake

    The lake is owned and operated by Oklahoma State University. The grounds were well mowed, some of the structures are dated but well cared for. Super-friendly and helpful people at the permit office. The store was closed when we arrived.

    The quirky bit is the number of camping spaces that are by annual permit. That means a lot of of the shore line is taken up by permanent campers, weekend campers that leave their rigs, student living and even residents (in campers). The lake being close to Stillwater, it looks like a number of students and such commute from the lake.

    None of this was problematic for us, but the level of care each annual permit holder takes on their lot range from pristine to near dilapidated.

    We stayed in Beaver Cove and found it to be clean, well-maintained, friendly and quiet. No real privacy buffer between sites, but the spacing was comfortable. 

    The park ranger made several passes through, even though the campground was only about 1/4 occupied. 

    Lots of birds, including a resident blue heron the locals named Charlie. Wonderful views of the cove. We stayed in lot 31 and a few large elm trees gave our campsite evening shade.

    Nice fire rings and sturdy picnic tables.

    All in all, a good stay.

    Lake McMurtry West Campground

    Private RV Sites with easy lake access

    We really love the long, relatively private sites on the west side. Each campsite is somewhat screened from the neighbor by brush.

    Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring, water and electrical hookups.

    There is a dumpster on the circle. There is a shower and a toilet at the bait shop. Each (west side) campsite has access to the lake.

    Our favorite campsites are #11 and #12, which are a little more private, and because we can easily launch our kayaks from both spots and they have nice areas to fish.

    There are many nice hiking trails.

    The west side is our favorite place to camp within 60 miles of Stillwater.

    The cons - ticks are very plentiful, and we have heard that copperheads are plentiful in the camping area. I personally haven't seen one, but camping neighbors are always happy to let us know when they have! Might take a weed eater and clear the brush on your path to the water!

    The road to the campground is fairly long and winding, but easy to make with the trailer as long as you obey the speed limit.

    The only other con is it is hard to get reservation. They have a very nice online reservation system, but the campsites fill up quickly and pretty far out date wise. I wish they had twice as many campsites!

    Here is the main website: https://www.lakemcmurtry.com/

    Here is their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/lakemcmurtry I highly recommend their facebook page and their youtube videos. They are really funny.

    Regarding boating (Taken from the website):

    • The following are prohibited: activities that involve towing a person behind a boat, sea-doos, jet skis, or any similar personal motorized watercraft. 
    • Boats of any kind are not allowed in the swim area. 
    • Watercraft must be properly registered by the state of Oklahoma before entering the lake.
    • Designated boat ramps are for “launching” only.
    • Maximum speed is 25 mph. No wake at boat docks and ramps.
    • Water skiing, jet skis, sea doo’s, water bikes, and any other related water sports are prohibited.

Guide to Midwest City

Cabins near Midwest City, Oklahoma range from primitive to modern accommodations across varied landscapes at elevations between 1,050 and 1,300 feet above sea level. The region experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging 93°F in July and winter lows near 28°F in January. Most cabin rental areas have sparse cell service outside major towns.

What to do

Water activities: Lake McMurtry offers multiple options for paddlers. The lake prohibits water skiing, jet skis, and similar motorized personal watercraft. "Heard/saw fish hitting the water often was not able to catch any. The water access in this site is a path through the grass that grows at the edge of the water, the bottom is sandy," reports one visitor to Lake McMurtry West Campground.

Trail exploration: Arcadia Lake has hiking opportunities suitable for beginners and families. "Lake activities and hiking are available," notes a camper who regularly visits with family. "We have taken our family to Arcadia many times to camp. While it's close to the city, it feels far away," shares Angela H. from Arcadia Lake.

Wildlife viewing: Rockwell RV Park maintains buffalo enclosures for guests to observe. "They have live buffalo, too!" mentions one reviewer. Another visitor noted, "The kids loved the 7 baby Buffalo on the property," showing the appeal for families staying in cabins near this Oklahoma City location.

What campers like

Proximity to attractions: Many cabin rentals provide quick access to urban amenities while feeling remote. "Approximately 20-30 minutes from OKC zoo & science museum," notes a reviewer at Oklahoma City East KOA, highlighting the convenience for cabin guests wanting to mix outdoor and city experiences.

Storm safety measures: Oklahoma weather patterns make storm protection important for cabin campers. "There are storm shelters on site," notes a visitor, an essential consideration during tornado season for guests staying in cabins rather than hardened structures.

Unique accommodations: Beyond standard cabins, some properties offer specialized options. "Cool Treehouse with double bed. Outdoor Shower and camping toilet, kitchen. Groovy outdoor space with fire pit. Eclectic Artwork. Right off Rt 66," describes a guest at OK Treehouse, providing a distinctive alternative to conventional cabin camping near Midwest City.

What you should know

Winter operations: While many cabin facilities reduce services in colder months, some maintain full operations. "Visit was over Christmas 4 days. Easy to maneuver. Very level sites. Everything worked great. Restrooms and showers spotless. Small store with pizza. $38.00 per nite," shares a winter visitor at Pioneer RV Park.

Road conditions: Access to some cabins requires navigating challenging routes. "The road access to this campground is probably the worst that I have experienced... the slow speed required adds another 30 minutes to what should be a five minutes," warns one RVer about reaching Lake McMurtry West.

Reservation timing: Booking windows vary significantly between properties. One frustrated visitor noted about Lake McMurtry: "It is hard to get reservation. They have a very nice online reservation system, but the campsites fill up quickly and pretty far out date wise."

Tips for camping with families

Check event calendars: Special events can impact cabin availability and ambiance. A visitor to Lake McMurtry warned, "There is a cross country run event this weekend which has drawn many visitors to the campground... It is nearly impossible to make turns and pull a trailer of any size through the congestion."

Look for dedicated amenities: Facilities with child-focused features enhance cabin stays. "Nice playground for the kids, pool was closed (opens Memorial Day to Labor Day), dog park is large and very well shaded," notes a family staying at Oklahoma City East KOA.

Morning perks: Some properties offer unexpected morning benefits. At Rockwell RV Park, "they bake muffins each morning that are free for guests. My youngest did not miss a day," shares a family who stayed during Thanksgiving week.

Tips from RVers

Bathroom availability: Shower and toilet access varies significantly between cabin properties. "Only about 10 shower/bathroom combos for an entire campground. Long waits and not cleaned," warns one visitor about Oklahoma City East KOA during peak season.

Water quality concerns: Municipal water sources can vary in quality. One RVer at Oklahoma City East KOA noted, "Water was brown, but we have a Berkey filter, so it wasn't a problem for us. I wouldn't be happy if we didn't have the Berkey, and weren't still winterized. Use your inline filters here!"

Light pollution: For campers preferring dark skies, Lake Carl Blackwell offers better stargazing conditions than urban parks. "We went in January, so there were no crowds," notes a winter cabin guest, highlighting the seasonal advantage of visiting during off-peak periods.
