Nice little peninsula, watched the sun come up over the water. Quiet and flat camp spot.
RangerVery 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.

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.

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.
RangerThe 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.
LegendNice 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!
TravelerLittle Axe Campground is a great Campground. Bathrooms are new and showers work great and spacious. Lot of campsites on the water so you can beach your boat.

Our dog was attacked Sunday 5/28/2023! The irresponsible owner and dogs are still on the property. The manager told us that is was “between us and them”. Also, there is an employee that lives on site that as far as I could tell does nothing but gets drunk and then drives his pos beat up truck through the campground like an idiot. Spins his tires and slings gravel everywhere. So if walking your pup “at your own risk” or having your expensive rig and/or tow vehicle slapped with gravel sounds like a good time to you then this place is right up your alley. Just do yourself a favor and take your money elsewhere.
LegendThis is definitely a party campground, so if that is your thing you will enjoy. Just not my cup of tea. Sites are nice and there is room, but not private at all. Best sites in Beaver Cove are 25, 26, 27. Site 27 has shade but is hard to back into. Site 26 is the best for views if it’s not hot hot summer. Bathrooms get a no star. 2 vault toilets at campground. 2 showers you have to drive to and they are an odd set up with zero privacy and water spraying all over your towel and clean clothes. Hot water was almost non-existent. While the views are pretty, the lake is way down due to drought. Fishing looks good. I will probably look elsewhere if in this area again.
ScoutWent from Thursday to Sunday! Thursday camp was very chilly rest of the time wasn’t to bad, but kinda windy! Nice views of lake & dam. Sandy beach area,sandy & walkable around lakes edge. Bathrooms & showers were like new & very clean. Camp host nice. Little axe area
ScoutPlenty of space for my kiddos to roam

Ashley here with The Dyrt, extending a wam welcome to your host Melinda. Many local trails to explore or hop in the river. This is a great, family friendly campground. Book your stay and leave your review here!
Scout The most unkept RV park I’ve ever seen in the 11 years I’ve been RVing this place is disgrace. It smells like sewage, their pool and spa have algae in the water feels like slime is on you. The staff is so unprofessional and rude, and just plain ugly to you literally, there are drugs in meth addicts in the bungalow cabins they literally rent these places to homeless people and crime is so high here do not stay. The manager is so so evil.
LegendEdmond Park is one of three separate parks around Arcadia Lake; this one has primitive (no hookups) campsites. This park/campground was the quietest of the three we visited; in fact, we did not see any other campers when we were there on a weekday in early May. Of course, this may not be the case on a weekend in the summer!
The bathroom facilities are sub-par– dated and not very clean. NO showers.
This campground would be nice for families as the playground was located centrally and is easily accessible from all sites.
There is also a primitive group camping area.
There is a swimming beach/day-use area not too far away.
There are no hookups in any of the sites here and many of the driveways were short so it would be better for tents or small RVs/camper vans.
TravelerVery barren, sites close to each other and location was iffy. Sad and depressing. The live buffalo are in a small pen and miserable. Store had little to nothing in it and didn’t bother with checking any other amenities. Would not stay again.
ScoutI've been camping at this lake since I was a kid. We always use primitive campsites when we stay. If you can get a spot near the water, that is the best. You may need to get creative when setting up your site. If there are a lot of other campers around, it can be cramped. The general store is only open from memorial day to labor day but there is a Walmart near the lake.
TravelerAbsolutely loved it here. Beautiful place to stay. Fire pit at each spot. Right off the lake. Bathrooms and showers. Highly recommend!
GuidePlenty 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.
ScoutLakeside spots are spacious and well kept. Be prepared for flying bugs. Lake is great for swimming with shallow flat bottom.

TravelerCouldn't ask for a better place to spend a few weeks. I ended up buying a kyack to explore the lake. I was on the primitive site (13 is the best as super shady) the staff are very friendly and the whole place is well looked after. Didnt want to leave and absolutely would love to stay here again!
GuideWe reserve two sites side by side in the beaver cove campground. The sites are on a slight decline but pull through and we were able to make them level with our blocks. The sides have enough room for the grandkids to roam around it besides for electric and water only but offered a view of the lake and we're close by a swim area. The trees at the sides provided adequate shade for the afternoon sun and the campground offered boat ramps couple of swim areas and on-site store for gas and supplies including and after hours vending machine with propane tanks and charcoal and s'mores supplies. The dump station provided slots for three RVs at one time and well thought out. The crap ground offers hiking bicycle and horse trails that cover a large area. Wildlife was abundant with plenty of deer and Canadian geese and squirrels. The campgrounds offer some annual sites for long-term visits but there is a waiting list to be on that.

Stopped over on our way from Texas to Missouri. Needed electricity since it was 98 outside with 60% humidity. This place is fairly small and looks like used mostly by locals. Lots of teens running around and swimming in the afternoon and evening but they cleared out around dark and it was really quiet. Electricity and water worked well. Ran the AC all night. It has bathrooms and showers but we didn't use them. Boat ramp so some early morning traffic. The road coming in is paved but rough in some areas. Concrete pads at most sites so pretty level. Driveways at some sites are washed out. Lots of sites to choose from on a Monday night. Good cell service with Verizon. Self pay station. We paid $15 with senior citizen discount.
LegendIt looks like Julian, Ricky and Bubbles live here. ( Watch Trailer Park Boys if you don't get this analogy.) Was sent to 2 different sites, which were both occupied. Finally given a site with a huge puddle (a small lake) in front. Absolutely no WiFi, cable ok. Close to a highway and hear it, landfill right behind the park too. Hook ups are not great either. Many more full time residents than campers. Close to shopping. Staff was friendly. Would not book here again. Ok in a pinch or short stay. Ended up only staying one night, left early.
Traveler
Nice small lake. Older bathrooms but kept clean. Lots of fishing boat traffic. Lake Ranger is very friendly and helpful. Atmosphere of being far away from town but 10 minutes get you to groceries.
