    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.

    Arcadia Lake

    Spacious sites with beautiful views

    I was pleasantly surprised by the amenities and spacious sites at such an affordable rate. Fish cleaning stations, grill, fire pit, and solid picnic tables at every site make this one of the better places I've camped. It's quiet, spaced out well, and there is so much room between sites that you can't hear your neighbors unless they're really loud. The bathrooms need serious updating or I would have given 5 stars.

    Clean and peaceful!

    Beautiful sunset views and nice, spacious, clean campsites all with fire pits with attached grill! The price per site/night allows for two tents on one site! Concrete picnic tables at every site make it nice for large groups and for board games.

    Rockwell RV Park

    Not safe at night. Transient people roam the area. Hourly rate motel next d

    This place does not feel safe. Located next to a meth head mobile home park and an hourly motel across the street can be entertaining at times. New owner, David Syler, took over the place and talked a big plans to upgrade things but hasn't. The park has flooding issues, has a huge vagrant problem and they hiked the rent up to$800 a month. Instead of addressing things he is kicking out anyone that speaks ill of him. Place looks old and run down and not cared for. Half the laundry machine are broken and the bathroom stalls are atrocious. The say they do background checks but have a convicted felon and murderer on site and as part of the staff and will lie if you ask. We have been tenants for over a year and we're told to vacate today with no warrant or reason.

    Arcadia Lake

    King Snake Tent camping

    King Snake on Arcadia Lake is my go-to site for a quick getaway.  If I have a free weekend and the weather is nice I pack my tent and head out.  The park is large and spread out.  A LOT of Rv's and boats in the main parts of the park but I prefer King Snake for the tent camping.  No rv's, limited traffic, and a short walk to a lightly-used bathroom.  The sites are large enough for 2 large tents.  Tables, hooks, and fire pits in each.  Close enough to the city to get anything you may have forgotten to pack. Also, the eastend of the lake is quiet and calm, away from the boats.

    Arcadia Lake

    Central state park lake Arcadia

    All in all it was great. Shaded spot fire pit, leftover firewood, clean, electricity, and plenty of room. However the red ant hills made it difficult to find a spot for our tent and it was difficult to get a spot in general with their first come first serve rules.

Guide to Norman

Located about 20 miles south of Oklahoma City, Norman offers a range of camping and glamping options with varying levels of amenities. The region experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F and mild winters, making spring and fall ideal camping seasons. Norman's proximity to several lakes provides water recreation opportunities alongside traditional camping experiences.

What to do

Fishing and swimming at Arcadia Lake: The shallow, calm waters make this lake particularly suitable for families. "Great bass fishing here! The dams were cool to see. It was easy to walk in and get a permit for camping and fishing," notes James D. about Shawnee Twin Lakes, where visitors can fish in multiple lake areas.

Hiking equestrian trails: Bell Cow Lake offers extensive trail systems. "There are miles of equestrian trails. Hiked down one and the trail was very peaceful and beautiful. It had recently rained a lot, so I had a thick layer of red mud on my shoes from the hike," reports Leslie N. about Bell Cow Lake Campground C.

Clay crafting: Some lakeshores offer natural materials for impromptu art projects. "The lake is filled with red clay. My mom and I harvested some and made little figures and baked them in the sun. We had so much fun," shares Danielle C., describing a creative activity at Bell Cow Lake.

What campers like

Buffalo viewing: At Rockwell RV Park, visitors appreciate the unique wildlife. "The kids loved the 7 baby Buffalo on the property," writes Lauren W. about her stay at Rockwell RV Park, which maintains buffalo in an enclosure on the property.

Spacious, clean sites: Many campers value well-maintained grounds. "Beautiful sunset views and nice, spacious, clean campsites all with fire pits with attached grill! The price per site/night allows for two tents on one site!" shares Lisa P. about Shawnee Twin Lakes.

Morning hospitality: Some campgrounds provide unexpected amenities. "They bake muffins each morning that are free for guests. My youngest did not miss a day," says Bret N. about his Thanksgiving week stay at Rockwell RV Park.

What you should know

Weather preparation: Oklahoma experiences severe weather, and some campgrounds have safety measures. "[Rockwell RV Park] is well lit, has a tornado shelter and are near a multitude of stores and restaurants," notes Elizabeth S., highlighting important safety features for Pecan Grove RV Resort.

Road noise considerations: Highway proximity can affect your experience. "The only reason I didn't give this park five stars is it is right next to the interstate so there was quite a bit of freeway noise," reports Lisa M. about Pecan Grove RV Resort.

Water conditions: Lakes in the area may have specific features to note. "Swimming was great with a sand bottom once you got past the grass along the shoreline," explains Jon B. about Bell Cow Lake, providing useful information about what to expect when entering the water.

Tips for camping with families

Beach activities: Look for dedicated swimming areas. "This is a very clean camping area, one of the number one spots locals go to swim," Julie H. shares about Arcadia Lake, noting its popularity with locals.

Playground access: Some campgrounds offer recreational facilities. Jon B. mentions that Bell Cow Lake has "a swim beach, a volleyball court, pavilions," making it suitable for families seeking more structured recreation options.

Footwear considerations: Sandy areas require proper footwear. "For anyone planning to camp, make sure u bring slip on shoes. U can go barefoot, we did. But the sand which is great at first... left our feet raw," advises Danielle C. from her experience at Bell Cow Lake.

Tips from RVers

Long-term stay options: Some parks accommodate extended visits. "We stayed for 8 months & it has been our favorite campground to date! It's quiet, clean, friendly & most importantly safe!" reports Katelyn A. about her experience at Pecan Grove RV Resort.

Hookup availability: Check what utilities are offered. "Full hook ups for a back in site for $40 per night. For being a RV park, the spaces were not right on top of each other like some parks are," notes Lisa M., providing important spacing information about Pecan Grove RV Resort.

Site selection strategy: At Heart of Oklahoma Exposition Center, RVers have access to big-rig friendly sites with full hookups including fifty-amp power, making it suitable for larger vehicles requiring higher electrical capacity.
