Oklahoma City sits at approximately 1,200 feet elevation in a region where prairie grasslands meet cross timber forest. RV campgrounds around Oklahoma City experience hot summers with temperatures frequently exceeding 90°F and mild winters, making them suitable for year-round camping. The area has multiple storm shelters at campgrounds due to the region's tornado risk during spring.

What campers like
Storm shelters: Oklahoma City RV parks prioritize safety with tornado shelters. "Storm cellar! Did not need to use. Yes indeed 5 Buffalo on property. Fun viewing," notes a camper at Rockwell RV Park.
Concrete pads: Level sites are consistently mentioned as a positive feature. "All the sites are paved and level with grass and the occasional tree in between them. Super friendly and helpful staff!" explains a visitor to Roadrunner RV Park.

What you should know
Site spacing varies: Some Oklahoma City RV campgrounds offer more private sites than others. "Sites are not on top of each other. Lots of places for walks and the boat launch is just down the hill," explains a camper at Turkey Pass.
Highway noise levels: Traffic sounds can be an issue at certain RV campgrounds in Oklahoma City due to interstate proximity. "It is very easy to get to the campground and easy to access Oklahoma City. There were no picnic tables or fire rings available. There was no shade and the park roads are in poor shape," notes a visitor to Abe's RV Park.
Fire restrictions: Not all Oklahoma City RV parks permit campfires. "Not scenic, but clean, level spots. On-site store and propane are handy. Spots aren't roomy, but I've been packed in tighter at other places. All spots look to be pull-through," reports a camper at Pioneer RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
Look for playgrounds: Some campgrounds offer child-friendly amenities. "Campgrounds boast a variety of concrete tables, fire rings, and grills. There is a park host, who sells fire wood. Campground also has a small playground appropriate for young children," notes a visitor to Lake Thunderbird State Park - Rose Rock RV Campground.
Consider pool facilities: Splash areas provide relief during hot Oklahoma summers. "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," reports a camper at Twin Fountains RV Park.
Check bathroom conditions: Facility quality varies significantly between campgrounds. "Bathroom is clean and has a shower, but is dark," notes a Rose Rock RV Campground visitor, while another mentions, "Bathrooms are in a serious need of an update."
Tips from RVers

Satellite dish compatibility: Tree coverage affects satellite reception at some Oklahoma City RV campgrounds. "We have a 40 foot fifthwheel and was able to find several sites that would work for sat dish," explains a visitor at Turkey Pass.
