The only reason I didn’t give this park five stars is it it’s right next to the interstate so there was quite a bit of freeway noise. Other than that the park is very well kept and maintained. The camp hosts were super nice. The bathrooms and showers were awesome. Full hook ups for a back in site for $40 per night. For being a RV park, the spaces were napart from each other. not right on top of each other like some parks are. This park also looks to have several full-time or seasonal residents.

Mustang run isn’t to far from Oklahoma City off I-40 and is locally owned. Also close to State fair. It is at the end of a lane next to a hotel. You can hear lots of traffic from the interstate. It has 2 dog runs,storm shelters,pool,playground, laundry, and nice clubhouse. So everything you might need. There are pull through sites and back in. The sites are concrete so level. They are full hook ups with cable and wi-fi. There are no tent sites here. The nightly rate is $49 but they do except Good Sam discount. They also have weekly and monthly rates.
RangerThis RV Park is very very nice. It sits right beside the highway, so there is quite a bit of traffic noise, but other than that, This RV park is top of the line. I generally prefer a more rural setting, but we came to OKC to visit friends and found this gem. The parking spaces are wide and easy to get in and out of. Of course full hook ups with 50 amp service. There was cable TV, with lots of channels (a luxury we have not experienced on our three month journey). The cell service was good here (AT&T), and the park wifi worked better here than any other place we’ve stayed. It is Springtime here in Oklahoma City, so that means tornado season. Not my favorite thing - torrential rains, hail, wind, thunder, lightening, and every bodies favorite - tornadoes! We stayed here for a week, and nearly every night we had buckets of rain. We were glued to the news channels a couple of nights in fear of golfball sized hail, or worse - the dreaded tornado! This Was V park has 4 or 5 underground shelters, which is somewhat of a comfort. The dog park here is good. They have trash pick up service everyday- you just put your bag out by your camper and they come pick it up. While here, we went to the Bombing Memorial. I would definitely come back - just not in the Spring!

This is one of our favorite tent and trailer camping locations in Oklahoma. It is quiet with all the hookups you need plus restrooms and showers within in a close walk on Loop C where reservations are required. Great sunset views over the Lake of the Arbuckles, great hiking in the Chickasaw National Recreation Area, and close shopping in Sulphur.

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.

This is a Good Sam Campground.
Pros: Full hookup (sewer, water, 50 AMP) Pull thru sites available Close to Oklahoma City Pavilion
Cons: Limited amenities No fire pit on site Gravel lots
ScoutThe rv park is clean, lots of space in each spot with full hookups at all spaces. 30/50 amps at all spots as well. It’s not a campground feeling, but still a nice little park. There are no trees, but they do have Wi-Fi and laundry.

Noticed on my second walk this morning the garbage dumpsters are all the way to the west end of the campground near where long term RVs are But also they have two very large safe rooms underground with ventilation in case of severe weather. Great idea. Could stand to put a garbage can at least on east end bathrooms
GuideI had to make a trip to OKC for medical testing. Took the RPod 202 and chose Mustang Run RV Park for its convenient location for my needs. VERY near all types of entertainment. People complain about the noise from I-40 but that didn't affect me at all. Full hookups. Clean restrooms and on site laundry. Also includes the necessary tornado shelters! Pull-thru, level concrete sites.
We are very happy with our stay and will use Mustang Run from now on when visiting. Very convenient location for passing through Oklahoma City on I-40/44 corridors.

Nice lake it is a smaller lake but still has some nice RV hookups as well as primitive camping it has toilets and showers they are so so, everything else though is really nice there is a big pavilion and a couple of smaller ones. It is a boating friendly lake jet skis a well. It has a decent little playground and a swimming area, course you can swim around your campsite as well.
Scout
Awesome staff, quite, good laundry facility. Here for a month. They have long term stay and everyone pretty much keeps inside and to themselves
Traveler
Very nice, quiet rv park. Close to the highway and downtown OKC. Highway noise is buffered by hotels so its not really that bad. Full hookups, free wifi and codes to bathrooms for more security. Lots are not super close, and it feels more private. Our pad was not super level but not a deal breaker. The only negative was the huge poison ivy tree right behind us. Luckily we didn't have our kids. We let the owner know on the way out and they were unaware and said they were spray it down right away.

Hiking is must-do with caves and waterfalls. Swimming along the falls is also quite memorable (bring water shoes, though not required). They have screened-in shelters for eating and camping, which tells you bugs can be an issue here. Other camping options include cabins, full RV hookup, and tent sites. None of these are along the water, but you can walk to the falls on a trail. None of the sites are shady or have great privacy. Camp store, restaurants, souvenir shop. Busy but well-deserved popularity. Enough to do to spend a whole weekend. Not far from Chickasaw Park and Cultural center.
ScoutCampground is newer and paved pull throughs are very long and wide. With paved patio for our site. We had 38’ 5th wheel w 4 slides and still had room on sides and behind RV for 2nd vehicle. Patio area on sites do not have picnic tables which is one reason I did not give them a 5. Being right off interstate is convenient but you will hear traffic during daytime. We heard nothing in bedroom overnight though. Robin owner is super friendly and helpful! Bathrooms closest to us were nice and clean. Huge shower area. I’d say 20% of RVs are here long term Some a little sloppy in appearance and others do very nice job in their lot. One resident is a Police Officer and his cruiser is parked there when he is off duty. But very safe area and comfortable. Definitely stay here again
GuideStopped here to get onion burgers at Sid’s Diner on Rt 66 in El Reno (highly recommended). This park is run by the Best Western. The sites are pretty beat up, there are a few long term residents. The showers and laundry are clean and convenient but the AC didn’t work when we were there and it was pretty hot. It is very reasonably priced and you get the hotel breakfast buffet and can use the pool.

We had a great stay in Lake Thunderbird State Park near Norman Oklahoma. The park has 11 campground areas situated around the 6000 acre centerpiece lake with many tent, RV sites and some of those have full hook up; our choice was the Little Ax campground on the southern end just off Oklahoma 9. In addition to water activities the park offers hunting, horse rental and boarding, equestrian trails, hiking, mountain biking, nature trails, a nature center, and an archery range. Our lakefront site#37 was nice and shaded with a gentle lake breeze offering a concrete pad, water, 30/15 amp electric, concrete table, lantern holder, fire ring and grill at site. The campground has an entry station, camp host, picnic shelters, playground, bathhouse and laundry, beach area, common fire pit, Verizon 4 bars, dump station, trash receptacles, interior roads are paved, with many sites waterfront. RV sites are close quarters. Tent sites are amazing...pads, concrete table, fire ring, grill, water spigot dispersed, waterfront sites. The town of Norman has all the amenities: shopping, dining, groceries, fuel and yes, Walmart. The area is home to local wineries and breweries and also the hometown to actor James Garner. WARNING: Oklahoma State Parks charge a daily parking fee per vehicle of$10 in addition to the camping fee and they enforce it...just saying from experience...read the information carefully! 13101 Alameda Dr, Norman, OK 73026 GPS- 35.234940,-97.219224 for the Little Ax Campground.
ScoutArrived 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.
ScoutDO NOT STAY HERE. We arrived around 10pm only to realize the electrical box didn’t work. There is no after hours number and nobody to offer assistance. Several kind neighbors came to offer help, all coming to the same conclusion. Electric box didn’t work. Luckily, we found Road Runner Rv park down the highway. They picked up after hours and got us in right away. Next morning, Twin Fountains wasn’t even apologetic. They argued with me that it was working and was unwilling to offer a full refund. Shame on Twin Fountains to be so greedy.

Rockwell RV park was a nice, quiet, and clean stop for us along our route home. The kids loved the 7 baby Buffalo on the property. Linda had wonderful customer service and accommodated our COVID request for phone check-in and payment.
TravelerThis is a beautifully kept up RV park. Lots of grass, concrete pads, and storm shelters. Easy in and out, except getting into park from Interstate. It is a very dangerous turn across three lanes of traffic to get into park. If traveling North get off one exit early.
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.
GuideThis park is FABULOUS! I have been RVing for 25 years and putting a lot of work into seeking out the best there is in RV parks. This park has it all. It would be enough on its own that is has meticulously landscaped grounds, a pool, hot tub, game room, library, laundry and restaurant, but it goes even further. This park, designed by an architect, is beautiful! You’ll see the exquisite detail every where you go. But the best? The best is the Goodwill Ambassadors they have to meet your every need. Be sure to meet Don - he will be the highlight of your visit - an inspiration to those of us out here seeking fun and dreams! This is a MUST visit park!!

Quiet spacious Concrete level sites with plenty of wildlife abound. 2030 and 50 amp with water no sewer hook up but there is a dump at the entrance of the camp Ground.
Guide
This is a very inviting campground with lots of trees and plenty of room around the site. Our site is level, pull thru, full hookup with plenty of room for our tow vehicle
RangerEasy access, pull through sites. All gravel lots and friendly staff. Decent shade with full hookups. Perfect for passing through or exploring Oklahoma City.
Scout
This campground was very quiet and beautiful. The grounds are neat and well cared for. There are about 10 reservable sites with full hookups. Several sites with water and electric. Most pads are short. No skiing or motorboats allowed. Restrooms need some work and only cold water available for showers.

Hadn't been to Lake Thunderbird since I was a kid (40+ years ago) and all I could remember is that we always called it Lake Dirtybird because of the water. As far as that is concerned nothing has really changed. Typical central Oklahoma red water.
We stayed a couple of nights at Little Sandy Campground. There weren't any full hookups and we had to stay at a spot that was water and electric only ... and boy were we glad. The full hookup sites in the next campground over -- Hickory Hill -- were packed in like sardines. Our site on the upper loop of Little Sandy was away from all the hubub but also away from the water, so there was that. If you don't mind being right up against the next camper, Hickory Hill has some full hookup sites right on the water. However, the upper loop of Little Sandy was nice with all the trees and the better-spaced sites. In my opinion spot 36 is the best one. No one can camp behind you and there's a lot of space to the south. The dump site it up on the main road about a quarter of mile north from the campground entrance and easily accessible.
We stayed the first weekend of May 2020 ... the first weekend some of the COVID-19 restrictions were lifted. The place was PACKED, especially with tent campers. No judgment, just saying there were a lot of them. It was tough finding a path to the water without walking through someone's campsite. The water pressure was pretty low at the site and my guess it was due to all the sites being in use.
All in all it was a nice weekend, but I've stayed at nicer and quieter places.
