    This Park is Wonderful!

    Mary Hope, owner of this clean and beautiful park, has created a living space here that is simply wonderful.  My wife and I love this park and never want to leave!  Special mention to park manager, Teri, because she's also a fantastic human being.

    Small, quiet camp ground

    Make your reservations through the City of Pauls Valley. Don’t call. Keep a copy of your paid receipt (email) in case you’re asked. Host lives on site. Nice boat ramp. Great little beach area for swimming at the lake. Kayaks/lifevests/paddles available for rent. We will try that next visit.

    Oklahoma City East KOA

    Well managed, pleasant

    This KOA is an excellent choice for visiting Oklahoma City. Check in was quick and friendly. It was easy to get to downtown, yet the traffic noise was never an issue. Anything you need is nearby. We liked our site, it was level and the utilities great. The bathroom/showers were very clean and there was plenty of hot water. The maintenance was good throughout. Solid KOA.

    Okemah Lake

    Not very pleasant.

    Stayed the night prior to a bass tournament. I was surprised to see weeds overgrown in the camp areas, the shoreline is covered in tall weeds. The fire rings were trashed and grill mostly unusable. Loud trucks and cars made it very noisy. Evidently there isn’t a speed limit or anyone out there enforcing any laws. I will return to fish but it’s not worth camping at. Cell service is very unreliable.

    Okemah Lake

    Abandoned

    This once cool camping lake looks unattractive and not taking care of of. Weeds in campgrounds, fire pits full of trash and grills all broken. There is no longer any personnel or workers living in the area. You are basically on your own with no Patrols or Law Enforcement. Loud people kept us up all night and we left early. Go elsewhere. Not family friendly anymore.

    Bell Cow Lake Campground C

    Peaceful springtime camp spot

    Very 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.

    South Dam - Lake Thunderbird State Park

    Really nice campground for tent camping

    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.

    Hog Creek West — Lake Thunderbird State Park

    Very nice under the trees with trails

    We stayed here on our way out in December. For visitor center was quite nice and the staff quite friendly. We only stayed for a night but we had enough time to walk the trails close which were very nice. It seems there's more activities on the other side of the lake if that's what you want to do there's trails and multiple places to put in a boat and to tie it up closer to where you would stay.

    Little Axe — Lake Thunderbird State Park

    Traditional lake campground

    The 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.

    Post Oak — Lake Thunderbird State Park

    This campground was winterized

    We're staying next door and decided to go over and see the campground. Part of it looks like it hasn't been used in a long long time and the rest is probably only open in the summer. There are modern bathrooms and showers and access to the lake but that's about all that's there. To get over to the rest of the campgrounds you actually need to go out on a pretty busy road.

    Quiet spot near the lake

    Nice 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!

    Oak Glen RV & Mobile Home Park

    Clean, Quiet and cost friendly

    We were here for a 3-day stop to visit friends. It has been around for some time right off Route 66. The staff were friendly, and we were given our choice of where to camp. Our spot was a pull-through, not completely level, but that wasn't a problem for us. The campground was clean and very comfortable. The only downside is the red dirt that is easy to track into your camper, Its Oklahoma.

    Good time

    Lake Standly Draper was a good place to see if I could solo camp at my age of 63??? I love the peace and tranquility feeling went after Labor Day and did a lot of fishing(no luck). Learned about myself and made some decisions on my next stage of life.

    Dripping Springs Campground

    Got there the Friday before Memorial Day Weekend but didn't go out there until Saturday before and I was too late for the campsites among the trees. I was in the overflow camping, nice spots but no trees taller than 6 feet, It wasn't a deal breaker because the temp never got above 75 degrees. The people that watched the place were pleasant, the park was clean and the showers and restrooms were clean but showed their age, just like me. One very small bar on my Verizon iPhone 12 but I managed to Facetime when I wanted. The campground commander had ice but that was about all. It was 11 to 14 miles to the grocery store on 5th Street or the Walmart a bit further south on US 75. It is a first come, first serve kinda place. If you call and there is a place, you have to put something on the pad or it is still up for rental. I enjoyed myself and another trip there isn't out of the question.


Guide to Seminole

Camping near Seminole, Oklahoma, offers a mix of beautiful landscapes and fun activities for everyone. Whether you're looking for a quiet getaway or a family-friendly adventure, there are plenty of campgrounds to explore.

What to do:

What campers like:

  • Clean Facilities: Campers appreciate well-maintained restrooms and showers. A review for Dogwood Campground — Lake Eufula State Park highlighted, "Very ADA accessible, AIR CONDITIONED TOILETS?!"
  • Privacy: Many campgrounds offer spacious sites. A visitor at The Point Campground said, "Sites aren't all packed together so you get a little privacy compared to some other places I've stayed."
  • Wildlife: Campers enjoy spotting local wildlife. One reviewer at Arcadia Lake mentioned, "Great staff, help with hookups and how to use."

What you should know:

  • First-Come, First-Serve: Some campgrounds operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. A camper at Oklahoma Central State Park Campground noted, "First come first serve sounds great until you realize you won’t get a spot."
  • Limited Amenities: Not all campgrounds have stores or markets nearby. A visitor at Heyburn Park mentioned, "The park didn't have a map so we weren't sure where the site was."
  • Seasonal Access: Some campgrounds are only open during certain months. For example, Buckhorn Campground is open from March 1 to November 30.

Tips for camping with families:

  • Playgrounds: Look for campgrounds with playgrounds for kids. One reviewer at Oklahoma City East KOA mentioned, "Nice playground for the kids."
  • Quiet Spots: Choose campgrounds that are quieter during the week. A camper at Edmond Park said, "This campground was the quietest of the three we visited."
  • Family-Friendly Activities: Many campgrounds offer swimming and hiking, which are great for families. A visitor at Lake Thunderbird noted, "There is a swimming beach/day-use area not too far away."

Tips from RVers:

  • Check Site Sizes: Make sure to check the size of the sites before booking. A reviewer at Rockwell RV Park mentioned, "Plenty of spaces with full hookups, cable/wifi, but spaces are close together."
  • Leveling Blocks: Bring leveling blocks as some sites may not be perfectly level. A camper at Roadrunner RV Park advised, "Our pad was not super level but not a deal breaker."
  • Safety First: Be aware of your surroundings. A visitor at Rockwell RV Park shared a concerning experience, "The manager told us that it was 'between us and them.'"
