    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.

    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.

    Little Axe — Lake Thunderbird State Park

    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!

    Poorly managed dump that is also dangerous to you, your vehicles, and your pets

    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.

    This place is TRASH DO NOT STAY !!!!

     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.

    Arcadia Lake

    Very quiet!

    Edmond 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.

    It’s an “ok” spot

    Very 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.

    Arcadia Lake

    Not bad

    I'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.

    Plenty 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.

    Stroud Municipal Lake

    Good overnight

    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.

    Wouldn't stay here again

    It 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.

    Nice

    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.

    Don't arrive late

    The campgrounds are actually located on the southwest side of the lake in cove 1 and cove 3, make sure you don't arrive after 10pm as you can then only access cove 2 and cove 4. You can camp late hours in those areas, but the population in this area is very active at 2am and it just isn't comfortable. We ended up going someplace different because we usually arrive to campground pretty late.

    It’s okay..

    Away from the hustle and bustle of town it’s quiet and remote. That’s about it though.. there’s a couple of sites for camping all entirely too close to each other. The parking lot is bigger than the grass areas you have to work with. It’s a great spot to fish though catfish largemouth and crappie being the usuals. Great place to bring a boat you’ll need it to see most of the lake. There are much better places within 30 minutes of here.

    Cozy & Beautiful

    The camp hosts were very nice and so were our camping neighbors. Our site was clean with a good view of the water. Lots of beautiful waterfront spots and we saw people who brought boats to the shore next to their site. We would definitely come back!

    Their system is awful the views are great.

    Get there at the right time which is checkout time. It doesn’t matter if the site is empty check it’s probably paid for. With that said if you manage to get a spot it’s going to be a nice stay. Huge spots close to the water and lots of wildlife it’s hard to believe the city isn’t far away.

    It is much like a big parking lot and the spaces are very close but level. The staff is friendly and helpful. Quiet.
