    Arrowhead RV & Tiny House Park

    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.

    Beautiful quiet place!

    My husband and I have been staying out here for the last few months and we just love it! The park is just beautiful and the owner is so kind. The manager is a gem too!

    Roadrunner RV Park

    Great RV place

    I really do love this RV place and it’s convenient because we are big gamblers for WinStar so it’s very close and it’s not noisy like at WinStar so the owners are very respectable very sweet. I would recommend this.

    R.C. Longmire Lake

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Lake Stanley Draper

    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.

    Twin Fountains RV Park

    Friendly, convenient and great amenities

    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.

    Central State Park Campground

    No reservations

    First come first serve sounds great until you realize you won’t get a spot. People pay weeks at a time to keep these spots. I’ve spent two months trying to get one weekend. Nothing lake is okay, bathrooms are gross, but you are camping ya know.

    Roadrunner RV Park

    Hostile long-term campers on site - beware

    Arrived 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.

    Wes Watkins Reservoir

    Very crowded

    Not to bad of a campsite. Bathrooms are atrocious. It’s very crowded. Your right next to everyone but it’s kinda expected I guess. Very large park

    Central State Park Campground

    Pretty but rough around the edges

    We stayed in the Bobcat loop which is considered dispersed. Lots of shade and the lake is pretty. There was trash here and there on our site…not very clean. The bathrooms were old and not well-kept. FYI, there is a sign that says the brain eating amoeba, although rare, may be present in the lake.
