Best Campgrounds near Noble, OK

378 Reviews

Lake Thunderbird State Park serves as the primary camping destination near Noble, Oklahoma, offering multiple campgrounds around the 6,000-acre reservoir. The park includes several distinct camping areas such as Turkey Pass, Little Axe, South Dam, Clear Bay Point, and Critter Alley, providing options for both tent and RV campers. Most campgrounds feature electric hookups, water access, and basic amenities, with Turkey Pass specifically designed to accommodate larger RVs with 50-amp service. The Oklahoma City East KOA in nearby Choctaw supplements these options with cabin accommodations for those seeking alternatives to traditional camping.

Summer brings hot and humid conditions to the region, making water-based recreation popular but requiring preparation for the heat. "Summer temperatures will be hot and humid so prepare to enjoy the water to cool off," noted one visitor to Clear Bay Point campground. Campsites throughout Lake Thunderbird State Park offer varying levels of shade, with some areas providing better protection from the Oklahoma sun than others. Weekday visits typically result in quieter experiences with greater site availability, while weekends and holidays see significantly higher usage, particularly at waterfront locations. Road conditions within the park are generally good, though some areas have low-hanging branches that can scratch taller RVs or trailers.

Waterfront locations within Lake Thunderbird State Park receive consistently positive reviews, with many campers highlighting the easy lake access for fishing, boating, and swimming. The park features ADA-accessible fishing docks and boat ramps at several locations, making water recreation available to visitors of all abilities. While most developed campgrounds include restrooms and showers, their condition and cleanliness vary considerably across the park. One camper remarked, "Bathrooms are older but clean. Showers have HOT water," a sentiment echoed in several reviews of Turkey Pass campground. Campers should be aware that some areas experience high levels of boat traffic and associated noise, particularly during summer weekends when music from watercraft can carry throughout the campgrounds well into the evening.

    Wes Watkins Reservoir

    Nice Lake

    Campground is on a lake. The rest rooms are pretty nasty and old. I wanted to take a shower but changed my mind. Located in a nice forest.

    Lake El Reno RV Park

    Great Find!

    This campground is situated in a growing area- but is tucked away. It is really cute- well maintained and many sites. There are washrooms with showers- good hot water. The bathrooms are very minimal and not the most aesthetically pleasing- but they are clean and functional.

    Some sites have fire pits and picnic tables, some don’t.

    Great areas for walking.

    Lots of grass.

    Have a children’s playground, although it is small it is new and in good condition.

    There is a small laundromat onsite too.

    Tent camping spaces available.

    Mustang Run RV Park

    Great campground

    We were traveling through and stopped for a couple of nights to visit family. It’s a wonderful park that fit our needs because it was close to our family. Concrete pull through and back ins were level and spacious. Small pool and had several areas to walk our dog. Also a small off lead dog park. Laundry room was nice and very clean $2 to wash and $1.50 to dry. We absolutely loved the park. The only exception is the road noise. The interstate is within sight which does make it easy on and off, but also for some road noise. But we would definitely stay again because that’s the only con for us.

    Arcadia Lake

    Spacious sites with beautiful views

    I was pleasantly surprised by the amenities and spacious sites at such an affordable rate. Fish cleaning stations, grill, fire pit, and solid picnic tables at every site make this one of the better places I've camped. It's quiet, spaced out well, and there is so much room between sites that you can't hear your neighbors unless they're really loud. The bathrooms need serious updating or I would have given 5 stars.

    Rolling Stone Stables and RV park

    Off the path

    This place we stayed at is a small stable but has rv hookups, the road is dirt the last 1/4mile if you follow Tammy's directions you won't have a problem, I made it in with a 42ft allegro bus with a car trailer.

    Central State Park Campground

    Basic state park

    This park has a handful of full hookup sites, a greater number of sites with electric only, and a large number of tent/rv sites with no hookups. There are water fill points conveniently located throughout the park.

    I stayed for 6 days while visiting kids/grandkids. The park was empty during the week, completely full on the weekend. It’s conveniently located close to i35, shopping, dining, etc. it’s on a reservoir and my site was close to a boat launch. They do rigorously enforce quiet hours though.

    The park is basic. One small shower house for the whole park, several bathrooms scattered throughout. Trash collection located with the bathrooms. The price reflects the amenities. I think I paid a little over $100 for the entire stay.

    Rockwell RV Park

    Not safe at night. Transient people roam the area. Hourly rate motel next d

    This place does not feel safe. Located next to a meth head mobile home park and an hourly motel across the street can be entertaining at times. New owner, David Syler, took over the place and talked a big plans to upgrade things but hasn't. The park has flooding issues, has a huge vagrant problem and they hiked the rent up to$800 a month. Instead of addressing things he is kicking out anyone that speaks ill of him. Place looks old and run down and not cared for. Half the laundry machine are broken and the bathroom stalls are atrocious. The say they do background checks but have a convicted felon and murderer on site and as part of the staff and will lie if you ask. We have been tenants for over a year and we're told to vacate today with no warrant or reason.

    North Sentinel — Lake Thunderbird State Park

    Rooftop tents aren't tents

    Don't bring your rooftop tents here. They will call the cops on you in the middle of the night and make you leave. Also don't expect to use your fire pit without cleaning weeks worth of trash out of it. The showers sprayed water everywhere except for where you need it and there were condom wrappers and dirty diapers on the floor.
