          New Find

          Happened across this place from a Facebook posting by the owners and decided to check it out. Not yet gone but will be this summer. Seen it is a new place that is Veteran Owned so I wanted to help bring business by establishing them on this platform. So for those that see this, please help spread the word. Thank you.

          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.

          Poorly Planned

          Campsites are very close together. There is no picnic table and the fire grate things were all bent and not usable.

          Trails poorly marked

          It is beautiful out here but if more people had been out camping I hate to think how loud and crowded it would have been.

          Peaceful. Serene. Secluded.

          This has been a great experience. Especially for a solo trip. Offer A frame structure. There is currently no running water due to colder temperatures. But once it warms water is on site. The land is beautiful and firewood is provided for a small fee. The Outdoor show is a nice touch too. Will definitely be back.

          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.

          Fun in the Sun

          Came to Keystone State Park for a camping weekend and I am pleased with the Park and facilities. We got there a little late, around 10 pm and it was l little hard to find out site because the numbers were hard to find for the campsites. Thankfully some nice people showed us where our site was. After getting to our site I was a little shocked at how close all the sites are to each other. We did however have the nicest of camp neighbors so that was no issue for us. It was Labor Day weekend so the site was fully booked. The bathrooms were the nicest, cleanest bathrooms from a campsite I have ever seen so that was definitely a plus! We came to swim and I am so happy that it was very easy to get to the water from the campsite. There were also grills closer to the water that we took advantage of while watching the beautiful sunset. The electric boxes were closed to where you put your tent so we only had to use one of the extension cords we brought. Our site was missing the fire ring but there were rocks in it's place. Overall we had a fantastic time at this campsite and would definitely come back!

          Nasty bathrooms, beautiful views, dirty sites

          This campground has a lot of potential. The sites are large and have beautiful views although they’re not very private. However, the site I was in (11) was covered with trash and cigarette butts. The bathrooms were a pretty good walk away and we’re your classic disgusting pit toilets. That being said, it was relatively quiet except for the occasional atv across the water, and the views are beautiful.

          Beautiful little campsite overlooking the water

          New restrooms/showers and electric RV sites with shared water for $25. Park RV on asphalt facing campsite. Tent camping area is $15 has picnic tables but no electricity or water and restrooms/showers are on other side of campground. Signs everywhere saying “No tent camping in this area.” But if you pay online for RV site, you can use tent or RV but not both (per Ranger Joe).

          Beautiful, near lake, but unleveled, water too far

          The site #22 is beautiful. Right near the water, quiet. But, the park didn't have a map so we weren't sure where the site was. Also, once we found the site, finding a semi-balance space was atrocious. Took us an hour of back and forth. Finally, the water was too far- 75 ft - really?! We didn't have water pipe that long so had to fill the tank, then come back to the site.

          We loved it. There is swimming and fishing, the camping was great too. Had a few loud neighbors, but all in all a great place. A great place for people that have atvs.

          Great stay

          Super nice view and platform. Panicked when the couple with two kids parked behind me. Oh, the yelling. I guess the tension was too much because thankfully they left and never came back. 😂 Other than that terrifying sh** show, I had an absolutely beautiful night. The weather was perfect, and that view was 🔥.

          I didn’t use the showers or bathrooms.

          Party place

          This is definitely a party campground, so if that is your thing you will enjoy. Just not my cup of tea. Sites are nice and there is room, but not private at all. Best sites in Beaver Cove are 25, 26, 27. Site 27 has shade but is hard to back into. Site 26 is the best for views if it’s not hot hot summer. Bathrooms get a no star. 2 vault toilets at campground. 2 showers you have to drive to and they are an odd set up with zero privacy and water spraying all over your towel and clean clothes. Hot water was almost non-existent. While the views are pretty, the lake is way down due to drought. Fishing looks good. I will probably look elsewhere if in this area again.

          Beautiful, but loud.

          Absolutely breathtaking over at L33. Right next to the one of several parks with a beautiful lake view. The only complaint is it seems there is a bar or something of the sorts and the drumming is loud and very subpar, going until late hours. Not ideal with kiddos.

          Lovely campground

          The campground seems to have lots of room. It’s on the water and beautiful although on the site Recreation.gov, it says you cannot reserve a spot. It’s first come first serve there were several spots 18.00 per night includes electric and water.

          Quiet, nice facilities, responsive staff

          We were a late check in, so we didn't get info we needed to access the showers/bathroom. I sent an email and got a fast response. It is close to I-44, but far enough away to be quiet. Easy in/easy out for an RV. Bathrooms heated.

          Nice Quiet Park

          The park was mostly empty for our stay late October/early November. I believe the roads have been fixed since the other review mentioned them, it's not that bad any more. The area is really pretty and the spots by the water have an amazing view. Though several spots around the park are not very level and the hook ups are on the wrong side. Over all spot 8 was decent and we enjoyed our time at Heyburn Lake.

          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.

          Safe and beautiful

          Booked last minute and arrived at 1am. Beautiful state park and the water looks amazing. Not much artificial light aside from other campers so it felt secluded but not solitary. Great bathrooms and showers.
