Best Campgrounds near Warr Acres, OK

Campgrounds near Warr Acres, Oklahoma provide a mix of urban-adjacent and lake-oriented camping experiences within easy reach of Oklahoma City. Arcadia Lake offers tent, RV, and cabin camping with water recreation opportunities approximately 20 miles northeast of Warr Acres. Twin Fountains RV Park provides more developed accommodations with tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin options closer to the city center. The camping landscape includes several privately-owned RV parks with full hookups alongside state park facilities that offer more natural settings with varying levels of amenities. Most campgrounds in this region feature electric hookups, drinking water, and shower facilities, with several offering cabin accommodations for those seeking alternatives to traditional camping.

Road access to most camping areas remains consistent year-round with paved entrances and well-maintained interior roads.

I think the pictures speak for themselves," noted one visitor about a nearby campground. Flash flooding can affect lakeside camping areas during heavy rain events, particularly at Central State Park where campers have reported water levels rising unexpectedly. Most campgrounds require reservations, especially during summer weekends and holidays. Oklahoma State Parks charge a daily parking fee of $10 per vehicle in addition to camping fees, which visitors should factor into their budget planning.

Waterfront camping receives consistently positive reviews, with Lake Thunderbird State Park and Arcadia Lake offering popular lakeside sites. Campers frequently mention the convenience of these locations for exploring Oklahoma City while still enjoying outdoor recreation. Several visitors noted the contrast between more densely packed RV parks and the more spacious, tree-shaded sites available at state parks. As one reviewer commented about Central State Park, "I love the rural, rougher campsites. This area is much more wooded than Thunderbird." Highway noise affects some campgrounds located near interstates, particularly those closest to I-40 and I-35. Mixed-use campgrounds offering both tent and RV sites tend to be more common than specialized facilities, with many locations providing amenities like playgrounds, fishing access, and hiking trails to complement the camping experience.

    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.

    Turkey Pass — Lake Thunderbird State Park

    Great Quiet spot

    We stayed Monday and Tuesday night and it was very quiet. Great and friendly host. Sites are nice a spread out so you’re not right on top of each other. The campground is clean but my only complaint is the amount of litter at the boat ramp. There is a dumpster there and yet no one used it. 3 bars of 5G for Verison and T-Mobile.

    Scissortail Campground

    Nice Area

    The site itself is private and could be a nice place. There was trash all over the site and the showers and bathrooms were disgusting. There are limited spots with water and with nasty bathrooms if you rely on having water you should avoid this place. There were lots of wildlife.

    Happy Acres RV Park & Campground

    Clean and well maintained

    For anyone looking for an overnight or long time stay around the Oklahoma City area this is the place. We were received with a smile as well as a free coffee cup. In my many years of rv travels I can’t recall a time when I was given a better reception. As for the part it’s clean quiet and close to anything you need. For me it was a quick workout and to Walmart to restock the rv before heading out the next day. Oh by the way they have 32 acres of hiking trails.

Guide to Warr Acres

Camping spots near Warr Acres, Oklahoma offer diverse options from urban convenience to nature-focused experiences within short driving distances. Summer storms can pose safety concerns for campers, with tornado shelters available at several RV parks in the region. Winter camping remains viable with temperatures rarely dropping below freezing for extended periods.

What to do

Explore Arcadia Lake activities: At Arcadia Lake, visitors can enjoy a variety of water recreation beyond just camping. "While it's close to the city, it feels far away. Lake activities and hiking are available," notes Angela H. about Arcadia Lake.

Visit nearby wildlife viewing: Rockwell RV Park features buffalo enclosures that provide a unique wildlife experience. "They have a decent indoor pool, buffalo in an enclosure, and laundry facilities. They have a church service on Sundays, and they bake muffins each morning that are free for guests," explains Bret N. about Rockwell RV Park.

Enjoy urban recreation: Twin Fountains RV Park offers amenities unusual for campgrounds in the area. "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," shares Jennifer H. about her experience at Twin Fountains.

What campers like

Storm safety measures: Several RV parks prioritize severe weather protection, important during Oklahoma's storm season. "This RV Park has 4 or 5 underground shelters, which is somewhat of a comfort," writes Lynn G. about Mustang Run RV Park.

Lakeside camping privacy: Central State Park offers more secluded sites than other area campgrounds. "I love the rural, rougher campsites. The water is a bit sandy and turbid but the place we had was on the water and was great! There was a constant breeze which made fires tricky but very cool even when it got into the mid-90's," describes Christa O. about her experience at Central State Park.

Free amenities: Some RV parks include unexpected complimentary services. "They sell ice and buffalo (yes, they do) and many other necessities in the cute store that also has free buffalo postcards," mentions Elizabeth S. about Rockwell RV Park, adding that they are "Very big rig and dog friendly, lots of grass, open areas and picnic tables."

What you should know

Storm season considerations: Spring camping near Warr Acres requires weather awareness. "It is Springtime here in Oklahoma City, so that means tornado season. Not my favorite thing - torrential rains, hail, wind, thunder, lightening, and every bodies favorite - tornadoes! We stayed here for a week, and nearly every night we had buckets of rain," cautions Lynn G. about Mustang Run RV Park.

Campground reservation policies: Many campgrounds have specific check-in procedures. "Office closes at 6 so no laundry or check in after that," warns Bille W. about Council Road RV Park.

Limited facilities at some locations: Not all campgrounds offer complete services. "Limited amenities, no fire pit on site, gravel lots," notes Beth R. about Council Road RV Park, highlighting the need to research facilities before booking camping spots near Warr Acres.

Tips for camping with families

Look for multiple amenities: Some campgrounds offer excellent family-friendly features. "They have a little bit of everything. Nice sights roads and RV site are paved. Nice pool, mini golf course, store, laundry, bar and grill, and close to a lot of entertainment," says Tony G. about Twin Fountains RV Park.

Consider transport options: Unique transportation services enhance family trips. "The grand children loved the playgrounds mini golf and especially the limo ride to the science museum," shares Francine R. about Twin Fountains RV Park's shuttle service to local attractions.

Find parks with storm shelters: Safety features matter for family camping. "We have taken our family to Arcadia many times to camp. While it's close to the city, it feels far away," mentions Angela H., highlighting the balance of safety and recreation at Arcadia Lake.

Tips from RVers

Check water quality: Water issues can vary between campgrounds. "Water was brown, but we have a Berkey filter, so it wasn't a problem for us. I wouldn't be happy if we didn't have the Berkey, and weren't still winterized. Use your inline filters here!" advises Tashi K. about Oklahoma City East KOA.

Be aware of sewer placement: Some RV sites have challenging hookup configurations. "Some sites have have sewer hookups toward the far rear with a slight incline, so it may take an extension or 2 pending your rig and some imagination," explains Daniel L. about Roadrunner RV Park.

Consider traffic noise levels: Highway proximity affects some campgrounds more than others. "It sits right beside the highway, so there is quite a bit of traffic noise, but other than that, this RV park is top of the line," notes Lynn G. about Mustang Run RV Park.
