One night tent camping

Great little place and quite. Tent camping by the water. Bathhouse is clean and a little walk but worth the hot shower. For $15/ night. Go eat at Janice’s for any meal.

Great stop

Its a great stop when your in this state. Its right by the river with showers and a bathroom. We were 1 of 4 people camping and it was very spacious. I would stay again. Of course, be warned, teenagers do come driving through at night. One kept stopping next at every camp site.

Quiet and Clean

We stayed overnight but it was really nice and quiet with picnic tables everywhere. I set up my tent in the grass and called it a night. There is designated RV spots with power and water dump. If you have arachnophobia, I suggest staying away from any structures.

Great spot

We pulled in at sunset and put up our tent in a stiff wind. We placed our tent next to a picnic table & the spot was very level. We will return.

Great for overnight camping

Camp site (Teardrop camping)

We stayed the camp site on our way back home for a night. There are only 5 RV spots, no reservation needed. $15 a night / honor system. There are also tent sites available. Electric and water hookups available but no fire rings and no table on the camp site.

Facilities/ Amenities

Bathroom was a few minutes walk from the site. Clean and well maintained and showers available also.

RV dump station is close by. Picnic area, playground + trash bins are right next to the RV sites.

-

Surrounding area

The site is right by the lake. Very quiet and peaceful. Yet all the sites are very open so personally it didn't feel like a campground.

Nice park Nice Lake,

This is a small park with only about five sites with hookups. I took a chance and scored a site. The lake was great to swim in, there were lots of picnic tables. There are bathrooms and a shower.

Been here three times so far.

I really like this park. There are 5 RV spots. There is electric hookups with 15, and 30amp. There are 4 water hookups, which means one of them uses a "Y" adapter. No big deal. There is also a dump station. Off to the right there is a parking lot for primitive tent camping and to the left there is a parking lot with a picnic area and a playground. There is also a shower and bathroom available. The price is $15 a night for the rv spot. Well worth the price. It is on an honor system.

The Gem of Oklahoma

When we were traveling the southeast last summer we found no better camping area than this one. It was free, had showers, and was next to a perfect lake to paddle board and hike around. There were playgrounds, a dock, and a nice trail around the lake. We would stay here anytime and recommend anyone else to do the same. We had zero issues here. There were a few other campers. There are limited sites and first come first serve so it may be hit or miss.

Pretty, FREE park

What’s better than parking overnight at a gorgeous lake? Parking there for FREE with an electric hookup. Plus the town has a great Route 66/Old Town Museum for cheap too! A great find!

Cute park but could be dangerous

There’s about 5 free RV pads with hookups, and 4 tent camping areas. Regular restrooms with a shower in both the men and woman’s; however, there is only one. Not long after setting up our tent a few homeless people came up asking for money and a woman from the local shelter showed up to bring supplies to them and told us it may be dangerous for us to stay the night so we left.
