Guthrie Lake

Managed by the City of Guthrie, this tent-only campground requires campers to park and walk approximately 100 yards to reach the designated camping area. The facility provides flush toilets, scattered picnic tables, and a self-pay station, though grilling areas are located away from the main camping zone. Direct water access connects to a fishing pier and boat ramp.

Road traffic from the surrounding residential area creates regular activity along the access route throughout the day. The open layout offers minimal shade coverage, with some campers choosing spots closer to the fishing areas rather than the designated camping zone. For those exploring the region, Liberty Lake sits nearby as another municipal option. Day use visitors frequently access the water for fishing when camping spots are available.

Many campers appreciated the tent-only design and quality water access with modern restrooms. Some noted road traffic nearby and primitive conditions, making it better suited for day use than extended camping stays.

Not a camping destination

It good for day use and fishing if you can find a spot to access the water.

Tents Only

In a pleasant change of pace for camping I pulled into this location to check out the options which exist in this region for camping in a tent. Wow was a pleased when I discovered that this location was designed for tents only!!

The pros were great water access, flush toilets, great parking and access to a self pay station. The cons, completely primitive and the roadway is pretty close to the camping area.

This location is maintained by the City of Guthrie. They have nice parking lot and boat ramp at this location in addition to a fishing pier. A lot of people choose to pull off into the zone deemed camping however for a more shaded coverage when fishing. With that being said there is still plenty of room to have you own little piece of comfort.

You are supposed to park and walk in the 100 yards to the campsites however I did notice that locals drive into this area. It is pretty open and the main concern is that you pay for day use or overnight uses.

There are some scattered picnic tables and trash cans however only one are which has bbq grills and this are is pretty removed from the designated camping zone.

I noticed when I was visiting a lot of traffic down the access road which wasn’t loud really but could be distracting if trying to relax. The traffic was mainly from the residential area which also surrounds the lake.

Overall I really liked this area for day use but am not completely sold on it as a camping area.
