The Best Camping Near Calera, Oklahoma

Year round enjoyment is part of the reason I like this place! Even though some of the campground is closed in the off season it still offers great camp sites. I've tent camped as well as RV. It is prone to flooding. It has flooded twice that I know of that caused the entire camp ground to be under water and closed for a lengthy time. They have been able to clean up and reopen with the same beauty it had before the flood. It is a Great place for the whole family!!!!

Okay place to camp

We reserved in area D (tent camping no electric) for 2 nights. We got in the first night around 8 and it was pouring rain. So we did not stay the night. We returned early the next morning and were able to set up camp. They have concrete picnic tables, fire rings and the area we were in had a bathhouse. Stalls had a toilet, sink and shower area. The sites were pretty close together. Our neighbors were very friendly but I like having a little more space. Overall it was a good time. Just not as secluded as we are used to and the rain kind of put a damper on things. 

Rained out but nice area

We were in B loop. Our first time out with our new camper. We were off by ourselves. Nice spot, except grass was a bit high and ants were a big problem. 

However, just watched where we stepped and it was ok. We walked all over the place, did some sight seeing in other areas. 

Nice Park

Most rv sites are 30 amp. Section B is 50 amp. Sites are water and electric, no sewer sites. There are 2 dump sites on the way out. Most sites are mowed except f section. Bring your own weed eater. Sand burrs are noted in multiple locations throughout the park. I had 5G 4 bars with T Mobile. Sites are asphault and generally spaced apart so you are not right on top of each other. All sites are reserved and paid on line before you arrive. They need to upgrade sites to 50 amp
