Scissortail Campground sits within Oklahoma's state park system near Arcadia Lake, giving campers direct access to the water for fishing, kayaking, and swimming. Full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections make it a functional base for RV campers, and the campground also accommodates drive-in, walk-in, and boat-in arrivals. Nightly rates run $31 to $36, with reservations available and pets welcome.
Water access is a draw here, but it comes with caveats. Sites with water hookups are limited in number, and site placement can affect what campers actually see of the lake. As James W. notes, "Lake view is obstructed," which is worth factoring in when selecting a site. The area sits low and can get buggy, particularly in warmer months.
Cleanliness has been inconsistent based on recent visits. Some campers have found trash left at sites and bathrooms in poor condition, while others report a clean, well-maintained park. Wildlife is a consistent theme across reviews, with deer sightings common enough that kids have had the chance to feed them. Dogs tend to do well here given the lake access and open space. The campground also connects to hiking, biking, and equestrian trails, along with WiFi and a dump station on site.
Campers who want to compare options in the area can also look at Spring Creek and Central State Park Campground, both nearby. If the lake and full hookups fit your setup, Scissortail is worth a closer look, just go in with realistic expectations about facilities.
