Beautiful affordable campsite

We stayed one night in October with our 22' airstream. Marion the host was welcoming and check in was easy. Beautiful small RV area overlooking lake. Electric sites, no water, some pull through. Close to town. Only $20 a night, would definitely stay again. Went to the Omaha Zoo and it was great!

Forgettable

There's nothing wrong with this campground per se, but there's nothing particularly great about it either. It's just okay. It is located on the shores of the dammed Arkansas River, called Keystone Lake here. The main attraction is watersports. If you're not here for that, there isn't much to do.

The campsites are fairly nice, with plenty of space and shade trees. Mine came with quite a bit of garbage, though. I had to spend some time picking it up. There's just one bathroom for the whole campground, and while it is well-appointed with running water, flushing toilets, and showers, it was none too clean when I visited, and full of wasps besides. (They didn't bother me, but they were everywhere.)

Lake Life

This State park has a ton of campsites that are close to Keystone Lake. The sites are spread out but most offer little to no shade in the hot Oklahoma sun. The facility is maintained and has plenty for families to do. The fishing is awesome from the banks and I was surprised but the trail network.
