GuideShangri-La RV Resort
Peaceful and quiet!
We stayed here for 2 weeks over Labor Day 2020. It is a secluded, large property far away from any road noise so it is very quiet. All sites have FHU 30/50 amp. Sites are either grass or some gravel. Our site, 25, was shady, grassy and level with room for us to park our car next to our MH. The owners are pleasant and helpful. When we arrived they were on vacation but they had a woman watching the park. She told us to pick any site. Our Verizon was 2 bars of 4G and I was told that AT&T is sketchy here. There is plenty of shopping in nearby Ardmore. There is 1 set of showers, a laundry room and 3 community fire pits. There are no dog runs but it seems nobody pays attention to the“Pets must be leashed and under control” rule. In my opinion this is one of those places where“Resort” is a misnomer. No picnic tables, cable, WiFi. Pool or other amenities associated with other RV Resorts. If you are in the area, especially for Lake Murray, you don’t need those other conveniences and enjoy peace and quiet this is a good place for you. Website is www.shangri-larvresort.com

Leslie N.GuideBuckhorn Campground Loop C — Chickasaw National Recreation Area
One of Our Favorite Places
This was the first time we camped in Loop C, which is reserve only. It was in January, so the Loop was about 1/3rd full with mostly RVs. Loop D, first come, first serve, had less campers. RV sites have water & electric & tent sites have shared water. The restrooms were very nice, clean and heated. We stayed at site 81C, which was a challenge to back into because of trees that were close to drive. The pad was fairly level & the picnic table/fire pit pad was separated from the RV pad. I could only imagine how secluded this site would feel with vegetation on the trees. This loop also had many tent sites and all the tent & RV sites are well sized & spaced. Some RV sites closer to the water look like they would be a challenge to level, but most sites have fairly level pads & all sites have very level picnic/fire pit pads for an area that has some generally steep slopes. There was only one lake view RV site in Loop C, 56C, that had the hookups on the side that pointed the front door towards the lake, but all had a gorgeous view from the picnic/fire pit pads. Absolutely love the Chickasaw National Recreational Area because of the many activities this park offers & its history.
Michelle G.GuideRed River Rose RV Resort
Lovely but noisy
We stayed for an overnight with our 36’ trailer. It was easy to find and we chose the easiest spot to park. Our spot had a cement pad which was mostly level. The resort is well maintained and clean. Looks like a fun location with kids. Staff was polite and helpful.
Propane refill available on site (big plus).
Be ready for highway noise and the occasional train whistle.
Robert M.LegendThousand Trails Lake Texoma
Not as far if you take picnic trail
One big issue with this park is the distance to the actual lake itself. You will need a cart or be ready for a hike to the beach area as it is quite a ways from the campground. that is an issue for us as my wife is disabled and needs a walker and we have no cart. But, lucky for us we were in the B section and decided one of the days we were there to attempt the picnic walk. Well worth it, even with a walker we managed to make it down to the waters edge within 15 minutes and its an easy gradual walk. Bring a picnic basket. tables to sit at or on the waters edge.
As for the rest of the camp, most amenities due to winter months and covid were shut down. Did see people enjoying the hot tub. The roads in many of these TT campground in the loop around Dallas do need attention so take your time going through them. We did need to use the laundry and they had ample enough machines and the basic price which was 1.50 and 1.75. The sites are nice, many shaded but snug not of other campers but trees. Some have fire pits, some do not. As with more and more campgrounds these days many annuals throughout the park.

TravelerMartin's Landing Campground — Lake Murray State Park
Martins landing Area 1
We grabbed sites 52 and 53, for two families! Perfect size and perfect spot right on the water- in cove like area of the lake. The sites are spread out a decent amount. There is a fire pit and grill, for charcoal grilling. There is a wooded area next to these two sites where you can go for a nice little walk. There are bathrooms, with a sink and toilets, cleaned daily, as well as showers. Tons of space for grass games and kids to run free.

Thousand Trails Lake Texoma
First RV camping Adventure
First RV stay so this review is from the perspective of a family that has no experience with any RV Parks. 3 Stars is my starting point and as we stay at more campgrounds I would like to think that we will have a better understanding of what makes an RV stay "5 stars". This location is "first come/first serve" sites so for a beginner that can be a bit challenging. Working with Thousand Trails and the experience with that service was great. The road into and around the park was okay, there was room to drive around the entire park while looking for a spot. The spot's varied in size and there were no fire pits or grills provided by the park in the spots that we were able to see. The picnic tables have seen better days and i'm sure that is not uncommon. The 30 amp S/E/W hookups were clean and no issues with any service during the stay. There was not cable so TV was over the air antenna only. Cell coverage was fine during our stay. The park had activity areas but with COVID restrictions most were still unused. There is road to the lake that you can take to go to a small fishing pier and some rocky lake area access. The restrooms/showers were clean and the garbage bins were full but never overflowing with trash. There are multiple pools and the water appeared clear from a distance. Saw lot's of pet's and every size RV, there appeared to be quite a few long term RV sites. We would visit again since this is part of our Thousand Trails membership.
Guide to Pottsboro
Dispersed camping near Pottsboro, Texas centers around Lake Texoma, a 89,000-acre reservoir straddling the Texas-Oklahoma border. Most camping areas sit 50-100 feet above the water line, requiring access via sloped paths. Summer temperatures routinely exceed 95°F between June and August, while spring camping offers more moderate conditions with occasional thunderstorms.
What to do
Fishing from shore: At Preston Bend - Lake Texoma, anglers can fish directly from the peninsula that juts into the water. "Peninsula juts out into water with lovely views of sunrise & sunset. Small campground with clean and nice but simple facilities," notes Harry H.
Hiking equestrian trails: The Lakeside area connects to Platter Flats via a well-marked trail system. "There is a long equestrian trail that goes over to Lakeside Park across the lake that can also be hiked pretty easily that has a couple secluded spots to swim along the way. The trail is well marked and easy to follow," according to B H.
Birding excursions: The Lake Texoma region attracts diverse bird species, especially during migration seasons. "Came here for birding in nearby wildlife refuges and wasn't disappointed," reports a visitor to Preston Bend.
Boating and water sports: Burns Run West provides excellent water access for boaters. "The beaches were clean and had legit beach sand, which was very nice!" Christina H. comments about the shoreline facilities.
What campers like
Level concrete pads: Many sites at Lakeside (OK) feature paved pads that simplify setup. "Sites are asphault and generally spaced apart so you are not right on top of each other," notes RICK V.
Scenic waterfront locations: The waterfront sites offer prime lake views. "Our waterfront spot had a beautiful view & the sound of the fish jumping all around with the birds was quite serene!" shares Amy C. about Walnut Creek Resort.
Privacy between sites: Burns Run West offers good site separation in certain areas. "We had such a great time while camping here. The sites were a good size and had lots of shade. We had an amazing view of the lake!" according to Christina H.
Shaded camping areas: Trees provide crucial relief from summer heat at select campgrounds. "Wooded sites are perfect for a hammock. Lots of choices, many close to water and some right next to docks/launches," describes Harry H. about the Eisenhower State Park area.
What you should know
Ant problems: Several campgrounds report persistent ant issues. "If you camp here, though, be fully prepared to battle tons of ants. This might have been my favorite campground if it weren't for the ants," warns Holly N. about Preston Bend.
Limited amenities at primitive sites: Some camping areas have minimal facilities. "Our site was right on the lake. It didn't have a sewer hookup, which was kind of disappointing but we made it work," notes Richard about Lake Texoma State Park.
Steep access to swimming areas: Reaching water often requires navigating slopes. "The swim area in this park is down a pretty steep gravel trail that I had a hard time navegating. There is very limited bank access since the park sits about 50 feet up from the water line," explains a reviewer about Eisenhower State Park.
Weekend crowds: Expect higher visitor numbers Friday through Sunday. "I would not recommend visiting this park on a weekend unless traffic doesn't bother you," advises B H. about Platter Flats Campground.
Tips for camping with families
Look for beach areas: Platter Flats offers family-friendly shore access. "Half of the campground is an equestrian camp. There are great hiking trails and beautiful views. Good shady spots. We had two kids with us and we loved walking around the campground and seeing all the horses!" shares Rachael H.
Check playground availability: Some campgrounds include play equipment for children. "There are pit toilets in the equestrian area and only 1 flush toilet for men located in the 'regular' area until the new ones come up in the equestrian area," notes B H., highlighting facility limitations at Platter Flats.
Research bathroom facilities: Restroom quality varies significantly between campgrounds. "Bathrooms could use an update but that's par for the course in Oklahoma," mentions Richard about Lake Texoma State Park.
Consider noise factors: Train tracks near some campgrounds create occasional disturbances. "It should be noted there is a rail freight line and siding not far from the camp and once the vehicle traffic slows down, the trains seem to start," warns B H.
Tips from RVers
Book premium sites early: The best RV spots fill quickly, especially waterfront locations. "The premium sites at Thousand Trails Lake Texoma have full hookup sites with electric, water, and sewer connections," reports a visitor who found good connections.
Check electrical service capacity: Some campgrounds offer both 30-amp and 50-amp service. "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," explains RICK V. about Lakeside Campground.
Bring leveling equipment: Not all sites are perfectly level. "The one thing I didn't care for was the levelness of our spot, it was a little touch & go with my mother & her walker," notes Amy C. about her glamping experience at Walnut Creek Resort.
Verify site length: RV sites vary in size across glamping locations near Pottsboro. "We had site 9, which is the same site we had when we were there last year. The site is short and narrow and kitty-corner to the sites to each side but it was gravel pad, level and had FHU with 30/50 amp," explains Jan S.
