  Texas Route 66 RV Park

  Friendly Owner, Safe, Great Laundry

  We stayed here for two weeks while traveling for renewable energy work in the area. They had very affordable daily, weekly, and monthly rates. They have a lot of people who come and stay a day or too while they travel, your neighbors are always changing. They have a very cute store with basics including food if needed. Maytag washers and commercial dryer available with dollars to coin machine. Hookups are great, easy to connect and setup user friendly. They have farm animals onsite to visit, great fir the kids! Pet friendly. Trash cans all over the site along with two dumpsters. Tornado shelters on site! Only 5minutes away from the town of Shamrock, TX which has multiple fuel options, grocery market and ace hardware. They have some cute shops too. Multiple propane options within an hour of each direction.

  All in all very impressed with the owners and site and our stay was great. Definitely will stay here again if we are back in the area!

  Great free site

  Decided to head here for a solo camping trip, it did not disappoint I will say the think to be aware of currently is the Canadian goose population, they can be a hair aggressive when they have younglings.

  Texas Route 66 RV Park

  Right on Old Route 66

  Located on one of the last remaining stretched of Route 66 in Texas. This is a nice campground just outside of Shamrock TX, on the panhandle, about 10 miles from the Oklahoma line. They have Full Hookups, with 30 & 50 amps, Long Pull-Thru sites, Free Wi-Fi, a Dog Run, Laundry, Play Area. There is also a Souvenir Shop with Route 66 memorabilia. There was only one shower when we were there, so be sure to lock the door! It does look like they are adding more. There was not much shade, but in late May it was still pleasant, and there is a steady breeze, which felt good after 2 days of rain. The sites are also very close together. Our neighbors were practically sitting in our site when we arrived. One interesting item is the storm shelter. I guess in tornado county it could be helpful. They also gave a menagerie of farm animals: goats, sheep, chickens, cows and a donkey.

  Black Kettle Campground

  Quiet and free!

  We spent a lovely three nights here, we were the only ones camping although a huge family did come and have a sprawling Easter picnic on one of the days. Camping area is pretty bootleg but has everything you need, just watch out for mice and ticks. I was thrilled to find somewhere so quiet that had pit toilets and water and walking trails, and our dogs were happy about a campsite where no one else was around.

  Black Kettle Campground

  Quiet, kinda clean, simple

  We went to the furthest site on the paved road that had two picnic tables available on site. This site was clean but the adjacent sites had lots of garbage left behind including burned bean cans. Still a great site and very close to the water. Listened to fish jump out of the water most of the night which was wonderful.

  Plenty of deadfalls for firewood and the fire pits were fine to use. Very quite all night and hardly any traffic. The road leads right to each site with just a short few yards of a walk to the actual tables and fire pit.

  Free public bathrooms available that seemed a bit unkept but smelled nice. All in all a great quiet night, wonderful wildlife sounds and plenty of dry wood for roasting hotdogs!

  Quiet Lakeside FREE Camping

  When driving through this section of Oklahoma I was pleasantly surprised to have found this FREE campsite.    The area looks pretty flat with only rolling hills then you take a turn and the land really opens up here with the lake and the views are quite impressive for this region.

  I stopped in on a very windy day and the water was to choppy to have been any good for recreation despite having a fishing pier and boat ramp.    It was even a bit strong to enjoy exploring the trail that was on the far side of camp.    I checked out the upper area of the grounds near the day use area and tent camping area then made my way to the pull in sites located a bit before the main lake area, these were much more sheltered from the winds and pleasant.  

  Each site had access to picnic tables, fire rings and lantern hooks in this area although the layout itself was still very reminiscent of a tent site with parking then open spaces for placement.  You couldn't pull in next to the tables.  Parking varied with some places appearing much more level than others. 

  The red dirt of Oklahoma transfers everywhere I will say that, so if you are visiting when it is muddy, be prepared to be tracking it inside your rig or your tent.   It does stain so keep that in mind!  

  For me this ended up being a great place to enjoy a night in the quiet, no noise and very few people in the day use or camp area.    It was well maintained, the restrooms were clean vault toilets and I noticed that there were a few centrally located trash cans available.

  Spring Creek Dispersed Sites

  Dispersed Sites in Black Kettle National Grasslands

  We stayed here on a Friday night in early December. There are three dispersed sites in this area. We chose the largest because it was the most private and the most level. There was a picnic table and a fire ring. The site backs up to a pretty interpretive trail with a small pond, though our dog had to be carried in his pack because of all of the stickers.

  Black Kettle Campground

  Beautiful free campground with drinking water

  I stayed here for one night with my dog. Beautiful area, loved the view, could definitely hear the nearby road traffic continuously but didn't bother me. Campsites are open so you can see other campers, but only one other person came by while I was there. There are maybe 10 campsites to choose from, all with fire pits and picnic benches. There are two red water pumps with potable/drinking water, but they are set back from the parking lot so you have to carry your water containers back(in my case, heavy water containers while walking uphill). Still, it was great to refill on water. There were also logs and branches stacked up from a downed tree, and someone had laid a fire at my campsite's fire pit. Note that there are different-sized fire pits based on your campsite. There is also a cluster of four picnic tables towards the back of the campground if you have a bigger group. And there are two or three small trails that connect to the campsite, although I didn't go on them. 

  Take the first left after you enter the recreation area to get to the campground, if you continue straight you will get to the boat launch and the daytime picnic area that has signs saying"day use only."
