  Texas Route 66 RV Park

  Great quiet clean spot!

  Management was super friendly and accommodating. Office is open until 10pm which accommodated us getting in late. All the spots were very well kept. While we were there, there was no one camped on either side of us! It was awesome!

  They have some animals in the property that the kids loved seeing! Small dog area but proportionate to the size of the rv park. Great overnight stop!

  Texas Route 66 RV Park

  Cute with farm animals

  Cute overnight stop with some farm animals on the property. Very helpful owners. Lead us right to our site. Not much privacy between sites. And the bathrooms/showers were mostly out of order except one toilet and one shower. With full hookups it doesn't matter much.

  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.

  Peace on the Lake

  FREE 

  The grass along the entrance is mowed and looks great with the back drop of the Oklahoma grassland. The road in is paved and also in the campground. You will find a picnic table, fire ring, pedestal grill, trash, pit toilet. Nice mature trees that offer a lot of shade. Large parking area where you can park an RV or grassy area for a tent. I think this would fill up quick during the hunting season. Nice small lake or large pond however you look at it. Looks great for fishing.

  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

  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!

  Gorgeous Recreation Area

  I stayed here in November originally and it "seemed" like a hunting camp (but isn't). You can stay for 14 days. Open all year. Bathrooms, drinking water, and trash. The area is stunning. I didn't have cell reception until I drove out onto the main road (sos only w/ unboosted att). Last time I was here I did get service in the park after resetting the network. There's a lake, boat launch, and walking trail (didn't use during hunting season). Soooo beautiful.

  A good stopover for the night

  Nice owners/managers, place is a little dated, but relatively clean. Highway noise is a constant. Has storm shelters available when needed. Gravel pull-throughs, mostly level.

  Recreation RV Park

  Limited Shade

  At this campground it seems like the park itself was first in mind then the actual camping options. While the space is pretty vast there is little to no shade and the electrical connection boxes look pretty wonky. Some of the sites look like they pretty much are on top of one another and there isn't really a lot of room to spread out. Picnic tables and fire rings are absent from the individual sites and it seemed more of a place just to stop than a place to really enjoy.

  The park itself was pretty nice, large pavilion, basketball courts, walking trail with a lake and playground. It was kind of sad to think that the campground just seemed disjointed from the attention to detail.

  Then there was the proximity to the stadium which is just behind the campground. I couldn't imagine pulling into this site on a Friday and then having the noise of the stadium right there along with all the extra traffic and parking which finds its way into the lot you are calling a place to stay. There is no division from this.

  This site is by far more designed for RV traffic even though it does have a sign saying tents can stay there as well. I wouldn't want to try to do so however because it doesn't seem like it would be anything near what I personally like or expect from a tent site.

  TIPS:

  • If you are in a larger rig. you will want to use one of the sites closer to the stadium that area a bit longer. Closer to the water the sites appear shorter and like van sites.
  • Check the football schedule before dropping in on a Friday otherwise you might be quite disappointed.
  • Get a discount for camping on a weekday when it is only $15 a night as opposed to $20.

  Whigham Park

  Free 2 nights

  This campground It’s free! 2 days maximum stay, you have to drive a few blocks to the police station and ask permission . They will ask you for your ID and License plate number and just write it down on a log. There is a dump station, and potable water and power! Yes after you get registered (super easy and fast) you’ll get electricity. The campground has just some spots (5 I think), trash cans, kids playground, basketball court and the Dollar General is just 2 min walk. Nice town. It has restrooms but are now closed due to Covid.

  Beautiful

  The map and recreation area/campground is actually Dead Water Lake. Is you turn to the left after entering, you'll get a lot with parking barriers so only tent camping. Go straight and you'll find plenty of spots to park for a pop-up or RV. It's very peaceful and beautiful. The crickets and an occasional bullfrog will sing you to sleep.

  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 Lake Recreation Area Oklahoma - Dispersed Camping

  Clean & Free

  A nicely maintained free public camping & recreation area on a small lake in the Black Kettle and McClellan Creek National Grasslands. There are tables in various locations between the parking area and the lake. Some tables are next to the parking area. There are no signs prohibiting car camping. I stayed in my van in the parking area at night and utilized a fire pit and table next to the parking area. It was peaceful. I first attempted the dispersed area across the lake and though it seems alot more interesting .. the roads were muddy deep sandy dirt in some areas and my van seems to get stuck easily. Nothing amazing other than it's a usfs campgrounds and it's still free !

  Great FREE van camping!

  The parking lot is large, and the pit toilets here are actually really nice, as far as pit toilets go. It is February, so I can't comment on how they will be in the summer. We were the only ones here all night, again, being winter probably contributed to that. The lake is pretty, and we heard some coyotes or wolves howling at some point during the night. Other than that, very quiet and a great place to stay overnight!

  Wonderful sunsets

  FCFS 

  FREE 

  More of a tent area. Nicely mowed entrance and the campsites looked great. The grasslands are well defined by the mowing. Looks great. Campsites are just short distance from the main road. There is a pit toilet (bring your own TP), water, trash, covered picnic table, fire ring. There is a nice small lake so be ready to put the yaks in the water. Beautiful mature trees with long, low branches just make for climbing but I thought I was a bit old for that. Verizon is pretty good.

  Good for an overnight

  We were able to overnight in the parking lot next to the lake which was nice. There were no “rules” so generators were running all night which was a bummer.

  Black Kettle Campground

  Beautiful free campground with a view and plenty to do.

  Got to this site around 1 am and set up for the night. It was clear and dark enough to see the Milky Way. I slept out in the open and fell asleep looking at the stars. Mosquitos didn't show up at all despite it being late May. No running water to be seen but the pit toilets were reasonably sanitary and there is the pond (or is it a lake?) on site. Only one other cper was there. This is BLM so it is free. One of my favorite camp sites, and I camp a lot. Picnic tables, burn pits, trash receptacles on site. Fishing piers, and the water can be approached from several different areas.

  There is fascinating and touching history here and I highly recommend a visit to the Black Kettle Grasslands as well as the Washita Visitor Center. It was my favorite park visitor center of the 32 I've been to in the last 6 months.

  No sign indicating the campground

  According to the internet, there was more than one campground here but I did not find that to be the case. There was only one area that looked like it might be a campground but there was no sign anywhere with the name of the alleged campground. 

  I camped where another man had set up his tent. There were relatively clean vault toilets and some picnic tables. You could hear the road from this 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."

  Good little boondocking site

  Listen, it's a day use area that you just so happen to be allowed to camp in. Its free. There's water and a pit toilet. The lake is pretty. Not going to do better for free and in this stretch of country.

  Great stay!

  Only stayed a night but arrived around 6pm on a Friday and only one other camper was there. Ended up being about 4 spots used by the end of the evening but was spacious enough to feel apart from everyone. Toilets were cleaned and pretty quiet stay. I have AT&T and had good reception. Not every spot has a fire ring but I’d say about half do. Some have little fire stoves instead of rings. Would definitely come back!
