  Wolf Creek Park - Perryton

  Nice campground

  The shower was cold and lacked water pressure but besides that it’s a nice place, there was trash at my cite, run down older park but that’s just this area. Nice place to visit if ur passing through

  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.

  Texas Route 66 RV Park

  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.

  Quiet Beautiful Stay

  This spot is a hidden gem! Very quiet and peaceful. There were a few other people there the night we stayed but definitely still plenty of room to spread out from one another and still have your own private space. We originally planned to stay at spring creek but we got there late in the evening and all the spots had already been claimed. To be fair there was only 3 spots so not many to choose from but would have definitely preferred to stay at the one. But either options are excellent choices!

  Absolutely dreamy!

  We van life and stayed here for 5 days and it was magical! Quiet and peaceful the entire stay. Only one other camper besides myself and my boyfriend. Max stay is 14 days. Great, scenic picnic tables right by the lake, lots of space for tents, vault toilets (no showers) and totally free! Enjoy!

  A great place to camp

  I had a great time here. I spent 4 days hiking the area during the day. At night, the sky seemed to rip open above. Great place to stargaze.

  Texas Route 66 RV Park

  I called this place Bate’s park 12 yrs ago… it’s delightful now!

  I swore to not stop in Shamrock TX again, this was the only park back then it was worth missing. I’m so glad in my newest version of life, I gave it another try! Great looooong pull through and actually had good Wi-Fi! Stock animals and office/ retail improvements a nice plus. Weather was too wet to check out facilities but seems to have Rr, showers and laundry. Latest owners seem to be into making it a nice place. We will come again!

  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.

  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!

  Wonderful and Quiet

  Beautiful grassy location right by a fish stocked lake. There are wells around the area that you can use for free. There are also vault toilets around. Can stay 2 weeks.

  Great free campsite

  I got to the campsite very late, but was surprised by how nice it was when I woke up. There are bathrooms and plenty of picnic tables. It was a clean campsite with no trash. There is a little hike there that leads you through wetlands, forrest, and pasture.

  Excellent

  We were the only ones to stay here for the night. A very beautiful place. Came in at night and just parked and set up tents where we could. You could see lots of stars at night and there was little sound of traffic. Very clean, and had bathrooms and trash cans as well. Colors of the land are very nice as well. In the Morning a park worker came in around 1030 to clean the bathrooms and change trash. I also explored a little more and found a lake over the hill. Easy park to access, roads are good to get to it. Good service with Verizon as well

  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.

  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!

  Wonderful sunsets

  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.

  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.

  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.

  Lake Marvin Campground

  Very quiet, we were the only people in the campground the 3 nights we were there. They had water and 30 Amp service but no dump stations. The cost is 20.00 a night for an RV, but tent camping is free. The grounds were well kept and mowed, very clean. There is traffic as people drove through the site but no one stayed overnight. Nice place to get away.

  The people here are so friendly! They are remodeling/upgrading the bathrooms and showers, so all of them aren’t available right now. Despite that , it is a great place to stay and will be amazing when the upgrades are done! And they have decals!!

  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.

  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.

  Farmland oasis

  On a Friday night, we were the only folks camping at Skipout Lake. It was beautiful weather. This shelterbelt definitely saved us from some high winds. If you can mind the fire ants and pick up a few pieces of trash, this place is a gem. Wonderful trail, first class dock to fish from, beautiful wildflowers, potable water, vault toilet, boat ramp.

  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.
