"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."
"Shady picnics tables. Car or tent camping ok!"
GuideWe 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!
LegendWhen 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.

GuideAccording 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.

GuideOn 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.

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.

LegendAt 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.

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.

GuideWe 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!
