Best Glamping near Quanah, TX

This RV park is right off the main thoroughfare, next to the local Walmart. There is even a path to the Walmart parking lot at the edge of the park.

Wifi was down for our one night visit, due to severe weather that knocked out a wire/cable in town.

Sites are mostly grass. We got a pull through for our visit. Sites are a mix of long-term stays and overnight stays. Our picnic table was apparently a shared resource, as it was used by the site next door residents in front of our RV.

There is a small pool, but we did not use it. There is also a playground on site and a pet area.

This park was turned back over to the state in 2020 and is exactly how I remembered it from the 80’s. Tucked down in southwest Oklahoma in the Wichita Mountains, it’s a small park but has LOTS of options. There are RV and tent Campgrounds, cabins, a very modern lodge with 96 rooms, group pavilions, and a dormitory. There’s a full restaurant, ORV trails, hiking trails, a river and a lake. Something for everyone.

We stayed in the Mountain View campground which has concrete pads and didn’t have to level our rig at all. Electric and water and steps to the flush bathroom that has a shower in it. It backs up to the lake berm and has a view of one of the mountains. Not much cover but we didn’t need it as it was cloudy during our stay. LOTS of stickers. Beware especially if you have long haired dogs.

We camped here in May 2019 in the tent camping area right on the river, just below the dam.   There is no electricity for the tent sites.  There is water, but not at every tent site.  Each tent site had a picnic table, fire ring and grill.  This campsite caters to RV's and it looks like several of the RV's live there year round.  There is a store.  We were the only ones camping in the tent area until our last day, we stayed 3 nights.  There is a bathroom (no shower) at one end.  Other bathrooms in the campground have showers.  We drove to the bathroom by the store and took a shower one day.  Even though we were the only tent campers, there was an extreme amount of traffic on the road.  The area had record amounts of rain and all the gates on the dam were open which had not happened in 20 years.  So, there were a lot of locals that came to see it.  We climbed Quartz Mountain on the first day.  There is not a well marked trail, you just have to try and find the path of least resistance and not die.  The view is well worth the hike (hiking shoes are a must, lots of slick rock).  You can see all the surrounding mountains, the dam, the lake, etc. from the top.  There are many hiking trails, not very many bike trails.  There is a paved bike trail, but it's not very long.  We did use our bikes to ride around the campground and up on top of the dam.  Tent sites are $10/night. If you're looking for a campground with lots of amenities, this is a good one.

First stop on this tour from Dallas TX to New Mexico and back

I had choosen this place out of location ,it has a walmart in walking distance.

We got delayed from start of pickup our RV and got here a lot later then we had intended, so I wrote the owner a message and she answered rapid how to find it and where to find our paperwork. 

We found the spot and got settled and went into bathrooms that was the most clean bathroom I have ever seen in a campground.

Slept a good night sleep and had some things we needed to fix on the RV rental and here the owner is very happy and good to help out and had the parts we needed.

And then we was off again

When I visited the park I was very excited having seen some of the trails and also the lodge area.    Unfortunately much of that was closed as a result of improvement projects, sadly limiting some of the things which were accessible to me upon my visit.   I instead settled into a campsite and checked out the beach area.   

The campsites were pretty close together in most loops  and because it is a very popular lake, it was a bit loud for my liking still I had shade a picnic table, fire ring and some basic amenities.   The restrooms were in decent shape but a bit outdated, a part of the improvement project is to create better facilities throughout the many loops also.  

I enjoyed the sites which were a bit further from the waterfront itself because they seem to have less noise from trucks with loud pipes.    

The beachfront was vast and amazing I could easily say this was what made it worth the trip.  You could walk the beach, get in the water or enjoy a picnic through one of the shaded areas.    A couple of small trails were accessible however because many were not these were very crowded also.  In addition the nature center was currently closed.

I would like to return to this site after renovations are complete and give it another shot.  It had all the makings of being able to be a really nice place to stay and enjoy lake activities.
