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.
