Beaver Dunes State Park Campground

Came here to fish and saw the campground and decided to stay.

Hackberry sites are concrete pads and level. Spaced close together, but there are only 5 or 6 spots.

There is another campground for the park on the south end of the lake, right on the dunes for off roading.

This used to be a state park, but around 2011 the state closed it and the city took over.

Town is only a couple of miles south and while not big, it has a gas station, market, cafe, and a Pizza Hut.

This place is windy! I pulled in late at night after a full day of driving from the west. There's not a lot of easy to find camping in this part of Oklahoma besides RV parks.

There were plenty of spots available, it was a little confusing figuring out which entrance to use, there are several within one block of each other. I ended up driving onto a golf course accidentally!

You have to pay at the entrance, there is a drop box. I think it was about $10 or $12 when I visited.

The biggest issue was the wind. I have a rooftop tent, and the wind was blowing approximately 30 to 40 mph gusts the night I was there. After about 15 minutes, I was afraid the tent would collapse on me. I actually ended up sleeping in the driver's seat of my van instead.

If the wind wasn't so crazy, it seems like it would be a pretty decent place to stay. There's a couple of nice ponds that look like good fishing.

If you're driving through Oklahoma and need a place to stop for the night, it should work for you, but just check the weather first. If the wind is bad, I don't recommend tent camping or rooftop tents at all at this site.
