The host Rachael seemed nice enough, but there were many unpleasant surprises. First she had us switch to another platform (hip camp) which resulted in a $20 up charge. Also, there were 2 airports and a railroad nearby, all in operation. It was a pretty place and off the interstate, and seemed to be the best option for our 1-night stopover. We’ll look elsewhere next time.

Close to town but worlds away. We expected the campground to be full for the weekend so we arrived a day early and had our pick of sites. The RV park was nothing special but fairly new and close to the lake. The Oak Slope “tent” camp has no hookups but easily accommodated our small trailer. Beautifully nestled amid open oaks it was peaceful and full of birdsong. It could feel close and crowded if full but it was 3/4 empty this early summer weekend, and the friendly accommodating camp hosts said it never fills. The smaller RV camp no doubt does, and reservations are a must in summer. The lake was nearly full this year after a solid winter of rain and snow.

Facilities at Oak Slope are a bit tired, but major renovations are planned for 2024. Might be good to call the parks office to check.
