This was my last stop on a 2 week road trip and it was a cool find close OKC. After spending a couple hours driving through TX and OK, this spot doesn’t even feel like Oklahoma. It gets very hot during the day but the canyon tent sites have a good amount of shade and are a lot cooler. There are also some great walking trails since it used to be a State Park.

After 5 days in Moab, it was a nice change of pace to be in the woods. This campground is beautiful and walkable to GC village, market, and rim trail access. There is a lot of wildlife. I saw some elk on the grounds as soon as I pulled in and heard a pack of coyotes howling when I woke up at 5:30 am to catch the sunrise. My only (minor) complaint is how crowded it was but that is to be expected. I only stayed one night but I definitely will be back!

I had to change course on a road trip last minute which kept me in Southern CO on my way to UT instead of going north of Telluride. I found a tent site here last minute and it was such a gem! My site was right on the river and it was super spacious. The amenities were SPOTLESS. The cleanest showers I’ve ever encountered whilst camping and the bathrooms were HEATED! After a couple days of Colorado BLM pit toilets, I felt like I was glamping. The staff is incredibly welcoming and the grounds were very dog friendly. Would 100% recommend staying here if you’re ever passing through.

I was planning to car camp on some public land after a day at Great Sand Dunes. As I was driving out, I passed Oasis’s store and decided to stop for some ice and firewood. As I was driving out to my site for the night, I saw super dark skies and lightening. I checked the forecast and realized it took a turn and I could expect thunderstorms all night. I decided to give them a call 30 minutes before they closed to see if they had any cabins available and they did! The cabins are super primitive and you have to be fully equipped for tent camping. They are only $55 a night which is a steal that close to a National Park. They typically don’t allow dogs in the cabins, but given the forecast let me stay with my sweet pup for an extra $20. They had an awesome view of the dunes and it was a really great night to have a roof over my head. Could not be more grateful to the amazing staff here!

Moab was poppin’ on a Wednesday when I came to town and I was SUPER lucky to snag the last available site here. It was super comfy, right on the river, and all of my neighbors were so nice. I ended up staying an extra two days! The view was serene, the stars at night were unreal, and it is only 15 minutes from town whenever you need to stock up on supplies.
