Wish we could’ve stayed longer despite the weather. Very tranquil, clean, and peaceful campground. Never worried about crime or noisy neighbors. Jimmy and his family are super friendly and helpful. He and park rangers make multiple checks on sites throughout the day. I am now addicted to the water pumped here. Showers were warm and consistent. Caught views of bald eagles and pileated woodpecker. Geese can get loud but it beats sirens and city noise. I’d never camp elsewhere in Oklahoma.

Really nice campground.
Host were super nice and made a requested site change for us, to a more level spot.

Very nice stay, despite the weather. Bathroom and showers were clean. But be forewarned, very few of the sites are even close to level. They either slope significantly toward the front or toward the back. Not a big problem, just be sure you are prepared.
Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and will make plans to return in the future.

The group A campsite was wonderful. I loved how we all had our own camping space and then a common area to meet at.

This campground is CONSISTENTLY EXCELLENT. I have stayed monthly at this campground for nearly three years. However, DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED to discover they will be closing for the winter this year. I count on being able to camp here year round, and now am forced to select a different campground for the winter months....and none of the surrounding campgrounds have any cell signal, or they are also closed. Hoping next winter they choose to stay open year round!

Very Well Maintained Park. ((((CLEAN & QUITE))))
Shower House could use a better cleaning! (We never saw anyone cleaning them, and the spiders / bugs were bad)
We wished they had full hookups, (only Electric, & Water where we stayed)
PSA - we did see a lady cleaning the Bathrooms, but not the Shower Rooms!
Watch out for the Fire Ants! (@ Potato Hills Central the Fire Ants are BAD)
Overall a Great place to stay.
We stayed for 8 nights!
