It's Cedar Oaks. Cedar Valley is just west of Guthrie, we stay there too :)

Thanks for every ones info. I think we will try and stop just before Tulsa. Doesn't look like there is a lot to choose from between Tulsa and OKC. Thanks again! Tara:)

How far west of Tulsa?

There may be some RV parks just off the Turner turnpike between Tulsa and OKC, or along old Route 66, but I haven't paid much attention because I'm headed someplace else when on that section of highway. There are Corps recreational access facilities, and a state park, on the north side of Keystone Lake (exit 196) but the parks are a considerable distance south from the turnpike.

There are RV parks (Mingo Valley, and a KOA) where the Will Rogers turnpike ends coming into Tulsa. There are also some nice places around Grand Lake (I prefer Cedar Valley RV Resort in Grove, but there are others and three state parks) between the Missouri line and Tulsa, accessed from the Afton-Grove exit (302) and going either east toward Wyandotte (Twin Bridges SP) or south into Grove.

West of Tulsa, you are well on your way to Oklahoma City, two hours in most cases, and the first good RV park is on the east side of OKC: Twin Fountains, just north of the race track and casino complex.

Before you get into Oklahoma, there are a couple of good RV parks, north one mile (Coachlight) or two miles (Big Red Barn) on I-49/US-71 from the junction with I-44 (exit 18 on I-44).

Hinton is over 720 miles from Indiana. That would be the second night for us.

thanks everyone,I appreciate the info. We might get almost OKC, just wasnt sure how far will fill like traveling first day.:)

It's Red Rock Canyon State Park just south of Hinton. It was a favorite place for wagon trains to stop off - it's cool and there's a creek that comes through the canyon that is beautiful...mid to late summer kites are flying all around and used to the humans teaching the young ones to fly. We trekked there outside OKC (where we live) too test our new travel trailer and loved it. Here's a blog about our visit there with pictures. Call ahead, they have 4 full service spots, but a lot of places with just electricity & sewers - and public restrooms that are fine - clean but old.

Got back about a month ago from a trip to AZ from Ohio. On the way out we spent the night at the Walmart in Chandler, Ok and on the way back at a casino in Hinton, Ok. Both were very adequate, but the casino was a bit closer to 44 and had more services available nearby.

I stayed about 50 miles west of OK City in Hinton OK. It was a nice park, in a small canyon, about 10 miles south of I40. I know it is not exactly what you are looking for, but was a good place. Red Rock Canyon if I recall the name right.
