Campgrounds south of Oklahoma City

Purcell exit there is Chandler city park As I recall you turn right at the m donalds its 35 miles from ok decent place I have stopped there a few times as the drive down 35 is kind of boring

We use Elephant Rock Campground in Lake Murray State Park (between Ardmore and Marietta). It's exit 24 off I35 as I remember. No reservations accepted. Park and they will find you for your money... but I don't know how they are loaded for Easter weekend.

If you want to be directly south of OKC, Lake Thunderbird State Park is a nice choice - here's the park info. If you want to be an hour west of OKC, Red Rock Canyon State Park is an excellent choice. Call ahead as they only have a few full-hookups available.

At OK exit 1, you will find Winstar casino which is 125mi before OKC.

Elephant Rock on Lake Murray is an excellent choice and it located about 10 miles south of Ardmore Oklahoma.

If anyone knows of a campground within 100 miles south of Oklahoma City near highest 35. I need one today

So, BettyBoop7, where did you stay?

We stayed twice in Norman, Ok (just south of OK city). this winter going and coming back from Texas. It was the River Wind casino right by I-35. I called them and asked if there was RV parking and they were enthusiastic about having us and said there was a big buffet breakfast and the shuttle would pick us up and take us to the door and back with 24 security. Very nice people and the security parked with in 300' of us all night. Best of all it was free so we felt compelled to at least have the breakfast. I'd stay there anytime!

Mr Dan We stayed at a campground next door to Arbuckle Mountain Fried Pies. Can't remember the name Nothing special, just spent the night there and left early in the morning. I did go next door and buy some of their fried pies. They were delicious. I wanted to stay at Turner Falls but did not really know a lot about their sites. The office was closed so no one would answer phone. Also appreciate the recommendation for High Plains Diner in Bennett. The food was delicious. The trip was a huge success, even though we had to go a little farther east to Lincoln Nebraska because our potty broke and we got a new one installed. One of the highlights of the trip was Boyer Museum of Animated Carvings in Belleville Kansas 1205 Main Street 785-527-5884. Totally amazing They are not open yet but she opened for us since I told her we would probably never be that way again. Highly recommend this stop. The man is a genius with a fourth grade education.

We always stop at the fried pies and eat so many we aren't hungry for dinner. If you can get to the Norman Airport ever, Ozzies breakfast there is amazing and there is room for an RV.
