Made reservations for a Friday night on the way west and was ahead of schedule so we called and had no problem switching to Thursday. Haven’t been to the Salt Flats yet.
This campground is really quiet during the week, with a beautiful setting on the river below the dam. Plenty of blue heron to watch fish with a constant breeze.
Would return in a heartbeat if nearby.

our dog had a hard time due to the abundance of stickers, and that was the biggest negative about the place.

Stayed May 14-16th to try out our new RV. It's only 1 hour and 20 minutes from our West Oklahoma farm. Our neighbors had loud music but overall nice and quiet setting. We were going to hike at Wichita Recreation Area but the trail head parking lots were full. So we hiked the trails at the State Park. Easy & Beautiful in May.

Sites are right on the Salt Fork Arkansas River bank. Concrete pads for parking on, Electric and water. Plus a dump station to use Google maps had me go down a sketchy gravel road for 4 miles to get here but other than that beautiful ride into the park. Park is well maintained

We were fortunate to stay here during a very warm day at the end of winter. The river road campground was very nice with level concrete pads and excellent rest room facilities. The location along the river was pretty and there were quite a number of birds including white pelicans. There was only one other camper in the entire park. Obviously, if it was full it would be a different experience. There is room for bike riding as well as hiking. We enjoyed a gorgeous sunset over the salt lake.

We had a site right on the river. Site was concrete and level. Included a fire pit, grill and picknick table with trash hook. The park does have a swim beach and play ground. The down side was that our firepit and site had trash in it and around the site. Also the park has alot of sand burrs everywhere. I would recommend going in the early spring or fall when the birds are migrating as the salt flats are one of the main layover spots on their trip north and south.

River spots are on concrete pads with some random ones in the main loops. There are trees on each lot, some of them need a good trim as we hit some smaller branches backing in and we were only 11’3”. We had dead minnows, presumable used for bait, left in our lot, and had to clean up from the previous person. Water hookup is standard but we did have an issue with the power.
We hooked our surgeguard up to 50A and read green across the board. A few hours in it lost power on one pole and tripped off numerous breakers in the RV and GFCIs. I tested the hookup and found a bad lead in the pigtail of the pedestal. Swapped over to the 30A and no issues.
The dump station is narrow and is literally a dump station with only one water hookup to rinse.
The area is very quiet at night and the stars put in a nice show.

What a nice surprise! I never knew about all the state parks in Oklahoma and this might be the most unique. The campsites range from $25-34 for Rv sites. We chose a site right on the water. They have picnic tables, grill, water, electric, and a dump station on site. Reservations can be done online. This place is great for bird watching and the National Wildlife Refuge is nearby. The Great Salt Plains Reservoir is surrounded by several hiking trails with scenic views and the salt flats are vast with an area to dig for selenite crystals.
We were there June 15th through the 18 and it was hot, dry, and windy! But the birdwatching was excellent, we just set up our chairs by the water and saw cormorants, swallows, egrets, and white pelicans. If you walk up to the spillway, you can see turtles, carp, catfish, and snakes. We even saw a bobcat on a back road on our scooter ride. And we saw a road runner! That doesn’t happen every day.
This area is very unique with the salt flats, open water, and several other wildlife environments. I recommend taking the auto tour starting from the refuge on your way to the selenite digging area. I feel like it is Oklahoma’s version of the Everglades. Since this is a migratory stop for many species of birds, we plan on returning in the fall to see if we can catch some of the action.

Once we actually found the tent sites, it was great! Very clean bathrooms and showers. The only noise we heard throughout the night was nature. However there were some early birds rustling around to go fishing early in the morning. Not bad at all though. I would definitely recommend camping out here. The view was great!
Things to consider:
There isn’t any lighting past dark, get there during the light to set up tents. We didn’t have any cell service. The wind is pretty constant, so you might need help setting up your tent (team effort!) the site is difficult to find, very poor signage..
