We arrived without a reservation but the host showed us how to book on CampLife.com. After that it was easy. The site was mostly level gravel. There is a picnic table and fire pit. Our site had a nice lake view. Electric only at most sites but I saw some people reaching a hose to the water meant for multiple use. Trash cans are not close. There are lots of trees so nice privacy. We got 40+ channels on antenna. AT&T had 2 bars of 5G but not enough to do serious computing. There are showers and restrooms but they are quite a walk from the lakeside slots.

We stayed 6 nights in this campground. Campground is close to OKC without the noise. Campsites are spread out with plenty of room. Not all campsites have water close by. We stayed here the last week in October and maybe the help left for the year, but the place needs a more detailed cleaning. One campsite had a half burned camp chair in the fire pit and liter all over the campsite for the entire time we camped there. Another site had trash all over and it was never picked up. Looking into the trees you see where people threw bottles, cans, etc. and no one picks it up. We picked up a bag of trash and microtrash just from around our campsite.
Overall I liked the campground and would stay here again.

I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because we couldn’t figure out water spigot.
Beautiful lake view and wooded and very easy access from interstate.

Definitely a beautiful place to camp. Here was my experience: We arrived after 7 hours of being on the road. Lady at the gate said there were many good sites open, but that many sites shared water and many of the spigots were far apart from the sites. I requested a pull through but she said there were non available. We arrived at the site she gave us, which was on a bit of a hill, and I had to park halfway off the hill in order to get my 60 foot hose to reach the spigot. Walking around later, I noticed a wide open pull through with a spigot the same distance away from the site as ours. The spigots are water fill stations that they tell you are water sources for sites. They are not. I would have appreciated just being told that it would be a headache to reach one and I should just fill my freshwater tank. I would also appreciate people knowing exactly which sites are open.

Pulled into OKC thinking i could get into the central Arcadia campground and no plan B. They were able to get me into Scissor Tail tho! There had been flooding so a number of sites were unavailable and some of the available ones had the electricity turned off, mine included but i was right on the water with a cool breeze. Staff were super helpful & nice. There was trash in the water, which i thought was due to the flood but other reviews mention it. So i spent some time picking trash out of the water.

There is only electric at Scissortail Campground at each site. There are some water spigots where you can connect to if you have a 100 ft hose. Water spigots are random and not all sites are close to one. You also need to split the spigot connection to share with a neighboring site. There is a slight grade at most of the sites.

There is only electric at Scissortail Campground at each site. There are some water spigots where you can connect to if you have a 100 ft hose. Water spigots are random and not all sites are close to one. You also need to split the spigot connection to share with a neighboring site. There is a slight grade at most of the sites. Most are back in with a handful of pull thrus some large enough for big rigs. The bathrooms seemed old but clean. Each site had a picnic table, grill counter, fire ring and dirt. There are "premium" sites along Arcadia lake but we stayed in the cheaper offlake sites.
Some of the other campers here looked permanent and sketchy.
Pros - Not crowded in April, relatively cheap, close to Walmart/shopping/OKC.
Cons - Not level sites, ticks everywhere on me, wife and dog, questionable patrons, non-dedicated water, pricing structure overly complicated (premium, non-premium, weekday, weekend).
