Lake Arbuckle at Sulphur, OK

Canton Lake is by far the second cleanest water/beach in Oklahoma that I've ever been to (second to Lake Murray).
The white sand day use beach area is clean and close to the campground (Sandy Cove) we stayed at.
We camped as a group and occupied the spots 11, 13, and 14. The bathrooms/showers are close by. We had water and electric hookups. The campground is clean and camp host is very helpful. Most camp spots are shaded. The nearest gas station is about 8 mins away from the campground. We had fun riding the jetski, swimming, paddleboarding, riding bikes, and chilling around the campfire! Camping is a great bonding time with friends and families. ♥️🏕

Lake Murray Water Sports is a great place to bring the whole family this summer! We went last year and enjoyed it!

One more camping trip checked off my bucket list!

We stayed at Cedar Point at Foss State Park over the weekend and had a great time camping, swimming, riding bikes, and chilling around the campfire. The campground is well-kept and tent spots spread out. Bathroom/toilets are clean and near our campsite. The beach day use area is about 6-7 minutes away. Phone reception was very good at the campsite and beach area. There is a gas station about 6 miles away. We camped near the water but can't really walk to the shore without having to climbed down the rocks. Would be nice if there was access or pathway to the water to launch kayaks or paddleboards but other than that we had a great time!

Anyone here loves to paddleboard? What is your favorite go to places? I usually just use my paddleboard when I'm camping at the lake but would like to discover new places to just go paddleboarding.

It's always good to have a nice place to camp within less an hour drive from your house! We stayed at Oklahoma Lake for the weekend amd we had a great time! It was our first time camping there and there are several things I like about the place. The lake is clean and so is the campground. There is a beach area for day use and no matter how crowded it is, the staff always managed to keep the place clean. Friendly and helpful staff (except for one rude staff) and great spots to pitch your tent at. There are several areas in the lake to fish and swim. They also have plenty of grills to use throughout the beach area and the campsites. Only thing I would like to point out is that there are no shower areas, just porta potties (which btw they are excellent in making sure they're clean and smelling great). I think if they can build a shower/bathroom this place would be a 5 star for me since I only tent camp. When RV camping it's probably not a big issue.
They also sell firewood and ice at the entrance. There is a Dollar General about 3 miles away which is good because if you're like me, I always tend to forget something lol
I will definitely be back to camp but I would probably camp away from the beach area to avoid the crowd during the day. Overall a good camping experience!

This is another cool place to bring the kiddos this summer!

Memorial day weekend at Mulberry River Outdoor Adventures was a blast! It was my first time to go off-roading and I think I found a newfound adventure to love!
This place is highly recommended if you want to go camping, off-roading, and swimming. The place is well taken cared of and the owners are amazing people! They have RV and tent spots, and a newly added loft that is now available to rent. There are also tubes to rent if you want to chill and go down the river. It's a great place to bring the whole family especially this summer!

There's no better way to celebrate my birthday than to go camping! The rain didn't stop me and my friends from having a great time. The Roman Nose State Park is beautiful. We stayed in one of the teepees at Beaver Dam but since there was rain in the forecast, I decided to set up my small tent inside the teepee which was a good idea since the light inside the teepee attracted all the critters 😬 Also, take note that there is a gap at the bottom of the teepees.

The bathrooms are nice and clean. There is electric inside the teepee. A grill, a firepit and a picnic table is available in each camping spot. There is a general store and a restaurant near the campground. We explored the Natural Springs area and the swimming pool. The pool opens on memorial day. There are RV sites and cabins. You can also rent kayaks and paddleboats. The water is so low though so we went to Canton Lake to swim and ride the jetski. Also, I have no phone reception at the campground (I use TMobile, my friend that has Straight Talk has good reception, and another one has AT&T and that also works fine)
Overall, it was a great and relaxing stay!

Does anybody here likes geocaching? A friend of mine introduced me to it over the weekend and I am hooked! My son and I found our very first treasure last saturday!

Salt Plains State Park didn't disappoint! I camped with friends over the weekend at River Road Campground. The campground and the bathrooms are very clean. Our spot was near the water and was shaded. It was very windy but our tents held up pretty good! We also visited the crystal digging site which was about 20 minute drive from the campground. Everyone (kids and adults) had a great time digging! It was overcast and cold but we still had a great time anyway! The store/gas station on main street about 6-8 miles away was the closest we found. Phone service is good. Burn ban was still in effect so no campfires allowed. Playground and bathrooms are walking distance from our camp spot. Another State Park marked off my bucket list! ❤️🏕

First solo camping trip for this year! Robbers Cave State Park is absolutely beautiful. I stayed at Lake Wayne campground. It's smaller compared to the other campgrounds at Robbers Cave but I like that it's not crowded. No restrooms though, but glad I finally got my pop-up bathroom and portable potty that I ordered from Amazon. As always, I got a camping spot near the water with trees for my hammock.
Will definitely come back again soon!

For Spring Break, we went to Fort Worth by train! It was a 4 hr train ride with several stops along the way. The train is nice and clean with a lot of leg room. There is a cafe that serves food and drinks. We stayed at Omni Hotel at downtown which is a few blocks away from the train station. There are several food places around Sundance Square which is also few blocks away from the hotel. Our first day was spent exploring the Fort Worth Zoo and the Stockyards. We expected more of the cattle run from Stockyards but it was only very quick and only few longhorns (5 of them I think). We were hoping to explore more of the place but kids were getting tired and was ready to go back to the hotel. Second day was Water Gardens and more of Sundance Square.
There is Molly Trolley that goes around downtown which is free transportation, and we took Uber rides to places that are a little farther away from downtown. It was overall an amazing experience!
