Need a weekend vacation? Take a drive in any direction to enjoy an Oklahoma camping trip!

Sometimes we all just need to get out of town. The past year has made it difficult to go on major trips and vacations, but you can find a way to recharge with a stay at one of Oklahoma’s many campgrounds! There are endless locations to set up camp in one of Oklahoma’s 12 ecoregions. This article covers 4 destinations you might choose to visit when you want to break away from OKC for a unique adventure in any direction.

Northeast - visit Oklahoma’s panhandle and enjoy the mysterious sandy dunes at Beaver Dunes Park

Distance from Central OKC: 192 miles, 3-hour 46-minute drive time

The sand dunes are a must see! Imagine if the sandbox you used to play in as a child went through a supersizing event—BAM! you have Beaver Dunes Park. With two campground options available in this special location, it will certainly be worth the journey. Hackberry Bend Campground is located beside the 2-acre Beaver Lake and has 10 tent-only sites and 7 campsites with electric/water hookups. Pioneer Campground sits inside Beaver Dunes Park and offers 13 total sites, all with electric/water hookups.

While in Beaver Dunes Park, you may hear stories of the mysterious disappearances that happened in the 1500s, granting the park its nickname of “Oklahoma’s Bermuda Triangle.” According to  legend, Spanish explorer Coronado witnessed his friends vanish into a bright green light. Recordings of the event were found centuries later in Coronado’s journal, which has inspired additional stories of disappearance. How’s that for a campfire story!

Northwest – for the glamper in your life, check out Blue Bluff Harbor Resort

Distance from Central OKC: 200 miles, 3-hour drive time

Blue Bluff Harbor Resort is the place to be if you love the water and aren’t as keen on camping in a tent.

Southeast – all the activities are offered at Oklahoma’s oldest and largest state park, Lake Murray

Distance from Central OKC: 100 miles, 1 hour 40-minute drive time

Whether your crew wants to ride horses, fish, hike, water ski, swim, golf, sail, or all of the above, Lake Murray should be your next destination for camping. There’s nothing this park doesn’t offer, including floating cabins! When you first arrive, you may consider making a visit to the Nature Center, located on the south end of the lake. At the center, you’ll learn about the natural history and have great photo opportunities with Tucker Tower, which provides a 360 view of the lake and its surroundings.

When you’re ready to set up camp, consider Buzzards Roost Campground for its amazing views or Duke’s Forest Campground for a bit more solitude. The base rate for a primitive tent or RV camp site is $14.00 per night. For sites including electric and water, the rate ranges from $22.00-$30.00 per night.

Southwest – last minute trips don’t need a reservation at Medicine Park

Distance from Central OKC: 85 miles, 1 hour 17-minute drive

For only $15/night, you can book a stunning campsite at Medicine Park. Reservations aren’t accepted for their primitive camping, but you’ll more than likely find a spot if you decide to make a last-minute trip on Friday night. In addition to the spots offered at Medicine Creek’s Primitive Campground, there are plenty of urban campsites offered surrounding the town.

While you are there, make sure to make a visit to Lake Lawtonka, Fort Sill, the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, and Bath Lake. If you have a hiker in your crew, they will love the six trails offered between Lake Lawtonka and Mount Scott. In addition to plenty of outdoor exploration, Medicine Park regularly hosts music festivals, parades, and other events.
