Rivershire RV Resort & Camping

12 RV Sites

Rivershire RV Resort and Camping in Marland, Oklahoma, offers 12 full-hookup RV sites on the Salt Fork of the Arkansas River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Back-in and pull-through categories join a clubhouse, laundry, showers, and river frontage. Twelve sites run in back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet, with BBQ pits. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple. A laundry, restrooms, showers, and a clubhouse handle the practical side. The river carries the recreation, with fishing, boating, and canoeing and kayaking from the property. The dark north-central Oklahoma sky makes for genuinely good stargazing. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which keeps rates low at a full-service riverfront property. Pets are welcome. Noble County sits in the Rolling Red Hills country, where red-clay bluffs and cross timbers frame the river corridor — a landscape that surprises visitors expecting flat plains. The position is unusually central. Marland sits between Stillwater, Ponca City, and Pawhuska, which puts three genuinely different destinations within easy reach: Oklahoma State University and its game-day energy, the Marland Mansion and Pioneer Woman Museum in Ponca City, and Pawhuska's Osage Nation heritage, the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve's bison herd, and the Pioneer Woman Mercantile. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable Oklahoma conditions, with OSU football weekends and Tallgrass Prairie visits driving distinct spikes. Reserve ahead for game Saturdays.

Soggy Bottom Trails Pub & Campground

56 RV Sites

The concept behind Soggy Bottom Trails Pub & Campground in Wanette, Oklahoma, is genuinely uncommon in the campground industry: 120 acres of trail-laced South Canadian River land with tent sites, full-hookup RV spots, and comfortable cabins — combined with a full on-site pub serving beer, wine, spirits, and a kitchen that actually delivers real food after a day of hiking. The result is a destination campground in the Pottawatomie County countryside that draws guests specifically for the combination of trail access, river setting, and on-site hospitality that most outdoor properties are unwilling or unable to provide. The property's 120 acres front the South Canadian River near the historic Byars-Wanette Railroad bridge, and the terrain is developed with multiple hiking and trail-riding routes that run through diverse riparian and upland terrain. RV sites include full hookup connections, tent sites are spread through natural areas of the grounds, and cabin accommodations provide solid-wall comfort for guests who want the trail-and-pub experience without sleeping in a tent. River access for swimming, wading, and fishing is available directly from the property, and the natural setting — trees, wildlife, and the South Canadian's sandy-bottomed character — provides the kind of outdoor immersion that the pub and cabins are specifically designed to celebrate. The South Canadian River in this stretch of central Oklahoma runs through a landscape of red clay banks, post oak and blackjack oak uplands, and the meandering floodplain character typical of Oklahoma's river systems. Wildlife viewing on the property includes white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and the diverse bird community supported by the riparian corridor, and the trail network designed specifically for Soggy Bottom guests gives the 120 acres an intentional outdoor structure that rewards multiple days of exploration rather than a single pass-through. The regional outdoor attractions extend the activity options well beyond the property itself. Chickasaw National Recreation Area in Sulphur — with its natural mineral springs, travertine creek swimming, Lake of the Arbuckles, and camping within a National Park Service site — is within driving range and provides a fascinating complement to the South Canadian River character of Soggy Bottom. Turner Falls Park in Davis, featuring Oklahoma's largest waterfall and swimming at the base of the falls, is another anchor destination in the broader south-central Oklahoma outdoor corridor. Lake Thunderbird State Park near Norman adds boating and fishing options to the regional day-trip roster. Soggy Bottom Trails Pub & Campground is an outdoor destination that operates most effectively as a multi-night stay — one night is barely enough to try the pub, walk the trails, and get a sense of the river. The spring and fall seasons deliver ideal trail conditions and the most comfortable temperatures for the full South Canadian River experience. Summer stays are active with river swimming and evening pub gatherings under the Oklahoma sky. Reserve cabins and premium RV sites well ahead for spring weekends, when trail riding and hiking demand across the region peaks and the property's distinctive character draws guests from across Oklahoma and beyond.

Roadrunner Ranch RV Resort

40 RV Sites

Roadrunner Ranch RV Resort in Marietta, OK, offers 40 full-hookup pull-thru RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Every site is a premium 30/50-amp pull-thru carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a picnic table, and ADA-accessible sites are available. Nothing needs unhitching, which is the whole design here. The resort is gated and rated big rig friendly. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and a community fire pit cover the essentials, and pets are welcome with a dog park. The grounds are clean and modern rather than amenity-heavy — corn hole, picnicking, birding, and a genuinely dark Oklahoma sky for stargazing, with lake, river, and boating access nearby. Marietta sits at the southern edge of Oklahoma minutes from the Texas border, close to Lake Murray and within easy reach of WinStar World Casino — a mile-long gaming floor and the largest casino in the world — plus the 6,500-seat Lucas Oil Live concert venue. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Concert and event weekends at WinStar fill this park, so reserve ahead when something's on the calendar.

Route 62 Motor Resort

21 RV Sites, 8 Cabins, 12 Tipis, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer

Route 62 Motor Resort in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, offers full-hookup RV sites, tent camping and cabin rentals with an outdoor pool, a hot tub, a clubhouse and mini-golf, fronting Historic Highway 62 on the main approach into town. Sites are big-rig friendly and take rigs up to 45 feet. A storm shelter on site is worth noting in a region that takes spring weather seriously. Full-hookup RV sites accommodate rigs to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Tent sites serve campers traveling light, and cabins provide enclosed lodging. A general store stocks camp basics, laundry, bathrooms and showers handle longer stays, and WiFi reaches the sites. The on-site storm shelter is a genuine practical feature for spring and early-summer stays in the Ozarks. On-site recreation covers both weather patterns. An outdoor pool and hot tub anchor the warm season, a clubhouse and mini-golf work regardless, and a community fire pit provides the evening gathering point. Shuffleboard, picnicking and stargazing fill out the property, and the resort's lake supports fishing, boating, swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. Hiking and biking run from the grounds, and bird and wildlife watching is productive across the Ozark hardwood setting. Pets are welcome. The Eureka Springs Historic District is the most intact Victorian spa townscape in the mid-South — built on hillsides so steep no two streets cross at grade, with Basin Spring still flowing in the downtown park where the resort town began in 1879. Thorncrown Chapel sits four miles west on US-62, E. Fay Jones's 1980 glass-and-Douglas-fir chapel that the AIA ranked the fourth greatest American architectural work of the twentieth century. Beaver Lake's 28,000 acres lie 10 miles southeast. The resort operates year-round. Spring wildflowers in April and May and October foliage on the Ozark ridgelines are the two most spectacular windows. Reserve ahead for the Blues Festival, the opera season and the fall color peak.

Mena Cabins

Mena Cabins in Mena, Arkansas, offers cabins and modern glamping units in the Ouachita Mountains at the base of Rich Mountain, the second-highest peak in the state. On-site dining, walking trails, and WiFi serve a mountain property built around trail riding, hiking, fishing, and stargazing in the Arkansas-Oklahoma border country. The accommodations are the product here. Modern glamping units come with climate control, furnishings, bed linens, kitchenettes, fire pits, and covered outdoor spaces that make mountain weather manageable — the bridge between camping and lodging. Cabin options provide fully enclosed, private shelter in the forested Ouachita setting. On-site dining covers meals, and WiFi reaches the property. Walking trails run the grounds along the creek, with fishing, hiking, and picnicking from the property. The dark mountain sky makes stargazing one of the genuine draws. Off-roading is nearby — the Wolf Pen Gap ATV trail system has made the Mena area one of the most active outdoor recreation destinations in western Arkansas, and riders form a significant share of the local visitor base. Mena sits in Polk County in the Ouachita National Forest's ridge-and-valley terrain. The Talimena Scenic Drive runs the ridgeline from here toward Oklahoma, carrying some of the best fall color in the mid-South, and Queen Wilhelmina State Park sits atop Rich Mountain. The property serves the Ouachita season across the year, with trail riding, hiking, and fishing shifting through it. October foliage on the Talimena Drive is the most spectacular window and the busiest — reserve well ahead for fall color weekends, when lodging across the Mena area fills.

66 RV Sites, 30 Tent Sites

Flying Horse RV Park in Bowie, Texas, offers 66 full-hookup back-in RV sites and 30 tent sites near Amon G. Carter Lake, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet.

Sixty-six back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and BBQ pits.

A general store, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A stocked fishing pond and fishing pier anchor the recreation, with a clubhouse, community fire pit, pickleball, and hiking filling the rest. The outdoor kitchen and deck facilities give the park a community-oriented character that guests consistently note. The open Montague County ranching horizon makes for genuinely dark skies and reliable stargazing. Pets are welcome. Bowie sits in north Texas ranching country, with Amon G. Carter Lake nearby for boating and fishing and the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex within reasonable driving range to the southeast. Wichita Falls is a straightforward drive northwest. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable north Texas conditions and the best fishing. Summer draws lake traffic. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends and holiday periods.

Creek Crossing RV Park

2 RV Sites

Creek Crossing RV Park in Anna, Texas, offers two full-hookup pull-through RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. A single pull-through category joins a recreation center, pavilion, laundry, community fire pit, playground, walking trails, and dog park. Two sites are pull-through, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet. One consistent spec and no backing after a driving day. A laundry, restrooms, showers, and a recreation center handle the practical side. A recreation center, pavilion, community fire pit, playground, walking trails, and dog park fill the grounds, with picnicking, productive birding, and genuinely good stargazing. At two sites the laundry, showers, and recreation center are effectively private, and the quiet is the point — this is a small, well-kept park rather than a row of pads. Pets are welcome. Melissa is a ten-minute drive for groceries, restaurants, and a pharmacy. The park sits on County Road 424 off Highway 121 in Collin County's fast-growing northern Dallas corridor, with Lake Lavon and Lake Ray Roberts close and downtown McKinney's square worth the trip. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable North Texas conditions. Demand runs steadily on corridor growth rather than a tourist season. Reserve ahead, and ask about extended-stay rates.
