    Decent park with lengthy trails. Great place to touch grass. The restaurant inside the center is…read moreclosed, though I don't know if that's permanent. I think there was a sign to watch for snakes. Oh, nature.

    I have been coming here since I was little, brought my kids here and now my grandkids. It's always…read morebeen so much fun to go and make memories, take pictures with beautiful backgrounds and such awesome fun...but today when we went, I thought why even waste our time anymore!? I had to take my walker down the handicapped ramp, which was a lot easier going down than coming back up! My granddaughter was so excited. I had two of my son's with me, my daughter, her husband and Kirie, my bright and energetic ray of sunshine. She just couldn't wait to get down the mountain to play on the big toy and put her feet in the creek as we have always done. When we got down there the first we noticed was the big play place had been taken down, nothing left but a big sand pit. We thought we'd take some pictures on the bridge and head on over to the waterfall and cave to play in the water. For generations people has been coming and enjoying the cave. Years of fun and fond memories have been made here. There was already people on both sides of the bridge in the smaller creek bed playing so we merged on. Up the mountain we saw signs posted and a big wooden fence blocking the waterfall and cave!? What is this? A fence? Why? For years kids have enjoyed this place, I've never known of anyone ever hurt here! I felt that new people have come in with their fancy signs and fences, taking away the swings and slides and leaving us with nothing. We got to the second bridge and my kids went to check out the pond. There were more people in the pond swimming, which was nice to hear..at least they haven't robbed us of all the watering spots...so we had wasted a trip. Why not work on making those bridges sturdier? My son-in-law found loose boards that's more hazardous to our safety! I knew those were the same bridges from over 20 years ago because I found the same names that were carved into them from back then. If they are so worried about safety, start there! Not get rid of all the good stuff! I couldn't make it across the second bridge so I waited for everyone to come back and we started heading back to the vehicle. It's so hard for me to get down here anymore, I don't know if I'll even try it again and absolutely not with its present state. My granddaughter was so unhappy, everyone was just so upset we spent all this time for nothing. We'll find another park to take her to I just think this is such a shame, the condition of this one and the loss of more memories. It's just so sad.

    In order to talk about Roman Nose General Store, I have to mention the park that it operates in…read moreabout an hour and 15 minutes west and north of Oklahoma City. Roman Nose State Park, named after Cheyenne Chief Henry, is one of the original seven Oklahoma State Parks. A former Cheyenne winter camp, the park is set in a beautiful canyon, surrounded by gypsum rock cliffs. Roman Nose boasts a stunning golf course, stables for horseback riding, hiking trails, WPA buildings, an enormous spring fed swimming pool and two spring fed trout stocked lakes. There are Cabins, Tee Pees and camping areas as well as a Lodge, originally constructed in 1956, and renovated in 2010 to reflect the natural landscape of the surrounding area. It's beautiful. The Lodge does not have dining at this time and that is not a loss, if you don't mind driving up canyon to the General Store. A rustic looking building, the General Store rents canoes, kayaks and paddleboats and sets up horseback riding rentals. Their "store" has a little bit of everything campers might need and fun stuff as well. Oodles of ice cream goodies, beverages and snacks plus a wide array of gear and accessories. Their are Games for rainy hours or nighttime leisure hours as well as the usual first aid essentials. The restaurant itself has comfortably distanced family sized tables in a large dining room. There's a smaller deck with tighter spaced tables. Bathrooms were big and clean. There were paper menus, weekend specials, lots of variety and a Sunday Breakfast Buffet that we had just missed the day before. We were told they do Breakfast all day, which is nice; but their 1/3 lb. Burgers sounded pretty good to us. Basically build your own, we both opted for cheeseburgers and chose sides. It was tough choosing though. In addition to a lengthy Breakfast menu, they had Catfish, Pork Chops, Chicken Fried Steak, Indian Tacos, Chef Salad and a whole section of sandwiches and appetizers. The burgers were cooked medium as requested and delicious. My husband loved his fries and my okra portion was both crispy and overly generous. The bacon was perfect. Seriously. I almost ate it separately! We had a good time. The staff were enthusiastic and friendly. We were on our way out of the park, as we had just stayed overnight at the beautiful Lodge to swim, rest and enjoy the scenery before traveling on to Oklahoma City. I recommend both places in this lovely park, actually. I would be remiss not to mention, though, that one of the lakes is empty at this time while they rebuild the earthen dam - Lake Watonga, I believe. The lake at the Lodge and in front of the General Store is full. https://www.travelok.com/state-parks/roman-nose-state-park

We ate at the restaurant, and while it wasn't that great, it was ok and easy. The people who own or work there were very friendly. They have kayaks and paddle boats to rent. We rented a paddle boat, kinda expensive for what we got but ehhh it was ok. Grandson was happy. Over all nice trip, and getaway.

When my sister and I decided to go to…read moreOklahoma State University we have had graduation parties and family member bring their RV's and stay here since 2014. Our spot would always be at pine grove and would go fishing in their crappie pond and were thrilled when they added the new sand beach. Now in 2025, they have made our spot (Pine Grove) where me and many other families have always taken our spring break, fall break and other week vacations at and "annual only site" and closed it off. We thought okay that sucks but we can try out the others sites. We decided to try out Beaver Cove and that has been a MAJOR disappointment. The sites look like they have not been tidied up in who knows how long and their bathrooms are unclean and do not have any soap ever! No decent swimming/fishing areas around it. And ticks everywhere! You would figure if they decided to close off pine grove they would fix up the non-annual spots but no! Seems to be more about the money considering there are more annual spots than non-annual and they are better taken care of. After 11 years of camping here we have decided to look elsewhere to camp. So so so disappointed!!!!
