We stayed at this campground for just two nights as we are passing through on our way back to Arizona. Most of the reviews that I've looked at for this campground on a RV specific app have given this campground five stars, primarily because the owner is kind.
While I would agree immensely that the owner is very kind and helpful, this is absolutely not a five star RV park. There are quite a few long-term, ramshackle type campers here that need cleaning, maintenance and a yard pick up. I would also say there are long-termers here potentially for the summer season. Everyone was quiet so that part of the stay was fine, but I definitely feel there was some misrepresentation from other reviewers.
The pool is a nice feature and the kids that are living in the Park seem to enjoy it! We did not use any of the public facilities such as the laundry, the bathhouse or the public restrooms.
The owner also operates a U-Haul rental business from the front part of the campground, so you can't miss finding this place.
We paid $45 a night and it is about 15 minutes outside of the main city of Sallisaw OK. The Wi-Fi was very spotty, we were given two different networks to try to use and we had to switch back-and-forth between them. Verizon signal is really terrible so if that is what you have you are going to need weboost or something to help you along.
We did take a day trip about a 40 minute ride into Fort Smith to explore the historic fort there that was a day well spent and I wrote a separate review for that.
I also wrote a review for shads catfish hole, which is basically across the highway and behind the gas station from this place. A very surprising find that was recommended as a local place for steak and seafood. I can recommend this place.
All the utilities worked fine- our site was pull through. We had very little room on the pleasure side of our RV for any chairs so we did not sit outside at all.
There is no Lake here, contrary to the name. The only water area was toward the back of the camp and is clearly marked as a waste water area. read more
