There were a lot of folks out and camping. The park is about 10k acres sitting in the start of the Arbuckle Mountains. Great day trip.

Location wise it can get a little confusing. There are several campgrounds spread throughout. I stayed at the campground The Point.

The point also let's you have pets stay. We took our two dogs who seemed to thoughtless enjoyed being out with us. Each plot on The Point is reservable Online, or self-serve pay station. I would say to reserve, as the weekend on a non-holiday it was completely full. There are plots that have water and electric hook-ups. The plot we were on had none, but was the cheapest at $16 a night. Each plot also comes with its own personal parking spot. Our's had a fire. Pit and a bench with an extension. At the Point there are a few non-plumbed facilities as well as one facility with plumbing and showers. Each bathroom of the plumber facilities has its own shower, plus a section of just a single shower with no bathroom. There are plenty of spots to go. Fishing areas are at each of the campgrounds. In addition, there are boat drop off areas, and places to swim in the lake. Unfortunately, no pets are not allowed in the lake or east of Travertine area which is in the northeastern section of the park.

However, we were VERY disappointed in two things: 1) The cabins are old and unkept. We had a hole in the wall near the front door and daylight showing under the front door. The entire cabin was filled with ants. They were on the floor, walls, and ceiling. Every hour I was running around squashing ants. We had to hang everything on hooks/hangers or leave it in the car. Water leaked from underneath the tile in front of the shower. The staff said the State has the money to renovate, but they keep delaying it. So sad to lose customers because they won't spend the money to update it. 2) The pet fee is $40 per day per pet. We had 2 dogs totaling 22 pounds. There was NO extra work on behalf of the staff after we left. Most place charge a deposit that is refundable if there is no damage. They should review their pet policy and consider reducing or eliminating the fee and instead having a refundable deposit. With $80/night for the dogs and $110+ for the cabin, we could have stayed in a nice VRBO home with a fenced backyard and without bugs.

The lights didn't come on while the sun was going down so they may not work. Be cognizant of that if you plan to walk toward the evening.
