   Read moreWe stayed here on April 22st and was very pleased with the high quality of this park. Do not let the name fool you because it is a city park for Edmond and not a state park. Nevertheless, it is nicer than most state parks and the best city park we have camped in. Just beautiful with many campsites right on the lake. We stayed in a primitive camp site with paved parking and a table at each site. In middle of April, there was only 1 other camper there out of 30-40 primitive sites. Very nice! It was a million dollar view of the lake from the campsite. There were clean, flush toilets centrally located and drinking water was less than 100 feet away. Campers are allowed to use the showers a short drive away in the RV campground. At a price of $15.20, this was a bargain. RV sites with some or full service is around $26 - $35.
The woman at the park entrance was very friendly and provided lots of information on the park and area. With a location so close to Oklahoma City, it was very surprising how secluded this park felt. We would give this park 5 stars and wish we could have stayed a few more days. Thanks to the officials of Edmond for providing and maintaining such nice facilities. We look forward to coming back and...
   Read moreProb a 7 out of 10 of all the state parks, spots are right on the water or close, bathrooms are ok, but trying to get a spot is a nightmare. Edmond is so outdated they are still in the 60s. The entrance is a clog point, make a bypass for those already inside, dont leave on a sat morning to get donuts, it will take you 45 minutes to get back into the park. Understaffed booth, no way to reserve online, you either roll the dice and show up and hope, or you try and call. Its a monopoly if you're local you just go and grab, if you're not you have to call, they may or may not answer. By the time they do answer a phone drive thrus already have gotten the spaces. They cant reserve a space or tell you when someone is leaving.
