Welcome to our newly revitalized RV park, nestled along the iconic Route 66, just off I-40 in the heart of western Oklahoma. Originally established years ago, this park had great bones, and in the spring of 2024, we took on the challenge of bringing it back to life. Conveniently located between Oklahoma City, OK, and Amarillo, TX, and just a short drive from Elk City, our park offers a perfect retreat for travelers exploring the historic Mother Road. We've worked hard to preserve the park's vintage charm while adding modern amenities to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Our recent upgrades include a fenced-in dog park where your furry friends can roam freely, a cozy sunken fire pit for evening gatherings, and a game area featuring horseshoe, corn hole, and tetherball for family fun. The old office has been completely remodeled, now housing air-conditioned private bathroom and shower for your convenience. We’ve also added an air-conditioned coin laundry room to make your stay even more comfortable. For those looking to explore the outdoors, we offer horseback riding and hunting opportunities on the adjacent ranch property we acquired. As we continue to grow, we’re committed to adding even more features and amenities to enhance your experience. Whether you’re a history buff, an outdoor enthusiast, or just passing through, our park is the perfect stop on your Route 66 adventure. We look forward to welcoming you!

Overview

About

Near Cheyenne, Oklahoma, nature lovers can explore 30,724 acres of the Black Kettle National Grassland. If you're willing to make the trip, this remote spot in Western Oklahoma is full of adventure. Check out the Black Kettle Recreation Area for hiking, fishing, boating, and chillaxin', plus two camping areas. The Antelope Hills are another can't-miss. They used to be known as the Boundary Mountains, and they marked the 100th Meridian. Plus, they separated the U.S. from Spain back in the day.
