What does the “Black Kettle” in Black Kettle Campground mean? It probably refers to the stand of beautiful black walnut trees that encompass the handful of quaint campsites here. However, if you don’t feel like snuggling up to the trees, you can snag one of the few spots along the shore of Dead Warrior Lake. Boaters and anglers may prefer these sunny spots, while hikers and wildlife enthusiasts may opt to stay in the shade. However you like it, Black Kettle’s got you covered!

Deep Creek Ranch

30mi from Black Kettle Campground · 13 sites · Tents, RVs · Sayre, OK

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!

Moonshine Motorsports Museum

46mi from Black Kettle Campground · 1 site · RV · Shamrock, TX

New business on Route 66. Shaded primitive camping site and an RV site (electrical only) available. This is all brand new so we're still working to get things going. We're here to accommodate travelers passing through with inexpensive overnight options as they go down Route 66. Our primary business is our gift shop but we're trying to meet the needs of travelers as well. No onsite restroom available yet but it's a short walk/bike ride/ car ride to public restrooms but we recommend discussing this ahead of time. RVs need to be self sufficient but we have one site with electricity available.
