Beautiful area! Camp sites are well kept and clean. There are restrooms and showers, by far the cleanest I have seen. Cant speak for every weekend but it was quiet and peaceful when we visited. I would definitely reccomend! Cant wait to visit again!

Love the improvements. The side walks at little axe camp grounds. Would love a trail around the lake there.

Went out to our favorite spot out at Thunderbird today 7-22-19 & there was SO MUCH trash on the beach area & grass area. We were there only ones swimming this evening so we had the swim area to ourselves. So we noticed the trash so we started picking it up & making a pile because we didnt have any bags with us too place the trash. We found tons of beer cans, pop cans, water bottles, shirts, shoes, goggles, lots of lids, pieces of candy wrappers, lots of plastic bags, dirty diapers, even found a snorkel and barbecue tongs. It makes you really sad to think that people just leave stuff out everywhere like that when there is lots of wildlife that use this area as well. We were worried about the birds eating the trash and getting sick and dying so we picked it up. Next time youre at the lake dont be lazy and pick up your trash. If two 8 year olds and a 4 year-old can figure it out Im sure everyone else can to. Do your part. We also picked up all the life jackets that were just left everywhere to float off. Those are there for people to use as safety devices that are free for people to use you would think the least they could do is hang them back up when theyre done. Thanks.

We decided to go camping last minute and drove out here from OKC on a November weekend. There were very few other campers and we had a large area near the lake to ourselves. We picked a campsite with some good trees for hanging hammocks and we were set! The campground host and her husband were very friendly and personable. Can wait to go back!

My kids an I havent been camping in so long. It was amazing to go and spend time walking around enjoying the outdoors. Cant wait to go back

Could have been a bit cleaner since they charge you to park after you rent a space to camp. Would be nice to see them establish the beach areas better and grade the lumpy areas of grass out..

Growing up in Norman it has always been a little escape just east of town. With great fishing walking and bike trails swimming, picnic areas and boat rentals.

It was great so many spots to tent for you Rv, camper, tent, or you can even rent spots by the beach for any sort of meet-up. One down about it is the cold water in the showers did not work. So if you have a sunburn like I did I advise you wait till you get home other wise I was pretty happy with it!

The park is really nice and the camping spots are nice as well. I am not sure why you have to use quarters for the showers. I have never seen that until I came to this state. I am not sure why a decent shower is not part of the price you pay for your camping site. If that doesnt bother you then the camping is great.

Camping here is what you would expect given that the common nickname is Dirty-bird. The tent areas were very rowdy, but the RV site with electric were much more tolerable.I do wish that the bathrooms had soap or hand sanitizer. They were passable otherwise.

We came to the little axe side and we werent disappointed. They have specialized tent sites with level pads that are graveled. (Thats the only downside, because its hard on the bottom of you tent) I would bring padding or air mattress. The sites each have grills/ fire pits, with easy beach access. Big day use area with playground for the kids with day use swimming area. Definitely a family friendly place with an great atmosphere. Definitely gonna be going my back.

Stayed for the weekend in the rv camping area, found a spot with a nice view and not right next to someone else. The stay was great and peaceful. The scenery was nice. I would say it was quiet but the closest neighbor was having a party, so there is that. But it happens. The bathrooms are semi clean and pretty centrally located. We went for a walk and the only issue that we found was on the swim beach area, so much goose poop it was ridiculous. But other than than the stay was great. Highly reccomend.

The cost to get in and park is $5. If youre wanting to sit under a pavilion, a family size pavilion with 2 picnic tables and a grill cost $25 for the day. The facilities are decent. They have bathrooms with showers and a playground for kids. However, the lake waters were high because of flooding and the water was full of mud. The shores smelled of literal poo (I even heard kids playing in the lake say that the water smelled like a stinky diaper) I didnt really get in the water but my boyfriend did and he said that, while the water was dirty, it was cool and felt nice.

Clean, good amount of space between tent sites, bathrooms and shower stalls close to sites. We went camping for the first time as a complete family. (We took our puppy) camp sites are $19 a night. Really nice view of the lake. We had an amazing time. No rowdy camp neighbors. If anything we mightve been the rowdy ones, our 2 toddlers really know love screaming like psychopaths when they let loose. Definitely will be going back. Highly recommend.

My son rented a pavilion for grandsons birthday swim party. Everything was great except you are only allowed 1 vehicle with the pavilion rental so everyone attending had to pay $5.00 to come into the Little Axe camping area even parents just dropping off their kids for the party had to pay $5.00 just to drive in, drop their child then leave.

This time of the year there are numerous campsites to choose from. Super clean and the overall campsite is easy to manuever through. The camp hosts are very friendly and helpful. The Little Axe area is only about a 20 minute ride from Norman and we will return.

Very clean and beautiful place to visit or to camp out. One place has fool hook ups $27 a night. It cost $5 to just go and look at the sites. This fee is waived for, Oklahoma Residents 62 + and Honorable Discharge Veterans. I picked out several, lots of shade trees. Cement slabs. Other places great for tents at $19 a nightLots of places have electric and water.I am going back to camp. Name Little Axe Campground

Rented the large pavilion for my sons birthday. It was perfect, and was a hit! There are two double grills there, so plenty of grill space for lots of people. We probably had 50 people show up and had plenty of room. It was nice having the lake, playground, and bathrooms all right there. Would definitely do it again.
