Lake El Reno RV Park

We needed to stop on our trip out to Utah from Georgia, and this little park was perfect! Clean and tidy sites, enough space on either side, clean bathhouse, and super affordable. I only wish we had a little longer to stay! The office was closed when we arrived, so we simply called the number posted and spoke with someone about a site. We put our money in an envelope and left it where instructed, and we got set up for the evening.

We looked for the pay station upon arrival, and there was none before campground. So we parked and thought we would pay later. At 6:30, we had a honking side by side at our door, demanding payment. The host was very rude and demanding to us. It seems the city has problems collecting the fees and installed camera's at each site. Our neighbor, had not paid yet either. So we paid the $20 fee for elec/water. The site was not long enough for our 30' trailer and truck, so we parked it in the site next to ours. Only 2 of us in campground! Next the other camphost arrived and tore into us for being rude! And threatened to have us pay another campsite fee for the truck....well now it is parked into the road so other campers can't get by. What a fiasco.

The park is well kept and nice.

This (first come first serve only) campground is split into two main parts. East side: Sites 1-20 water and electric $20/nightly. West side: sites 21 –52 full hookups $25.00/nightly. No dump station, but if there is an open site on the west end, you can dump after camping on the east end. If not site is open, there is a free dump station in town. Pay at the office located at the West Side RV Park in cash or check only, no cards accepted. Restrooms with showers located at the West Side are old but well maintained. 14 days max stay. The campground is few miles from El Reno and near Interstate 40. El Reno has restaurants, grocery, Walmart, and a great laundromat. It’s approx 30 miles from Oklahoma City.
The campground manager, Becky, has cleaned this park up and runs a tight ship. Her and her husband used to camp in the area every few years. When they came in one year, the campground had been taken over by long timers and homeless. The mayor hired them to get it in order. It is a very clean and safe park now. They were awesome campground hosts and their presence was welcomed. Very hardworking folks who take pride in their park!

Called a week ahead to make sure there would be space and that there where fully accessible, working bathrooms and showers. Arrived to discover they close and lock down the bathrooms from 7pm to 7am!!!! No warnings or forewarning when we called. After hours guy was beyond rude and offered zero solutions. Wouldn’t recommend at all:(. Had to hook back up and find a different place to stay to be able to visit this small town.

Very nice campground, In a very convenient site off the interstate. The lady was very friendly when we called her getting information. We arrived at about 430 and was trying to get set up before it got dark. When we set up camp we hadn’t got the payment to the box, at 7 o’clock we hear a loud blasting knock on our front door and she was demanding the money. I don’t like when people treat me like I’m trying to cheat them. Bottom line is pay these people right away or you will get a visit when you think someone’s trying to bust down your front door.

Located outside of town, trailer park-like setting, there was a constant drone of traffic on I-40. There were a lot of RVs here, I'm not sure what the attraction is though. We were charged 25.00 a night for full hook up site ( the pdf download of rules from city of El Reno has outdated rates). Friendly lady on a golf cart came by and collected our $. Pay in cash or check. The entrance to the campground was a little hard to find, not well marked.

If you stop here, try to go to Sid's Diner in town. Great staff and fun little place with a mix of locals and vacationers. Small town America.
