We have camped here for Memorial Day weekend for 2021, 2022 and 2024. The restrooms by the boat ramp don't flush very well. They were old in in 2022. I was hoping they would be replaced by this time like all the other state parks. The restrooms in the otter creek campground are hot/stuffy and need ventilation. The showers require quarters to operate and are also very hot/stuffy and need ventilation. In 2022 our campsite had a water spigot. The water spigot is now gone. The receipt says it was a "premium" campsite for $22. It has no water spigot nor electric. Not sure what is so "premium" about it? We feel like a paid campsite should come with tokens for the shower. We are hikers not boaters so hopefully we can get a spot at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge next time. On the plus side, we saw a road runner multiple times and learned his call. Lots of other birds too like scissor tail fly catcher. Only a 30 minute drive to the Wildlife Refuge where we wanted to hike. There's always a breeze to keep you cool.

This state park is very well kept. As a single mom of three I felt safe here. The restrooms were also well kept and the staff at the office were very friendly. My campsite had a grill, bonfire pit and a covered picnic table. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous and pictures don't do justice. If you're thinking about camping, this is a wonderful place!

We had the entire place to ourselves mid week in Late January! A one night stop over. Great paved 1.5 mile walking path. Three rv areas; otter creek camp area farther away from the boaters. They have miles of hiking/mountain bike ( technical) trails! Bath/shower houses are ok. The showers are ok . Quarters . Kinda weak spray from the fixed shower head. But it is warm enough even in january!

Beautiful park & super kind staff. Lots to do. Plenty of trails, fishing, swimming, disc golf, beautiful sunrise & sunset watching, plenty of wildlife, lots to explore, etc. We camped in the Otter Creek campground & I cannot recommend it enough! We loved this park & definitely recommend. Dog friendly, keep them on a leash. Clean facilities. The showers are not free, if you did not come prepared with quarters there is a change machine directly outside of the showers.
