Preston Bend Recreation Area

Terrible, Grass not mowed, Ants everywhere, bugs really bad after sundown. They obviously do not take care of this campground. First, water hookup leaked bad all 5 days. No one to fix it. Second, ants were terrible. All around the trees and even in the concrete parking stops. Third, our spot was much smaller than pictures shown. Didn't have room to put awning out. No one policing area for loose do... Terrible, Grass not mowed, Ants everywhere, bugs really bad after sundown. They obviously do not take care of this campground. First, water hookup leaked bad all 5 days. No one to fix it. Second, ants were terrible. All around the trees and even in the concrete parking stops. Third, our spot was much smaller than pictures shown. Didn't have room to put awning out. No one policing area for loose dogs. Flies were another terrible thing. Could not sit outside without hundreds of flies around. I have never been to a campground that has had this issue and I have stayed at several around Texas and Oklahoma. The only thing I can say was good is. Easy to get to and a nice view but could enjoy it.

Great campsites! Many are a short walk from a nice sandy swim spot. Lots of great shallow areas along the shore, fun for kids. Watch out for slick spots of clay, though. Tell your kids the clay is nature's play-doh, and they will keep busy for hours! Most of the sandy areas are really nice, fine sand. If you get a windy day, the lake will even give you waves. NOTE: Some spots say online that they... Great campsites! Many are a short walk from a nice sandy swim spot. Lots of great shallow areas along the shore, fun for kids.

OR, may have loose gravel or untrimmed trees that make it impossible. Call and chat with the park ranger if you have a plus size rig, just to make sure your chosen spot will be appropriate for your camper! ALSO: Like most parks in Oklahoma, there is a TON of poison ivy. My kids are well aware to stay away, but if you or your kids can't easily recognize it, check w the park staff. Stay on pathways.
