Lake Thunderbird State Park

I'd recommend coming on a dryer day. Red clay mud stains horribly. It is definitely beautiful with a lot of trails

We camped at Post Oak - the smaller Post Oak area. It isn't by water but that's okay. It was clean and the camp host was very friendly and helpful. I do agree with some of the other reviews - it is run down. Since it was super clean, shady and not crowded it being rundown didn't bother or affect us in any way. We drove around looking at other areas and may stay in the Little Axe area next time. We would camp at the smaller Post Oak area again but not the larger Post Oak area. When we drove through it there were A LOT of campers. It was actually hard to drive through the area it was so crowded.

We came for the first day hike. Well organized. Fun freebies. The employees here are so nice and helpful. The hike was very easy and not challenging at all.

The campground host is wonderful and made our stay enjoy. We haven't been there in a long time but it's still nice and we enjoyed the camping.

Great park for camping , concrete sites for flat setups . Boat ramp near by, close to Norman Oklahoma

Beautiful park! Great representation of Oklahoma nature! Many trails and clean camp sites!

Clean, well lit, nice little family swimming spot. Has plenty of life jackets for all sizes. Clean facilities. They are a little strict about using the shelters.

So, here's the thing. Lake thunderbird is lovely. Picturesque, even. Quaint. With one exception. The gold loop trail. I should become an honorary park ranger for completing that thing. Look. Go look at that map. Like someone put a gps tracker on a hummingbird. I stumbled around out there for FOUR HOURS. Whatever you do, do not follow the bypass signs. I fell down hills, threw up, cried, and then fell down more hills. I came across some thing called gertie's fun run, and if that's not an invite for an insane serial clown killer chase, I don't know what is. If you are able to follow directions, this is doable. For us directionally challenged....don't do it. I finally stumbled out of the woods into traffic like some sort of swamp creature, and found my car. Beautiful day, though.

We love to camp here. Nice sized spots great lakefront views. Great swimming area! Quiet at night.

We stayed at the Little Axe campground right next to the beach. Although it was extremely windy while we were there 9/16-9/17, we really liked the campground. The beach and water was clean and the grounds were maintained. The only knock on the park is that the gate closed at 11pm. The walk to our campsite would have been about a half-mile. So, no thanks, lol. It's the only campground at this park that has a gate. Overall, nice park!
