Pawnee Lake Campground ~Pawnee, OK

We tried out the Pawnee Lake Campground for one night on our way to western Oklahoma.
They had porta-potties at the sites and the sites were really close together. Our spot would usually share the same electric pole with the site next to it. So they are very small. We did find a bigger one but the electric did not work for that one. So you might want to check your electric before setting up.
That being said, it was only $15 for electric and the kids really enjoyed playing on the shore of the lake.
Also there were a lot of eagles and other birds to watch and it was close to the Pawnee Bill Ranch!
 
Lots of cute babies at the ranch right now! We only drove through the ranch, did not go into the museum at all but the kids seemed to really enjoy it.
We also checked out the Historic Bathhouse onĀ  Pawnee Lake. They have swimming there in the summer. The kids really liked this old style merry go round.
Not everything is fun and games on our trips. The vehicle needed fixed or we would not be able to continue to Alabaster Caverns the next day!
Nick took our oldest’s to get the part while I stayed with the rest of the kids at our site.
It ended up being a really relaxing evening though and I really enjoyed it. Thankfully he was able to get everything fixed that evening so we did not have to head home also!
If you are wondering why we have 4 girls instead of 3, we brought a friend with us on the trip!

I would not want to stay here when it is crowded at all since the sites are so close and it was a little hard to figure out how to pay.

It ended up being a pay box near the entrance but we got the last envelope!

So you might want to figure that out beforehand.
