This is a very poor campground. Very narrow roads, sites aren't level at all. This campground is more for tent, scamp campers, small travel trailers, etc. The pull thru sites in Canyon Vista and Two Lakes are a joke. The general store was closed and lake was bone dry. Would not recommend this state park.

If you’re a big fan of golfing in the wilderness this is the place for you. If you were expecting a serene forest (by Ok standards) you might get that, the creek that comes out of a concrete hole in the rock; down a concrete path, because the natural route was removed, isn’t as “wilderness” as one would expect. It’s a good area to cruise through, but the golf course at the entrance and golf cart tracks everywhere really ruined the experience for us.

Beaver Dam Campground is nice with clean bathrooms and showers. There are picnic tables, fire rings, and grills. Both lakes at the park are still empty as the construction work continues on the dam. It would be nice if the park's website would provide information on trail closures and the dry lakes, due to construction. They do not provide a timeline for the lakes being reopened. Instead, it just mentions that the lakes are stocked with trout. The paddle boats on the lakeshore by the store are just sitting on dry ground. We even saw someone with a kayak on their vehicle expecting to get on the water, but obviously that wasn't happening. The General Store is open for small gifts, snacks, and toiletry items. The only hiking trail that is open is the ADA trail that leads to the lodge, then continues to Inspiration Point. The trail to the point, from the lodge, has steep ups and downs, we only made it about halfway, then turned back because the trail was too steep. We had perfect camping weather, and did get in 5 miles of hiking. Just wish we had been provided more information on the trail closures and dry lakes before we made reservations.

We made reservations for 3 nights. We get here and can’t find an office to check in at. Find our way to our campsite and start exploring. There is no lake to speak of, water is so low you see the ground and weeds. The beautiful waterfall in the picture, the road going to it has been closed. The pool, #1 you have to pay to use, #2 it is only open on the weekends, we are here mid week. Found the lodge and asked when you check in for camping, she said, oh you’re good. The restaurant wasn’t open either. The shower you have to purchase tokens for, and each token last 3 minutes. To say the least, we are extremely disappointed. The pictures show a beautiful lake, waterfall, pool and restaurant that we will not be able to Partake in. Oh yeah the general store was closed the day we arrived.

I hadn't been there in years. My mom's family used to have family reunions there, and I hadn't been in the lodge since then (1977). Same lodge, but updated. Nice, with a local flair about the Cheyenne/Arapaho tribes. The dining room has changed a lot, but was nice. The lakes are dry, just a small channel going through them. Dam broke on the small one and then the large one failed. Don't count on fishing. The golf course looked to be in excellent shape. It's unique in that you're playing over and beside canyons. If your ball goes way back in the rough, leave it. Let the snakes have it, and drop another. It has one of the nearest polls in the state, feed by natural springs.

So as a former State Employee I was absolutely ashamed of the stay here at Roman Nose. I brought my kids and grandchildren here for a 3 day stay in the cabins and some great hiking and fishing. Thats about where the good stopped. Check in was great until I asked about the fishing, I was told that the dam developed holes and as such the lakes were gone. Not once was this mentioned when I called for reservations and the website is still promoting the fishing. If I would have known i would not have spent the money on 3 cabins for 2 nights. Someone should have said something about this upon making the reservation. Felt absolutely mis-led and deceived. On top of all that the restaurant was shut down, day of. Wow, no discount was ever offered, they were even going to charge $6 for 5 sticks of firewood. Absolutely horrible State of Oklahoma.

Clean & well kept duplex style cabins. Generous concrete driveways. Cabins within moderate walking distance to lodge and kayaking. The little store had good country style meals and good service. Bring your own pillows and extra bedding. Beds are not very comfortable, but they were way more comfortable than tent camping. (Though tent sites available!) Concrete picnic tables, fire pits and grills are in the backyard of the cabins. Great for an inexpensive family weekend trip, an hour away from OKC/Edmond.

The park worker that we encountered was so kind and helpful! I unfortunately do not know her name. The pond did have some scum floating all over it. It was not an enjoyable place to fish. The lake was dry whenever we went. We were told after we arrived that the lake should be filled again in July. There are geese that are nearby, so watch out for poop. The sites at Two Lakes are nice. The general store is cute. There are some pretty views on Switchback and Inspiration Point.
