Beautiful campground. It got a 3 because we brought our motor home in towing a vehicle with a total of 3 people and they charged us a state park fee for both the motor home and truck. Did not find that fair as we had paid for 3 nights at the campground and it’s not like we would be driving the RV in and out of the campground.

As far as who was with our party it was myself, spouse and elderly mother.…

My family went with other families to enjoy a long weekend and had a great time! Lots to do for the kids and the 4-room cabins were beyond my expectations.

Cabins were super nice and very affordable but be sure to bring any food you need because the town of Ponca doesn’t have much as far as restaurants or stores go. Overall, a wonderful time at a lovely place!…

There is a unique target range and many are for kids/families. Even slingshot, archery, musket, and they had some fun targets like a mammoth etc.…
