Typical state park with lots of hiking and quiet. This is a great little area to get away and enjoy the weekend. 3 separate areas to camp, even has a point that can be rented for large groups. Seasonal bait shop has small snacks, nearest town is around 8 miles. Sites are spread out so you don't have that on top of each other feeling. Some paved sites with sewer, most are gravel with electric and water only. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent park, stayed in early November and all was PERFECT! Very few people, no noise, clean, lots of hiking in park, also near Wichita Mtn Nat'l Wildlife Preserve. Have your own groceries before arriving otherwise a bit of a drive to a decent food store. Fuel and propane in town (about 8 miles away at most). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have been camping with our trailer for 17 years and have stayed in all kinds of RV resorts. Great Plains compared favorably with many of the private resorts we've stayed at. Full hookups with 30 amp and 20 amp outlets, water, and sewer are available, but only in one area. As you enter the park, turn left into the first camping area where the camp host resident's trailer is. These are the only full hookup sites in the park. The park was extremely well maintained, the bathrooms and showers clean, and the scenery was very nice. A paved walking trail features informative displays of information about the park and the flora and fauna. We will definitely return to Great Plains State Park! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Nice place. Bugs were a killer. The sites have no sewer but a dump site is close by. Not many people around and the view of the water is great. Good value. Nice auto tour of wildlife area very close. Lots of deer, cranes, etc. Would definitely recommend. Hope they upgrade to sewer someday We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice quite place on Lake Tom Sneed. A little hard to find on account of the sign on the highway that directs you to the park. Very difficult to see. The park is quiet and the hostess was a very nice person wanting to please the campers. Good fishing in the lake. A dump is available. We camped here in a Motorhome.
