Great overnighter. Easy to find, very laid back owner. Reasonably level. Close to Steakhouse and 'Conoco Cafe' Route 66 landmark. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A good place to stay for one night. The electricity was borderline "hot". The other connections were adequate. You pay here on the honor system. If you want cable TV it is an extra dollar. We stopped by the "park" west of town. That place was real dismal and they wanted $28 for a 50 AMP site with 10% off for Good Sam. There was no one there so we hot footed it to K & K in town. We would stay here again for only one night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Right on Route 66 near the inspiration for some of the CARS movie scenes. Park is basic, but we really like the owner, and he was very helpful. Wi-fi worked great; restrooms are clean; site is gravel but level. Some playground activity, birdwatching, picnic areas. It is just off I-40 (visual distance). We camped here in a Motorhome.

Owned by a nice old man whose grandparents settled on this land which is still dirt and grass. Bath was old and well used but fine. Iffy Wi-Fi that comes and goes but the I-40 noise is there to stay. Would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an adequate park if you are just passing through. It is easy to access from I-40 and located off old Rt. 66, which runs parallel to the Interstate. Some traffic noise but not to bad. Park has pull-through gravel sites and interior dirt roads with no shade. The park facilities are old and in need of repairs and upgrading. The bathrooms and laundry look to be 50 years old and were dirty. Old paneling, cobwebs, poor lighting, no latches on the stalls, no paper towels and no hand soap. There is a swimming pool but it was not open. Little to see and do in the area though Shamrock does have some surviving Route 66 buildings as well as Vern's Steakhouse which is a good meal if you are up for a steak. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a good park, out on the prairie. There is a genial owner. Flat, long, nicely spaced, and easily accessible sites with good hook-ups that all work properly. This is a no-frills park, but entirely adequate for a stay. Quite windy, but that is pretty much what you get on the Texas plains. The rate of $26 is for 30 amps; 50 amps is an additional $2. We would certainly stay here again We camped here in a Motorhome.

I was so pleased to find this easy-access park with full hookups and Wi-Fi. Given the ruralness of the area, I wasn't sure what I'd find, but this park and it's owner were super. It isn't the classiest of parks, and it doesn't have activities, but it had what I was needing: level, easy in/out pull-through site, good utilities, Wi-Fi. And beyond that, I also got a nice friendly greeting. I was pleased with the laundry room, so I went ahead and enjoyed a little RV-keeping while I was here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice host, his campground since 1967. On Historic Route 66 near the town of Shamrock where the Conoco from the movie "Cars" is located. Short drive off the interstate to arrive. The pull throughs were updated and it is a good overnight spot. However, be prepared that the interstate noise is everpresent and the playground equipment is dated, but functional. There are several full-timers there but were no bother. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very friendly owner checked us in, we just picked the site that we wanted. Road and pad are gravel so a little dusty. Long pull through sites and big rig friendly. Very easy on and off the freeway and despite being close to the freeway the noise is not too bad. Plenty of space and grass around the RV with a picnic table. Bathrooms are old but fairly clean, however no soap or paper towels, and we felt that this campground could really do with some TLC. WiFi and cell are slow. This campground seems to have mainly permanent residents, however they do keep their sites neat. This is a good place for an overnight stop and we would stay here again. Rate reflects Good Sam discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.

For some reason, the phone number for K&K and for this resort are the same...We camped at North 40 for one night, and it was good. Site was level enough, nice and wide. No trees where we were, clear view of the Texas stars. Easy on and off the freeway if you were west bound on I-40, if you were east bound, the turn was a little sharp I was told. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a good overnight stop. Manager was very friendly. Hook-ups all worked well. Sites were reasonably level. Wi-Fi was available, but it worked only sporadically. No cable TV, and could only pick up two Oklahoma educational channels on the antenna. Weak Verizon cell phone and data coverage. Quiet even though in sight of I-40. Cash or checks only.

Level gravel pull thru with nice electrical box. No TV cable and no antenna reception. Asked @ check in if freezing temps were expected and got a smart, non-answer. Used heated hose but supply line froze. Called to report that we couldn't shut off spigot and was told to pour hot water over it. When told we had no water, the Mr. hung up on me. Called back to tell them we thought they were overpriced for no cable, no wifi and no water, received another smart comment and was hung up on again. Better, cheaper places to stay in either direction. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

No electrical outlets in restrooms nor did any of the doors lock (stall doors or the outside doors.) Cash or check only, no credit cards. Restrooms were clean but had very small showers. Driveway and roads were not paved. Some sites had picnic tables which didn't matter in January, but you might want one in the summer. This was good for an overnight stop, but not recommended for longer. We camped here in a Motorhome.

RV Park is on a very rough service road alongside Hwy 40. Bathrooms are clean, but the shower stalls were very small. I could not turn around in it. There is one row for 50 amp and another row for 30 amp and another for tents and no sewer hook-ups. We would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good overnight basic RV park with 30/50 Amp service on neat stands, new looking water attachments with good pressure and easy in/out access for large rigs in the back. Minimal trees but this is Texas, not NJ. Nice Texas cows in the background and minimal I-40 noise, especially from the back 50 Amp service row. Nice lady owner, doesn't take long term residents, no mobile homes (perms) at all. 1970s playground equipment was exciting for our 7 year old. She's not used to anything but plastic so that was a neat treat. Pool looked clean but so much dust, couldn't see through to bottom, so no go for us. It fit the bill for one night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

"Plain vanilla" campground, in the middle of nowhere on route 66, but very useful as we were exhausted after 6 hours driving on I-40. Good Wi-Fi access. As we like sleeping with open windows, we wear ear plugs to sleep because of the freeway noise. Welcoming nice old lady who will tell you not to miss the route 66 "monument" in town, impressively restored. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Interesting park out in the middle of nowhere. Thought we had taken a wrong road but finally came across it on the frontage road west of town. Had pretty good Wi-Fi and two television channels with the antenna. Thought the price was high for what you get. The freeway noise did not bother us which was surprising since we were quite close. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a quaint park reminiscent of parks from 30 years ago. It is an easy in/easy out park great for an overnight stop off I-40. The owner was welcoming and I'm sure could have told some great tales from years ago. Wi-Fi was good, sites were level. Most of all, the sunset and sunrise were awesome!

Although the park had many amenities the very "hot" electrical service was not acceptable. Our digital meter read 136 volts at our site. We tested on our only neighbor's site and got a reading of 138 volts. We went to the office to see if they were aware of the issue and were told to "talk to the electric company.". At that point we asked for our check back and moved on. As they are a Good Sam Park I have reported this issue to Good Sam. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great RV Park for a short stay. The access roads are gravel with a little dust, but well laid out allowing easy maneuverability for the big rigs (45+). The numerous pull throughs are level, long and wide enough to accommodate big rigs with tow vehicles. FHU w/50amps at all sites. The Wi-Fi signal was strong at our space which was one of the furthest out. The spaces are gravel with grass areas between that could use some mowing. Picnic tables are provided with some, but not all of the spaces. The traffic noise from I-40 is aggravating at times, but slows at night. The owners are friendly and helpful. This is a no frill, one night stand, RV Park. We will stay here again when passing through. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a ho-hum interstate overnight stop. Close to I-40 with the associated road noise. No frills. Level gravel pads, dirt roads. No patio, just grass/dirt beside your rig. Our picnic table collapsed on us. They advertise Wi-Fi, but they had no service when we stayed. WI-FI is our number one amenity as we travel a lot and want to communicate. When I complained I was told that there had been complaints for several days, but they did not know how to fix the system. Apparently they do not know how to call for service, or to inform their guests of the problem upon check-in either. We will never stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Cost reflects Good Sam Discount. The park is right on I-40 but highway noise was not a problem. Nice shade trees in the picnic and tent area but none where the motorhomes or trailers had to park. Pleasant enough place for an overnight stop. Not much around to see or do. It was clean and neat and sits out in the country: cow pasture behind the campground. We would definitely stay here again for a stopover. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an older park that is actually on old "Route 66" but also right next to I-40. Call ahead if you need a 50 amp pull-through because there are only 10 or 12 of them. These sites have side-by-side hook-ups but are so large that it was not a problem at all. All the 50 amp pull-throughs were full by 6pm, but many smaller 30 amp sites were available. Park is about 4 miles from town and there is nothing between the park and town. Park was clean and well kept, but nothing fancy. Great overnight stop and we will use it again.

I can not recommend this campground. The owner asked if we needed 30 or 50 amp. When told we only need 30 amp since we would not need to run the air conditioners, he refused and said only 50 amp for a motorhome. Also, when I asked if the wi-fi was working he said yes. When I told him I just checked before coming into the office and found that there was no wi-fi available - he claimed it was working - he didn't care about what I said. Also, it was raining and the park was a mud hole - I was afraid if we stayed there, in the spot he would put us in, we would need our motorhome towed out the next morning. The park needs a major rework and it is sad that this is a Good Sam park - also he would not give us a Good Sam rate. Most RV parks in this area are in sad shape. We ended up staying in the rest area just inside Oklahoma on I-40. It was okay and others were overnighting there also. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I did not stay at this campground, but I did stay at K and K campground in Shamrock, TX. It is at the corner of route 66 and hwy 83. I don't think this park is listed anywhere so this post might be useful to someone. It is a very small park but has room for a big RV. It is run by honor system only. There are no bathrooms, showers or office. Tthere is 30/50 amp sites with water. It is not somewhere you would want to stay more than a night or two. There was a good wi fi signal.

A perfectly adequate older campground run as a mom & pop facility. Open spaces, grass sites with a nice area for dogs to run. If coming from the west, get off at exit 157 and drive the frontage road. It'll take you right beside the CG entrance. Nice camp store and highway noise was minimal. Sites are in the open for satellite reception. We'd stop here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is not a destination campground, but is a great stopover spot. We had a minor electrical problem (operator error). When we asked for some guidance from the owner he gladly provided some guidance and then immediately drove to our site to make sure things were OK. The sites are graveled and grass. The sites are for the most part level. The only negative we had was that it rained the night we stayed and the next morning there was a mud puddle at our front step This is an older campground but is very well maintained. The owner worked day and night doing routine maintenance. I would gladly stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground was a delightful "interstate campground" surprise. Clean grounds, beautiful shade trees, swimming pool, playground for the kids.The pull-thru sites were huge - we had a crew cab truck,pulling a 39 ft. RV, pulling a 12 ft. trailer, and still had room to spare. Plenty of room between campsites as well - didn't feel "closed in".Picnic tables at every site. The restrooms and laundry room were clean. Well stocked little store for needed items. The hosts were gracious and helpful. Will without a doubt be our midway stop on our annual Colorado Trip from Arkansas from now on!

We stayed here overnight and the owner was very friendly and since we were one of two campers due to the time of year we had our choice of sites. The weather was very cold with snow and major wind so we didn't look around too much but the sites seemed plenty wide and they are major long. I got my truck and 39' 5th wheel and could have gotten another one almost as large in behind. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We spent one night here. They did not take credit cards. The sites felt like plenty of room on each, but since there was only 1 other RV in the whole place it was hard to tell.

We found this park by accident and were glad we did. It is a nice little park with long pads, clean with lots of grass. No cable and the hook-ups are side by side but fairly modern. The person who helped us check-in was very nice. To get to the park you have to go off I-40 a couple of miles from the park and travel on the frontage road. They are suppose to have WiFi but it wasn't working at our site. The town of Shamrock is pretty neat, the garage/cafe in "Cars" is on a corner in the town. We would stop here again.
