“once a stop along the historic California Trail”
Red Rock Canyon is a beautiful example of nature's artwork in Oklahoma. Wind, water and natural forces have shaped 260 million-year-old deposits from the Permian geological period Into the natural sculpture you see today. Before the mid-1800s, Plains Indians used the canyon as a winter camp. Game was abundant, the water was pure and clean and it was an escape from the cold prairie winds, just as it is today. The canyon became a landmark on the California Road. During the 1849 California Gold Rush, the westward leading road was a haven for weary travelers. It provided fresh water, grazing for livestock and a place to rest and repair their wagons. In 1956, the City of Hinton, Hinton Kiwanis Club, and one other individual donated the land, known as Kiwanis Canyon Park to the state. The park was renamed Red Rock Canyon State Park. The 310 acres of steep, rugged cliffs and canyons make the park a favorite spot for camping and hiking. As of November 1st, 2018 the Red Rock Canyon State Park was no longer operated by the State of Oklahoma. However, the park is now privately operated with a desire to see this beautiful park continue to thrive and reach more visitors to showcase the beauty of Red Rock Canyon. The canyon floor is home to a rich ecosystem that includes many varieties of trees, birds and animal life. Nature puts on a spectacular fall foliage show from mid-October to mid-November but every season is special at Red Rock Canyon Adventure Park.

The only entry/exit is steep and winding, but once in the canyon you will find a very well kept, beautiful campground. We had a great time and will definitely stay again.

This lovely state park is almost right in town, but it looks like another world. Stopped here for the night, but would certainly stay longer if time permitted. The rate reflects a $2.00 discount, but I'm not sure what it was for. We do have disabled plates, so maybe that was it. Or my gray hair. Our site was a 50AMP pull through near the end of the park. Everything we saw was clean and well maintained. We had time to enjoy one of the nature trails; it was very nice, but if you have a canine hiking buddy, this would be a good time to put on the protective hiking booties if you have them. I pulled a bunch of evil stickery things out of one paw.

This is a fantastic getaway in Oklahoma. Down in a canyon with 80ft red cliff walls on Both sides. A small creek running down one side. Great trails, a decent bathroom. Just not what you expect from scenery in Oklahoma! We stayed on site 63. Last one in the loop, no one on either side, but a creek next to us and the trail head on the other side. Some traffic and cars parking because of it, but no one bothered us. I will definatly come back here.

Went the weekend after Labor Day weekend...free swimming, sno cones, barbecue sandwiches, games and free outdoor movies in the evening. The camp site is beautiful and very well taken care of. The owners are the friendliest. My family has loved it and can’t wait to come back. Truly a hidden gem!

It is a steep little road going down into canyon but it is very beautiful once in there. We had plenty of shade . Husband put up hammock. Drones flew frequently. Electric and water at camp site did have one dump station in the park and had one when leaving at the top of the ridge. Good cell service. There are several hiking trails we did not get a chance to explore. Will have to visit again.

I’ve been going here since I was a child, we had Methodist youth camp there or nearby, been too long ago for me to remeber where the camp is exactly, I didn’t see it, it has a pool and cabins as well, I think maybe method camp is next valley over to the East. I saw Methodist road, that’s gotta be it. But as far as red rock. Yes I’ll go again soon. So nice. I guess $30.00 a night is becoming the going rate most places. Even if no sewer hookup. Dang inflation everything’s goes up except my wages. Lol. Not funny really. I’ll certainly hike some of the trails there next time. Just no time this trip. Definitely check this place out. 😁

Had reservations for two nights. Due to unprecedented bad weather we wanted to see if it was possible to move to another later date. Left phone messages, emails, website messages for two days. Never got a call back. Reservation came and went without being able to use it. I would have completely accepted if we were told that the cancellation policy was that no refund was available and we could not reschedule, but to simply be ignored and have no response was frustrating and meant we had to wait multiple extra days before we could try to look for other options. Unless you are 100% certain you will use a reservation at this site, I would advise to go elsewhere as they will never call you back if you want to make any changes.

We got in late and left early but I wish we had time to explore more. The red rock canyon was beautiful.
RV sites are level and decently sized. It’s a steep winding road in but we navigated it easily with a 31-foot motorhome.
The bathrooms are clean but very, very basic. They have pay showers.

Ok, I found this state park in my 2019 atlas, Google maps took us from I40, exit 101, on rte 66 and all through the back country on very rural rough roads, like the ones going to your grandma's farm. Beautiful country but not one sign, anywhere, about this campground. We just kept following Google map and came to Hinton then just a short trek to the entrance for Adventure Park. No one in the office and a sign asking for 10 to enter. Didn't know it had turned private, didn't know if it had rv lots or electricity? Nothing, no info. So we went on in down the winding steep hill, 5pm. If this was horrible we had time to try to find I40 again and a walmart. We pulled in at the very front with two other rvs, so yes, water and electric, very nice green lawns and fire pits and tables. I just asked 2 ladies where the road went and they told me there are many many more sites down the road. This is really hidden, private, unadvertised , quiet, beautiful red rock canyon walls. It is too cold and a hard wind is keeping us from exploring but surprise , don't give up! Find it and enjoy it!
