We are looking for suggestions of places to road trip to in Oklahoma. We were hoping to take our 2 year old son tent camping for the first time and wanted a place that would be entertaining for all of us. Any suggestions?
Since heading up north, we thought it might be a good time to also spend a day or two in OK City. Anything fun to do with a 2 year old there?
TIA!
We rented a cabin for a couple's weekend in Broken Bow, OK and it was great! Oklahoma is a great place for camping. A lot of my old coworkers used to go to Turner Falls for family trips and they loved it. I looked at some sites that they suggested and I saw one that even rented teepees. Maybe you can read a few books with your little ones about Native Americans and teepees and follow your studies up with a trip to one? Good luck!
We have tent and camper camped in the Chickasaw National Park area at the Buckhorn Campground. It's on the lake, has nice bathrooms/showers, and is near Sulphur/Turner Falls. We've had a great time with our kids from age 3 and up! I'm sure a 2 year old would have fun, too.

LOTS to do...there are the Arbuckle Mountains which are beautiful and have lots of parks, etc. One a wild wilderness park where you drive through and see lots of neat animals...

Two words: Turner Falls! That place is awesome! It's in Davis, OK and it's not too far away.
Hi N.,
You could also camp east of Norman at the Lake Thunderbird.
and then you could venture over to Seminole to the Children's Museum. Just look up both on the web. The Children's Museum is amazing, we try and go at leat 2 x per year.
Good Luck,
K.
