The weather is perfect right now for camping in Oklahoma. Crisp, cool mornings and perfect temp days set the stage for the ideal setting to pitch a tent in the Sooner State. Now, you could camp in an area that’s close to the city but if you’re really looking to get away from it all, head to Black Mesa State Park, home to the most remote campground in all of the state.

Black Mesa State Park is located in the town of Kenton, along the tri-state border with Colorado and New Mexico. There's nothing around for miles and miles, which makes it the perfect place to get away from it all.
