Liberty Lake

The approach to Liberty Lake requires navigating packed rock and dirt roads that grow increasingly remote as campers leave Guthrie behind. This municipal campground sits on a small lake accessed through one-way lanes, with equestrian crossings and archery access points marking the route. Seven campsites provide direct lake views without hookups, each featuring large parking areas, grills, fire rings, and picnic tables with ample space for tents or RVs.

Water access defines the camping experience here. A boat ramp and fishing pier anchor the day-use area, while each campsite offers close proximity to the water for fishing or launching watercraft. Crystal C. noted that "each site had a clear view of the lake and water access only a short distance from your parking area." Anglers target catfish, largemouth bass, and crappie from shore or boat. The lake also features a small designated swimming area with red dirt sand, though the beach remains compact.

Restroom facilities consist of portable units, which can sustain wind damage during storms common to the area. The paystation operates inconsistently, with some campers unable to locate staff during visits. Sites cluster relatively close together despite generous individual space. Campers seeking places to camp near Guthrie will find this location notably quieter and more private than other municipal options, though advance reservations help secure weekend spots given the limited seven-site capacity.

Many visitors appreciated the quiet lakeside setting with spacious sites offering direct water access. Facilities are basic but functional, though restrooms are portable units only.

It’s okay..

Away from the hustle and bustle of town it’s quiet and remote. That’s about it though.. there’s a couple of sites for camping all entirely too close to each other. The parking lot is bigger than the grass areas you have to work with. It’s a great spot to fish though catfish largemouth and crappie being the usuals. Great place to bring a boat you’ll need it to see most of the lake. There are much better places within 30 minutes of here.

Quiet and peaceful, low key sites

We just stayed for one night, it was super quiet and calm. The campsites were minimal but had lots of space and were right on the lake. We had a beautiful sunset too

We couldn’t find a place to pay… but we will check in the morning

Small campground with secluded sites

Visiting this campground so was expecting similarities between it and the Guthrie Lake campground as they are both maintained by the City of Guthrie. But I was pleasantly surprised as the road turned to packed rock and dirt and started to get more and more remote in appearance. I noticed equestrian crossings and trails and also signs marking arc access points before entering.

When arriving to the lake itself traffic splits off into one way lanes. You pass a house like structure which serves as a paystation for entry, though when I visited no one was there to accept my money and I didn’t see a self pay area.

The boat ramp and fishing pier is the first thing you see when entering the park with large parking and easy water access. There are a few picnic tables at this point to enjoy the day use space. Just beyond that a swimming “beach”. This was a little perplexing to me because there was less than a foot of red dirt sand then water which was marked as appropriate. The beach itself was tiny but it was nice to see they had created a space unique to swimming in the area for safety. No also noticed an abundance of naked signs about life jacket safety which I thought was great!

As you continue to drive away the more commercial day use area there are 7 campsites each with large parking areas, grills, fire rings, picnic tables and plenty of room to spread out in a tent or RV. These sites do not have hook ups but what they lack there they make up for in lake views. Each site had a clear view of he lake and water access only a short distance from your parking area.

Restrooms are only port a potty units and with recent winds some of these had been knocked over or damaged by tree limbs, so that is something to consider.

I really liked that this location by far seemed more established than the other city maintained option and also had more privacy overall.

Tips:

Call ahead if you want to stay here on a weekend since there are limited sites and reserve in advance
Check weather before traveling, it is very common for bad weather to roll through this area and with all of the trees you want to make sure you are safe.
