Little Sahara State Park

How often can you camp amidst desert-like dunes in the heart of Oklahoma? Little Sahara State Park in Waynoka breaks camping stereotypes with its 1,600 acres of towering sand dunes, ranging from 25 to 75 feet high, creating an exhilarating playground for off-road vehicle enthusiasts.

The park offers three primary campgrounds—Buttercup, Cowboy, and Golden Sands—each equipped with RV sites featuring water and electric hookups, modern restrooms with showers, picnic tables, grills, and numerous tent-only sites. While the campgrounds provide convenience, their open layouts mean shade is limited, so prepare accordingly. The campgrounds lend themselves perfectly to weekend adventures or extended vacations focused on dune buggy or ATV riding, a major draw for visitors.

Situated just four miles south of Waynoka, Little Sahara provides easy access to groceries and fuel while maintaining a remote, peaceful atmosphere. Its proximity to the dunes makes it a top choice for those craving an adrenaline-fueled escape or those seeking a unique stargazing experience under the vast Oklahoma skies.
