  This place always amazes me. Driving through the town of Hinton, OK, you turn in at the sign, go down a steep road, and you would never know there was a town back at the top. It's a beautiful red sandstone canyon with campsites and hiking trails. There are some A-frame cabins for group camping where I stayed with a church group when I was a teenager. Other camping is for tents and rv's. The restrooms and showers are maintained and typical of the state parks. There are playgrounds, hiking trails, and great scenery. There is no lodge at the park, but I drove easily from the lodge at Roman Nose State Park to spend the afternoon, and I'm sure there is lodging in Hinton. Admission is free if you're not camping. This place is well worth a stop.

  If you plan to come out to the park make sure u find out if the trails are open we found two but they were closed one was due to flood damage but very pretty scenery without the trails

  Had some time to kill while traveling, so we stopped and checked out Red Rock Canyon. Free admission. It was late fall and most of the leaf color had gone, but it was still scenic, walked some on the trails, looked around, stretched out legs and napped in the quiet. Not really a destination, but if you;re in the area, its worth a visit. Looked like a nice place to camp.

  We stayed one night in a motorhome. A beautiful setting and not crowded. Sites were level and concreted, power and water available. Nice and quiet, apart from some dogs barking in the distance. The only downside was the rather old toilet block, which could do with some renovation. A very pleasant campground at a very reasonable price, would stay again.

  We have been going here since cows grazed in the canyon back in the early 50's. The park crews don't do a thorough job of keeping the place looking nice, and neat as it should be. The day we were there, the visitors office was closed.

  We found this park on the map while driving from South to North. So glad we decided to stop and check it out. Beautiful, quiet park. Several campers. A new covered shelter up a few steps with a canyon wall backdrop. Some very old toilets and a few better ones. The drive down into the canyon is very steep and winding, but fairly short. I was terrified to drive back up and out due to the steep last few hundred feet, but it was OK. I would NOT have wanted any one driving out in front of me though. If you are nearby the area, it is worth the stop.

  Better than expected and worth the short drive off I-40. We didn't camp and only stayed a few minutes, but it was a good little stop, free, and beautiful scenery, which was exactly what we were looking for. Red sandstone rocks, HUGE red sandstone rocks, great pictures, and relaxing stroll. Bathrooms available, camping available.

  The family and I went here with the hopes of hiking and biking our way through the park over a four day weekend. The campground itself was very nice, sites were good size, level, clean and the bathrooms were close. There were several different camping areas to choose from, which was good because we showed up on a Thursday around 1:00 PM and the place was pretty well packed. Bathrooms were clean and in good shape, same with the coin operated showers.My only knock on the park is the lack scenery/hiking diversity. There are a couple hikes, none are very long (i.e. more than a mile or so) and the great scenery was wanting IMHO. So...expectation management, if you're expecting breathtaking views and vistas and long hikes through varied terrain (like what you'd see in a Nat'l Park) you will be disappointed. If you're looking for a nice place to throw down a tent or park a trailer with lots of families and kids running around, you'll probably be quite happy.

  We decided to cut over and scope this state park out while cruising down Route 66 West...Free admission, who could argue with that?This place is really cool!It is on the small side, but lots of room to romp around!We cruised all the way to the back side of the park, just looking around, and as soon as we made a u-turn to head back up to the trails, we saw a full size bobcat run across the canyon road! Super awesome. Day made. Enough said.So, on to the trail we went. very nice, well kept, with nice stream side paths.We enjoyed the hike that went back into the canyon, past a natural pool (no you cant swim there) and up the side of the ridge, then back to the trail head.I think it would be a great place to camp, or come back and visit again sometime.

  The campground is down in a canyon with switchbacks in roadway to get in /out (Note for longer trailers etc.) Found a picturesque site 23, unfortunately ants were all over the ground, so we stayed in the back of the truck instead of setting up the tent. This could have been the time of year for ants. An armadillo came around about dusk. Campground was quiet, heard what I believe were owls in the night, which was interesting. The bathrooms needed work, upkeep, cleaning, call it what you will, it was rough. 50/50 whether I’d stay again.
