Edgewood RV Community — Midwest City, OK

This lovely long term RV park is off the radar, which is why I didn't know about it the first two years I summered in OKC while visiting my son. In my third year here, I decided to go outside the box with my search because I wasn't happy with the other parks I'd found...
