About
Black Mesa State Park is an Oklahoma State Park with 52 campsites available for camping.
Fees
Oklahoma State Parks camping fees are set per site through the ReserveAmerica booking system rather than one published statewide schedule, but a consistent $16.00/night base camping rate was confirmed at multiple parks (Black Mesa, Boiling Springs, McGee Creek), with additional site-type "attribute" fees added for hookup type/site tier (e.g. Black Mesa's RV Semi Modern sites add a $9/night attribute fee, $25/night total) and cabins priced separately (e.g. Boiling Springs cabins: $110.00/night). Unlike some other states, Oklahoma State Parks do not charge a separate day-use vehicle/entrance fee - park admission itself is free.
