Red Rock Canyon Campground and Adventure Park
Quick Facts
Why Hinton & Red Rock Canyon
Red Rock Canyon sits along Interstate 40 in Caddo County, a dramatic 310-acre canyon that offered fresh water and wagon repairs to settlers along the historic California Road — wagon wheel ruts are still visible today. The canyon walls are made of vivid red sandstone, hosting the only remaining stand of native Caddo maple trees, with 12 miles of hiking trails and rock climbing on the bold canyon walls.
This is a genuine hidden gem barely an hour from Oklahoma City, with real red rock canyon views and well-maintained hiking trails — a comfortable night’s sleep after a day on the California and Scissortail trails is exactly the point here.
