There are repairmen on call to handle serious problems such as electricity when it's 110 in the shade . 300 yd. from the gate is a great little restaurant to boot . You may never have a problem off the Dam but just remember that extra 10 dollars off the site cost is another case of cheap beer .
That restaurant, how long has it been there? I remember me and my brothers riding our bikes from Persimmon Hill to a place where we would get Ice Cream, not sure if it was a full blown restaurant or just an ice cream place, I don't think we ever went inside, if I remember correctly there was a walk up window where we would order and pickup the ice cream. This would have been in the early to mid 80's.

I have a ton of great memories at Enid, does anyone remember the old red dog that used to roam the campgrounds? My grandmother would feed it and have it hanging out at their RV all summer, we loved that dog like it was our own.
