RV Park Review – Mustang Run RV Park – Oklahoma City, OK
Main Building and Office Mustang Run
This park is just off of I-40 and on the west side of Okla City, Ok. So about anything you need is very close. Check-in is quick and easy, the folks at the front desk and helpful and happy. You are paying for convenience and location here. They are a GoodSams location.

A) Site Quality: ⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️/5
All the sites are paved wide concrete streets and level pads with ample seating at the sites. You will find picnic tables and plenty of grass between the sites. All of the sites have 30/50 amp, water, sewer, and cable. The water pressure is very high so be sure to use your pressure gauge. I particularly like the 3 tornado shelters, however, as a side note, they do not let pets into these shelters.
33 of the 51 sites are pull-through with the remainder being back in. The back-in sites were taken up by the long-term patrons. The bulk of the pull-through max sites measure approximately 90′. There is plenty of room for your tow vehicle or toad to park in front of or behind your rig. There are very few trees on the property so your shade will be provided by your awning.
Pull-through sites 42-61 orientation will have your nose pointing south-east, and the door of your rig pointing slightly southwest. Sites 1-7 will have your nose pointing southwest and your door to the northwest. Sites 8-13 will have your nose point southeast and your door northeast.
Insights
- We have stayed at this location on two occasions, site #47 and #48. The park is located south of I-40 on a service road and is very easy off the highway and on to the park. The park exit is another story, you will be making a left across 4 lanes of traffic to access I-40 in either direction. You can exit right, go to the light turn left, and run through the grocery store parking lot to get headed north
- As I mentioned you are very close to I-40 so expect road noise most of the day and night. It might be a little less if you get to the south end of the park, sites 51-54 or 42-44.
- The roads are freeway wide so you will have no issues with getting in or out of your site. The sewer connections are at ground level with a concrete pad around them so your business will run downhill 🙂
B) Facilities: ⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️/5
You have laundry, a restroom, and a large shower located conveniently in the main building. They are very spacious and well cared for. The machines are in good working order, one dryer out of four was down. Additionally, you will find a great sitting area, pool table, and games in that same building.
C) Amenities: ⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️/5
Storm shelters, a large family pool, playground, covered porch with gas grill and tables along with and good wi-fi and cable. We were able to stream using the free wifi with our router. Our Verizon cell service was very good in the area, no need for a booster. A word about the storm shelters, these are godsent in this part of the country. You will run into dicey weather in Oklahoma and you will be grateful. The downside is that you will not be able to bring your animal with you. So with that said the facility suggests you go to the interior of the main building with your pet. This would be our lot in life as we will not let our dog stay in the RV while we are taking shelter.
D) Location: ⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️/5
The park is located directly off I-40 and 20 mins from downtown Oklahoma City. Groceries and fast food are a short hop away. I dinged the location one due to the road noise from I-40.
E) Paw – Friendliness – 🐾🐾🐾🐾/5
Zoey gave this park, a big paws up approval. They have a convenient dog run near the north end of the park. It has plenty of grass and bags for your pet’s business. Zoey and I like to take a good walk in the morning or prior to leaving on our next segment. This was a good park to walk around. You would need to circle it about 4 times to get a good mile in. Lots of grass could use a few more garbage cans for the occasional business stop.
Wanderers Overall Rating: ⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️.5/5
Wanderers Take:
This is a very well-run and new RV park. The concrete throughout the park is in fantastic condition. Streets, pads, sidewalks the works not a crack to be found. I like the fact that there is a green space between the pads and near the main building. You can walk to the grocery store or fast food locations if you want to get a little exercise. Otherwise most every convenience is a quick drive away.
The one factor I would take into consideration when booking this location is the weather. Now I know it is hard to forecast out but you will run into it as we did some very fierce weather. This happened both times we stayed, forcing us to leave a day early. We dashed further east to avoid severe weather during the month of April. Would we stay at this location again? Yes, absolutely with would stay. It is conveniently located on the highway, the city and all the local attractions we wanted to visit.
As for those attractions and things to do while visiting we can highly recommend a couple.

Previous Tips & Upgrades
Truma AquaGO Comfort Water Heater
We decided to invest in our 310GK-R and upgrade the Hot Water Heater. We were tired of the rotten egg smell regardless of the aluminum or magnesium anode rods or what I did to clean the tank out. Our Suburban Water heater was working fine, but it was time for a change. Long hot showers on city water and conservation while boondocking was the priority to make this move.
Solitude 310GKR Tour
Embark on an extraordinary tour of our Solitude 310GK-R. Join us for an exclusive glimpse into our YouTube video, showcasing the remarkable upgrades and lifestyle offered by our Solitude 310. The path to finding our dream RV begins right here, with Deloris our Solitude 310GK-R. Over the past three years, we have worked diligently on upgrades that would enhance the RVing experience.
Keeping A RV Cool In Extreme Heat
The easy fix would be to find that perfect site. The one that has plenty of shade with your nose facing west and your butt facing east. However, that is a fantasy in today’s world when it comes to finding a site. You do not always have the intel to understand what your getting into or the resort randomly places you on the property. Awnings are great and provide some needed shade. If you plan to step away from the rig for any length of time you will not want to leave them extended.
Power Make Over
The first order of business once we had decided on the Solutiude 310GK-R was the batteries. After researching battery types, solar compatibility, and recommendation from other RVers we landed on Battle Born Ion Lithium. Battle Born batteries can provide you with two to three times more power than a lead-acid battery which allows you to stay off the grid longer without having to hassle with a noisy generator. Battle Born Batteries are also capable of being charged up to five times faster than a standard lead-acid battery. Now we can put our battery anxieties to rest and finally focus on our next RV adventure.
SoftStart Install
I’ve joined the club, SoftStart club that is. We will be headed to Canada this summer and I knew we will be facing a number of 30amp sites on our journey. We wanted to be sure we had both our AC units available during our stay. After watching a number of YouTube videos describing the installation and how they worked, I was sold.
Drawer Dividers
The age-old problem in most kitchens that calls for dividers in the drawers to keep your stuff organized. No one likes to reach into a drawer only to find that you have to dig to the bottom to find what you need. On an RV this can be particularly frustrating as the “Stuff” gets put into the rough road blender and scattered in the drawers.
Traveling With Dogs
Traveling with your pets and in our case Zoey a 75 lb. Yellow Labrador was one of the primary reasons we wanted an RV. Boarding Zoey every time we wanted to take a vacation or just day trip or two was just not working. Once we committed to the RV lifestyle we learned rather quickly that this would call for some advance planning. Our new challenge would be preparing for a month or longer trips. We have put together a shortlist of some tips and suggestions we have for traveling with your dog, big or small. This certainly is not a definitive list and we would love to hear from you regarding your preparation. So let’s get started with some of the basics
AC Silencer
The WackO Products DA100 is an air conditioner silencer kit that allows you to run your A/C unit without all the noise. Never try listening to your TV over your air conditioner or being kept awake by the unbearable noise ever again.
