Longdale Campground is located at Canton Lake in northwest Oklahoma on the North Canadian River, 2-1/2 miles from the town of Canton. Canton Lake plays host to a large number of campers, picnickers, boaters, fishermen and hunters every year. It is one of the few places that offer these types of recreational opportunities in western Oklahoma. Canton Lake is known for its fishing opportunities, especially walleye fishing.
