About
State Park
Lake Eufaula State Park is a great choice for an Oklahoma getaway. Whether the stay is short or long-term, a visit to this area will be memorable. Formerly known as Fountainhead State Park, the park is located just south of I-40 near Checotah. Situated on Lake Eufaula, a 102,000 acre reservoir, visitors can enjoy many activities on land and water.
Observe Oklahoma's diverse foliage and wildlife on hiking trails like Bluebird Trail. Visitors can bike around the expansive park's mountain bike trails. Learn about native animals and plant species at the Deep Fork Nature Center, where kids and adults can participate in naturalist programs and activities. The park also offers many playgrounds and a fishing pond.
Enjoy an 18-hole disc golf course at Hummingbird Beach. Disc's are available in the park gift shop. Nearby, the 18-hole Fountainhead Creek Golf Course features views of the lake, complete with a putting green and pro shop. Sweethearts can pledge their love by carving initials on a padlock and leaving it at the park's Lovelock Fountain.
While land activities are abundant, Lake Eufaula boasts plenty of water. Enjoy a swimming area with a beach and multiple boat ramps for easy lake access. Fishing is a big attraction, and a marina makes year-round fishing possible with an enclosed, heated dock and tackle shop. Some of the largest fish in the state have been caught at Lake Eufaula.
Look into Lake Eufaula's various accommodations for an overnight stay. Choose an RV or tent site and make an easy online reservation for your camping destination. For a unique overnight accommodation, book a stay in one of the park’s three yurts, which come with heat/ac, bedding, a microwave, mini fridge, electrical outlets and an LED TV.
The Longhorn Loop yurt includes a foldout futon, large picnic shelter and doorstep lake access, while the ADA compliant Hummingbird Beach yurt comes with two full-sized futon bunk beds with nearby beach access. The Longhorn Loop Honeymoon yurt has a queen-sized log canopy bed indoors and two picnic tables, a grill, a fire pit and a lantern holder outdoors. Although there is no running water in the yurts, restroom facilities are located within 50 yards of the Longhorn Loop and Hummingbird Beach yurts, and 1000 yards from the Longhorn Loop Honeymoon yurt. Pets are not allowed inside yurts.
Comfort stations are scattered throughout the park. Ideal for meetings or family reunions, the group camp features a fully-equipped kitchen, dining hall, stocked pond and four air-conditioned bunkhouses that accommodate up to 96 people. Lake Eufaula State Park also features an airstrip for those who would like to fly into the park. In addition, there are coin operated washers and dryers located in the Dogwood Drive Campground.

Another pretty state park!
Very nice state park with lots of trees and large sites. They have a marina, as well as campground, and even a frogatorium!! We loved biking around the park and enjoyed the peace and quiet this time of year. We missed all the trees in bloom, but can only imagine how pretty it is.
Definitely coming back, great park!
Wonderful park, wish we had more time here. Called day of and staff were very helpful to locate an available spot. Beautiful area and camp sites! Am definitely coming back.
Nice Campground but pricey
In order to camp here you’ll have to reserve a spot online. This was very easy to do and they show you a picture of the individual campsite online. It’s $33 for a night with a camper/trailer/rv. It may be cheaper to just reserve a tent spot.
We stayed here for one night in our Rooftop Tent. We enjoyed our stay, there are level cement slabs with full hookups. Also every site had a fireplace, a grill and a little table/bench set. We stayed at the lakeside/lakeview loop and had a nice view of Lake Eufaula.
The bathrooms were clean enough, they’re a bit outdated, so I’m sure they’ll never look super duper clean. It was fine though. BUT: non of the women’s bathroom stalls was lockable. (One lock was broken and the other stall’s door couldn’t be closed because the toilet paper dispenser was in the way... I’m sure this is gonna be something they’ll fix before the main season starts again, though) The one shower stall with the best shower head also wasn’t lockable. Showers were warm (water & the room itself).
The campground itself was pretty quiet but about every hour or so we heard a train horn. Which was loud and excessive. Like not one short „choooooo“ but more like a „choooo chooo chooochoochoooo“ for more than 10-15s, all throughout the night.
Overall we had a good time though!
