Gentry Creek Landing

Our campsite, #33, was perched on top of a hill, accessible by a fairly long, steep incline.  The site is not level and would be appropriate only for shorter RVs.  The site's position made it one of the more isolated campsites so it was more private than others.  Site #33 does not have its own water source.  It shares one water spigot with 2 other sites.

Eufaula Lake was muddy and not very appealing. The camp grounds were well-maintained and the camp host was friendly.

We are right on the lake with beach access to enter. Water and electric hook ups at all spots with a central dumping station.

The campground manager was excellent, on the lake and no one around. Stay here if you can.

Great Corp of Engineers park. Very reasonably priced. Lots of families with children playing in the lake.

The night we spent here, we were the only ones in that whole section of the campground, so we had the whole place to ourselves.  The campsite was nice -- next to the lake, spacious, and clean.  The only toilet was infested with wasps, so we weren't able to use it.  But the night skies were gorgeous.

Not as nice as other parks along our i40 route from CA to GA, but hospitality was great and appreciated the kindness of the folks who manage this property. Little sketchy of the red/brown lake water to swim in and the bugs are massive compared to the desert. Lol but we loved the lush forests, ability to park ride our bikes around the quiet roads and enjoy the sweet lake views that reminded of a childhood home back in Michigan. On to the road we go again.

I enjoyed my stay.  I was able to get in even though I didn't make a reservation.  I might add that most gov run camps now require online booking and payment.  Some of the sites are small and would be hard to get a larger RV into so you might want to call the keepers and ask about that.  Nice bathhouses and a great playground for the kids.  You might want to be close if you have kids and far from it if you don't…  I will probably visit there again.  Senior passes and other National Park passes are honored.

Be aware, you will not be allowed into the park without a prior reservation. My husband and I came late into the area and needed a place to sleep. The website did not say that reservations were REQUIRED, just that they were available. The attendant would not let me make a quick reservation on my phone, even when I mentioned that it looked like plenty of spots were available. She said “oh yes, I’ve got lots of spaces.” She kicked us out. I will not be going back.

We stayed on campsite 39. It was by the boat ramp. We were there at the first of April and it was beautiful. Scores of down and dead oak laying all around the campgrounds. Vault toilets were fairly clean on our side. Its pretty quiet but I’m fairly sensitive to road noise when I’m camping. And I can hear the highway for sure. But I haven’t found a place in Oklahoma where I can’t so far.

Very disappointed. RV barely fit, site too narrow. Gate attendants were very friendly and helpful.
