    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Fort Gibson Lake dominates the camping landscape in the Okay, Oklahoma area, with several campgrounds offering waterfront access. Sequoyah Bay State Park features cabin accommodations alongside traditional tent and RV camping options, while Wahoo Bay and Jackson Bay Recreation Area provide more primitive camping experiences directly overlooking the lake. Greenleaf State Park Campground, approximately 15 miles south of Okay, offers year-round camping with modern amenities including electric hookups, showers, and water access. Most campgrounds in this region cater to both tent and RV campers, with several sites specifically designed to accommodate larger recreational vehicles.

    The camping season extends throughout the year at most locations, though summer remains the most popular time for visitors. Several campgrounds, including Taylor Ferry and Blue Bill Point, operate on a seasonal schedule from spring through late fall. Water levels on Fort Gibson Lake can fluctuate significantly due to its function as a flood control lake, potentially affecting boat ramp access during heavy rainfall periods. Many Army Corps of Engineers sites in the area permit stays up to 14 days with varying fee structures. Wahoo Bay stands out for offering free camping with basic amenities. A visitor noted: "Fort Gibson Lake is a flood control lake so the water levels can fluctuate. Specifically the waters can rise to where boating ramps are not available."

    Waterfront campsites receive consistently positive reviews, with many visitors highlighting the expansive lake views and spacious sites. The east side of Fort Gibson Lake features spring-fed creeks providing clearer water, making these areas particularly desirable for swimming and fishing. Campers report mixed experiences with amenities – while some campgrounds offer full hookups with modern facilities, others provide only vault toilets and limited drinking water access. One camper described their experience: "The campground is great except no sewer connections. The boat ramp is fantastic, great views of the lake and plenty of trees, most sites are shaded." Most reviewers appreciate the natural setting and relative quiet, though proximity to boat ramps can occasionally create additional traffic and noise, especially during peak summer weekends.

      Little Turtle RV & Storage

      Nice, quiet, and with easy access to highway!

      During the past five years, we've stayed at this park at least six times. It's a good overnight stopping point as we head back to Texas, with easy access from the highway and a nice dog park. If you travel with pets, then you know why that's important. 

      All the park staff we have ever dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The road from the highway to the park is easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate. Even though it's close to the highway, you really won't hear much traffic noise, especially if you're at the rear of the park away from the roadway. 

      We were assigned to pull-through site number E1 with a concrete pad that is level from side to side. Power, Water, and Sewer were all conveniently located, and the power supply had no issues at all. We use a power management system, and all electrical parameters were spot on during our stay. Water pressure was very good, and the in-ground sewer connection was conveniently located. 

      NOTE: We always request space E1 because it is level, has a nice-sized shade tree that blocks the afternoon sun, and is close to the bathrooms, showers, pool, and laundry room. I've included several aerial photos of the park, and you will see that it is pretty full. Probably 90% of those staying here are full-time or seasonal. Row E is usually left open for travelers, so you might want to request a site on that row, as they are pretty much level. Even though the park has mostly full-time residents, it is nice, quiet, and well maintained. If it wasn't, we wouldn't continually stay here. 

      The bathrooms, showers, laundry room, and pool area are all located in one location at the front of Row E and are clean and well maintained with secure door and gate codes. Wi-Fi, Satellite, Cable, and OTA: We were able to get AT&T 5G with 3 bars. AT&T achieved 567 Mbps down and 6.43 Mbps up. Satellite reception should not be an issue at most sites, and if you do need totally clear access for satellite reception, there are sites available with no trees. We were able to get 30 OTA stations available, and they all had great reception with clear HD pictures. Cable and Wi-Fi were not available. 

      Dog Park: They have a very nice fenced-in park that is always in great condition. The park is divided for big and small dogs, and the large-dog area is very large with lots of tree coverage. They also provide doggie bags and a trash can. 

      Amenities: Lots of items are listed on their website, and you are only a few miles from town, where you can find plenty of stores and restaurants. Also, this is a Good Sam Park, so if you're a member, you'll get a discount if you let them know. Summary: A great place for an overnight stay, and I would not hesitate to recommend it- enjoy your stay!

      Decent place for lake stay

      Quiet camping, restrooms are clean and have showers.

      Site 10 was a nice site with 50 amp.

      There was some sort of dumpster situation with new rollaways beside old dumpsters. Old dumpsters looked like were attempted to be taped up but they were used and overfilled with trash. So full that trash was flying around the park at times. Not sure what the situation was.

      Pretty good park

      The campground is quite nice overall, but the bathrooms and showers need to be updated, as they are somewhat outdated. The tent sites are close to the bathrooms, and the pads are flat and framed with either wood or steel rails. They offer electricity but no water at the pad, although water is available at a central location. The travel trailer sites offer water and electricity, and you can park your boat on the shoreline.

      Great lake to be on

      I enjoyed my stay, although I wish the bathrooms and showers were more modern. There is a swimming area and plenty of space to bring your boat ashore close to your campsite. They offer a few tent sites, but mostly RV sites.

      Brushy Lake State Park Campground

      Great spot

      Loved it. Quiet, friendly. Sign in with host. No envelopes. Online now but still buggy. Can't beat the rate. We'll be back.

      Lakeside RV Park

      Quaint and friendly

      We have stayed here on and off over a year - and there’s a reason we keep coming back. It’s quaint and friendly. Tim (the owner) is hilarious and so helpful.

      Hawthorn Bluff

      Quiet spot with clean showers, $16 well spent

      For $16 we got a quiet, shaded spot by the lake with clean showers. Since we only carry a camp shower and privacy is a bit hard to come by in this part of the country, it was a worthwhile investment.

      Webbers Falls City Park

      Nice view of the Lake but don’t come for the shower.

      It’s by a noisy highway. Pretty place though.


    Guide to Okay

    The Okay, Oklahoma camping area sits at the junction of Fort Gibson Lake and the Verdigris River in eastern Oklahoma, at around 600 feet elevation. The region experiences hot, humid summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F, while spring and fall offer milder conditions ideal for outdoor activities. Winter camping remains available at several year-round campgrounds with temperatures typically ranging from 30-50°F.

    What to do

    Fishing opportunities: At Afton Landing, campers can fish directly from their campsite. "We enjoyed fishing and watching the fish jump in the river. The camp host was very friendly and so were the other campers," notes Corey P. The riverfront sites provide immediate water access.

    Swimming areas: The shallow-entry swimming area at Blue Bill Point accommodates families with young children. "The swim area is perfect for our toddler grandsons, as it's a slow decline," shares Penny C. The rocky beach area is well-maintained and accessible from most campsites.

    Hiking trails: Greenleaf State Park offers multiple trail options through diverse terrain. "The trails at greenleaf are well maintained and marked. Their primitive camping is accessible and well kept," reports Cody L. The park's trail system connects to both lakefront areas and woodland sections suitable for day hikes.

    What campers like

    Spacious campsites: Many campers appreciate the room between sites at Wahoo Bay, which allows for privacy. "The campsites are very specious and most if not all of them overlook the lake," notes UnnamedAdventures. This campground permits stays up to 14 days without charge.

    Seasonal activities: Sequoyah State Park offers special seasonal programming. "In October, they do trick or treating every weekend - which is fun!" shares Jenny. The park maintains regular recreational activities throughout the year beyond standard water sports.

    Clean facilities: Taylor Ferry maintains its restrooms and common areas well. "Gate keepers were wonderful and very helpful I saw some old oyster mushrooms all over the place possibly some lions mane. I had a great time," Elizabeth B. reports. The north area features a private shower house, which remains well-maintained even during busy periods.

    What you should know

    Water level fluctuations: Water access can change throughout the year at Tullahassee Loop Recreation Area. "More rustic than we expected, but we still enjoyed our one night stay," notes Adams. During periods of low water, shorelines may extend significantly.

    Reservation systems: Most campgrounds require advance booking through recreation.gov, with some offering QR code check-in. "Checking in at this campground is super simple, each site has a QR code that takes you straight to the recreation.gov listing," Brandon R. explains about Afton Landing.

    Limited amenities: Several camping sites near Okay, Oklahoma operate with minimal facilities. "Small, quite, clean camp ground. Perfect for one on one time with yourself or spouse to really spend time with each other," shares Donald M. about Tullahassee Loop Recreation Area, which offers basic services like vault toilets and water spigots.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Greenleaf State Park Campground provides multiple playgrounds and a splash pad for children. "The absolute best part of this park is the splash pad. It was the best splash pad we've been too. They had a cool slide and we had a blast," Richard reports. The splash pad operates seasonally during warmer months.

    Nature programs: Sequoyah State Park offers educational activities for children. "Nature Center staff were more helpful than the info center, on top of a super educational and fun tour they held even in the chilly wind," Leni K. shares. Programs run year-round with increased frequency during summer months.

    Swimming safety: Designated swimming areas provide safer options for families. "Loved the rocky beach and how wooded all the sites were!" Erin notes about Blue Bill Point, which maintains a dedicated swimming area separate from boat traffic.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection: RVers should research specific sites at Taylor Ferry Campground before booking. "The campground is great except no sewer connections. The boat ramp is fantastic, great views of the lake and plenty of trees, most sites are shaded," explains Royce A. The north side sites close during winter months.

    Hookup availability: Water and electric hookups vary across camping areas. "This campground has easy, level sites at a nice angle, so you aren't facing right at the back of someone else's trailer," Christopher A. notes about Sequoyah Bay State Park. Sites near water access points often have fewer hookup options.

    Road conditions: Access roads to some campgrounds may challenge larger RVs. "The road leading to the campground is mostly gravel, but it's manageable," Katharina D. reports about Jackson Bay Recreation Area, which offers free camping but minimal amenities for RVs requiring hookups.
