McGee Creek State Park houses upscale glamping accommodations along the scenic shoreline of its tranquil lake, offering a perfect blend of wilderness immersion and modern comfort. The park features luxury camping options including climate-controlled glamping huts at Potapo Hill that come equipped with bunk beds, picnic tables, screened-in porches, and private balconies overlooking the water. These historic structures built in the 1940s provide the perfect base for outdoor adventure without sacrificing comfort. Each glamping unit includes electricity and climate control while maintaining a rustic charm beneath towering pines. K River Campground, located near Moyers, complements the area's glamping scene with distinctive yurt accommodations that combine circular canvas walls with solid structural elements. These accommodations feature comfortable sleeping arrangements, electricity, and proximity to the riverside. "The huts have plenty of room for queen size air mattresses and give good discounts for veterans, military, and disabled," noted one guest.
Situated against the backdrop of the Kiamichi Mountains, these glamping destinations offer exceptional stargazing opportunities with minimal light pollution across the unspoiled landscape. McGee Creek's glamping sites serve as perfect base camps for exploring the park's extensive network of hiking trails that wind through pine forests and along rocky outcroppings. Water activities abound with opportunities for kayaking, swimming, and fishing directly from the glamping areas, with covered fishing docks available for anglers. K River provides additional unique experiences with a petting zoo on-site and access to off-road vehicle trails for adventure seekers. The property continues expanding its luxury offerings with new accommodations being added regularly. A recent visitor mentioned, "The cabins are adorable and their general store was so cute! They have a community kitchen anyone can use!" Winter visits are particularly recommended when the occasional snowfall transforms the landscape into a serene woodland retreat.

GuideChoctaw RV Park
This park is a first-class resort!
We needed an overnight spot on our way back home to Texas, and we're so glad that we picked this park! Easy on and easy off of Highway 69, and It's located right next to the Choctaw Casino complex.
Parking for registration is located right by the office, and all the park staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The road from the highway to the park is very easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate. Even though it's not too far from the main road, we didn't hear any traffic noise at all.
We were assigned to pull-thru site number 41. All the sites are concrete and appear fairly level. Our site was level side to side, and a few inches off from front to rear. There are very few shade trees for the majority of the park sites. 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 okay, and the in-ground sewer connection was conveniently located. There is also a picnic table and a covered trash can located at each site.
Bathrooms, Showers, laundry facilities, and the pool are all located at the registration office building and are in great shape. In fact, they are the cleanest and nicest facilities that we've ever experienced at an RV park. They are on par with what you would expect at a 5-Star resort.
Wi-Fi, Satellite, OTA: there is free Wi-Fi in the park with numerous repeater towers, so each site has a fairly strong signal- we achieved 101 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up. We got AT&T 5G with 3 bars and achieved 330 Mbps down and 11.3 Mbps up. If you need clear access for satellite reception, trees will not be an issue. Also, you can pick up approximately 50 OTA stations with good HD quality reception.
Dog Park: They have a nice fenced-in park that is divided into two separate areas. They provide doggie bags and a trash can.
Amenities: Lots of items are listed on their website. They have a propane area where you can fill your existing tanks, exchange tanks, or even buy new tanks. They also have RV supplies and parts located in the office area.
Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay. They provide free shuttle service to the Casino Complex that has plenty of restaurants and a multi-screen movie theater. The park map provides a very accurate rendition of the park. See my attached photos for more details.
Bottom line- this park is owned by the Choctaw Nation and is part of the Casino Complex. So, the RV park is maintained at an exceptional level since income from the RV park is not critical. They just want their RV guests to have a first-class experience. Even if you don't gamble or dine out, take the free shuttle over to the casino complex just to see what it offers. It's truly a Vegas-like experience. This park deserves its high rating, and I do not hesitate to recommend it!

Eisenhower State Park Campground
Nice park overall. Clean and secure.
I’ve been here several times over the last few years (latest oct 2025). I like the hiking trails and the amazing beauty of the outdoors. The lake is pretty and probably fun to fish or boat on. I didn’t do this while I was there. There is a small onsite store. The roads are maintained and paved and the campsites are very nice sized with long parking spots for campers. Some tent sites have power and some even have large screen shelters. The park is monitored by state police throughout the day and night and that is good to keep the trouble away.

This place is a gem and is the only natural aquifer left in Oklahoma. You have to have fishing licenses to enter. I thought that was very strange provided we only camp to camp and swim.

Guide to Atoka
McGee Creek State Park offers diverse glamping options near Atoka, Oklahoma across several camping areas. Situated among the Kiamichi Mountains at elevations ranging from 700-1,400 feet, the park experiences distinctive seasonal changes with occasional winter snowfall. Temperature swings can be significant, with summer highs regularly exceeding 95°F and winter lows dropping below freezing.
What to do
Hiking trails for all skill levels: Tent Hill at McGee Creek State Park provides direct trail access from secluded camping sites. "I stayed at 'tent hill' primitive area. Spot number 3 and it was PERFECT! Wooded area, quiet, peaceful. Trail literally right across from the section," notes one visitor.
Fishing from covered docks: Lake Texoma offers numerous fishing platforms for anglers seeking catfish and crappie. A camper at Lake Texoma State Park reported, "We stayed here in October at an RV site right on the water... We took a nice hike and took the boat out for the day."
Swimming in clear water: Blue River Campground features natural swimming holes with rope swings. "Small falls and rope swings make this the perfect way to cool off in the hot Oklahoma sun," writes a camper. "The water is so clear, you can see the fish in it," notes another visitor.
What campers like
Secluded tent camping options: McGee Creek's Tent Hill area offers privacy away from busier RV sections. "The thing we really liked about this particular site was that there are only 4 tent sites here, so it's secluded and nice and quiet. There is very little traffic driving by as well."
Natural swimming areas: Blue River Campground provides access to Oklahoma's only natural aquifer. "This place is a gem and is the only natural aquifer left in Oklahoma," explains one camper. The river consists of "clear water flowing over a series of rock ledges with long clear pools in between."
Dark skies for stargazing: Burns Run West offers excellent night sky viewing due to minimal light pollution. "This is a great location with nice facilities. It is close enough for shopping and restaurants should that be needed and isolated enough to enjoy the outdoors," reports a visitor to Burns Run West Campground.
What you should know
Fishing license requirements: Blue River Campground requires all visitors to have an Oklahoma fishing license. "You need to have an OK fishing license to camp (or visit) here. If you do have the license, the campground is free but they do not provide any services or amenities."
Wildlife considerations: Watch for snakes while hiking near water. "Hiking is great but watch out for snakes on the ground along trails. I saw a few. There are many snakes such as rattlesnakes and copperheads."
Off-season closures: Many facilities reduce operations during winter. A camper at K River Campground noted, "The only reason I rated it 4 stars is that it's a work in progress. New cabins were being added and more trails were being cut while we were there."
Tips for camping with families
Beach access for children: Burns Run West has sandy beaches suitable for young swimmers. "Nice swimming area for the two young kids. Water hookups right next to campsite," reports one family. Another mentions, "The beaches were clean and had legit beach sand, which was very nice!"
Petting zoo activities: K River Campground offers animal interactions for children. "Off-road vehicle trails a petting zoo on site. Check the web site for activities, there may be live music or a large gathering scheduled."
Playground facilities: Buckhorn Campground offers recreational areas specifically designed for children. "We stayed at site 71 and it was just an amazing site. It's got the benefit of being the last site on the walk up trail so you get a lot of space to play around!"
Tips from RVers
Levelness considerations: Check pad specifications before booking. At Buckhorn Campground, one RVer warned, "Just beware if you are camping in an RV, the site is VERY unlevel! We were in a pop up camper and had one tire up off the ground at least 6 inches with our Baleveler."
Pull-through availability: Choctaw RV Park offers spacious sites for larger rigs. "The sites are spacious pull through sites. There's a small pond that had Canadian geese swimming in it. The bathroom and shower area was immaculate and felt like a nicer hotel."
Hookup options: Lake Texoma State Park offers various hookup configurations. "The RV section has both full hookups and water/electric hookups. The prettiest sites are the ones without sewer. Most of the RV sites have nice, level concrete pads (except the one we choose... crushed granite)."
