We had a great time tent camping here on Labor Day Weekend. Beautiful park with grassy tent sites. Nice hiking trail. Bathrooms could stand to be updated. There is a marina where you can rent canoes and kayaks and buy supplies. There is a mini golf course too. 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.

LegendSequoyah State Park located just 8 miles from Wagoner Oklahoma has something for everyone. Sitting along the shore of Ft Gibson Lake with more than 19,000 surface acres and 225 miles of shoreline make this a water enthusiast paradise. From power boating, canoe and kayaking, fishing or just hanging at the beach area you will not be dissapointed. The park offers saddle rides, hiking and golf with a huge lodge facility complete with pool and splash area, dining, 104 guest rooms and 45 cottages. Camping is available in 5 campground areas varying from primitive tent camping to full hook up RV and bathhouses. The Choctaw campground sites all have water, sewer, and 50/30 amp electric with concrete pad, table, fire ring. Seminole and Cherokee having a mix of services. Paradise Cove and Chickasaw are for tent camping. There are plenty of picnic areas and playgrounds dispersed throughout and you definitely don't want to miss the Three Forks Nature Center. WARNING: Oklahoma State Parks charge a daily parking fee per vehicle of$10 in addition to the camping fee and they enforce it...just saying from experience...read the information carefully!

I stayed here two times and will come back if in the area. It’s cheap for tent camping and it’s clean and not a bunch of loud people. Quite get away for sure

This small campground is perfect if you are tent camping and need a quick place to stop and rest for a day or two. Oologah Lake is beautiful and the hiking trails are beautiful!

Dogwood part has full hookups and close walk to lake. Lake view is awesome water and electric no sewer. Tent sites are sweet wooded lots. All October is $5 tent
Guide
It was nice, individual spaces for tent camping. Where I was there wasn’t much for primitive type camping. Bring your own wood, but there is ample room and the fire pits have grates on them for cooking.
Ranger
Enjoyed our one night stay in the tent section right off the river. Restrooms, trash, and water were right across the parking lot. Each tent site has a picnic table and fire pit. Host came by to check us in.

Ft Gibson Lake near Wagoner Oklahoma offers six class A campgrounds for RV and tent camping, six marinas, multiple boat ramps on 19,990 surface acres of lake with 225 miles of shoreline. Our visit was to Rocky Point COE with a gated/staffed entry station, multiple camp hosts, day use areas, boat ramps, interior paved roads, RV concrete pads, large table, fire ring, grill, lantern holder, 50/30/15 amp electric and water on class A sites plus tent camping sites complete with shelters, tables, fire rings, grills, dispersed water spigots. The campground had a dump station, bath house and several trash receptacles. Most sites were on the water or had a water view and adequately spaced to enjoy the amazing sunrises and sunsets. We enjoyed site 2A which was a level pull through and big rig friendly. The rocky shoreline is a birders paradise...we had an eagle, three Great Blue Herons and plentiful hawks to name a few. The town of Wagoner has all the essentials to include grocery, fuel, dining and yes, Walmart. Verizon cell coverage was 1- 2 bars. The America The Beautiful Senior Pass is good for 50% camping discount. Recommend a look at Google Maps to plan your route into the campground from Oklahoma Hwy 69 as Garmin and Google are a little wacky. Just follow the signs!! 8568 STATE HWY. 251A, Wagoner, OK 74434 GPS- 36.027978,-95.314844

Only 8 RV sites with electric and water hook-ups. Small area with a bait shop at the lake. Fire rings and a lake view is about the extent of it. No hiking, tent camping etc… a cheap, simple place to relax and that’s it. $11 per night.
Traveler
Rented a tent site day before through the state website with no trouble, quiet as there weren’t many campers there that night where we were. Beautiful view of the lake in the morning.
Guide
Great State Park close to Tulsa. RV sites and primitive Tent Camping. Great clean and modern toilets and showers with heating and air near the marina. There is a camp shop near the entrance and a short nature trail with some great views. I will definitely be going back
Guide
The showers are great. Camp sites are well maintained. Fire rings, grills and picnic tables on sites. Sewer hookups on RV sites and nice tent camping sites. Store has what you will need and it's on the best part of river for floating. Security at gate keeps the riff raff from cruising the grounds.
Traveler
This place is usually busy and loud with 4-wheelers and rock-crawlers... the tent camping area only had porta-pottys and they were full when we were there. You can drive to the RV area for bathrooms and showers. Camping areas are open (not designated), making it convenient for groups to get together.
ScoutIt was great. I took my boys, 8 and 18 year old. Very quiet and felt secluded even though the campsites were about 75% full. Tent camped with electrical hook-ups which I wasn't expecting. I think it was only$14 a days. Went hiking the next day on the trails around the lake and mountain
Guide
The title says it all, being right off the lake you get all of your lake benefits.
I went on a very windy day, so tent camping was never going to happen, but getting rocked to sleep in my hammock was nice.
Pros: Electric hookups at all sites No light pollution Good bathrooms and showers
Cons: A Loop, is really the only loop you should tent in Two night minimum The "nature trail" is just a cut from A Loop to the showers
GuideHiked some of the trails here today. Good trails, fairly well marked, until the very end. No service in the woods of the trails, but T-Mobile reception through the campgrounds.
Nice looking lake, clean bathrooms, easy access to trash cans. Campsites with grills, rv camps all looks really nice. Can't wait to book a tent site after what I've seen!
Travelerstayed for one night during a road trip with a friend. We're both females and felt safe. Tent sites were pretty big and flat. We didn't go in the lake, the water was pretty stagnant and didn't feel refreshing. The bathrooms were okay, I didn't take a shower, but they seemed clean. Sunset by the lake was really beautiful! Rangers/staff were very nice and helpful too.
GuideSequoyah State Park is just beautiful. I stayed in Paradise Cove in a tent site quite literally right on the water since this part of Oklahoma is experiencing flooding right now. There are flush toilets in this part of the park, but there are showers in others. There’s a short hiking trail, it’s great for bike riding, and there’s a nature center with various animals. There’s also a golf course and a lodge at the opposite end of the park. Since it was my first solo camping trip I wanted to make sure I wasn’t too far from civilization in case I didn’t have everything I needed. It was a fabulous trip and I’d definitely stay here again!

The Rv sites are close together and the tent camping spots have no privacy or shade. Check the event calendar bc it’s fun to stay for one of their events. They do all kinds of stuff! The casino is smaller but a lot of fun with a big dance floor if you like dancing. There’s no places to hike, swim or do any fun family activities unless there’s races or a event going on. You’d literally just be staying to go to the casino unless you were driving thru, it’s a good place to stay but not for a vacation.
GuideThere are a lot of RV and tent sites with plenty of asphalt roads throughout the park to walk on. We didn’t see any showers and the park has pit toilets. There’s a beautiful playground for the kids. This place is close to home for me and it was so much better when I was a kid. They definitely should’ve put showers and toilets back in when they rebuilt. We ate good food and my gentle giant loved the water and our walks. I seriously doubt I’ll ever go back.

This is a nice campground. I stayed there for 1 week. The campground is run by the Corps Of Engineers. It is well maintained and has a gate that is locked at night. There is RV camping and tent camping. Across from the pavilion in the tent area are trails through the woods that lead to the Cliff's and rock ledges. The water is deep, clear and cool. We like to dive from the Cliff's and swim from the rock ledges. There is a dock, boat ramp, swimming area and 2 bathrooms with showers. The deer roam around in the evening. I really like this campground it is not as busy as some of the other campgrounds on Tenkiller lake.
GuideI really enjoyed my stay at Keystone Lake State Park, despite my slightly rowdy neighboring campers. We stayed at a tent site with a direct, but slightly tough, route down to the lake. The area was beautiful, and there were plenty of amenities, including restroom and shower. Though we didn't actually see much wildlife, we did have what we think was a sneaky raccoon steal our bread in the night, so lock that cooler up tight! The lake is beautiful and warm until you get deep, and the people were all really friendly (aside from our neighboring campers)!
LegendI have been going to Skiatook Lake almost all of my life with friends and family to boat and enjoy the beaches. The campground is rather pleasant, if small and the spots are pretty close to one another. Mostly geared to RV's, tent camping is loud and not the most fun. We wouldn't go here for hiking and only to enjoy the lake. The beach is great for dogs but we got kicked out because we didn't have a spot when literally no one was in the park. That sours my opinion of the campground but overall, if you are a boater and RVer it is one of the best spots in the region.
Guide
We are camping in a 27’ travel trailer in site 13 but there are beautiful tent sites, some right on the water. This particular site is beautiful, shaded, has a lake view, and is within 100 yds of a nice swimming area and a beautiful spot for SUP boards and kayaks. If you have a boat, it can be anchored by the beach. IMO this site was moderately difficult to back in the trailer so if you don’t have good backing skills this isn’t the site for you. There’s a picnic table, fire ring, and charcoal grill on site as well as electric and water- no sewer.
