    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Devil's Den State Park Campground welcomes dogs and other pets throughout its tent sites, RV spaces, and cabins. Several campgrounds around Tenkiller Ferry Lake maintain pet-friendly policies, including Chicken Creek, Petit Bay, and Cookson Bend where campers regularly bring well-behaved dogs to enjoy lake activities. Pets must remain leashed or penned at all times in these Corps of Engineers campgrounds, with quiet hours enforced from 10 pm to 6 am when barking dogs can disturb other campers. Brushy Lake State Park receives positive reviews for its pet-friendly camping areas around a small, family-oriented lake that's excellent for fishing and kayaking with four-legged companions.

    Tenkiller Ferry Lake's clear waters and shoreline trails provide multiple pet exercise opportunities at campgrounds like Petit Bay, which features two sections offering different camping experiences for dogs and their owners. The 12,500-acre lake creates an ideal environment for outdoor activities with pets, though camping areas like Standing Rock Landing no longer permit camping due to safety concerns. Most campgrounds feature water and electric hookups with nearby dump stations, while some like Tenkiller Bluff RV Park offer sewer connections. Lake Tenkiller's visibility extends 8-28 feet, making the shoreline ideal for dogs that enjoy swimming. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound along pet-friendly trails through the oak-hickory forests surrounding these campgrounds, though owners should keep dogs secured due to local wildlife.

      Riverfront RV Resort

      A Hidden Gem

      We needed an overnight spot on our way from Oklahoma to NW Arkansas, and I'm glad that we picked this park. It's located right next to the Arkansas River with a nice concrete walking trail along the river. Parking for registration is located right next to the office. All the park staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. 

      The road from the highway to the park is fairly 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- very peaceful. However, you will hear occasional train horns from the crossing a few miles away. You'll only hear them when outside your RV, never inside. 

      We were assigned to pull-thru site number 44. All the sites are concrete and appear fairly level. Our site was level side to side, and 5 inches from front to rear. There are no 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 very good, and the in-ground sewer connection was conveniently located. There is also a picnic table located at each site. 

      Bathrooms, Showers, and the pool are all located near the registration office building and are in great shape. There are no trash cans by the sites- just a dumpster area near the dog park and playground. However, they do come by your site each morning to pick up any trash that you've set out. 

      Wi-Fi, Satellite, OTA: there is decent Wi-Fi in the park with repeater towers spaced approximately every four sites, so each site has a fairly strong signal- we achieved 9.52 Mbps down and 2.02 Mbps up. We got AT&T 5G with 4 bars and achieved 512 Mbps down and 32 Mbps up. If you need clear access for satellite reception, trees will not be an issue. Also, you can pick up plenty of OTA stations with good HD quality reception. 

      Dog Park: They have a nice fenced-in park that is in great condition and is well lit at night. They provide doggie bags and a trash can, both in the dog park and along the walking paths. 

      Amenities: Lots of items are listed on their website. 

      Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay. The park is only a couple of years old and is very well maintained. Only about 15-20 percent of the spaces were occupied. Note that sites 100- 115 are along the river. There is a concrete public walking path along the river, but those sites are elevated above the path, with a grass and tree buffer zone between them. There are a couple of covered pavilions in the park with built-in gas grills and comfortable seating areas. The park map provides a very accurate rendition of the park. See my attached photos for more details. 

      This park deserves its high rating, and I do not hesitate to recommend it - enjoy your stay!

      Crossroads RV Park and Campground

      Affordable

      Stayed for a little over a month for my husband's work. Great monthly rate. The property is currently for sale. There is a laundry/bathhouse (you may need to bring your own TP) with two washers (No change machine), two dryers and propane fill on site (curren owner is not here much/may need to schedule refill time). It appears that they are in the middle of opening a larger laundry/shower house. Lots of grassy areas for pet people and an easy commute for shopping. There is traffic noise as it is off a busy road, music or TV drowns it out. There are many people who live here permanently. I see someone take their trash out daily. This could be why i had to spray a LOT to avoid a roach infestation. There is a nice stray "park dog" and several stray cats. I would stay here again as it is for sale.

      Hog Valley RV & Treehouse Resort

      Nice spot - Lots of amenities

      Hog Valley RV Park is a solid place to stay, especially for families. The amenities are nice, particularly if you have children, with parks, basketball courts, and pickleball courts available. The two pools were closed for the season during our stay, so keep that in mind depending on when you visit.

      The front staff was very welcoming and even escorted us to our spot, which was a nice touch. The park was quiet at night, and the sites were level with full hookups, which made setup easy. There are also plenty of spots available throughout the park.

      A few downsides kept it from being a 5-star stay. The grass was extremely damp, and our dogs got soaked just from laying down. There is also only one trash area, located near the front entrance, which is pretty far from many of the sites. The dog parks were just average, possibly a little below average.

      Overall, it was a good stay with great family-friendly amenities and friendly staff. I’d recommend it, especially for families, but there are a few areas that could be improved.

      Sallisaw-Fort Smith West KOA

      Convenient to I-40

      This is KOA, not my favorite place to stop, but they have good, basic facilities, sort of like Motel 6. They are just off I-40, so it was convenient for a one night stop. The sites were level, and were Pull-Thru so we didn’t even unhook. Full hookups, Some shade, a dump station. The shower/bathroom was clean. There is a small store. They also have cabins and tent sites; Free Wi-Fi, cable tv, a pool and playground, and a pond for fishing. There is a small Kamp K9 (dog park). When we were there everything was wet, and the smell of wet creosote from the log yard next door was terrible.

      Hog Valley RV & Treehouse Resort

      Still a nice park, but...

      We last stayed here five years ago when the park was new. Some of the areas and amenities that are now available were still under construction during our last trip. The bottom line… still a very nice park, but it's starting to show its age a little. 

      Parking for registration is located right next to the office. All the park staff we 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, though several roads have asphalt failures that need attention. Even though it's not too far from Interstate 49, we didn't hear any traffic noise at all- very peaceful. 

      We were assigned to pull-thru site number 36. Most of the sites are gravel, but the pull-thru row that we were in had concrete pads. For the most part, all sites appear fairly level. 

      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. 

      Two bathroom areas also have showers and laundry facilities- one at the front of the park and one in the rear. The pool area and playground are located at the front of the park.

      Wi-Fi, Satellite, Cable, and OTA: there is Wi-Fi in the park, but the park info sheet that they provide you with notes that the Wi-Fi is spotty. We were able to get AT&T 5G with 4 bars. AT&T achieved 418 Mbps down and 21 Mbps up. Satellite reception should not be an issue at most sites, and if you do need clear access for satellite reception, there are plenty of sites available with no trees. There are plenty of OTA stations available, and they all had great reception with clear HD pictures. Cable was not available. 

      Dog Park: They have two nice fenced-in parks that are in great condition. The one in the front of the park is divided for big and small dogs, while the one in the back is larger but not divided. They both have benches, which are all in good shape. They also provide doggie bags and a trash can. NOTE: I've included a photo of the sign posted at the entrances to the park indicating that they might be shut down. So if having a fenced dog park is mission-critical for your stay, you might want to verify that they are still open when you make your reservation 

      Amenities: Lots of items are listed on their website, and you are only a few miles from Fayetteville, where you can find plenty of stores and restaurants. Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay. Although the park is starting to show its age, it still deserves a high rating, and I would not hesitate to recommend it- enjoy your stay!

      Sequoyah State Park - Marina and Cabins

      Beautiful park and campgrounds

      Even in November this is a great place to camp. In the Choctaw loop easy back in or pull thru sites. Very short walk to the lakeshore. Golf course in the park. Pet friendly. Close to tulsa too. There are shops just outside the park if you need propane or charcoal etc. Worth the trip!

      Devil's Den State Park Campground

      NW Arkansas Camping

      Devil’s Den SP had a great campground with full hookups available. The natural beauty of this area is breathtaking! Plenty of hiking opportunities and tons of activities. Very pet friendly. And close to so many attractions in Northwest Arkansas!


    Guide to Bunch

    Tenkiller Ferry Lake dominates the camping landscape near Bunch, Oklahoma. Located in eastern Oklahoma's Cookson Hills area, camping elevations range between 500-800 feet with mild springs and hot summers. The region's oak-hickory forest creates a canopy across multiple campgrounds, with average summer temperatures reaching 90°F during peak camping season.

    What to do

    Hiking through wooded terrain: Devil's Den State Park Campground offers extensive trail systems. "The trails are great and have beautiful views. The rangers and staff in the shop are very nice. Bring what you need the nearest store is about 20 minutes out," notes tiffany H. The Yellow Rock trail receives particular attention from visitors seeking woodland exploration.

    Water activities beyond swimming: Greenleaf State Park Campground provides multiple water recreation options. "We enjoyed hiking the trails and our little one enjoyed the splash pad. The splash pad is fairly new and kept in great shape. It is a local favorite," writes Kassi S. The park includes a marina where visitors can rent canoes and kayaks.

    Wildlife viewing opportunities: The forests around Bunch harbor diverse wildlife visible from campgrounds. "My first evening I wandered down to use the restroom and I observed a pack of turkeys quietly making their way down the ridge. It was magical," shares Jo L. about Greenleaf State Park. Many campgrounds provide wildlife viewing opportunities during quieter morning and evening hours.

    What campers like

    Clear water visibility: Petit Bay - Tenkiller Ferry Lake receives praise for its water clarity. "The campground on Tenkiller Ferry Lake is an excellent location for visitors looking for a well-kept waterfront facility, which offers access for boating, swimming and wildlife viewing," notes N I. The lake's visibility makes it particularly valuable for fishing and water sports.

    Seasonal camping options: Many campers appreciate Snake Creek's off-season appeal. "Located in the foothills of the Ozarks in eastern Oklahoma on crystal clear Tenkiller Lake, a COE project from the mid 1950's on the Illinois River. We stayed on site 18 which is gravel W/E (50A)," reports Bran P. The park features approximately 110 wooded sites with varying hookup options.

    Lakeside positioning: Campers consistently mention shoreline access as a key feature. "We had a great spot located 200 yards from the lake. Also had the boat dock just on the other side of us," notes Ashley T. about Chicken Creek. Most waterfront campgrounds offer a mix of sites with direct water views and more sheltered inland options.

    What you should know

    Cell service limitations: Mobile coverage varies significantly between campgrounds. "Practically zero Verizon reception which meant no internet or phone," reports Bran P. about Snake Creek. In contrast, at Chicken Creek, John A. notes "Excellent Verizon service."

    Facility maintenance varies: Campground conditions fluctuate based on season and maintenance schedules. "Cookson Bend has the potential to be a beautiful campground but lacks facility and grounds maintenance. Unfortunately, this is well below the COE's typical standards," observes Randy about Cookson Bend Campground.

    Specific gate hours: Most Corps of Engineers campgrounds enforce strict entrance/exit times. "Check-out time: 3:00 pm. Check-in time: 6:00 pm. Quiet hours: 10:00 pm- 6:00 am. Entrance gates will be closed during this time," notes N I. about multiple area campgrounds. Plan arrivals accordingly to avoid being locked out.

    Tips for camping with families

    Splash pad access: Sallisaw-Fort Smith West KOA offers water play options beyond the lake. "Lots to do here at this conveniently located spot. Basketball hoop, pool and hot tub, pond with kayaks, and more," writes Ben P. The KOA provides structured recreation options when lake weather is unfavorable.

    Wildlife viewing with kids: Morning and evening hours offer prime wildlife spotting opportunities. "Animals! Turtles, deer that like to be petted, frogs croaking at night, owls talking, beavers splashing in the lake and turkeys eating snakes!" notes Julie O. about Greenleaf State Park.

    Small lake options for beginners: Families with young children may prefer smaller, more controlled environments. "21 RV spots available around a small, family lake. Water and electric hook ups and clean dump station. Small park/play area and two large pavilions. Hiking trail located at the back of the park. Lake is great for fishing and kayaking," explains Logan D. about Brushy Lake State Park Campground.

    Tips from RVers

    Power options consideration: Different campgrounds offer varying electrical service. "Only seven 50 amp spots and no sewer sites but the campground is great," notes Mark J. about Chicken Creek. For larger RVs requiring 50-amp service, availability is limited and reservations are essential.

    Site spacing concerns: RV site proximity varies considerably between campgrounds. "We had a neighbor's picnic table maybe a foot or two at best from the slide out side window who proceeded to burn trash in their firepit the entire weekend," reports Gonzo A. about Greenleaf State Park's Deer Run campground.

    Terrain challenges: Access roads can present difficulties for larger RVs. "If you have a large rig - make sure to take the West Fork exit off I-49 vs. the south exit (Winslow)," advises Gonzo A. regarding Devil's Den State Park. Some campgrounds with pet friendly policies around Bunch have steep entrance roads that can challenge larger vehicles.
