1 campground with availability this weekend
Robbers Cave State Park features equestrian camping in a dedicated campground with well-maintained facilities for trail riders. The equestrian camping area has updated restrooms and hot showers that campers describe as the nicest they've experienced at state parks. Sites include fire rings, picnic tables, and ample space for horse trailers. The state park accommodates various camping styles including tent camping and RVs, while also offering cabins and yurts for those seeking additional comfort. Many equestrian sites provide electrical hookups and water access, with sanitary dump stations available for RV users.
Trail riders can access extensive horseback riding trails directly from the equestrian campground, allowing for convenient daily rides through the scenic Ouachita Mountains. The park's terrain features diverse landscapes with seasonal creeks and multiple trail options suitable for different riding experiences. Horseback riding is available at Robbers Cave Stables for visitors who don't bring their own horses. The equestrian campground typically provides more privacy than standard campgrounds, with sites spaced apart to accommodate horses and equipment. Reservations are recommended, especially during peak seasons when the park attracts many visitors for its combination of riding opportunities and natural attractions. The campground's location offers riders easy access to wooded areas and water features.
"Stayed in the Equestrian campground with access to miles and miles of trails. It was wonderful and some of the best hiking I have done in quite a while. The hikes along the lake edges were great."
"Campground was alongside the highway, however the highway divides the state park, sites up the hill are farther away from the highway."
from $32 / night
"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."

GuideNice little Park, Bathrooms are a bit dated, but clean and adequate. Lots of shady areas, and not alot of campers mid week in October. Alot of the sites have access to the water, so bring your fishing pole!
GuideDuring 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!
LegendStayed in the Equestrian campground with access to miles and miles of trails. It was wonderful and some of the best hiking I have done in quite a while. The hikes along the lake edges were great. There are horse trails id have loved to have done but it was time to move on. Of all the campgrounds, and there are many in the park, the Equestrian is the best if you want to hike.
TravelerShowers need cleaning and water pressure is very poor
LegendWe stayed at Pine Trails campground which is semi modern but no bathrooms. This is well disclosed so you must be self contained. There are ATV trailheads in the campground so it might be noisy but this weekend it was almost deserted. Tall trees, gravel semi level sites, and huge fire rings. The park itself is phenomenal…so much to do but the hiking is the best. Don’t miss the Cave Trail!
GuideWe truly enjoyed staying here! From the great hiking, to the fun buildings there’s so many opportunities to explore. Great temps too.
TravelerFirst time here, we opted to stay at a site with water/electric - Old Circle 21. Small site but we managed to get our 11 person instant tent up. Lots of hiking trails - went up to Robbers Cave (more like a hideout spot than an actual cave) enjoyed the hike. We only explored a small bit of the campgrounds. Definitely want to go back and explore some more
TravelerWe stayed at Bob Cat crossing, and it was fine for the most part. There’s a campfire ring, a table, and a double lamp pole at each site. The campground is close to a pavilion with lots of tables and grills, and some pretty clean bathrooms with hot showers. It really was beautiful out there and there were a million things to do that were close by; we really enjoyed our stay for the most part. There is firewood for sale at the office, but word to the wise, bring your own wood because they charge $6 for 4 really pathetic twigs.
The biggest problem I had was with #004. It’s on a horrible slope, and so is the picnic table, which caused our food to continually roll off our plates. There is no flat ground for a tent, so we would wake up in the night from sliding off our sleeping mats. It’s also really close to the road and the RV campground, so we would get woken up by cars and golf carts going up and down the road at night. Other than that, we had a pretty good time.
GuidePretty fun, lots of areas to do some bouldering, rappelling, rock climbing
Robbers Cave State Park offers horseback riding trails and equestrian camping facilities within the San Bois Mountains of southeastern Oklahoma. The terrain features pine forests, rocky outcroppings, and seasonal creeks, creating diverse riding environments across the park's 8,000+ acres. Winter temperatures average 30-50°F while summer months reach 80-95°F with moderate humidity.
Trout fishing access: At Robbers Cave State Park, anglers can fish directly from their campsites. "Trout fishing just steps away from camp and we had the whole campground to ourselves for the night," notes Neil T., who visited in early March.
Explore historical caves: The park's signature geological features include caves once used by outlaws. "We did hike up to see robbers cave and the terrain was beautiful," shares Matt B., though he cautions about graffiti issues on some rock surfaces.
Winter hiking: The park's landscapes remain accessible during cooler months. "Early March for this visit and definitely winter scapes...but still beautiful," reports one visitor who appreciated the off-season tranquility and natural scenery.
Varied landscapes: Wewoka Lake offers waterfront camping options with multiple recreation areas. "It has a small RV campground and some primitive campsites along waters edge," explains Melanie W., noting the lake's popularity for water activities.
Wildlife viewing: Many campers report encountering native wildlife throughout the region. "The girls rode bikes, swam at the pool and in the lake, the wife and I fished along the creek below the dam," recounts Wayne T., mentioning the large flock of geese now present at the lake.
Rental options: Visitors without their own equipment can still enjoy activities. "Kayak rentals and horse rides nearby. Plus lots of hiking," reports Neil T., noting the convenience of on-site activity rentals for day-use visitors and campers alike.
Bathroom facilities vary: Shower and restroom quality differs between campgrounds. "The structure is very old and very dated stone structure, where you might find frogs sitting on shower curtains, spiders, and lizards," Kyle H. mentions about one facility at Robbers Cave State Park.
Trail difficulty: Prepare for challenging terrain on some trails. "Some campgrounds are closer to the state park's main geological feature which are the caves that infamous bank robbers used. This state park offered what I would consider typical of Oklahoma state park trails. They are poorly marked, more challenging than advertised," warns Vanessa M.
Seasonal considerations: Facilities and activities change throughout the year. "We came to get away from our house for a few nights during the Corona virus outbreak. A lot of things were shut down and it was too early in the season to swim," reports Matt B., suggesting visitors check current operating schedules.
Campground selection: Choose sites based on privacy needs and proximity to attractions. "I will stay in the old circle campgrounds next time, they looked like they had bigger spots with more privacy than whispering pines," advises Matt B. after comparing different camping areas.
Accessibility challenges: Some trails present difficulties for those with mobility limitations. "We tried a few trails but were too hard for us. We have a daughter with cerebral palsy that we pull in a wagon and the trails were too rough for the wagon," cautions one family's experience at Little Turtle RV & Storage.
Educational opportunities: Plan for ranger-led programs when available. "The Oklahoma Park staff were very knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to answer any of my questions. Also when you get to camp they will give you a schedule of all the events that are going on throughout the week you are staying," shares Kyle H., mentioning hayrides, campfire programs and fishing classes.
Site selection: RV sites vary significantly in privacy and road noise. "Campground was alongside the highway, however the highway divides the state park, sites up the hill are farther away from the highway," notes Vanessa M., adding that "trees offer privacy and noise reduction" at some locations.
Full hookup availability: RVers seeking complete services should research specific campgrounds. "The site then on the opposite side held our own little secluded spot surrounded by pine trees down a slight slope from camper," describes Kyle H. about a full-hookup pull-through site at Robbers Cave State Park.
Seasonal closures: Check facility availability during shoulder seasons. "The pool was closed while we were there which would've made the stay better. The time of year we stopped here there was very little open," reports Ronnie D. about off-season camping at Little Turtle RV & Storage.
