1 campground with availability next weekend
Cabin rentals around Checotah provide access to Lake Eufaula with several established options including Checotah-Lake Eufaula KOA and Belle Starr Marina. Most cabins feature electric hookups, beds, and basic furnishings, though amenities vary significantly between locations. The KOA properties typically offer more modern facilities with electricity, running water, and proximity to showers and restrooms. Cabins at Greenleaf State Park include picnic tables and fire rings for outdoor meals. Interior furnishings range from basic to comfortable depending on the property. "The cabin appeared that the inside had not been cleaned either, sticky stuff on the stove, sink and fridge. The shower was a joke. There were extension cords running through a sliding window which left a half inch gap just open to the outside."
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Sequoyah State Park offers marina cabins with lake access, while Robbers Cave State Park provides cabin accommodations alongside their camping areas. Most properties require advance reservations, especially during summer months when lakeside cabins fill quickly. Pet policies vary by location—some cabins charge a deposit fee for pets while others prohibit them entirely. A review mentioned: "I asked if dogs were allowed, so I had to call back to make sure cause I can't leave my fur babies. When I called it was a young girl that answered and said yes dogs were allowed." Winter availability is limited to select properties like Robbers Cave State Park and certain KOA locations that remain open year-round.
Visitors should confirm what supplies are included before arrival. Many cabins provide beds without linens or pillows, requiring guests to bring their own bedding and towels. As one camper wrote, "I asked what I would need to bring and a young girl explained just cooking pot and pans." Kitchen facilities range from none to basic refrigerators and stovetops, with some cabins offering only outdoor cooking options via fire rings or grills. Most cabin areas have access to drinking water, though interior plumbing varies widely. Small camp stores operate at Greenleaf State Park, Sequoyah State Park, and the KOA locations, offering basic provisions, firewood, and ice. For more substantial grocery needs, Checotah has stores within reasonable driving distance of most cabin locations.
"There were a couple sets of restrooms. The ones closest to us had pay showers. However, if we walked a little farther we could find free showers."
"Close clean restrooms makes this park ideal for family. When we pulled in there were signs they were voted one of Oklahoma's best parks for families and we could see why."
"We walked in and they were very accommodating even though they were very busy. There is a large store with wood, ice, etc. The attached restrooms are clean and well maintained."
"During the extreme winter weather in Oklahoma in February 2021, I ducked into the KOA Lake Eufaula to wait out the storm."
"Scenery was great, a canopy of trees, very large spots for any size camper/rv/bus... water, electric, sewer, all available, fire pits, clean restrooms for showering."
"We were in site 13, closest to the highway along with two cabins and the playground. Extremely noisy so if traffic bothers you request a site towards the back. Lots of trees."
"Water spigots are shared. 75’ hose should get you by. The Lake has a sand beach all the way around. Eastern loop is very quiet and well spaced."
"Lots of activities for the kids such as pool, lake inflatables, putt-putt, indoor guided crafts, sand sifting, fire pits, and playground."
"This park offers a lot of amenities from mini golf, swimming and fishing (guide service available). I was here in off season still plenty to do."
"canoe & bike rentals, horseback tours, and lots more extras. They have rustic tent sites, full RV, and small cabins to rent. We stayed in the tent sites, which had great shade and decent privacy."
"We booked a Deep Ford campsite online but were disappointed when we arrived. The sites were really close together with almost no privacy."

"Paid 12 bucks for spot e07 I think on the end with a spectacular view of the lake."

"Sequoyah State Park located just 8 miles from Wagoner Oklahoma has something for everyone."
"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!"
"Campsites are pretty close together though so we didn’t have the space or privacy we like but I know we will go back."
"This place has everything, movie theater, horse riding, a train that goes around the park, golf carts, tons of activities for the entire family... Swiming pool and all..."
"Very nice great security coded gate entrance. Mostly cement pad level. Staff very friendly and helpful. Full utilities clean laundry shower facilities."
"Lots of shade, close to water. There are no working bathrooms, only 2 porta-potties that need to be cleaned out. They did allow car camping along with the tents and RVs."
GuideI only have one good thing to say about this place. The girl that checked us in was very nice. The pictures are extremely deceiving from the KOA website. This property needs a ton of work. I struggled to even walk my dogs around. I wanted to do laundry but they only had one working washing machine and it stunk and half the dryers didn't work. I would not recommend this KOA to anyone.
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.
LegendNice quiet campground. Pretty rustic and hasn’t been updated in awhile. Right across from floating the River. Definitely over priced for quality of park. Can get pretty loud and crazy during peak season with drunk or high people coming back from floating the River. Is tucked between two hills that protect you from wind and weather. Off season is amazing as it’s quiet with very few people there. I stay here a lot for work and it works well.
Scout14$ for the night no hookups but not that busy. Portable toilet’s stunk, Place shoulda been free
ScoutVery disappointed in Marval Resort. The manager is very unprofessional. We have been going there since 2019 for a family reunion. This year was 59th reunion. I get a phone call on July 7, 2025 and was told we would not be welcomed back and when I asked why the manager could not tell me why. All that she said was several reasons. If it was such a big issue, she should have come to me or someone else and addressed the issue face to face instead of waiting until we left. My cousin had called multiply times to try and get this worked out and she would never speak or call back. When no response to phone calls she was emailed and finally responded to an email. The manager didn’t even have the decency for the closing signature on the email. It’s a shame that Marval Resort has someone like this running their resort. Very poor communication. Instead of coming to my camp spot talking to me about some cars parked on the grass and gravel in front of our camp spot out of the way of others she calls me in the middle of a big gathering and tells me they need to be moved because it rained that morning and the grass was wet. No, the grassy lawn area was dry in the heat of the afternoon day. There are so many staff members driving around on their golf carts and not a word was said. She was on her golf cart right by us and could not come face to face and talk about the issue. Now, that’s pretty unprofessional. We have 96 and 86 year old aunts and some others with walking issues. That’s why cars were there. Family was coming from their cabins or campers to the central area for family gathering. And as far as the pavilion parking that we paid money to rent. Again, for some elders and a few trucks hauling fish fry supplies. You booked a band that was playing on the stage right by the pavilion(that we paid for) and people could not communicate very well due to loud music. This also happened last year as well. So, you the manager don’t know who all the cars belong to. They could have been the bands or other guest not in our family. We have a large group that stayed there for 6 years in campers or cabins and spent lots of money there. There is a lot of issues the manager needs to take care of and get off her high horse. I thought this place is supposed to be family oriented. I will miss seeing Wayne(maintenance gentleman) there with his smiling face. He is such a friendly man. And one more thing, always talking about all the improvements they’re working on or going to do. It’s been the same for 6 years now.
LegendOverall a nice layout for a KOA campground. Everything is clean, however it's showing its age. The little TLC would go a long way and turning this into a five-star campground.
