Best Campgrounds near Colcord, OK

This is a great area by the river. It is a bird watcher’s paradise, and we saw a lot of people fishing. There is a boat access area as well. We did camp there in a tent for one night, but were politely told by a game warden the next day that, though it used to be open for that, it is no longer allowed. It is open to the public only during the day. There are still signs up showing tent camping, but they are apparently inaccurate. We had a great time and he welcomed us to stick around and hang out for the day, but no more camping. I was able to see multiple species of Oklahoma’s woodpeckers, some birds of prey, and many songbirds. Go during the day! Still worth it, even if you camp elsewhere.

I was surprised the RV spots weren’t in a gated area as was my experience with other Loves RV spots. It was a little noisy being right off the interstate. Ran my generator at night no issue. Slept well and unbothered. Use of the communal dump is included. Shower inside Loves discounted from $18 to $10 but you’ll need to book inside with the cashier to use the discount as opposed to checking in for the shower on your phone.

Small and only 5 spots, we were the only spot taken all night. Somewhat pricey for what they offer but it’s easy to access.

I live east of the dam and ofter go there to walk. It is a nice park but small. It is well maintained and clean. I think the information needs to be updated. All the flood damage is fixed. All in all it's a nice park. Not sure about bathrooms and showers but the outside is very clean. The river is dangerous but pretty to look at. I understand there is great fishing there. You can go swimming on the southwest side of the dam and up a little ways. There is a bar/restaurant across the river but I've never been inside.

I usually like a more secluded area to camp but when I’m camping alone I love devils den, it’s super safe, gorgeous, plenty of room, great hiking trails!

This campground was so beautiful and easily accessible! I loved the proximity to town and easy access to the Coler mountain bike trails, walking trails, and super cool cafe in the middle of the woods. The restrooms, fire pits, and tent platforms were well kept and clean. Defiantly the nicest restrooms I have ever experienced at a campground! Ben, the campground manager, was also super friendly and knowable about the Coler and anything in the Bentonville area. I really appreciated all of his help!

Devil's Den is a gorgeous parked tucked in the mountains of Arkansas.  The primary campground for RVs is one of the better campgrounds I have seen.  The facilities and amenities have been great.  The sites are generally spacious.  If you want the best experience - grab one of the sites along the ridge (83, 85, 87) - these have a great view off the back and offer incredible space.  There are several hiking trails within the park and other activities during warmer months (i.e. pool).  If you have a large rig - make sure to take the West Fork exit off I-49 vs. the south exit (Winslow).  There's no cell service whatsoever but Wifi (paid) is offered by the park.  Make sure to stock up on supplies beforehand - there are not many options within that area as far as food and services.

We stayed in the north end of the Choctaw Campground, nearest the converted cabin and heated showerhouse. All facilities (water, toilets, info) were open and working. On arrival we booked a spot and had no issues with internet to do so. Rangers came through daily, but no sign of camp host over the Thanksgiving weekend. We were the only tent visitors until our last night when two additional campers arrived. The trails were great aside from some glass that appeared to wash in a long the lower nature trail, which was a concern for our dog so we went to take the fitness trail back. The sunset view from south of the lodge was worth the wait. Nature Center staff were more helpful than the info center, on top of a super educational and fun tour they held even in the chilly wind. Cons - There seemed to be less parking than spots, waterside spots definitely had signs of being washed out this season around the picnic tables, and overall it was hard to spot some numbers on spots. Spots were mostly crowded, would not come to this site in a peak season.

Yes people need to PICK UP THEIR TRASH!   WE WERE TAUGHT THAT IN KINDERGARTEN?  

Otherwise it's beautiful. I don't stay at the waterfall. That's for kids. I go upstream it's deeper, I'm scouting it for future diving trips. 

I'll update as soon as I get in the water with my gear. But I'll def need a 7mm probly with a  Shorty on top since I don't have a dry suit. But this water is CLEAR. amd that's what's impressive. Find clear water in oklahoma isnt easy especially if your a diver. 

The trash thing is real, that's why I always take extra trash bags and do good. 

Maybe if your going, you can too;)

Pretty remote. Quiet. Tick dog tried to get through the tick gate but failed unfortunately. No table. Burn ban, so no fires. No ticks. Hard to get to in the dark, but nice scenery.

Absolutely beautiful from the Senic Overlook!! The trails are easy to traverse, and the nature here is breathtaking!!

Easy to get to from I-40. Arrived late on a Thursday night and was the only person there. A little road noise off in the distance but the waterfall all but drowned it out.

We love to camp here . Although it is usually pretty full so if it's peace and quiet you are looking for this might not be the place for you mainly on the holidays. And I don't like the fact that they raised the price to $15 night primitive sites. It was free just couple yrs ago. Kids love to swim and float when they aren't fishing.

Flat Sites, Clean, Nice Amenities, Nice Staff, Little Exposed in heat to Sun. Best shades sites rented in advance. (Site 24-27)

The scenery here is really beautiful, Geometry Dash Breeze but it is so deserted that it is a bit scary at night.

Sewage from wrongfully fixed drainage pipes ( no junction box or lateral lines installed ) flowed for park onto neighbors property.  Owners just trying to cover it up . Glad I'm not there neighbors.
