Best Campgrounds near Colcord, OK

715 Reviews

Natural Falls State Park stands as the primary developed campground in the Colcord, Oklahoma area, offering multiple accommodation options including tent sites, RV spaces with hookups, and cabin rentals. Located near the Arkansas-Oklahoma border, this state park features a 77-foot waterfall as its centerpiece attraction and provides both developed camping areas and hiking trails. Additional camping opportunities exist at nearby Flint Creek, which offers more rustic tent camping experiences, and Flint Ridge Resort, which includes cabin and glamping options approximately 15 minutes from downtown Colcord.

Most campgrounds in the area are accessible year-round with varying levels of amenities. Natural Falls State Park offers concrete pads at RV sites, fire rings, picnic tables, and access to shower facilities, while smaller campgrounds like Flint Creek provide more basic amenities with portable toilets. "The park is pristine and well cared for. Friendly folks at registration," noted one visitor to Natural Falls State Park. Road conditions are generally good with paved access to major campgrounds, though some tent sites may require short walks from parking areas. Cell service remains reliable throughout most established camping areas. Weekends during summer months often see higher occupancy rates, making advance reservations advisable, especially for holiday periods.

Campers consistently praise the waterfall views and hiking opportunities at Natural Falls State Park, with trails ranging from easy paved paths to more challenging routes leading to the base of the falls. "We tent camped at this beautiful little park; waterfalls are short distance away and there are other trails that are pleasant to hike and fairly easy," reported one camper. The park's proximity to Flint Creek swimming areas provides additional recreation options during summer months. Several reviewers mention that tent camping areas offer less privacy than desired, with sites positioned relatively close together. Nighttime lighting in the campgrounds can be bright, which some campers find distracting. Wildlife viewing opportunities include occasional river otter sightings, particularly around water features throughout the region.

    Horseshoe Bend Rec Area & Campground

    Great for kids

    I was in site 61, which was awful. Right in the middle of screaming kids in the lake on 1 side, screaming kids on the playground on the other side. The site was so tight my mini Van barely fit. No place to sit at the fire pit at all. The bath house toilet wouldn't flush and was full of shit. I left and parked at the local cracker barrel! So dissapointing!

    Rocky Branch Campground

    Camp host was impossible to locate

    Camp host was impossible to locate to get a parking pass. We looked for an hour and a half. The next morning she arrived angry we didn’t “put in more effort” very rude.

    Southgate RV Park of Fayetteville

    Perfect for a break

    We stopped here for a two day break from driving and are pleased with the experience. There’s a shower house that is clean but well used, really spacious campsites and full hook ups. We took the bike trail that is super close and saw some beautiful scenery. The owner, Jerry, was super gracious and helpful and a delight to visit with. It’s no frills, but that’s what we enjoy. Would definitely stay here again.

    Hickory Creek - Beaver Lake

    Avoid spaces 33-43

    Spaces 33 through 43 I would recommend only if you have a small bumper pull that is maybe less than 21 feet long or a class A or class C that’s probably less than 25 feet long. Most of these spaces would be very difficult to get into. We stayed in space 33 without looking first and we had to back our 30 foot fifth wheel down about 100 foot hill around the corner to get into the space. Campsite did have electric and a picnic table. There was a shower building in the next campground over that was on a scale of one to five maybe a three. There were several vault toilets in the area. Nice hiking around to the marina. Was half price with our America, the beautiful senior pass. Also instructions on the Dyrt say to turn down Cow Face Road. I would stay on highway 264 to come into the campground as that road is quite a bit wider and not quite so curvy and hilly. That is the way Google maps was going to send us in the first place, but we followed the instructions on the Dyrt.

    Rocky Branch Campground

    Rocky Branch upper campground

    Was here on a weekend in August, and there was only one other group in the loop. Not much to do here unless your boating. Showers were miles away and looked pretty rough. Staff was very friendly.

    Shady Beach Camp & Canoe

    Easy to plan a trip and relax once you arrive

    Once arriving the owners/ staff were friendly and helpful. The convenience shop had everything you could possibly forget at home and plus! They have thought of everything you might need while camping. Kayaking/ Canoeing is so laid back , there was absolutely nothing to fuss over. Bonus was the float ended right at the camp site. How can that be topped!

    Will be returning hopefully for many years.

    Lee Creek Off Road Site

    Good pit stop

    Right off the main road (you can still hear the traffic, but it's not a lot of traffic)

    There's a fire pit, some paths to a hiking spot. I don't think a bus would fit but my 21ft. van was mostly a tight fit.

    A good public land spot with just enough space for two car campers
