Natural Falls State Park Campground in Colcord houses upscale glamping yurts amidst 77-foot waterfall views and hiking trails. The park includes five well-appointed yurts providing an elevated outdoor experience with modern comforts while maintaining connection to nature. Each glamping accommodation includes comfortable beds, electricity, and climate control, allowing guests to enjoy the surroundings without sacrificing comfort. Flint Ridge Resort also offers glamping options along the Illinois River, providing water-based activities with luxurious accommodations. The eco-friendly glamping units at both locations feature picnic tables and fire rings for outdoor enjoyment while maintaining a reduced environmental footprint.

The surrounding area provides exceptional glamping experiences with activities centered around natural attractions. Hiking enthusiasts can explore 4.5 miles of trails leading to the spectacular waterfall, with both accessible viewing platforms and more challenging routes to the waterfall base. Eagle Bluff Resort offers additional glamping with river access, allowing for kayaking and floating adventures during the warm season from April through October. Disc golf enthusiasts will appreciate Natural Falls' extensive course, complemented by volleyball courts and horseshoe pits for family entertainment. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with one visitor noting, "Last time I went there we saw a wild river otter swimming, there is so much wildlife out there and it's just gorgeous, absolutely stunning and worth visiting." Glamping accommodations typically book quickly during summer months, with shoulder seasons offering more availability.

"I’ll start my review by saying I’ve never pitched my tent in this park but have visited many times. They added tent sites in 2019- they appear to be primitive and include a fire ring."

"There is a marina on site that allows you to rent various boats, a pleasant lakeside golf course, a horse stable to take a nice trail ride and that is all before you get to the early state park resort!"
"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."
"The snack hut was closed. Wasnt told of any trails rentals or much of anything. It was camping"
"There is a general store on site that also sells food and ice cream."
"Some sites have electric and water some just electric. Great for walking, riding bikes. And walking the dog."

ScoutIt’s great once you find the site that isn’t too narrow, steep or pavement broken. It’s like Cinderella’s slipper. We did find the perfect fit and enjoyed our stay. It’s quiet, wooded and has been pretty empty all week.
ScoutReally neat place it is the biggest waterfall in Oklahoma and really cool disc golf course neat hiking trails
ScoutSignage is poor and difficult to find your site. They are not kidding about tight quarters…bigger rigs will have to back up hilly and crooked road.
ScoutThis campground is decent and close to the lake. We stayed at site 19. The site was level and was a double site. There are two power pedestals and two water hookups. The right driveway accommodated our 33' trailer and truck with no problems. The other driveway was significantly shorter but would probably be great if you're towing a boat as well. Getting into the site was difficult with a longer trailer. The road itself is pretty narrow and curved, and the driveway is fairly narrow with a tree on the passenger side so be careful backing in. The site layout is ok. While there's plenty of space available, it's not really set up with space to sit around the fire but more for picnic table sitting. There's alsovery little grass. It's almost entirely rock with concrete areas for the picnic tables. We were here Memorial Day weekend so it was very busy. That's the biggest con of this section of sites. It backs up on to one of the main roads. The road is very busy and a lot of people drive it like they're trying to qualify for the Daytona 500. If you're coming here to spend all your time on the lake and very little at your site, this site may be for you.
RangerThe sites are spacious and level, and paved, with lots of grass and trees in between. There is water and electricity at the sites. The tank dump, bathrooms and trash dumpsters are near the entrance. The whole place is well maintained. The falls are beautiful
ScoutThis loop is not suitable for large trailers. The corners are tight and it is quite steep. Mostly empty in this loop here on a Thursday. Simple vault toilets and a long walk to a garbage can. Over in the other section is a shower house which seems to be mostly how we are ranking our sites lately. Shower was ok but considering the price it gets 5 stars.
GuideI've stayed out here a lot recently. I try a different spot each time. This time it would've been preventable if someone had done their job and mowed the grass. Checked on on Thursday, I mentioned it to the host. It's Sunday, and the grass is extremely long. Lots of extra bugs because of it.
GuideI liked this KOA campground. I stayed in the tent area which had a nh e grassy pad plus electric and water. There were issues though with noise from a nearby busy highway. The bathroom was nice and had shower stalls
GuideThis was a great stay with great spots for both smaller RV, tents & travel trailers. I loved this spot plus it was free. There are restrooms but no showers. First come first serve since there is no office or website to book! There was not many people when we went March-April and weather was nice. I also got to use my generator.

Disc golf course exploration: Natural Falls State Park Campground features an extensive 18-hole disc golf course winding through wooded areas. As one reviewer noted, "Love this campground so much. Great spots with really level pads set in a beautifully treed park. Surrounded by disc golf, waterfalls, and hiking" (Jennifer O., Natural Falls State Park Campground).
River floating adventures: Enjoy floating trips on the Illinois River from April through October. A visitor to Eagle Bluff Resort shared, "If you go to float, get there early. All rafts/canoes have to be in by a certain time in the evening, and you don't want to be rushed. If you're doing the 12 mile, you keep your raft/canoe over night." Several sandbars along the route offer opportunities to swim or relax.
Accessible waterfall viewing: Natural Falls State Park offers accessible viewing platforms for those with mobility concerns. "You can take your wheelchair on some of the trails and look at the Falls. There's a steep hike down to the falls for those who can walk it" (Cheryl T., Natural Falls State Park Campground).

Privacy options: Some campgrounds offer secluded sites away from crowds. "Our site was really private on the outside loop. Loved it" (Jennifer O., Natural Falls State Park Campground).
Wildlife encounters: The area hosts diverse wildlife viewing opportunities. "Deer roaming around throughout. Fantastic price for lakeside camping" (Mary D., Horseshoe Bend Rec Area & Campground).
Water proximity: Many sites offer immediate water access. "Flint Ridge camping area has full hookups, nice concrete pads & concrete picnic tables. Limited amount of shade. Water access is a short distance away" (Christine N., Sequoyah State Park).
