      COE Beaver Lake Prairie Creek Campground

      It’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.

      The Creeks Golf & RV Resort

      Disappointing

      Tightly packed parking pads for RVs, damaged/broken, hook ups, dirty campsites, not much shade, dilapidated shower house. Lots of road noise and bright lighting at night. I will admit that I am not a big fan of RV parks, but some are quite nice, this one is not.

      COE Beaver Lake Prairie Creek Campground

      Signage

      Signage 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.

      Dam Site Campground at Fort Gibson

      Army Corp Engineer Camp Ground. It's not free and it's temporary closed

      Dam Site Closure- The west side of Dam Site(including the Dam Site North boat ramp) will be closed beginning May 17, 2026 for the bridge deck replacement across the Fort Gibson dam. Highway 251A will be gated just past the Overlook entrance road. Access will be restricted to construction and Corps personnel only. Area will be closed for a minimum of 2 1/2 years. Dam Site East fishing wall and the Overlook areas will remain open.

      I was planning to go to this site. The Dyrt says it's free dispersed camping and that's incorrect. It's an Army Corps Engineer camp ground, so there will be fees.

      Lookout Tower Road

      Great nook

      Great road and nice secluded place. Not very level and acorns attacked us because of a storm but…

      Starlink precluded by trees.

      Nice place though for our journey!

      Cabin Diesel Service & RV Park

      Wide open

      It is in a big open area behind repair business. You can see highway traffic but it’s not loud. Enjoyed sitting outside after a long day of traveling and enjoying the grass fields around us. Full hookups - no bathhouse and inexpensive. There’s also a train that’s interment but didn’t bother me. Would come back again if passing thru the area

    Guide to Colcord

    Natural Falls State Park offers diverse camping options in the Ozark Highlands, located at 1,100 feet elevation near the Oklahoma-Arkansas border. The area receives approximately 44 inches of annual rainfall, creating lush vegetation and year-round water features. Camping conditions vary seasonally with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F while winter nights can drop below freezing.

    What to Do

    Disc golf course: Natural Falls State Park features an 18-hole disc golf course that winds through the wooded landscape. Visitors describe it as "probably the longest disc golf course I've ever seen" and note that the course provides a full day of activity for enthusiasts.

    Waterfall viewing options: While the park's main 77-foot waterfall is accessible via steep trails, visitors with mobility concerns have alternatives. As one camper notes, "You can take your wheelchair on some of the trails and look at the Falls. There's a sidewalk that takes you to an overlook at the top" for those who can't manage the descent.

    Swimming at Flint Creek: Located near Natural Falls, Flint Creek offers excellent swimming options with varied depths. "They have a nice, Expansive swimming and wading area all along the creek. There are deep pools and shallow wading areas to fit all ages and abilities," reports one visitor who appreciated the range of water recreation options.

    What Campers Like

    Private camping spots: At Natural Falls State Park Campground, campers appreciate the site layout and privacy. "Our site was really private on the outside loop. Loved it," shares one reviewer who valued the seclusion within this popular park.

    River access and sounds: Spavinaw State Park provides direct creek access with ambient water sounds. One camper notes, "It is beautiful and you can hear the water moving constantly," creating a natural sound backdrop throughout your stay.

    Level camping pads: Concrete pads at Natural Falls make for hassle-free setup. "Great spots with really level pads set in a beautifully treed park," reports a camper who found the site preparation excellent for quick and easy camp establishment.

    What You Should Know

    Bathroom limitations: While Natural Falls offers full facilities, Flint Creek's restroom options are basic. "The bathrooms are only port-a-johns but they work," notes one visitor, suggesting campers should adjust expectations accordingly when choosing between these locations.

    Day use fees: Natural Falls requires an entrance fee even if you're just visiting for the day. "It cost $5 to enter the park, with a few sites," explains one reviewer, so factor this cost into your budget when planning short visits.

    Seasonal closures: Some parks in the region close during winter months. Spavinaw State Park operates seasonally with one reviewer noting "Park is for day use only 11/4/20-4/1/21," so confirm operational status before planning off-season trips.

    Tips for Camping with Families

    Accessibility options: Lake Wedington offers facilities suitable for visitors with different mobility needs. "Some handicap accessible areas. Improvements and upgrades have been and are being made," notes one camper, making this a good choice for multi-generational family camping.

    Playground access: Natural Falls provides recreation areas specifically designed for children. "Our kids loved the two playgrounds," shares a family camper, adding value for parents seeking built amenities to complement natural exploration.

    Kid-friendly water areas: When camping with children, consider water depth variations. "The river was high when we went and the water coming over the spillway was beautiful," reports a Spavinaw State Park visitor, while also noting "kids love to swim and float when they aren't fishing" in the calmer sections.

    Tips from RVers

    Site sizing considerations: Choose sites based on your specific RV requirements. Some campgrounds offer limited space between units, with an Eagle Bluff Resort camper noting "the slots are only 30 feet wide, which puts your outside dining & Family area directly next to the next camper."

    Hook-up variations: RV sites offer different utility options throughout the region. At Rustic Ridge, full hookups include water, electric (with both 30 and 50 amp service), and sewer connections, providing complete self-contained camping options.

    Paved access roads: The road system at several campgrounds accommodates larger vehicles. "The road is paved and each site has cement pad," notes a Natural Falls visitor, making navigation easier for those with larger RVs or trailers.
