ScoutI was tired, pulled in with my camper…and was pleasantly surprised. Nice new facility, and they helped me get settled in a good pull through. Good folks. I’m glad I came here.
GuideNot too far from Highway 75 and the Choctaw Resort. Parking for registration is located right next to the office. All the park staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The road from the highway to the park is easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate. No road noise- very quiet.
First things first - be prepared for a longer-than-usual registration process. I've never had a registration process require as much information, or take as long as this one did. You will need the driver's license of every person in your party - adults and teenagers. They will scan and retain each of them. You will need to provide actual copies of the insurance policies for both your RV and your tow (or Toad) vehicle, along with the license plate numbers for all vehicles. If you are using a Good Sam's discount, make sure that you have the membership number and expiration date.
Most check-in procedures at parks take a couple of minutes, but not here. Thank goodness we were the only ones checking in, or it would have been a lengthy ordeal. So, be prepared in advance and have all of this with you to speed up the process. At first, I couldn't figure out why they required all of this information, then it dawned on me- this is predominantly a park for full-time residents, and that would be the information they'd require of people living there.
It's off the beaten path, so you're not going to get that many travelers. As we walked through the park, I noticed that close to 100% of the rigs are full-timers. In my experience, most parks that cater to full-timers are kind of sketchy and don't really appeal to travelers - not this one. This is labeled as a resort, and it probably is the nicest RV park that we've ever visited that is predominantly full-timers.
Please don't have any reservations about staying here, as you will feel welcome. We were assigned to pull-through site number 40. All the sites are concrete and appear level. Power, Water, and Sewer were all conveniently located, and the power supply had no issues at all. We use a power management system, and all electrical parameters were spot on during our stay. Water pressure was very good, and the in-ground sewer connection was conveniently located.
Bathrooms, Showers, and Laundry are all located on the back side of the office building and are in great shape with a keyed entry. There is great Wi-Fi in the park with repeaters near all the sites. We had AT&T 5G with 2 bars. Starlink reception was not an issue due to no large trees. Their website lists all of the amenities, and I've included photos of the park. Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay. This park deserves its high rating, and I would not hesitate to recommend it- enjoy!

ScoutIt is private property. There is not a way down to the lake. It’s fenced off and security cameras on the grounds.
ScoutIt is private property. It is fenced off and no way to the lake. Also, security cameras on the grounds.
LegendReally beautiful scenery; the sites are pretty well spaced with the upper loop being better for larger RVs and the lower loop more for tent and car camping. Sites are extremely well maintained and the campground is very peaceful. We stayed in 42 which only had one neighbor but our fav site was 54. It is farther out than Buckhorn but closer proximity to a wal mart and just perfect for us. Buckhorn is busier.

Swimming spots: Look for designated swimming areas with gradual entry points. One visitor to Eisenhower State Park Campground shared, "Swimming area and trails along the cliffs are exquisite. Great wifi as well."
Food storage: Protect supplies from wildlife, especially in primitive camping areas. A camper warned, "The raccoons can be aggressive, keep your food put up in your car or a cooler and throw away your trash nightly unless you want to pick it up in pieces the next day."
Leveling challenges: Prepare for uneven terrain at many campgrounds. One RVer at Buckhorn Campground cautioned, "Just beware if you are camping in an RV, the site is VERY unlevel! We were in a pop up camper and had one tire up off the ground at least 6 inches with our Baleveler."
Hookup variations: Choctaw RV Park offers complete amenities for larger vehicles. A visitor noted, "Beautiful clean park with great facilities and amenities. Large concrete pads and shuttle to the casino. Perfect place to stop for a night or a week."
