"Greenleaf State Park is a gem in eastern Oklahoma. This state park offers fishing, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, and a splash pad to cool off at!"
"One really great thing about the summer is that a pair of Osprey have begun nesting across highway 10! So neat to see the pair nesting in Oklahoma.
The hiking trails need some maintenance."
"Its right on the side of the road, next to Grand Lake. Being on the lake, it made sense that most of the campers were there to play on the water. The campground is really three campgrounds."
"Good access to Lake Tenkiller and most of the sites here have some sort of Lake view. A little highway noise can be heard from the Chickasaw loop, but it is not too bad."
$23 - $50 / night
"Located in the foothills of the Ozarks in eastern Oklahoma on crystal clear Tenkiller Lake, a COE project from the mid 1950’s on the Illinois River. We stayed on site 18 which is gravel W/E (50A)."
"Lots of room to roam, Plenty of access to the water for boats (multiple ramps) or wading/swimming. Plenty of sites to choose from some shaded, some by the water. A few full hookups but not many."
$10 - $50 / night
"I stayed in spot 13 near the boat ramp. Still very quiet! Only noise came from an elderly mans lil yippie dog 😡 which never shut up and shit wherever it felt!"
"On peninsula over looking lake and marina. No water, but electric here. Quiet, out of the way from others. Park has multiple swimming opportunities. We did not try bathhouse."
$10 - $50 / night
"Store outside gate. Gates going in locked at 10:00 p.m. and open at 6:00 a.m."
"We had a great spot located 200 yards from the lake. Also had the boat dock just on the other side of us. Great place to stay, friendly staff!"
"This place has everything, movie theater, horse riding, a train that goes around the park, golf carts, tons of activities for the entire family... Swiming pool and all..."
"This was our first camping trip in Oklahoma and we stayed in the shady grove rv campground. There are a few sections for Rvs and I think this is one of the nicer ones."
"We had tree line behind us and shade for some parts of the day. We don’t have a boat but we have kayaks and we went and put in on the north side of the lake and went out to goat island."
$23 - $50 / night
"Staryhorn Park is a gym on Lake Tenkiller. The park is clean and well maintained, with great views of the surrounding hills and sparkling lake waters."
"This park has a swimming hole, playground, canoeing, boat ramps, 2 bath houses, gorgeous lake views, plenty tent, and RV lots. $18-$20 per night, depending on your site for tents. $20-50 for RV depending"
"They also have normal cabin rental and tiny home rentals that were perfectly positioned around campground and fishing pond. My only complaint would be that the sites are really compact."
"Also hiking trails. Also some tent sites. There is a whole new section for Class A and large 5th wheel campers now."
$14 / night
"It's a beautiful spot surrounded by big rocks. The only complaint is the restrooms are quite dirty, and the shower doesn't have cold water."
"Have stayed here multiple times in the past and it’s exactly as stated - a lake campsite. The view is beautiful over one of the prettiest lakes in the region."
LegendVery large sites. Large park with boat ramp, sites you can pull your boat up to. Wildlife all around. Many different types of sites.
ScoutIt had a smell to it the reservation making was not understood so we were made to leave after being there all day in the rain we really just found a spot and set up thinking they'd come get the money there's also free camping I believe over in the next section yes there segregated lol from poor to rich folk go figure the guy who took care of the place was super kind explained things to me and kept things cool while I did what I had to do to leave I like the place over all stand up guy
ScoutAmazing place! Cleaning bathrooms, beautiful views!
ScoutVery disappointed in Marval Resort. The manager is very unprofessional. We have been going there since 2019 for a family reunion. This year was 59th reunion. I get a phone call on July 7, 2025 and was told we would not be welcomed back and when I asked why the manager could not tell me why. All that she said was several reasons. If it was such a big issue, she should have come to me or someone else and addressed the issue face to face instead of waiting until we left. My cousin had called multiply times to try and get this worked out and she would never speak or call back. When no response to phone calls she was emailed and finally responded to an email. The manager didn’t even have the decency for the closing signature on the email. It’s a shame that Marval Resort has someone like this running their resort. Very poor communication. Instead of coming to my camp spot talking to me about some cars parked on the grass and gravel in front of our camp spot out of the way of others she calls me in the middle of a big gathering and tells me they need to be moved because it rained that morning and the grass was wet. No, the grassy lawn area was dry in the heat of the afternoon day. There are so many staff members driving around on their golf carts and not a word was said. She was on her golf cart right by us and could not come face to face and talk about the issue. Now, that’s pretty unprofessional. We have 96 and 86 year old aunts and some others with walking issues. That’s why cars were there. Family was coming from their cabins or campers to the central area for family gathering. And as far as the pavilion parking that we paid money to rent. Again, for some elders and a few trucks hauling fish fry supplies. You booked a band that was playing on the stage right by the pavilion(that we paid for) and people could not communicate very well due to loud music. This also happened last year as well. So, you the manager don’t know who all the cars belong to. They could have been the bands or other guest not in our family. We have a large group that stayed there for 6 years in campers or cabins and spent lots of money there. There is a lot of issues the manager needs to take care of and get off her high horse. I thought this place is supposed to be family oriented. I will miss seeing Wayne(maintenance gentleman) there with his smiling face. He is such a friendly man. And one more thing, always talking about all the improvements they’re working on or going to do. It’s been the same for 6 years now.
RangerOverall a nice layout for a KOA campground. Everything is clean, however it's showing its age. The little TLC would go a long way and turning this into a five-star campground.
Please see attached pictures and video for more details.
TravelerRight 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
TravelerFacilities a little outdated but functional. Quite, clay bottom lake good to chill by and get some sleep.
LegendLove this campground so much. Great spots with really level pads set in a beautifully treed park. Surrounded by disc golf, waterfalls, and hiking. Would totally come back over and over. Our site was really private on the outside loop. Loved it.
GuideLoved the falls, big campsites, hiking trails and 18 hole disc golf
