Salt Plains State Park is one of Oklahoma's most unique state parks. The barren landscape of the nearby Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge is comprised of salt leftover from an ocean that covered Oklahoma in prehistoric times, and the saltwater lake in the park, Great Salt Plains Lake, is about half as salty as the ocean.
Visitors can take their pick of activities in the park, such as swimming in Great Salt Plains Lake or trekking along bike trails. Equestrians can bring their horses to ride designated trails, and there are nature trails to enjoy while taking in the scenery. Fishing at the lake is fun for the entire family, whether in a boat or onshore. Varieties of fish such as catfish, saugeye, sand bass and hybrid striper can be found in these salty, shallow waters. You can also bring your canoe or kayak and enjoy a trip around the lake viewing the many migratory birds that pass through the area.
The selenite crystal dig area is located southwest of the lake in the Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge, and access roads are available six miles west of Jet or three miles south of Cherokee. The crystal digging area is open from April 1 to October 15 from sunrise to sunset. Located just under the surface of the salt plains, these crystals usually form into an hourglass shape. Oklahoma is the only place in the world where the hourglass-shaped selenite crystal can be found. While searching for crystals, look for some of the over 300 species of protected birds that live in and can be seen in the refuge.
Enjoy a multi-day stay at Salt Plains State Park in one of the renovated, eco-friendly cabins. Each of the six cabins has its own bed, refrigerator and stove, among other amenities.

Peaceful in early November. In a tent site but just slept in the back of my suv. Bathrooms clean and nice.
Traveler
Very nice campground. Open views of the lake. Very laid back and relaxing. Roomy. Well up kept. Good showers and restrooms. Stayed in tent on site with water and electricity. Paid $25. Would stay again.
ScoutNo cell service around the park at all. No over the air tv. Great place to bring your kids if you want them to put the phones down and spend quality time with you.
Guide
This was our first time staying in an Oklahoma State park. We had a great site (#1). Very level, near the bathhouse and cave entrance. I could only get cold water in the shower. That was invigorating! I asked at the ranger station and they told me how to work the shower handle. I went back the next day and same thing, no hot water! Other than that it’s a great campground.
Guide
We will stay here 5 nights. Shower/bathrooms are clean and near the RV spots.. The beach/access to the lake is very near the RV sites. Park very big and lots of different areas to explore. Out of the way but well worth the drive.
TravelerI love this campground because it’s close to home. The new bathrooms and showers are WONDERFUL, especially compared to what they were before. And the park itself is super clean and well kept. The tent sites have the most wonderful views and and right on the lakefront. If you need hookups though, your view - and possibly your cell signal - is completely lost. (I was using T-Mobile. It doesn’t work here hardly at all. Verizon and AT&T work best.)
Bathrooms nearby both tent and hookup sites.
My only complaint is that the stickers in the hookup sites were BAD - like full bottoms of my shoes bad and inside my campervan bad. #OUCH 😭😭😭
GuideThis park had the most amazing view, clean showers, great park, and not to far from the crystal digging. The dump station on the other hand... Just weird. The hole was huge and awkward. Thank goodness we only had to dump once. Other than that this was a perfect little spot.
GuideWe stayed at the Sand Beach Campground. It was hard to find since it's not past the main enternace it is further along 84 past the equestrian campsite and behind the rv park. But we were right on the water which was awesome. But then the winds increased from 16mph to 27 to 40 in a day and didn't die down the rest of our stay.
LegendBeautiful spot on lake. All spots look great. Easy in and out.Dump site on outside of facility.
GuideWe had a great time, and we’re super fortunate the park staff were all so friendly and helpful as we did need a little help finding our spot. The kids had a great time digging at the salt flats - don’t forget sunscreen!! Great temps all around. We flew kites, fished and relaxed.
GuideWe were there during Thanksgiving week and there were only two other campers. Clean and warm bathrooms. Level sites.
TravelerVery friendly owner. Worked with us on our arrival. We fit in a super C (Semi truck) 41ft long x 13.6 height with flat tow. Verizon cell service excellent. Quiet. Trash available. No tables. Would stay here again.
GuideWe really enjoyed this campsite. Lots of trees and grass. Since sites are on different levels, most everyone has a good view of the lake. Sites are not too close and are at an angle, which makes it more private.
GuideBig Bend is a really nice campground with most sites on or overlooking the water. We were in site A10 which was a nice site overlooking the lake with shade in evening, but sunny most of the day. Most of the sites, except a few on the water, seemed to have shade during part of the day. The picnic tables were all covered. We didn't use the bathhouse because it was so far from our site. The large lake looks like a great place for boating activities. The park has a very nice, challenging disc golf course beside the campground. We were here on a Saturday night in mid- August and the campground was only partially full.
Traveler
Me and my family love staying here. Great place to fish and lots of wildlife to see. Even a swimming area on the lake
Guide
I’d heard such great things about this place I couldn’t wait to get there. The springs were nice and that’s about it. The lakes are empty there’s a pretty foul smell I’m sure is spring related. The parks gone that my kid was really looking forward to. Just not worth the time or money. Go to red rock canyon instead.
ScoutGood quiet place to camp. Used a tent. Nice views. The bathrooms and showers are new and very nice.
ScoutBeautiful place , with one big exception. The two lakes in the area were empty , not sure why . Would have been nice to know that the lakes were dried up, ?being drained . With that being said still a fun place with lots to do! The natural springs are awesome ! Clean bathrooms.
GuideNice park but awful showers some don’t spray at all and no hot water, park has lots to offer for entertainment!
GuideWe mostly finished during this trip enjoy catching plenty of trout especially a few goldens.
ScoutI am so glad we found this spot on Dyrt. We stopped here on a loooong drive from Southern California to Missouri. Sadly we could only stay for about an hour but I would love to spend much more time here.
We were at the Sandy Beach campground. It was a Friday afternoon and there was barely anyone there. The dogs were able to play in the water and I had a nice lunch in the shade at a picnic table. It was warm but not terribly so, and it’s OK at the end of summer, so no complaints.
Definitely worth going a bit off the beaten path for.
GuideThe campsite was right on the lake,with a nice evening breeze and trees to shade from the sun. Camp host is helpful and the site clean.
GuideI love Roman Nose State Park! Have been a few times this season. The trails are all very well marked, and the view at Inspiration Point is flawless (when there's not dam construction)! There are plenty of intersections so you don't have to do a super long trek if you don't want to. I love the little springs you can see, and spent a lot of time looking for live little mussels at the one pictured. On my last trip, I saw turtles, a copperhead, a little lizard and several hawks and other birds.
This is certainly one of my more favorite spots. Stop in at Foggy Bottom Kitchen for a bite or a fried pie! I am vegetarian, and the chef was very accommodating, despite the actual menu not being too veggie friendly. Love that they go the extra mile!
ScoutWas a spacious, shady camp along the river, fished, some short hikes and visited the great salt plains state park and dug crystals that can only find there. Clean bathrooms, showers, and water and elec. Would stay there again..
ScoutTent site bath house out of commission. Wal-Mart is 40miles away, get what ever you need before you get there.
RangerStayed a night here. It was nice and quiet and lots of space in between the camp spots. Showers are a little rudimentary with no real privacy. Big stalls, but doors are only half size so anyone can look in.
GuideWe had a large area that was great for tents and hammocks. Fire pits had cooking services, more than one picnic table, good restrooms.
