"Sequoyah State Park on Fort Gibson Lake offers a lot and people come from out of state to visit."
"Sequoyah is very near Tahlequah, Oklahoma so there’s easy access to food and other shopping needs on a trip."
"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."
$14 / night
"This was our first stay in Oklahoma camping. I highly recommend staying at this location or the location across Fort Gibson Like(Johnson Bay)."
"My wife and I had to come to Oklahoma for work in the Muskogee area, so we packed up our little camper and hit the road."
"It is close to Hwy 51 but you really can’t tell. Gate keepers were wonderful and very helpful I saw some old oyster mushrooms all over the place possibly some lions mane 💓 I had a great time."
"We could hear the noise from the highway across the lake."
$14 / night
"This was a great little free location to camp along the river. I was able to get the spot at the end of the lot that's surrounded by water on three sides."
"Fort Gibson Lake is a flood control lake so the water levels can fluctuate."
"There is plenty to do around the area, fish, hike and explore. The people are nice and the camp host helped us out with firewood."
"Beautiful view over the lake at sunrise!"
"We did see some sites near the water that looked tricky to get into, but you’d be right by the water, so that’s the trade off, I guess. The host was friendly and helpful, dump sites easy to manage."
"We did a nearby hike named Hillside Trail and it was gorgeous. The views were stunning!! We did it early in the morning to beat the crowds and it was perfect."
"We spent our day hiking and playing in the lake nearby that we were only in the campsite at night. Hiking was amazing here, we recommend spending the morning doing this."
"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."
ScoutWe stayed at site 76. Nice quiet park with easy access and reasonable facilities. Bathrooms are a bit rough, but functional. Site included 30a receptacle, 20a receptacle, water and sewer. Water is a bit far from pedestal, bring more than 25' of hose.
Verizon Wireless Cell connection is really good. 42ms Ping, 670mb/s Down, 22.3mb/s Up
TravelerFishing , boating nice host .
ScoutIf you are looking for a nice place on the Illinois River to camp, float the river, set shuttle or just hang out, this is a very nice place. You will enjoy the privacy compared to other campgrounds in the area that have large crowds. Book early as it fill up fast and they do not offer more than one or two spaces per day. The campsites are large and open with lots of shade trees and could easily accommodate much larger groups if needed . Be careful when camping, as it is near the river and if the water gets high, you will need to move up to the higher bank.
GuideWe stayed in what appeared to be originally tent sties. 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. Showers and dump station sparse for such a large campground
TravelerFriendly helpful staff. Decent lots. Many are shaded. Several things for kids including a pool.
GuideThis small city park in a small Oklahoma town was a pleasant surprise. Had water and electric if desired or dry camping. Near the Arkansas river. Locals that drive thru the park were very friendly. Camp host were very friendly. The night time was quiet except for occasional train. We felt very safe. The park was very clean. $10 night
TravelerParked our van overnight while traveling west on I-40. It's $8/night ($4 if you're 62 or older) paid with cash in an honor box. No electric hookups, but there is a portapotty on site. The site is on the banks of the Arkansas River and fairly quiet, other than a few trucks driving over the nearby bridge or an occasional train. We were the only ones in the park.
TravelerWe spent the night in the parking lot in our Sprinter Winnebago Revel van. The view, sounds and feels of the natural dam are stunning, relaxing and cool. A bit muddy for our dog, but great view for coffee in morning. We mountain biked Devil's Racetrack earlier and relaxed here - about 20 minute drive. The sheriff drove by early Sunday morning but didn't speak with us. Some local traffic/Saturday night dates taking photos of natural dam. It stormed at night but we were on the right side of the dam in case it flash flooded. Starlink and Verizon very spotty here. Overall a really nice campsite and we were grateful we made the drive.
ScoutWe stopped here for a few nights as my husband worked in McAlester. Very spacious spots. Feels like you are out in nature. No issues with reserving or setting up. The entire state park feels a little outdated but the RV site itself was great. No extra amenities like WiFi or an office but has a clean bathroom.
