"It's an okay campsite as long as you're okay with noise from nearby campers and you're not looking for a remote experience."

from $10 - $30 / night

"We stayed in the north end of the Choctaw Campground, nearest the converted cabin and heated showerhouse. All facilities (water, toilets, info) were open and working."
from $35 - $100 / night
"Hiked some of the trails here today. Good trails, fairly well marked, until the very end. No service in the woods of the trails, but T-Mobile reception through the campgrounds."
"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!"
"Would have given 5 stars, but they are limited on sites with 50amps. Showers were in rough shape as well"
"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!"

ScoutIt’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.
ScoutReally neat place it is the biggest waterfall in Oklahoma and really cool disc golf course neat hiking trails
ScoutSignage 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.
RangerVery nice park - clean and quiet. We did the kayak tour this morning which was nice. There’s also a kayak rental Kiosk down by the boat ramp through Whenever Watersports (download the app). There’s trails and also a pool. Pool closed down Aug 9, 2026 since lifeguards had to go back to school. Not having a pool was the only bummer this trip cause temps are still close to 100.
RangerClean state park. We enjoyed the trails, kayak rental at the marina. Other amenities include nice bathhouses and a pool.
ScoutThis campground is decent and close to the lake. We stayed at site 19. The site was level and was a double site. There are two power pedestals and two water hookups. The right driveway accommodated our 33' trailer and truck with no problems. The other driveway was significantly shorter but would probably be great if you're towing a boat as well. Getting into the site was difficult with a longer trailer. The road itself is pretty narrow and curved, and the driveway is fairly narrow with a tree on the passenger side so be careful backing in. The site layout is ok. While there's plenty of space available, it's not really set up with space to sit around the fire but more for picnic table sitting. There's alsovery little grass. It's almost entirely rock with concrete areas for the picnic tables. We were here Memorial Day weekend so it was very busy. That's the biggest con of this section of sites. It backs up on to one of the main roads. The road is very busy and a lot of people drive it like they're trying to qualify for the Daytona 500. If you're coming here to spend all your time on the lake and very little at your site, this site may be for you.
RangerThe sites are spacious and level, and paved, with lots of grass and trees in between. There is water and electricity at the sites. The tank dump, bathrooms and trash dumpsters are near the entrance. The whole place is well maintained. The falls are beautiful
ScoutThis loop is not suitable for large trailers. The corners are tight and it is quite steep. Mostly empty in this loop here on a Thursday. Simple vault toilets and a long walk to a garbage can. Over in the other section is a shower house which seems to be mostly how we are ranking our sites lately. Shower was ok but considering the price it gets 5 stars.
GuideI've stayed out here a lot recently. I try a different spot each time. This time it would've been preventable if someone had done their job and mowed the grass. Checked on on Thursday, I mentioned it to the host. It's Sunday, and the grass is extremely long. Lots of extra bugs because of it.
Natural Falls State Park sits at the edge of the Oklahoma Ozarks near Proctor at an elevation of approximately 900 feet. The campground features 17 tent sites and 45 RV sites alongside a disc golf course and 4.5 miles of hiking trails. Water levels at the park's 77-foot waterfall fluctuate seasonally, with spring typically offering the most dramatic water flow.
Disc golf course play: Natural Falls State Park has what might be one of the longest disc golf courses in the region, providing a challenging experience among wooded terrain. "They have a disc golf course on site, which I can only assume can be played when the campsite attendance is low," shares a visitor from Diamondhead Resort.
Hiking trail exploration: Take advantage of multiple trail options ranging from accessible paved paths to more challenging routes. "There are 4.5 miles of great hiking trails at the park. You can find some great hidden spots along the river and enjoy the quiet," notes a camper from Natural Falls State Park Campground.
Waterfall viewing: Both wheelchair-accessible and steep hiking options provide views of the park's namesake falls. "You can take your wheelchair on some of the trails and look at the Falls. There's a steep hike down to the falls for those who can walk it," explains a reviewer who visited Natural Falls.
Level camping pads: Many visitors appreciate the well-maintained camping surfaces throughout the region. "Our site was really level. We didn't need any leveling done at all," mentions someone who stayed at Lake Fort Smith State Park Campground.
Clean shower facilities: Several campgrounds maintain higher-than-average bathroom cleanliness. "Bathrooms were clean and had flush toilets and a shower," reports a camper from Natural Falls State Park.
Off-season tranquility: Visiting during non-peak periods offers a completely different experience. "We stayed in the middle of October and all the other resorts appeared to be closed for the winter," notes a reviewer from Eagle Bluff Resort, adding that they "had plenty of privacy and campsites to choose from."
Gate access restrictions: Some campgrounds limit entry and exit during certain hours. "Gates going in locked at 10:00 p.m. and open at 6:00 a.m.," reports a camper from Chicken Creek.
Site spacing variations: Privacy between campsites varies significantly between campgrounds. "The sites are a bit too close to one another," notes an Eagle Bluff Resort visitor, while another camper mentioned that "the fire ring that belongs to site 15 was actually directly behind our pad on site 16."
Weather impacts: Flash flooding can affect riverside campgrounds with little warning. "When we had a 'monsoon' the night after the start of the race that entire area was flooded," reports an Eagle Bluff Resort camper, highlighting how quickly conditions can change.
Accessible facilities: Several campgrounds accommodate mobility needs. "The road is paved and each site has cement pad. So if you have a special needs person with you they can get around with no prob," explains a visitor from Natural Falls State Park.
Playground access: Multiple facilities offer play areas, but locations vary. "We enjoyed the two playgrounds. The weather was great," shares a camper from Greenleaf State Park Campground.
Splash pad alternatives: When lake swimming isn't ideal, water play options exist. "The absolute best part of this park is the splash pad. It was the best splash pad we've been to. They had a cool slide and we had a blast," notes a Greenleaf State Park visitor.
Hookup limitations: Electric service varies significantly between campgrounds. "Only seven 50 amp spots and no sewer sites but the campground is great," advises a Chicken Creek visitor.
Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds require more setup time than others. "Some sites are a little tricky backing into with 29' trailer," warns a Chicken Creek camper.
Water connection planning: Bring extra equipment for shared hookups. "In our site we needed 50 ft of water hose and I would suggest bringing a 'y' water connector," recommends a visitor to Greenleaf State Park.
