Camping near Lake Texoma

511 Reviews

Lake Texoma straddles the Oklahoma-Texas border with multiple established campgrounds offering lakeside accommodations. Corps of Engineers properties like Burns Run West and Burns Run East provide camping options on the Oklahoma side, while Eisenhower State Park and Juniper Point serve the Texas shoreline. The recreation area contains several campgrounds with tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin rentals. Lake Texoma State Park near Kingston and Thousand Trails Lake Texoma in Gordonville are among the larger developed facilities, each featuring multiple accommodation types including tent camping, RV sites with hookups, and some cabin options.

Weather conditions vary significantly throughout the year, with camping availability highest from April through October. "It has been great. Lots of shade trees," noted one visitor about Burns Run West, highlighting an important consideration in a region where summer temperatures frequently reach 90°F or higher. Reservations are strongly recommended for weekends and holidays, particularly for waterfront sites which tend to fill quickly. Most campgrounds provide electric and water hookups, with some offering full sewer connections as well. Terrain around the lake varies from shaded wooded areas to more exposed sites with lake views. Cell service is generally reliable near developed campgrounds, though coverage may be spotty in more remote areas.

Waterfront camping represents the most sought-after experience at Lake Texoma, with numerous sites providing direct lake access. According to visitor feedback, the shaded sites at Burns Run West are particularly popular: "Burns Run West COE on Lake Texoma is one of the nicest campgrounds we've stayed at. We were in the wooded campground across the street from the lake with concrete pads, shaded sites, nice spacing between sites, and full hookups." Several campgrounds feature boat ramps and swimming areas, with fishing being a major attraction. Visitors mention clean facilities at many campgrounds, though amenities vary significantly between primitive sites and more developed areas. Campers should be prepared for possible ant issues at some lakeside locations, as mentioned in reviews for certain campgrounds.

    Eisenhower State Park Campground

    Nice park overall. Clean and secure.

    I’ve been here several times over the last few years (latest oct 2025). I like the hiking trails and the amazing beauty of the outdoors. The lake is pretty and probably fun to fish or boat on. I didn’t do this while I was there. There is a small onsite store. The roads are maintained and paved and the campsites are very nice sized with long parking spots for campers. Some tent sites have power and some even have large screen shelters. The park is monitored by state police throughout the day and night and that is good to keep the trouble away.

    Turner Falls Park

    Turner falls

    Fun area with waterfall, camping, swimming, and zip lines. You have to pay to enter the park and than you have access to everything inside including restaurants and stores. It can get real loud in here as people tend to have music playing loud ALL DAY. The trails are awesome, there is even a cave in an off the trail area back behind the bathrooms at the waterfall. Stay in the wash out area and hike up a ways and than off to your left you climb this up hill rock boulder up to the cave. I'd ask for directions. There are trails back there to that take you up the creek above the waterfall. It's a big area

    Blue River Campground

    Blue River camping

    This place is a gem and is the only natural aquifer left in Oklahoma. You have to have fishing licenses to enter. I thought that was very strange provided we only camp to camp and swim.

    The Point Campground — Chickasaw National Recreation Area

    Surprised the tent sites were empty.

     We've never been to Chickasaw National Recreation Area so I tried to reserve a site online but they were ALL booked (Memorial Day Weekend). We drove down Thursday night to try to snag a FCFS site. We drove first to Buckhorn but almost every site was full. This seems like the popular grounds for campers with kids. A bit active for our taste so we made the 30 minute drive over to The Point expecting the same. We found all of the tent sites at The Point were empty. I don't know why, the energy was much calmer and quieter. We walked around to found the best site for us. By Friday night the RV sites were all full but there were only a few other tent campers. On the topic of RV’s… The generator hours are 7AM-9AM, 7PM-9PM. We didn’t hear a single generator over our 4 days there. 

    The tent sites are walk-in, not too far from the parking spots. Each are pretty secluded and quiet until Saturday when one of the tent sites decided to play their music loud enough for half of the grounds to hear all day long. There is NO cell or internet signal other than one sweet spot by the bathrooms, so you may get a surge of texts and missed call notifications while you're doing your business. 

    The grounds are very well kept, bathrooms clean, roads clear, and minimal trash at the sites. The timed showers are solar heated and the water temp was pleasant. 

    When the sun starts setting the wildlife start to appear. 3 deer passed right by our campsite with no fear. And I watched a family of squirrels having a good day in a tree we had our tarp tied to. We’ll be going back to experience all of the touristy stuff that we missed due to last minute planning.

    The Retreat at Shady Creek

    Awesome RV resort in town

    We normally don't do RV resorts, but this one is awesome. The sites are fairly spacious, especially compared to other RV resorts. Big rig friendly with many different style spots to choose from. We always choose the fence line back in sites, and they always come with plenty of grass to walk the dogs. The fence backs up to residential, but that doesn't bother us. Even the back in sites are plenty spacious for a big rig and your tow vehicle and another vehicle. The park is very roomy and easy to navigate and park.

    The staff are always so nice and they make late check in a breeze, which we appreciate after a long, tiring day of towing. This RV resort is the only place we've ever stayed in that allows RV washing! For full-time RVers, that's pretty huge. They also have a mail room if you need to receive a package on the road.

    The resort is split up into two areas by the road, the Retreat area is more resort like and caters to short term stays, while the other half has long term stays. They both look nice and are clean and beautiful. We will continue to visit every time we pass through the area.
