Nice campground
Really clean bathrooms. Spots are small and tight so bigger rigs I’d be cautious. Really nice lake views.

Little Turtle RV & Storage
Nice, quiet, and with easy access to highway!
During the past five years, we've stayed at this park at least six times. It's a good overnight stopping point as we head back to Texas, with easy access from the highway and a nice dog park. If you travel with pets, then you know why that's important.
All the park staff we have ever dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The road from the highway to the park is easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate. Even though it's close to the highway, you really won't hear much traffic noise, especially if you're at the rear of the park away from the roadway.
We were assigned to pull-through site number E1 with a concrete pad that is level from side to side. Power, Water, and Sewer were all conveniently located, and the power supply had no issues at all. We use a power management system, and all electrical parameters were spot on during our stay. Water pressure was very good, and the in-ground sewer connection was conveniently located.
NOTE: We always request space E1 because it is level, has a nice-sized shade tree that blocks the afternoon sun, and is close to the bathrooms, showers, pool, and laundry room. I've included several aerial photos of the park, and you will see that it is pretty full. Probably 90% of those staying here are full-time or seasonal. Row E is usually left open for travelers, so you might want to request a site on that row, as they are pretty much level. Even though the park has mostly full-time residents, it is nice, quiet, and well maintained. If it wasn't, we wouldn't continually stay here.
The bathrooms, showers, laundry room, and pool area are all located in one location at the front of Row E and are clean and well maintained with secure door and gate codes. Wi-Fi, Satellite, Cable, and OTA: We were able to get AT&T 5G with 3 bars. AT&T achieved 567 Mbps down and 6.43 Mbps up. Satellite reception should not be an issue at most sites, and if you do need totally clear access for satellite reception, there are sites available with no trees. We were able to get 30 OTA stations available, and they all had great reception with clear HD pictures. Cable and Wi-Fi were not available.
Dog Park: They have a very nice fenced-in park that is always in great condition. The park is divided for big and small dogs, and the large-dog area is very large with lots of tree coverage. They also provide doggie bags and a trash can.
Amenities: Lots of items are listed on their website, and you are only a few miles from town, where you can find plenty of stores and restaurants. Also, this is a Good Sam Park, so if you're a member, you'll get a discount if you let them know. Summary: A great place for an overnight stay, and I would not hesitate to recommend it- enjoy your stay!

Hawthorn Bluff
Quiet spot with clean showers, $16 well spent
For $16 we got a quiet, shaded spot by the lake with clean showers. Since we only carry a camp shower and privacy is a bit hard to come by in this part of the country, it was a worthwhile investment.

No personnel in the evening or after dark.
This place looks nice but beware. Vagrants and random folks drinking just pulled up in empty camp spot next to us. Vulgar language and loud music. There wasn’t anyone around to help so we left. A guy at boat ramp told us that there are only maintenance personnel and no law enforcement / ranger. Basically everyone just does their own thing. Will not go back.

Nice campground but noise issues
I liked this KOA campground. I stayed in the tent area which had a nh e grassy pad plus electric and water. There were issues though with noise from a nearby busy highway. The bathroom was nice and had shower stalls

Nice place to camp.
This is a nice place to camp. It got a little crowded on the weekend but the weather is good so, have to expect that. Bathrooms are close by and were very clean and well maintained. They have 2 large dumpsters located at each end of the camp and the campground was cleaner than most I have been in. No view of the lake from my site but when you walk up the hill to the bathrooms you have a nice view. Stayed 3 nights on my way to Colorado.

Marval Camping Resort
Horrible Manager
Very 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.

Guide to Leonard
Glamping opportunities near Leonard, Oklahoma include options ranging from rustic tent sites to full-service cabins within 40 miles of town. The region sits at the edge of the Ozark foothills with an average summer high of 93°F and winter low of 28°F. Water levels at Fort Gibson Lake and Lake Eufaula fluctuate seasonally, affecting shoreline access at several campgrounds.
What to do
Seasonal events and festivals: Sequoyah State Park offers special weekend activities throughout the year. "In October, they do trick or treating every weekend - which is fun!" notes a visitor from Sequoyah State Park.
Swimming and cooling off: Greenleaf State Park Campground maintains a modern splash pad popular with families. "The absolute best part of this park is the splash pad. It was the best splash pad we've been too. They had a cool slide and we had a blast," reports Richard.
Wildlife observation: Watch for native animals around campsites and along shorelines. "My first evening I wandered down to use the restroom and I observed a pack of turkeys quietly making their way down the ridge. It was magical," shared a camper at Greenleaf State Park Campground.
Nature exploration: Trails at many parks offer opportunities to see local wildlife. "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," explains a visitor to Marval Camping Resort.
What campers like
Spacious sites: Many campers appreciate room to spread out. At Wahoo Bay, a reviewer mentioned, "The campsites are very specious and most if not all of them overlook the lake."
Seasonal quietude: Off-season camping offers a different experience. "If you dig the crowds and the splash park scene and the loud music... hit it in the summer. But if you like it quiet and peaceful check it out in the winter or early spring," notes a visitor at Greenleaf State Park Campground.
Budget-friendly options: Some areas offer free or low-cost camping. At Wahoo Bay, a reviewer shared, "We ended up staying an extra day. Only complaint was there was a lot of exposed barb wire and rebarb randomly but would stay here again if in the area."
Unique glamping facilities: Checotah-Lake Eufaula KOA provides elevated glamping options. "Scenery was great, a canopy of trees, very large spots for any size camper/rv/bus... water, electric, sewer, all available, fire pits, clean restrooms for showering."
What you should know
Shower facilities vary widely: Some parks charge for showers while others include them. At Sequoyah State Park, a camper warned, "However, the showers will cost you, so bring quarters. Plus, the ones we saw looked like they had black mold all around."
Campsite selection matters: Some sites have specific challenges. At Hawthorn Bluff, a visitor cautioned, "Lake side spots are not advisable if you have little ones, the bluffs are very close to the fire pits and have about a 30ft drop."
Seasonal maintenance issues: Facilities may not be maintained year-round. "We stayed here during December and there was only one other camper present. There are vaulted toilets and water around the camping area," reported a camper at Wahoo Bay.
Reservation requirements: Some parks have strict policies. "Be aware, you will not be allowed into the park without a prior reservation. My husband and I came late into the area and needed a place to sleep," warned a visitor to Gentry Creek Landing.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Choose sites near play areas if traveling with children. At Hawthorn Bluff, a camper advised, "There is a nice sandy beach for swimming, a long rocky shoreline that is fun to explore and hunt shells, you can go fishing, boating, kayaking, visit goat island."
Restroom proximity: Families should consider facilities when selecting sites. "We were in site #31 with is right across from the fishing dock and close to a potable water source. The Campground is very shaded and the spot was large and easy to back in to with our 33' TT," noted a visitor at Hawthorn Bluff.
Activity options: Look for campgrounds with multiple recreation choices. "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!" shared a Greenleaf State Park Campground visitor.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: Many RVers note terrain issues at local campgrounds. "The site did not have a dedicated water hook up. We had to buy a 75' hose to put water in our fresh tank. Not a huge deal. #2 complaint is that the site was slanted so much that we could not get level front to back," reported an RVer at Hawthorn Bluff.
Extended hookup needs: Water connections may require additional equipment. "In our site we needed 50 ft of water hose and I would suggest bringing a 'y' water connector," advised a camper at Greenleaf State Park Campground.
Seasonal accessibility: Some facilities remain open year-round despite weather conditions. "We were in the north end of the Choctaw Campground, nearest the converted cabin and heated showerhouse. All facilities (water, toilets, info) were open and working," noted a November visitor to Sequoyah State Park.
