What to do
Hiking trails: At Boiling Springs State Park, trails offer varied terrain suitable for different skill levels. "We stayed over a weekend.

Plenty of hiking and biking available," notes Jinger L. about Spring Hill Campground.
Disc golf course: Canton Lake's recreation area features a challenging course adjacent to camping areas. "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," reports Terry P. about Big Bend Park.
Fishing: Canton Lake provides excellent fishing opportunities for walleye and stripers. "Some lakeside sites. Many have tons of shade. Site spacing is good. Some of the best Walleye and Striper fishing around. Overall a great park," explains Kelly B. about the fishing conditions at Big Bend Park.
What campers like
Wildlife viewing: Multiple campgrounds offer opportunities to see deer, birds and other wildlife. "We only spent one night, but enjoyed the hiking trail and viewing the spring. A nice respite for weary travelers. Saw some mule deer wandering through in the morning," mentions Anita B. about her stay at Spring Hill Campground — Boiling Springs State Park.
Scenic lake views: Canton Lake campsites provide water views with strategic spacing. "We 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," says N L. about camping at Big Bend Park.
Clean facilities: Fort Supply Lake offers well-maintained campgrounds with good facilities. "Clean sites, clean bathrooms, affordable. Good sells service for T-Mobile. Friendly staff. Beautiful stock lake. Main town is less than 15 miles away with pretty much anything you need," notes Jon S. about COE Fort Supply Lake Supply Park.
What you should know
Winter camping options: Some campgrounds offer free winter camping with reduced services. "A wonderful campground that is free in the winter with no amenities available at that time. I spent about a week here at the beginning of February and didn't see anyone else the entire time. Very safe and love the covered picnic tables," explains Rebecca L. about Big Bend Park.
Mosquito presence: Summer camping may involve dealing with large mosquito populations. "The campgrounds at Boiling Springs State Park are small and the majority are RV sites. There are GIANT mosquitos in the late spring and summer and they are in swarms. The park is not as well taken care of as it used to be," cautions Morgan K.
Swimming areas: Fort Supply Lake features designated swimming zones for families. "Well maintained sites. Amazing swimming area. Helpful staff. Holiday's are busy," mentions Keri F., adding "If you have a boat the sandbars are a great place to stop and let the kids play safely in the water."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several parks include multiple play areas for children. "Has a few good hiking trails. 4 or 5 playgrounds which was fun. The bathroom seemed to be cleaned a few times a day. We would stay there again," shares Richard about Spring Hill Campground.
Water safety considerations: Local lakes require proper footwear for safety. "Wear water shoes while in the water. Too many gashed feet from broken bottles and freshwater mussel shells," advises Ryan S. about Fort Supply Lake Supply Park.
Dog-friendly policies: Many parks accommodate pets with reasonable restrictions. "They were very dog friendly and mine enjoyed the stay as well, with lots of things to sniff and see. Dogs are allowed on all trails and inside most buildings as long as they are on a 10 foot leash," explains Anna T. about Spring Hill Campground.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: RV parks near Mooreland, Oklahoma offer varied site configurations. "Very 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," reports Kat about Shirley's Shine Car Wash and RV Park.
Lakeside camping considerations: Fort Supply Lake accommodates boats at some sites. "Stayed one night so didn't get a chance to explore the park much. But the sites were nice and spacious. Park was also nice and right by a lake - they had quite a few campers with boats on their sites so appears to have additional parking to accommodate watercraft in some cases," notes Gonzo A.
Seasonal variations: RV parks near Mooreland offer different experiences depending on season. "There are multiple campgrounds available and a lot of spots. Bathrooms are strangely located and the put toilets are not cleaned. I was the only camper here and no water and no bathrooms due to winter," cautions Teresa T. about winter camping at Fort Supply Lake.
