      Cedar Lake Equestrian Campground

      Great campground

      This was mine and my mom's favorite place to camp in Oklahoma. The campground is heavily forested with pine trees and there are some sites right off the lake. It has a very nice bathroom facility with showers. Normally when we would go (in the fall and spring) it was not very crowded. Lots of great hiking trails nearby and the scenic Talimena scenic drive is beautiful, especially in the fall.

      Riverfront RV Resort

      A Hidden Gem

      We needed an overnight spot on our way from Oklahoma to NW Arkansas, and I'm glad that we picked this park. It's located right next to the Arkansas River with a nice concrete walking trail along the river. Parking for registration is located right next to the office. All the park staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. 

      The road from the highway to the park is fairly easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate. Even though it's not too far from the main road, we didn't hear any traffic noise at all- very peaceful. However, you will hear occasional train horns from the crossing a few miles away. You'll only hear them when outside your RV, never inside. 

      We were assigned to pull-thru site number 44. All the sites are concrete and appear fairly level. Our site was level side to side, and 5 inches from front to rear. There are no shade trees for the majority of the park sites. 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. There is also a picnic table located at each site. 

      Bathrooms, Showers, and the pool are all located near the registration office building and are in great shape. There are no trash cans by the sites- just a dumpster area near the dog park and playground. However, they do come by your site each morning to pick up any trash that you've set out. 

      Wi-Fi, Satellite, OTA: there is decent Wi-Fi in the park with repeater towers spaced approximately every four sites, so each site has a fairly strong signal- we achieved 9.52 Mbps down and 2.02 Mbps up. We got AT&T 5G with 4 bars and achieved 512 Mbps down and 32 Mbps up. If you need clear access for satellite reception, trees will not be an issue. Also, you can pick up plenty of OTA stations with good HD quality reception. 

      Dog Park: They have a nice fenced-in park that is in great condition and is well lit at night. They provide doggie bags and a trash can, both in the dog park and along the walking paths. 

      Amenities: Lots of items are listed on their website. 

      Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay. The park is only a couple of years old and is very well maintained. Only about 15-20 percent of the spaces were occupied. Note that sites 100- 115 are along the river. There is a concrete public walking path along the river, but those sites are elevated above the path, with a grass and tree buffer zone between them. There are a couple of covered pavilions in the park with built-in gas grills and comfortable seating areas. The park map provides a very accurate rendition of the park. See my attached photos for more details. 

      This park deserves its high rating, and I do not hesitate to recommend it - enjoy your stay!

      Hog Valley RV & Treehouse Resort

      Nice spot - Lots of amenities

      Hog Valley RV Park is a solid place to stay, especially for families. The amenities are nice, particularly if you have children, with parks, basketball courts, and pickleball courts available. The two pools were closed for the season during our stay, so keep that in mind depending on when you visit.

      The front staff was very welcoming and even escorted us to our spot, which was a nice touch. The park was quiet at night, and the sites were level with full hookups, which made setup easy. There are also plenty of spots available throughout the park.

      A few downsides kept it from being a 5-star stay. The grass was extremely damp, and our dogs got soaked just from laying down. There is also only one trash area, located near the front entrance, which is pretty far from many of the sites. The dog parks were just average, possibly a little below average.

      Overall, it was a good stay with great family-friendly amenities and friendly staff. I’d recommend it, especially for families, but there are a few areas that could be improved.

      Sallisaw-Fort Smith West KOA

      Convenient to I-40

      This is KOA, not my favorite place to stop, but they have good, basic facilities, sort of like Motel 6. They are just off I-40, so it was convenient for a one night stop. The sites were level, and were Pull-Thru so we didn’t even unhook. Full hookups, Some shade, a dump station. The shower/bathroom was clean. There is a small store. They also have cabins and tent sites; Free Wi-Fi, cable tv, a pool and playground, and a pond for fishing. There is a small Kamp K9 (dog park). When we were there everything was wet, and the smell of wet creosote from the log yard next door was terrible.

      Hog Valley RV & Treehouse Resort

      Still a nice park, but...

      We last stayed here five years ago when the park was new. Some of the areas and amenities that are now available were still under construction during our last trip. The bottom line… still a very nice park, but it's starting to show its age a little. 

      Parking for registration is located right next to the office. All the park staff we 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, though several roads have asphalt failures that need attention. Even though it's not too far from Interstate 49, we didn't hear any traffic noise at all- very peaceful. 

      We were assigned to pull-thru site number 36. Most of the sites are gravel, but the pull-thru row that we were in had concrete pads. For the most part, all sites appear fairly level. 

      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. 

      Two bathroom areas also have showers and laundry facilities- one at the front of the park and one in the rear. The pool area and playground are located at the front of the park.

      Wi-Fi, Satellite, Cable, and OTA: there is Wi-Fi in the park, but the park info sheet that they provide you with notes that the Wi-Fi is spotty. We were able to get AT&T 5G with 4 bars. AT&T achieved 418 Mbps down and 21 Mbps up. Satellite reception should not be an issue at most sites, and if you do need clear access for satellite reception, there are plenty of sites available with no trees. There are plenty of OTA stations available, and they all had great reception with clear HD pictures. Cable was not available. 

      Dog Park: They have two nice fenced-in parks that are in great condition. The one in the front of the park is divided for big and small dogs, while the one in the back is larger but not divided. They both have benches, which are all in good shape. They also provide doggie bags and a trash can. NOTE: I've included a photo of the sign posted at the entrances to the park indicating that they might be shut down. So if having a fenced dog park is mission-critical for your stay, you might want to verify that they are still open when you make your reservation 

      Amenities: Lots of items are listed on their website, and you are only a few miles from Fayetteville, where you can find plenty of stores and restaurants. Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay. Although the park is starting to show its age, it still deserves a high rating, and I would not hesitate to recommend it- enjoy your stay!

      Grape Country RV Park

      Great Country Setting

      Simple, but nice.  No frills.  Quiet.  If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet place, away from the city, this is a great place. I love it. Have stayed several times in several different sites.  Will stay again.  About 13 campsites, all gravel.  Has a wooded trails for walking and a big open are for walking and playing with pets.  Water, sewer and 30/50amp electric are easy access and to hook up.   James the owner is great and has a U-Pick orchard as well.

      Devil's Den State Park Campground

      NW Arkansas Camping

      Devil’s Den SP had a great campground with full hookups available. The natural beauty of this area is breathtaking! Plenty of hiking opportunities and tons of activities. Very pet friendly. And close to so many attractions in Northwest Arkansas!

    Guide to Muldrow

    Muldrow, Oklahoma sits at an elevation of 538 feet in eastern Oklahoma, approximately 20 minutes from Fort Smith, Arkansas. Summer temperatures routinely reach the 90s with high humidity, while winters remain mild with occasional freezing temperatures. The camping region features multiple access points to the Arkansas River and Robert S. Kerr Reservoir, creating opportunities for both waterfront and wooded camping experiences.

    What to do

    Water activities at Brushy Lake: Brushy Lake State Park Campground features a watershed lake perfect for small watercraft. "Lake is great for fishing and kayaking. Not a major boating or water sport lake," notes Logan D. The smaller lake size creates a calmer environment compared to the Arkansas River options.

    Mountain biking trails: COE John Paul Hammerschmidt Lake Springhill Campground offers excellent trails for cyclists. "There are great trails on site for mountain biking or hiking. I saw deer, a snake, and what looked like a coyote on the trail," Jennifer L. explains. The trail system supports both beginner and advanced riders.

    Lock and dam observation: Visit the Robert S. Kerr Lock and Dam to watch commercial barges navigate the lock system. "The Observation decks at the Visitors Center provide an excellent view of the barges and pleasure boats passing through the lock," according to one reviewer. The lock system maintains the Arkansas River's navigability for commercial traffic.

    What campers like

    Clean shower facilities: Sallisaw-Fort Smith West KOA receives consistently positive feedback about their bathhouses. "Fabulous showers," notes Lynda K., while another camper called them "the best showers ever for a campground!" The facilities are well-maintained and regularly cleaned.

    Waterfront campsites: Springhill offers direct river access from many campsites. "We had a spacious site with plenty of room between us and our friendly neighbors. My favorite part was the rock outcropping at the river by our site. It felt like we had our own little dock to cast off from," Rebecca H. mentions. These sites allow for easy water access without leaving your campsite.

    Recreation amenities: Several campgrounds feature extensive recreational options beyond hiking. "Basketball hoop, pool and hot tub, pond with kayaks, and more. Laundry, showers and a decent shop too," describes Ben P. about the KOA. Family-friendly options include playgrounds, volleyball courts, and fishing areas at most established campgrounds.

    What you should know

    Reservation requirements: Most Corps of Engineers campgrounds in the area now require reservations through Recreation.gov. "Because all CoE campgrounds now require reservations, we did so in advance even though it was not necessary in early March," explains one camper at Short Mountain Cove. Even in off-season, making reservations ensures site availability.

    Site leveling challenges: Devil's Den State Park Campground and other area campgrounds have uneven sites. "Some sites are a little uneven," notes Gordon D., while another camper mentioned that "my concrete pad at site A5 had a bit of an incline." Bring leveling blocks, particularly for longer RVs.

    Limited cell service: Coverage varies significantly between campgrounds. "If it is important to you, cell service (Verizon) was very weak," one camper noted about Short Mountain Cove. Devil's Den has "no cell service whatsoever but Wifi (paid) is offered by the park," according to Gonzo A.

    Tips for camping with families

    Indoor accommodations: For families who prefer not to tent camp, Riverfront RV Resort offers various options. "Our kids enjoyed the playground, outdoor gym, and pickleball - it was too cold to swim," notes Angela C. The resort maintains facilities operational year-round regardless of weather.

    Convenient store access: KOA campgrounds typically include small stores for emergency supplies. "The office also has a gameroom, pantry, and propane," mentions Craig E. This reduces the need for trips into town with children.

    Swimming options: Public swimming areas offer relief during hot summer months. "Pool, great trails, and the creek/river kept my kids entertained and worn out!" shared Melissa M. about Devil's Den. Most developed campgrounds include swimming pools that open seasonally from late May through early September.

    Tips from RVers

    Dog friendly campgrounds near Muldrow: Pet accommodations vary significantly between locations. At Sallisaw-Fort Smith West KOA, Tom S. mentions, "Nice KOA to stay. Great gravel and concrete pads. Areas for the dogs some pads and a common area for dogs." The campgrounds around Muldrow generally welcome pets but with specific designated areas.

    Road access considerations: Some campgrounds have challenging access roads. "From I-40 take Exit 308 in Sallisaw, go south on US 59 for 4.2 miles; turn right onto E1121 road then left onto N4610 road and follow for two miles; turn right onto E1140 road and follow for .5 mile," directions to COE Robert S Kerr Applegate Cove indicate. Larger rigs should verify accessibility before booking.

    Hookup details: Water hookups may be shared between sites at some campgrounds. "Water was to be shared with neighbor site, so why am I paying full price. Pretty stupid," notes Craig E. about Applegate Cove. "Dump station is quarter of mile outside of campground." Verify hookup arrangements when booking at pet-friendly campgrounds near Muldrow.
