    Tulsa NE-Will Rogers Downs KOA

    Nice clean campground

    Spent one night at this campground. Grounds were clean, restrooms and showers were also clean. The check in office was inviting and pleasing. We didn’t use the laundry facility while we were there, but they are available should the need arise. Bathrooms were locked and secure and passcode was required to enter. Passcode was provided upon check in. Our site was a pull through level gravel pad with full hookups. The off leash dog park was a small fenced in area with a couple of benches. Horse track and casino were well within walking distance from the camp sites. Quiet location, just off the highway. Highway could not be heard from inside our camper.

    Wahoo Bay

    Breathtaking!

    My wife and I had to come to Oklahoma for work in the Muskogee area, so we packed up our little camper and hit the road. Upon arrival we were absolutely blown away by the lakeside campsites, and not to mention you can camp for 14 days FREE! Only issues are that there not too many facilities near by, but perfect for primitive camping. We will definitely be returning in the future 🎄🍁🌳

    Checotah-Lake Eufaula KOA

    Checotah, OK….Really nice campground .

    If I was in area would stay again. Easy to get to and they take you to your site. Our 42’ 5th wheel snuggled in nicely. Sites have a large patio with chairs, table, gas grill and one for a wood fire. Each site is nicely landscaped. It’s quiet except for a bit of road noise but certainly nothing to complain about. You can still hear the sounds of nature. It’s very clean, lovely staff and gentleman that takes you to your site was very friendly and welcoming. They do have a laundry but didn’t use it. Our 2 dogs had a great time in the dog park which was really close. Highly recommend!!

    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.

    Sequoyah State Park - Marina and Cabins

    Beautiful park and campgrounds

    Even in November this is a great place to camp. In the Choctaw loop easy back in or pull thru sites. Very short walk to the lakeshore. Golf course in the park. Pet friendly. Close to tulsa too. There are shops just outside the park if you need propane or charcoal etc. Worth the trip!

    Claremore Expo RV Park

    In town Rv lot

    I wouldn’t say this is camping. The people that usually stay here are in town for events at the Expo or driving thru. There is a lot to do nearby. TWithin walking distance there’s the expo center (you can go in and pet horses) and a Rec center with a pool. You can go to Will Rogers Museum, JM Davis fun museum, RSU has a nice little hiking trail as does the Lake.

    Always an adventure

    Animals! Turtles, deer that like to be petted, frogs croaking at night, owls talking, beavers splashing in the lake and turkeys eating snakes!


Guide to Muskogee

Fort Gibson Lake near Muskogee sits at approximately 554 feet above sea level and spans over 19,900 acres with 225 miles of shoreline. The area experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F and mild winters, making camping possible year-round with proper preparation. Primitive camping sites around Muskogee typically cost $10-20 per night, while full hookup options range from $25-40 depending on season and amenities.

What to do

Hiking trails exploration: Greenleaf State Park's trails offer various difficulty levels for pet owners. "The trails at greenleaf are well maintained and marked. Their primitive camping is accessible and well kept. I enjoy the size of the park it is small and offers a lot of room for exploring," notes Cody L. at Greenleaf State Park Campground.

Fishing off docks: Fish for catfish, bass, and other species from accessible docks without needing a boat. A camper at Afton Landing reports, "Enjoyed fishing off the back of the site. Enjoyed the campground and meeting other campers." Many spots provide shore fishing access within walking distance of campsites.

Water recreation: Fort Gibson Lake offers swimming, boating, and kayaking options across multiple access points. One visitor notes, "Fort Gibson Lake is a flood control lake so the water levels can fluctuate. Specifically the waters can rise to where boating ramps are not available." Check water levels before planning water activities, especially after heavy rainfall periods.

What campers like

Spacious sites: Many campgrounds provide ample space between sites for pet comfort. At Wahoo Bay, Johnny D. observed, "Upon arrival we were absolutely blown away by the lakeside campsites, and not to mention you can camp for 14 days FREE! Only issues are that there not too many facilities near by, but perfect for primitive camping."

Clean facilities: While basic, most campgrounds maintain clean restrooms and common areas. "The vault toilets at Wahoo Bay remain clean and accessible, with water spigots available year-round even during winter camping," mentioned one regular camper who visits multiple times annually.

Wildlife viewing: The region offers opportunities to observe native wildlife. Julie O. from Greenleaf State Park experienced, "Animals! Turtles, deer that like to be petted, frogs croaking at night, owls talking, beavers splashing in the lake and turkeys eating snakes!" Bring binoculars and maintain distance from wild animals.

What you should know

Seasonal water levels: Fort Gibson Lake water levels fluctuate significantly. David M. explains, "2020 has been a good year (without excessive rain) and everything was open for the summer season. The east side of the lake is spring fed creeks and therefore cleaner and clearer."

Reservation requirements: Many campgrounds operate on first-come, first-served basis, while others require advance booking. At Tullahassee Loop Recreation Area, Deborah C. notes, "$10/night standard $5/night with Access Pass. Water available, playground, boat ramp and day use area. 15 sites. Can reserve on recreation.gov."

Campfire restrictions: Several campgrounds prohibit open fires during dry periods or permanently. Crossroads RV Park does not permit fires at any time, requiring campers to use propane cooking equipment instead.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Sequoyah State Park - Marina and Cabins offers family-friendly facilities. Richard shared, "We had a great time tent camping here on Labor Day Weekend. Beautiful park with grassy tent sites. Nice hiking trail... There is a marina where you can rent canoes and kayaks and buy supplies. There is a mini golf course too. The absolute best part of this park is the splash pad."

Seasonal activities: October camping offers special experiences for families. Jenny mentioned, "This park offers full hookup sites and has many hiking trails. In October, they do trick or treating every weekend - which is fun!"

Budget planning: Many areas offer free or low-cost camping with basic amenities. Tim O. reports, "I can see the stars and the moon while hearing deer run through the woods, birds splashing in the water and coyotes howling. 12 miles/ 20 minutes to town for gas, groceries, laundry, etc."

Tips from RVers

Hookup challenges: Some RV sites have unusual hookup configurations. At Taylor Ferry, Corey P. noted, "The water at our site was broken so we shared with another site (60')." Bring extra-long hoses and electrical cords to ensure connection regardless of hookup location.

Winter camping considerations: Many campgrounds remain open year-round with limited services. Elizabeth B. advises, "Two dump stations! The north side we were on will close for the winter soon. I do advise having a water filter system on your rig we Will totally be returning anytime of year because this COE stays open all year."

Site selection strategy: Choose sites strategically based on season and needs. Gonzo A. warns about Greenleaf State Park, "The RV FHU sites in the Deer Run campground are on top of one another. We had a neighbor's picnic table maybe a foot or two at best from the slide out side window who proceeded to burn trash in their firepit the entire weekend."
