Great campsite
Great campsite. Beautiful area. The lodge is open 24 hours and park rangers are around all the time. Limited spots, so get them while they last!

Ants and Flys
The campground is beautiful and lots of trails to walk and a vintage train ride that takes you around the park. Nice lodge at the top of the hill with a store and restaurant. WiFi is decent and bathrooms are kept clean. Recommend hiking the lovers leap trail for a good scenic view. Not matter how clean I tried to keep my campsite, Ants and Flys are around the RV spots.

Very sweet little park
Stopped by to see it. There are two camping areas. RV sites in area 2 are much better. Very nice but unless you fish, not much else to do but relax I suppose.

Robbers Cave State Park — Robbers Cave State Resort Park
I stayed for almost 10 days
Stayed in the Equestrian campground with access to miles and miles of trails. It was wonderful and some of the best hiking I have done in quite a while. The hikes along the lake edges were great. There are horse trails id have loved to have done but it was time to move on. Of all the campgrounds, and there are many in the park, the Equestrian is the best if you want to hike.

Wards Campground — Lake Wister State Park
It is a serviceable campground
This campground has all the basics: bathrooms and showers, trash, water and electric at most spots. If you are a boater, there is lale access right across the road. But, there are prettier places to camp in this park for sure. The trails around the campground and not well maintained but if you hike from the pool, you will find a very nice hiking trail

ScoutMarval 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.

Peaceful, healing, and perfect in every season
We found Pioneer Campgrounds three years ago and have come back every chance we get. It’s more than just a campground—it’s a true escape from the noise and stress of everyday life.
This place has something special every time we visit. There’s a peaceful creek, a two-mile trail for walking or biking, volleyball and basketball courts, ping pong, and a fire pit for those perfect evening hangouts. The kids have room to run and explore, and our dogs are always welcome.
The cabins are spacious, super clean, and have great A/C—perfect for relaxing after a day outside. There are spots for tent camping too if that’s your style. Each visit brings something new: upgrades, little surprises, and thoughtful touches that make it feel even more like home.
They also offer extras like a washer and dryer, coffee, cold drinks, and shirts—all for a small charge. Plus, the WiFi is great thanks to Starlink, which is a bonus when you need to stay a little connected.
Whether it’s spring, summer, fall, or winter, this place is beautiful year-round. It’s peaceful, quiet, and perfect for our family!
Big thank-you to Matt—the owner—he’s kind, down-to-earth, and truly an awesome dude. We’re so glad we found this gem. Thanks from The Mays Family. 💚

Nice place to stay
Friendly helpful staff. Decent lots. Many are shaded. Several things for kids including a pool.
Guide to Red Oak
Cabin options near Red Oak, Oklahoma provide accommodations within the Kiamichi Mountains region at elevations ranging from 700 to 2,600 feet. The area receives approximately 54 inches of annual rainfall, creating lush forest conditions around cabin sites. Most cabin facilities maintain 30-50 amp electrical service with varying levels of additional amenities.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Cedar Lake offers excellent fishing directly from cabin sites. One visitor noted, "Had a great time fishing at our campsite. Were the only ones at this campground. You'll have to find this treasure spot."
Hiking trails: At Robbers Cave State Park, trails range from easy to challenging. A camper shared, "Lots of history at Robbers Cave State Park! Belle Starr famous Lady Outlaw! Jesse James Gang! Beautiful lakes and numerous hiking trails!"
Horseback riding: For equestrian enthusiasts, specialized cabin accommodations exist. A camper at Cedar Lake Equestrian Campground remarked, "This is a great spot to come with the family and enjoy the small Lake Wister. The area isn't very shaded and only has maybe 8-12 spots with shade so it could get warm during the summer months."
Miniature golf: Some cabin areas include family recreation facilities. A reviewer described, "My son also got to play miniature for the first time at the course located next to the pool. One word of warning the golf course is very dated with carpet ripped or completely missing in spots."
What campers like
Mountain views: Cabins positioned at higher elevations provide scenic overlooks. At Queen Wilhelmina State Park, a visitor observed, "The views are beautiful. The campsites are very well maintained and very level. Limited activities for younger children, but we enjoyed the hiking trails."
Wildlife watching: Many cabin areas offer opportunities to observe local fauna. A camper reported, "Animals! Turtles, deer that like to be petted, frogs croaking at night, owls talking, beavers splashing in the lake and turkeys eating snakes!"
Lake access: Waterfront cabin rentals remain popular options. According to one review at Lake Wister State Park, "We did love this site for the view alone! However, our RV is 35 FT long and while it's rated for this length it was a little difficult to back into, because of surrounding trees. The view was right on the water edge."
Off-season tranquility: Winter and early spring visits offer more solitude at cabin sites. A camper noted, "Very pretty campground, clean and relatively quiet this time of year. A very few campers here the week of Christmas 2020."
What you should know
Bathroom facilities: Quality varies significantly between locations. One camper at Robbers Cave State Park observed, "Showers need cleaning and water pressure is very poor."
Reservation requirements: Peak season (May-September) requires reservations 2-3 months in advance for most cabin rentals, while off-season availability expands significantly.
Electrical service: While most cabins provide electrical hookups, capacity differs. At Highway 9 Landing, a camper explained, "65 Sites w/electric $10.00-$50.00 (50 avai), 11 non electric $10.00-$14.00. Some pull thru's boat ramp dump station day use area with picnic area playground flush toilets showers swimming grills with fire rings picnic table drinking water."
Kitchen supplies: Most cabin rentals provide minimal cooking equipment. Visitors typically need to bring cooking utensils, plates, cups and food storage containers.
Tips for camping with families
Splash pad access: Water features enhance summer stays for children. A reviewer at Greenleaf State Park shared, "We had a great time tent camping here on Labor Day Weekend. Beautiful park with grassy tent sites. Nice hiking trail. The absolute best part of this park is the splash pad. It was the best splash pad we've been too."
Scheduled activities: Some parks offer organized family programs. One camper explained, "The Oklahoma Park staff were very knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to answer any of my questions. Also when you get to camp they will give you a schedule of all the events that are going on throughout the week you are staying."
Playground considerations: Assess playground proximity when booking with children. A visitor noted, "There is a nice playground for children but it is located right next to the water. There is a toilet right by the playground."
Educational opportunities: Several cabin locations offer learning experiences. A visitor mentioned, "We did a hayride that lead us through the park to the stables where there is a petting zoo, we saw the second largest pine tree in Oklahoma, and drank water from an artesian well."
Tips from RVers
Site layout considerations: Cabin and RV sites often share campground areas. A camper at Sallisaw-Fort Smith West KOA observed, "My only complaint would be that the sites are really compact. Plenty of room for your RV but so close that you can hear and smell your neighbors."
Bathroom proximity: When mixing cabin and RV camping, bathroom access matters. A visitor noted, "The bathroom and shower house is located in the middle of the old circle loop. The structure is very old and very dated stone structure, where you might find frogs sitting on shower curtains, spiders, and lizards."
Off-season advantages: Winter cabin rentals often provide better value and solitude. A camper shared, "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."
Accessibility issues: Some cabin areas present challenges for larger vehicles. As one visitor reported, "Sites are laid out badly and way too close to each other. Grills, picnic table and fire ring behind sites. Most within 5 feet of neighbors sewer connection."
