    Robbers Cave State Park houses elevated glamping options in eastern Oklahoma's scenic wilderness, approximately 18 miles from Red Oak. Their glamping accommodations include fully furnished yurts with comfortable beds, electricity, and climate control features not found in traditional camping. The park's glamping sites are strategically positioned near hiking trails and natural attractions, offering a perfect blend of outdoor immersion and modern comfort. Guests staying in glamping accommodations have access to clean, renovated bathroom facilities with hot showers, particularly valued after a day of exploration. Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, and grill, allowing for outdoor cooking while enjoying upscale sleeping quarters. A recent visitor mentioned, "The yurts were more than we imagined, with nice amenities and perfect positioning for exploring all the park has to offer."

    Multiple hiking trails wind directly from the glamping areas, leading to destinations like the historic Robbers Cave—a former hideout for outlaws like Jesse James. Adventurous glampers can enjoy bouldering and rock climbing opportunities throughout the park, while those seeking relaxation can paddle on Lake Carlton in warmer months, where canoes and paddle boats are available for rent. The park's canvas accommodations provide a premium base camp for exploring the Ouachita Mountains, with seasonal activities ranging from swimming to fall foliage viewing. Booking requirements vary by season, with spring and fall weekends requiring advance reservations due to popularity. According to one camper, "We enjoyed staying in a glamping accommodation with all the hiking right outside our door—the trails offered stunning views from the bluffs that were worth the climb, and we could return to comfortable quarters afterward."

      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!

      Queen Wilhelmina State Park — Queen Wihelmina State Park

      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.

      Cedar Lake (Oklahoma)

      Fabulous

      This place genuinely is amazing. If you want to hike, there are more hiking trails and equestrian trails than you could actually accomplish even in fourteen days. The GPS points are all over the map. Essentially, come down to Cedar Lake. And there are two group campgrounds, a spot called shady lane equestrian, campground, and then the campground right on the water, they're all terrific. Most nights there wasn't anybody here. I spent four nights in the equestrian, campground and two nights in shady lane absolutely terrific.

      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.

      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.

      Greenleaf State Park Campground

      Not A Fan of the RV Full Hook Up Section

      Landed here during Memorial Day last spring and it wasn't the best experience.  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.  So the smell and being stacked on top of one another were huge dampers to the weekend.  Seems like a nice location and perhaps the other campgrounds aren't so packed together.

    Guide to Red Oak

    Robbers Cave State Park offers upscale glamping near Red Oak, Oklahoma with climate-controlled yurts, enhanced camping amenities, and access to trout fishing in the cold water below the dam. The park sits within the Sans Bois Mountains at elevations between 750-1,500 feet. Most sites can be accessed via drive-in, while certain areas accommodate hike-in, walk-in, and boat-in camping options depending on location and season.

    What to do

    Trout fishing below the dam: Lake Carlton at Robbers Cave features cold water access. "The afternoon hours did have some rambunctious local teens, but they kept to themselves. Trout fishing just steps away from camp and we had the whole campground to ourselves for the night," notes a visitor to Robbers Cave State Park.

    Horseback riding for families: The park maintains dedicated equestrian trails and facilities. "This is such a great park, one of the best I have ever been to for equine camping. Horses are very happy here, just remember to bring your coggins paperwork," advises a Robbers Cave camper.

    Discover backcountry trails: Cedar Lake offers extended hiking beyond typical state park offerings. "We enjoy the Horsetheif Springs Trail which starts behind the dump station. You can either hike a small couple mail loop or extend it to 14 miles," explains a visitor to Cedar Lake.

    What campers like

    Clean facilities: Many campers appreciate well-maintained shower houses. "Restrooms and showers were spectacular. Everything was clean and well kept," reports a visitor to Queen Wilhelmina State Park, located near the Oklahoma-Arkansas border about 50 miles from Red Oak.

    Waterfront sites: Lake views are highly sought after in the region. "Campgrounds were incredibly peaceful and quiet. There is running water and bathrooms which were relatively clean. Each site has a tent pad, picnic table, grill, lantern poles, fire pit, parking spot and small counter-like food prep area," notes a Cedar Lake camper.

    Seasonal changes: Fall colors transform many camping areas near Red Oak. "We had a blast. The first night it was truly freezing but we made it through. We went to enjoy hiking & fall colors and we're not disappointed," shares a camper from Greenleaf State Park.

    What you should know

    Limited tent camping options: Some parks prioritize RV accommodation over tent sites. "The campground is small with limited pads. Each site is close to the next and are generally occupied with RVs or camper trailers. I would suggest that this campground is most appropriate for the camper who prefers a more modern feel," explains a Queen Wilhelmina visitor.

    Water hookup logistics: Some camping areas require extra equipment for water connections. "The only disadvantage to this park is some sites share water. In our site we needed 50 ft of water hose and I would suggest bringing a 'y' water connector," advises a Greenleaf State Park camper.

    Accessibility challenges: Not all trails accommodate mobility devices. "We tried a few trails but were too hard for us. We have a daughter with cerebral palsy that we pull in a wagon and the trails were too rough for the wagon," shares a visitor to Brooken Cove.

    Tips for camping with families

    Wildlife viewing opportunities: Kids enjoy spotting various animals in these natural settings. "Animals! Turtles, deer that like to be petted, frogs croaking at night, owls talking, beavers splashing in the lake and turkeys eating snakes!" reports a Greenleaf State Park camper.

    Water recreation options: Many campgrounds offer water activities beyond swimming. "We brought our kayaks and had so much fun hitting the lake in the morning. It does get busy as the day goes on, especially in the summer on the weekends," notes a Cedar Lake visitor.

    Interactive facilities: Some campgrounds near Red Oak offer specialized children's areas. "What we love: a ton of activities and things to do. Pool, bouncy houses, witbit, swim beach, schedule activities, kayaks, putt putt, etc. They also have a cafe with a lot of cheap food," explains a camper from Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park.

    Tips from RVers

    Site leveling considerations: Be prepared for uneven pads at some locations. "Site 51 was the best view. Long but narrow paved spot. We couldn't back all the way up because the tree was too low, but the spot was long enough where it wasn't an issue. The water spicket was about 80 ft away," advises a Brooken Cove RVer.

    Off-season advantages: Consider glamping close to Red Oak, Oklahoma during quieter months. "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," suggests a Greenleaf State Park visitor.

    Overnight convenience: Some sites accommodate quick stops. "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," notes a traveler who stayed at the Sallisaw KOA.
