Nice campground
Really clean bathrooms. Spots are small and tight so bigger rigs I’d be cautious. Really nice lake views.

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!

No personnel in the evening or after dark.
This place looks nice but beware. Vagrants and random folks drinking just pulled up in empty camp spot next to us. Vulgar language and loud music. There wasn’t anyone around to help so we left. A guy at boat ramp told us that there are only maintenance personnel and no law enforcement / ranger. Basically everyone just does their own thing. Will not go back.

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.

This park offers full hookup sites and has many hiking trails. In October, they do trick or treating every weekend - which is fun!

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 Stidham
Lake Eufaula's surrounding terrain near Stidham, Oklahoma offers diverse camping options between elevations of 585-700 feet. The area's red clay soil and moderate tree cover create a mix of lakeside and forested camping environments. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F, while spring and fall provide milder conditions with occasional thunderstorms.
What to do
Fishing experiences: At Gentry Creek Landing, campers can fish directly from their sites with multiple anglers reporting success. "We are right on the lake with beach access to enter. Water and electric hook ups at all spots with a central dumping station," notes James C., highlighting the convenient lake access.
Hiking opportunities: The Robbers Cave State Park trail system provides varied terrain for day hikes. "The hike was worth every hair raising nervous parent moment," shares Kyle H., describing the popular cave trail that's "steep and rocky with big drop-offs" but manageable for adventurous families.
Water recreation: Kayaking and paddleboarding are available at many lakeside locations, with Brooken Cove Campground offering direct water access. "Nice campsites with room between sites. Most sites have lake views and there is alit of access to the lake," according to Angela, making it ideal for water sports enthusiasts.
What campers like
Lake views: Campers consistently praise the water views at sites throughout the region. At Brooken Cove Campground, Therese notes, "We camped in Space 62 right on the water, 30 amp, shared water, open shot to satellites... Nice boat ramp and sandy but rocky beaches."
Quiet camping options: Several campgrounds offer secluded spots away from crowds. "The night we spent here, we were the only ones in that whole section of the campground, so we had the whole place to ourselves," shares Julie about Gentry Creek, emphasizing the peaceful atmosphere available in non-peak seasons.
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathhouses and shower facilities receive positive reviews at many campgrounds. "Bathrooms were a little beat up but shower was hot and with good water pressure," notes Adam L. about Okemah Lake, demonstrating that even basic facilities can provide essential comfort.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Some campgrounds strictly enforce reservation policies. At Gentry Creek Landing, Rachel H. warns, "Be aware, you will not be allowed into the park without a prior reservation... She said 'oh yes, I've got lots of spaces.' She kicked us out."
Site characteristics: Campsite features vary significantly across the region. At Greenleaf State Park, campers should note that "some sites share water-bring extra hoses and a 'y' connector," according to Kassi S., a practical consideration when setting up camp.
Weather considerations: Oklahoma's variable weather affects camping conditions year-round. During storm seasons, be prepared for rapid changes as Therese experienced at Brooken Cove: "We arrived shortly after Hurricane Laura, so her aftermath caused rain and lightning storms."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play areas for children. At Marval Camping Resort, Nicholas L. notes it's "totally worth the visit... Full hookups. Nice staff," adding they "have a nice playground" that children enjoy.
Swimming options: Lakes provide swimming opportunities during summer months. At Brooken Cove, Angie N. mentions, "There are several sandy beach areas and the water is shallow for a great distance out, making it good for swimming," though she cautions about geese presence.
Yurt camping alternatives: For families seeking a glamping experience similar to yurt camping in Stidham, Oklahoma, consider Sequoyah State Park which offers cabin accommodations. "Choctaw camping area has full hookups, nice concrete pads & concrete picnic tables," reports Christine N., providing a comfortable alternative to traditional tent camping.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: RVers report varying experiences with site levelness. At Okemah Lake, Leslie N. advises, "Some sites are level, some require a bit more work to level. There was plenty of shade to stay cool and you can have your choice between concrete pad, gravel or just go primitive."
Hookup variations: Electric and water availability differs between campgrounds. James C. at Gentry Creek notes, "Water and electric hook ups at all spots with a central dumping station," which is essential information for RV planning.
Access considerations: Some campgrounds have limitations for larger rigs. Kimberly M. cautions about Gentry Creek Landing: "Very disappointed. RV barely fit, site too narrow," suggesting RVers with larger units should research site dimensions carefully before booking.
