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!

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.

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.

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.

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

Guide to Stigler
Camping around Stigler, Oklahoma centers on Lake Eufaula, the largest lake in the state at over 102,000 acres. The lake region sits at approximately 585 feet above sea level in the foothills of the Sans Bois Mountains. Seasonal temperature fluctuations are significant, with summer highs regularly exceeding 90°F and winter lows often dropping below freezing. Most campgrounds in this area remain open year-round, though water facilities typically shut down during winter months.
What to do
Trout fishing below the dam: At Chicken Creek, visitors can access one of only two year-round trout fisheries in Oklahoma. "Lake Tenkiller is an amazing location to scuba dive. Its waters are clear and cool from a distance of 8 to 28 feet. A diver will have the opportunity to investigate a sunken airplane fuselage, school bus, helicopter and two boats," explains one visitor.
Hiking historical trails: Robbers Cave State Park features caves once used by outlaws. "The hiking trail to the cave is steep and rocky with big drop-offs, so be careful with small children. It is a ¾ of a mile trail that my son absolutely loved. He was trying to find the robber that was hiding out," notes one family camper.
Water recreation: Seasonal temperature differences affect water activities. During summer months, swimming beaches at Brooken Cove Campground offer shallow entry points for families. "There are several sandy beach areas and the water is shallow for a great distance out, making it good for swimming," writes a camper, though they caution to "beware of an abundance of geese who frequent the park."
What campers like
Off-season solitude: Winter and early spring visits offer quiet experiences. "We camped 8/28/2020 - 9/3/2020 in Space 62 right on the water, 30 amp, shared water, open shot to satellites. Sewer dump and trash bins nearby. Nice boat ramp and sandy but rocky beaches," reports a visitor to Brooken Cove.
Equestrian facilities: Horse owners appreciate dedicated trails and camping areas. "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," notes a Robbers Cave visitor.
Family-oriented activities: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park offers structured recreation beyond standard camping. "Clean facilities. Lots of activities for the kids such as pool, lake inflatables, putt-putt, indoor guided crafts, sand sifting, fire pits, and playground. You are able to cross over to the sister park and enjoy their amenities," shares a family who stayed there.
What you should know
Bathroom conditions vary widely: Facility maintenance differs between campgrounds. At Sequoyah State Park, "showers will cost you, so bring quarters. Plus, the ones we saw looked like they had black mold all around. Needless to say, we did not use the showers."
Reservation requirements: Some campgrounds require advance booking. At Gentry Creek, a camper warns, "Be aware, you will not be allowed into the park without a prior reservation. My husband and I came late into the area and needed a place to sleep. The website did not say that reservations were REQUIRED, just that they were available."
Site spacing: Many campgrounds have close quarters. "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," reports a disappointed visitor to Greenleaf State Park.
Tips for camping with families
Splash pad access: Greenleaf State Park offers water recreation beyond the lake. "The absolute best part of this park is the splash pad. It was the best splash pad we've been to. They had a cool slide and we had a blast," writes an enthusiastic visitor.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Seasonal animal sightings enhance family experiences. "I love this small park. It offers a lot of amenities, but overall it's about the cave trails and lots of hiking opportunities. We went in the early fall so too cool to enjoy the small lakes but our campsite had great views of one of the lakes," notes a Robbers Cave camper.
Scheduled activities: Some campgrounds offer organized events. "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," shares a Robbers Cave visitor.
Tips from RVers
Site selection considerations: Many RV sites have limitations worth researching. "We've stayed here multiple times and love it. Beautiful place. Some sites are a little tricky backing into with 29' trailer though," advises a Chicken Creek camper.
Pad conditions: Level sites are inconsistent throughout the area. "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," reports a Brooken Cove visitor, adding "We have a 13.5 ft tall and 45 ft long fifth wheel. Mosquitoes were pretty bad so be prepared."
Utility connections: Water and electrical hookups often require additional equipment. "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 who explains that "the only disadvantage to this park is some sites share water."
