Best Cabin Camping near Stringtown, OK

Cabin rentals in southeastern Oklahoma offer convenient lakeside lodging near Stringtown. McGee Creek State Park provides eight camping huts with air conditioning, heating, and fireplaces, positioned along the lakeshore at Potapo Hill. Each hut contains bunk beds and a picnic table but lacks private bathrooms, instead providing shared facilities. "The cabins are adorable and their general store was so cute! They have a community kitchen anyone can use," noted a visitor to K River Campground. Hugo Lake State Park features two-bedroom "resort" cabins with full bathrooms and kitchens, plus primitive cabins, seven of which include full bathrooms.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. McGee Creek's historic huts were constructed in the 1940s and provide minimal amenities without refrigerators, cooking facilities, or linens. Hugo Lake's resort cabins offer more comfortable accommodations with lakefront views, though a reviewer mentioned "it definitely wasn't resort quality. The TV was super old, there was a hole in the carpet, and water leaked in from the front door." Clayton Lake State Park and K River Campground maintain cabin rentals with varying amenity levels. Most locations permit pets, though policies differ by campground. Reservations are recommended, particularly during summer months.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Experienced cabin campers recommend bringing a mini refrigerator and portable cooking equipment for extended stays in basic cabins. McGee Creek's huts have space for air mattresses but provide no cooking facilities beyond outdoor grills. K River Campground offers a community kitchen for guest use. The K River general store stocks basic supplies, while other parks have limited on-site provisions. Hugo Lake cabins include full kitchens with standard appliances. Bathrooms range from primitive shared facilities to private full bathrooms depending on the cabin category and location.

    McGee Creek State Park Campground

    Short drive from the city and escape

    We met the camp host who assisted us in finding our spot. We had a site far from anyone else and had a lakeside camp spot. This made our site feel huge. My favorite moment was when I was able to strip bare in the moonlight and dance on the shore. It feels very private & peaceful

    The sites themselves were awesome. We opted for a site with electricity and our site had a newly built & paved platform/deck with the picnic table, grill, and light hook. The camp host suggested we pop our tent on the pavement but we found a suitable spot so we could stake our tent in.

    The bathroom were clean and easily accessible though depending on where your site is you may end up wanting to drive to the bathroom. Lol

    I almost for got to tell you that there are cabins here. Very basic simple structures with bunk beds, a table inside, a fireplace, & screened in porch. On our way out of the campgrounds we drove by to take a peak & saw a ranger there who allowed us to pop in to see. She recommended a visit to McGee Creek during winter. Less visited & they get snow. How peaceful!

    McGee Creek State Park Campground

    Hidden Gem

    McGee creek State Park is a beautiful state Park. It has beautiful campsites nestled along the lake shore. Their campsites can accommodate big RVS. The lake is beautiful. The fishing is great from boat, shore or covered fishing dock. I love swimming and kayaking in the cool water. They also have campgrounds for people with horse. The lake is surrounded by the kiamiche mountains. There is no lights around the lake except at the park. Star gazing is amazing. The lake has 2 dams. The park has beautiful hiking trails going through the Pines. If you like to hike you can choose the type of hiking you want to do from just a few minutes hike or carry gear for camping in the forest. You have to sign in when you go hiking back country. I went hiking in the winter and because I took a trail that was new to me I was 5 minutes late getting back to the Ranger Station and when I came out of the Forrest their was a search team assembling. Very embarrassed but it felt good to know if I had been lost or injured they would have found me. The state Park also have 8 camping huts that are air condition and heated that have a fireplace, screened in porch that you can relax and look out over the lake. They are nestled in the Pines along the shore at Potapo Hill.They are unique. They were built back in the 40s I believe by WPA. The huts have a set of bunk beds, picnic table, heat and air, fireplace, fireplace, barbecue grill. The huts do not have bathrooms in each hut but have shared bathrooms outside that are clean and kept up. The huts are not equipped with refrigerator, cook stove or bed linens. So if I'm going for a few days or longer I take a mini fridge, hot burners for cooking. Basically this is camping with the luxury of having a roof over your head with the comfort of heat and air without bugs bitting. The huts have plenty of room for 2 queen size air up mattresses. They also give good discount for vets, military and disabled.

    Cabin rental

    We rented a resort cabin for a night in May of 2020. We opted for one of their 16 “resort” cabins. These cabins have 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom and kitchen and a nice porch overlooking the lake. The cabin was pretty nice compared to most state park cabins but it definitely wasn’t resort quality. The TV was super old, there was a hole in the carpet, and water leaked in from the front door all over the living room floor. (However, it was raining super hard that day). They also have 10 primitive cabins. 7 of which have a full bathroom.

    Before the rain started, we were able to have a picnic at the picnic pavilion near the swim beach. It had good quality tables and a nice grill and was next to a playground.

    We didn’t tent camp or stay in an RV but we drove through some of the campgrounds to check it out. One of the RV areas looked pretty nice with paved pads but the other was a little more rugged with unpaved pads. From what we could tell, the tent area looked decent. Sites were grassy and mowed. But they just had the pit toilets instead of a bathroom with flush toilets and showers.

    We weren’t able to hike any trails due to the rain so I can’t comment on those.

    Overall, it seems like a pretty good state park. Especially if you like the lake activities.

    McGee Creek State Park Campground

    Private balconies overlooking the lake

    I had never heard of McGee Creek State park but had a blast here last weekend! We stayed right on the water at Potapo Landing. Definitely the nicest campsite I’ve seen. Aside from electricity, water, picnic table, fire pit and grill, each site also had their own deck! We got lucky as our site was not directly next to other campers, however most sites were pretty close together. It seemed like many of the RVs that were parked were there permanently (or at least for a very long time). Every now and then we’d catch a whiff of sewage smell but other than that it was very quiet and peaceful weekend.

    K River Campground

    What a great find!

    Staff were amazing. So helpful and so friendly. The campground is a work in progress but they are doing a great job. The rv spots are shaded. Electric and water but no sewer if you’re close to the river which we were. The cabins are adorable and their general store was so cute! They have a community kitchen anyone can use! The river was low but very enjoyable. The only annoyance were the multitude of ATVs using the campground roads and the river bed instead of sticking to the ATV trails (and there are lots of them). Our particular neighbors didn’t acknowledge 11pm quiet time but everyone else did. Overall we will definitely be back soon!

    Hugo Lake Park

    2 issues

    I stopped at beautiful lake in May of 2020 while on my bikepacking tour across Oklahoma. I stayed 2 nights in one of the Northwest sights. Hardly any people, but it was in the middle of the week. I stayed in a tent... the grounds were awesome and the full bathroom/showers were spotless. Very well kept However, I noticed within a few hours of setting up camp that roaches started invading my gear. By the end of my second night, I saw more than 10 roaches in various spots in and out of my gear. I even found one packed into one of my bike bags when I got home... dead, luckily. My other complaint is that the noise from neighbors was allowed to go on... only ended by them going to sleep around 2am. They have a noise ordnance clearly posted with a time limit... while the rangers drove through the park regularly, the noise ordinance was not enforced. The other parties besides me we’re all together as a large group, so if I complained, they would’ve known it was me, so I didn’t say anything. I probably should have just asked to be moved

    Camping in the rain!

    This place was pretty busy the weekend we camped here but we booked early and found a spot away from others. The water is brown but nice and cold for the summer so we couldn’t complain! We got some rain which sucks but we never let a little rain ruin our camping adventures. Would definitely come back to check out the cabins and camp again!

    K River Campground

    Loved it

    We learned about this campground through the owners activities with Veterans. We stayed for 7 days and we were able to have totally relaxed days as well as very active days. Right next to the river for kayaking, canoeing or just relaxing. Off-road vehicle trails a petting zoo on site. Check the web site for activities, there may be live music or a large gathering scheduled which may or may not be your thing. The only reason I rated it 4 stars is that it’s a work in progress. New cabins were being added and more trails were being cut while we were there.

    McGee Creek State Park Campground

    Nice State Park for Fishing

    McGee Creek is a great park if you enjoy camping and fishing with plenty of opportunity to do so both from the shore line and a boat. On the small side for a state park, it still has plenty of tent sites and RV sites for everyone to enjoy. The park boasts updated bathrooms, fire rings and tables. We didn't find the hiking trails when we were here but will be back to explore soon.


Guide to Stringtown

Camping cabins near Stringtown, Oklahoma provide outdoor accommodations within the Kiamichi Mountains region, where elevations range from 600 to 2,500 feet. Southeastern Oklahoma experiences hot summers with temperatures often exceeding 90°F and mild winters with occasional snow. Most cabin sites in this area are situated near reservoirs created by the Army Corps of Engineers, including McGee Creek Lake and Lake Texoma.

What to do

Fishing from multiple locations: McGee Creek State Park offers fishing opportunities from shorelines, boats, and covered fishing docks. "McGee Creek is a great park if you enjoy camping and fishing with plenty of opportunity to do so both from the shore line and a boat," notes a visitor to McGee Creek State Park.

Hiking trails of varying difficulty: Explore trails from short walks to challenging backcountry routes. "There is another area about 1.5 miles away called Buster Height campground. This is where the swim beach and another boat dock is," mentions a McGee Creek camper. Another visitor adds, "On the other side of the lake (about a 25-30 minute drive) is the natural scenic recreation area. There are a ton of hiking trails that lead to backpacking campsites."

Stargazing: The area offers excellent night sky viewing with minimal light pollution. A camper at Clayton Lake State Park shares, "If you love getting the full effect of beautiful sunrises, sunsets, and stars - this may be the perfect spot for you to watch the skies! If you check dark-skies maps, you'll see that Clayton Lake is right on the edge of the section of SE Oklahoma with the least light-pollution."

What campers like

Secluded tent sites: Many campers appreciate the privacy available at certain campgrounds. "We camped at tent hill #3. The thing we really liked about this particular site was that there are only 4 tent sites here, so it's secluded and nice and quiet," explains a visitor to McGee Creek State Park.
