    Blue River Camp

    Not free camping

    To enter the grounds you need a hunting/fishing license or a 3day wildlife conservation passport. The passport is for any activity on the grounds, excluding hunting or fishing and they are $51 currently.

    Blue River Camp

    Beautiful river

    The water was amazing and clean. We went on a Tuesday so there wasn’t any one else there. We did some awesome exploring up and down the river. There was so many campsites and they were all well maintained and flat. There is a huge flashing sign going into the area telling every adult to have a fishing/hunting license. The fishing however is not good. We stayed for 3 days and fished the whole time with no luck. There’s a really neat little spot south of the dam with a rope swing.

    Good times.

    Taught my two boys at 8 & 9 years old how to camp and fish there 31 years ago. Had many good times. Wish I could go back in time. 🥲 Did a lot of camping with the boys . Winter or fall was best. Large camp fire,many blankets. And a good tent. Still have my VCR tapes camping. . And the VCR player.😂😂 Would usually camp across the spill way 2nd area to the right. Also I'd recommend the last camping spot to the right at the very end you can walk down to the river and fish. Nice open area with trails to the river. Was always a Bass man but learned how to trout fish there. I would check when trout tournaments are going on. Gets very crowded. Wish I could go back in time. I've camped there when I was the only person camping. One of the things I didn't like was when camping trailers would come to camp . Sometimes you would hear their generators start up across the river but most of the time very nice and peaceful.  I always camped across the river. Highly recommend this place for family and someone that just wants peace and quiet which is most of the time out there. Would recommend going during the week, weekends tend to get a little crowded summertime. swimming and fishing. Wildlife. Before entering the river I would stop at Scotty's bait shop which 30 years ago had great breakfast all the supplies you need and Scotty was a really really nice guy let me fish on his property when my boys were small because we weren't catching anything at the river hopefully he's been doing well. Just remember… take with you what you brought and a little extra that someone left. Keep it clean and nice for our future campers.  The boys and I always brought shovel and toilet paper. At that time there was only one main brick bathroom. Usually too many hornets and wasp so we just dug a hole and buried it you know what I mean haha camping in the woods. Haven't been there in 20 plus years someday I'll go back set up a tent and reminisce. Hopefully it's still a nice place. Ed, from Wellston Oklahoma

    Camping & Disc Golf

    Numerous little spots to camp at. Disc golf course. Walking trails. Lots of history here. Look it up before you come visit or learn as you go. It's an amazing little area and soo very quiet and peaceful. Playground and little ponds to fish at. Cemetery is pretty old and interesting. Can't wait to come camp and explore more!

    Secluded and quiet

    We had had a blowout on our rv and needed to stay the night instead of finishing our travel they answered the phone on a Sunday which surprised me (I had call around) The lady at the desk was so helpful and informed us about discounts my husband was missing because of his service (National Guard Vet) which has been so greatly appreciated! The spot was unleveled but that’s no big deal if you have leveling blocks. Very beautiful and quiet when we visited in early August. The man in charge when we left was very helpful and mingled a moment with my husband before we headed home nice people and clean establishment definitely will be going back

    Blue River Camp

    Pleasant Surprise!😃

     When I arrived at the location to which my GPS directed me, I was a little concerned that there was just a building with bathrooms and three large dumpsters off to the side.

    If I had a been brave enough to drive my little Mustang down the gravel path that was on the opposite side of the road leading away from the restrooms, I would have found waterfront campsites along the Blue River, large boulder, formations to climb, and beautiful views.

    What I did, though, was continue down the road I had a been on and found a large dirt parking lot. There were fire pits and designated camping set up along one side of the parking lot, which seemed a little weird.

    There was a gravel road on the opposite side of the parking lot that led to the RV camping and a couple of tent sites along that road, so I chose one. The campsite was secluded with several paths that lead down to the river. 

    What I found to be the best part of this area was Hughes Crossing! It’s a waterfall that you can drive over. I did not attempt this in the mustang, but watched several trucks easily pass over.

    Not only is there a beautiful little waterfall that also substitutes as a bridge, but the area is perfect for swimming. There is a bit of green algae, but it is otherwise clear and refreshing.

    The only downside was the amount of trash that people had left. I think I might make it a new goal to try to carry out at least one or two grocery bags worth of other people’s trash so that I can hopefully leave places better than I found them.

    Beautiful Nature, BIG BIG Sky!

    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. So if your favorite Southeast Oklahoma spot is booked, give this little hidden treasure a shot!

    If you like foraging and looking for cold-season decomposers like I do, you'll find plenty of mushrooms and moss under the canopy.

    There are plenty of cheap B&Bs in the area as well if you want a really secluded trip into the forest - definitely one of my favs!

    Meh...

    We stayed one night. Park is small and full of what seem to be fulltime residents. It was quiet enough but wouldn't have stayed longer. Calling for a reservation was easy and friendly. Wouldn't be my first choice to stay again.

    Nice Lake front Campround

    This is a nice campground with decently wooded sites. The site I sated had water, electric, a picnic table, a fire pit and a lantern post. There was a flat spot to set up my tent. The campground had decent star views and was a short walk to clean pit toilets. The showers were a short drive away and were also clean.

    80 acres with 3 miles of trails to explore!

    Ashley here with The Dyrt. I want to extend a warm welcome to this property. River access less than a quarter mile away. UTV trails abound. Close to amenities but plenty of nature to explore. Give them a try and leave a review here!

    Numerous Sites!

    This is a review of scouting the area. Numerous sites to choose from, some pull thru, some back in. Water, tables, and fire pits at every site. Although the sites are close together there is plenty of space to spread out depending on how busy it is. Heavily shaded. Not sure how effective solar charging would be during summer months. We first scouted it on a Thursday, nobody was there. Pulled thru again a few days later and there were a number of hunters there. Plenty of space for big rigs. Pit toilets on sites, no trash. Would have stayed here, but opted for West Lake Crockett down the road due to stronger cell signal.

    Filthy old trailers

    Drove thru today to see what it's like. Um...no! Mostly old trailers that no one else will allow in their rv park because of age or condition. It's downright a trash hole that allows people to litter and trash all around their place. Clearly it's people who live here regularly and not travelers. No traveler thru the area would stay here. It's unkempt!

    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!

    Nice, quiet campground

    Reservation procedure is seamless via Recreation.gov. Needs signage at main entrance with directions of campsite numbers. Our rig is 50’ and is probably the max size for this campground. Any larger is going to have difficulty maneuvering. Bathhouse very clean. Dump station easy to access.

    Get there early

    Great campground! Plenty of dispersed sites, with no cell phone access (visible on Verizon towers) which makes the trip more enjoyable.
