GuideChoctaw RV Park
This park is a first-class resort!
We needed an overnight spot on our way back home to Texas, and we're so glad that we picked this park! Easy on and easy off of Highway 69, and It's located right next to the Choctaw Casino complex.
Parking for registration is located right by the office, and all the park staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The road from the highway to the park is very easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate. Even though it's not too far from the main road, we didn't hear any traffic noise at all.
We were assigned to pull-thru site number 41. All the sites are concrete and appear fairly level. Our site was level side to side, and a few inches off from front to rear. There are very few shade trees for the majority of the park sites. 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 okay, and the in-ground sewer connection was conveniently located. There is also a picnic table and a covered trash can located at each site.
Bathrooms, Showers, laundry facilities, and the pool are all located at the registration office building and are in great shape. In fact, they are the cleanest and nicest facilities that we've ever experienced at an RV park. They are on par with what you would expect at a 5-Star resort.
Wi-Fi, Satellite, OTA: there is free Wi-Fi in the park with numerous repeater towers, so each site has a fairly strong signal- we achieved 101 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up. We got AT&T 5G with 3 bars and achieved 330 Mbps down and 11.3 Mbps up. If you need clear access for satellite reception, trees will not be an issue. Also, you can pick up approximately 50 OTA stations with good HD quality reception.
Dog Park: They have a nice fenced-in park that is divided into two separate areas. They provide doggie bags and a trash can.
Amenities: Lots of items are listed on their website. They have a propane area where you can fill your existing tanks, exchange tanks, or even buy new tanks. They also have RV supplies and parts located in the office area.
Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay. They provide free shuttle service to the Casino Complex that has plenty of restaurants and a multi-screen movie theater. The park map provides a very accurate rendition of the park. See my attached photos for more details.
Bottom line- this park is owned by the Choctaw Nation and is part of the Casino Complex. So, the RV park is maintained at an exceptional level since income from the RV park is not critical. They just want their RV guests to have a first-class experience. Even if you don't gamble or dine out, take the free shuttle over to the casino complex just to see what it offers. It's truly a Vegas-like experience. This park deserves its high rating, and I do not hesitate to recommend it!

Jennifer O.LegendThe Point Campground — Chickasaw National Recreation Area
Well spaced sites and quiet!
Really beautiful scenery; the sites are pretty well spaced with the upper loop being better for larger RVs and the lower loop more for tent and car camping. Sites are extremely well maintained and the campground is very peaceful. We stayed in 42 which only had one neighbor but our fav site was 54. It is farther out than Buckhorn but closer proximity to a wal mart and just perfect for us. Buckhorn is busier.

Elephant Rock Campground — Lake Murray State Park
Lake front site
Love our stay at Lake Murray. The park was very quiet while we visited. We opted for a back in sit along the lake. The site was plenty big enough for our 27 ft trailer and tow vehicle.
Teresa T.LegendThe Point Campground — Chickasaw National Recreation Area
Nicest campground in the park
Unique campground covering a hill, but with numerous views of the lake. Really? Like the walk in tent sites, I think they're quiet and private and really well laid out. Has all the amenities of formal campground, including a very nice bathroom.
Guide to Sulphur
Sulphur, Oklahoma camping options extend across the Chickasaw National Recreation Area at an elevation of approximately 1,100 feet where the eastern woodlands meet the western prairies. Seasonal temperatures fluctuate dramatically, with summer highs regularly exceeding 90°F while winter nights can dip below freezing. The region's limestone bedrock creates unique ecosystems where springs, streams, and lakes provide year-round water recreation opportunities in an otherwise semi-arid landscape.
What to do
Hiking opportunities: Buzzards Roost Campground at Lake Murray State Park offers access to several nature trails. "We chose this site which was conveniently located near a nature trail with a beautiful lookout point, as well as a hiking trail," notes one visitor. The campground is situated near Tucker Tower, providing historical context to your outdoor adventures.
Fishing excursions: The Blue River Campground is especially popular during trout season. "Great place to camp. Stayed during Thanksgiving, after Blue River was stocked with Trout, fishing was awesome," shares a camper. Remember that Oklahoma fishing licenses are required for camping here, even if you don't plan to fish.
Water activities: The clear waters at Lake Murray provide excellent visibility for swimming and paddling. "The water is nice cool water year round, and clear. I love my time in the Arbuckle wilderness, lots to do. You can boat, hike, trail ride, got into town and go to the Cultural Center," explains a visitor describing recreational options beyond the glamping accommodations mentioned elsewhere.
What campers like
Private wooded sites: The Point Campground offers secluded tent camping areas. "We found all of the tent sites at The Point were empty. I don't know why, the energy was much calmer and quieter. The tent sites are walk-in, not too far from the parking spots. Each are pretty secluded and quiet," explains a camper who visited during a typically busy Memorial Day weekend.
Wildlife viewing: Beyond the typical deer sightings, the area hosts some unexpected fauna. "Watch for creepy crawlies; I had no idea they had tarantulas," warns one camper about The Point Campground. These native Oklahoma tarantulas are generally harmless despite their intimidating appearance.
Clean facilities: Marietta Landing Campground receives praise for its maintenance. "Recently remodeled, the campsites in the RV loop are all pretty spacious, level, and paved," notes a visitor. The campground sits on a quiet cove with rocky shores suitable for launching kayaks.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Many campgrounds fill quickly during peak seasons. For yurt camping near Sulphur, Oklahoma, advance planning is essential, especially at popular locations like Turner Falls Park. "Remember make sure that you buy your tickets ahead of time because it gets so packed on the weekends nobody can get in," advises one camper.
Weather preparedness: Pack for temperature variations, particularly if staying in non-climate-controlled accommodations. "I camped here in November and was not at all prepared for how cold it was at night," recalls a camper at Turner Falls, highlighting the need for appropriate cold-weather gear even in Oklahoma's mild climate.
Campsite selection: At Buckhorn Campground, site leveling can be challenging. "Just beware if you are camping in an RV, the site is VERY unlevel! We we're in a pop up camper and had one tire up off the ground at least 6 inches with our Baleveler," warns a visitor who otherwise enjoyed the location.
Tips for camping with families
Swimming locations: Little Niagara offers shallow swimming areas ideal for children. "Nearby swimming areas at Little Niagara and Travertine Creek were very packed during the day, so we only visited during the early morning when the water was very cold," advises a camper, suggesting timing visits to avoid crowds.
Noise considerations: RC's Campground & Quick Stop provides a quieter alternative to busier state park campgrounds. "Good place for quiet time," notes a visitor, making it suitable for families seeking peaceful surroundings away from crowded areas.
Educational opportunities: Structured park activities provide learning experiences. "Great educational programs on nature and Native American history. Swimming is amazing, you can play in springs and waterfalls," shares a camper from Buckhorn Campground, highlighting the educational value beyond typical yurt accommodations in Sulphur, Oklahoma's camping scene.
Tips from RVers
Dump station access: Most campgrounds in the area provide dump stations, but location and accessibility vary. "The dump station worked as it should and had easy access," reports a visitor to The Point Campground, noting this important but often overlooked amenity.
Generator policies: Many campgrounds restrict generator hours to minimize noise. At The Point Campground, "The generator hours are 7AM-9AM, 7PM-9PM. We didn't hear a single generator over our 4 days there," notes one camper, indicating good compliance with noise regulations.
Site utilities: Water connections sometimes require longer hoses than standard. "We didn't realize we would need 50 feet of hose just to hook up to the water," explains a camper at Lake Murray State Park, highlighting the importance of bringing adequate equipment for your campsite's specific layout.
