"Greenleaf State Park is a gem in eastern Oklahoma. This state park offers fishing, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, and a splash pad to cool off at!"
"One really great thing about the summer is that a pair of Osprey have begun nesting across highway 10! So neat to see the pair nesting in Oklahoma.
The hiking trails need some maintenance."
"Its right on the side of the road, next to Grand Lake. Being on the lake, it made sense that most of the campers were there to play on the water. The campground is really three campgrounds."
"Good access to Lake Tenkiller and most of the sites here have some sort of Lake view. A little highway noise can be heard from the Chickasaw loop, but it is not too bad."
$10 - $50 / night
"I stayed in spot 13 near the boat ramp. Still very quiet! Only noise came from an elderly mans lil yippie dog 😡 which never shut up and shit wherever it felt!"
"On peninsula over looking lake and marina. No water, but electric here. Quiet, out of the way from others. Park has multiple swimming opportunities. We did not try bathhouse."
$10 - $50 / night
"Store outside gate. Gates going in locked at 10:00 p.m. and open at 6:00 a.m."
"We had a great spot located 200 yards from the lake. Also had the boat dock just on the other side of us. Great place to stay, friendly staff!"
$23 - $50 / night
"Located in the foothills of the Ozarks in eastern Oklahoma on crystal clear Tenkiller Lake, a COE project from the mid 1950’s on the Illinois River. We stayed on site 18 which is gravel W/E (50A)."
"Lots of room to roam, Plenty of access to the water for boats (multiple ramps) or wading/swimming. Plenty of sites to choose from some shaded, some by the water. A few full hookups but not many."
"This place has everything, movie theater, horse riding, a train that goes around the park, golf carts, tons of activities for the entire family... Swiming pool and all..."
"This was our first camping trip in Oklahoma and we stayed in the shady grove rv campground. There are a few sections for Rvs and I think this is one of the nicer ones."
"We had tree line behind us and shade for some parts of the day. We don’t have a boat but we have kayaks and we went and put in on the north side of the lake and went out to goat island."
$23 - $50 / night
"Staryhorn Park is a gym on Lake Tenkiller. The park is clean and well maintained, with great views of the surrounding hills and sparkling lake waters."
"This park has a swimming hole, playground, canoeing, boat ramps, 2 bath houses, gorgeous lake views, plenty tent, and RV lots. $18-$20 per night, depending on your site for tents. $20-50 for RV depending"
"They also have normal cabin rental and tiny home rentals that were perfectly positioned around campground and fishing pond. My only complaint would be that the sites are really compact."
"Also hiking trails. Also some tent sites. There is a whole new section for Class A and large 5th wheel campers now."
$14 / night
"It's a beautiful spot surrounded by big rocks. The only complaint is the restrooms are quite dirty, and the shower doesn't have cold water."
"Have stayed here multiple times in the past and it’s exactly as stated - a lake campsite. The view is beautiful over one of the prettiest lakes in the region."
ScoutMy wife and I camped here and road our dirt bikes out the next morning. You can drive right up to your campsite, this is on private property. There are several tent spots and also 3 cabins, small medium and large. There is a big hangout spot with a big fire place and chairs already set up, it also has 2 big overhead lights so you’re not completely in the dark. They also have a restroom available for anyone with showers! Everything was very neat inside and out! The owners of the place are absolutely great!! The Buckhorn trails run right through there property. I HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS CAMPSITE!!!
TravelerFishing , boating nice host .
ScoutIf you are looking for a nice place on the Illinois River to camp, float the river, set shuttle or just hang out, this is a very nice place. You will enjoy the privacy compared to other campgrounds in the area that have large crowds. Book early as it fill up fast and they do not offer more than one or two spaces per day. The campsites are large and open with lots of shade trees and could easily accommodate much larger groups if needed . Be careful when camping, as it is near the river and if the water gets high, you will need to move up to the higher bank.
GuideWe stayed in what appeared to be originally tent sties. On peninsula over looking lake and marina. No water, but electric here. Quiet, out of the way from others. Park has multiple swimming opportunities. We did not try bathhouse. Showers and dump station sparse for such a large campground
ScoutFriendly helpful staff. Decent lots. Many are shaded. Several things for kids including a pool.
GuideThis small city park in a small Oklahoma town was a pleasant surprise. Had water and electric if desired or dry camping. Near the Arkansas river. Locals that drive thru the park were very friendly. Camp host were very friendly. The night time was quiet except for occasional train. We felt very safe. The park was very clean. $10 night
TravelerParked our van overnight while traveling west on I-40. It's $8/night ($4 if you're 62 or older) paid with cash in an honor box. No electric hookups, but there is a portapotty on site. The site is on the banks of the Arkansas River and fairly quiet, other than a few trucks driving over the nearby bridge or an occasional train. We were the only ones in the park.
TravelerWe were in Bentonville, Arkansas and decided to take a gamble on this and it was about 40 minute drive when we got there. There was plenty of space for the dog to roam without getting into high grass where ticks would be festering and it was a sweet little private getaway for a night before driving on. We highly recommend. Starlink didn't work but Verizon did for phone calls only.
TravelerWe spent the night in the parking lot in our Sprinter Winnebago Revel van. The view, sounds and feels of the natural dam are stunning, relaxing and cool. A bit muddy for our dog, but great view for coffee in morning. We mountain biked Devil's Racetrack earlier and relaxed here - about 20 minute drive. The sheriff drove by early Sunday morning but didn't speak with us. Some local traffic/Saturday night dates taking photos of natural dam. It stormed at night but we were on the right side of the dam in case it flash flooded. Starlink and Verizon very spotty here. Overall a really nice campsite and we were grateful we made the drive.
