Billy Creek

CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Billy Creek, near Muse, Oklahoma, is a rustic campground that offers a peaceful escape for those looking to connect with nature. With its small number of sites, many right by the creek, it’s perfect for tent camping and enjoying the soothing sounds of rushing water.

This spot is all about simplicity—there's no electricity or running water, but visitors appreciate the vault toilets and the chance to truly unplug. Campers have mentioned the beautiful setting, with large trees providing shade and a fire ring at each site for cozy evenings. As one happy camper noted, “We set up camp right above the river and got to hear the river going over the rocks the whole time.”

For adventure seekers, there are plenty of nearby trails for hiking, ATV riding, and exploring the surrounding woods. The area is also great for swimming in the creek during warmer months, making it a fun spot for families. While some campers noted the lack of restrooms and other amenities, the overall vibe is relaxed and inviting, making it a great choice for those who enjoy a more primitive camping experience.

Perfect for me

NF site, no facilities. Very quiet, only heard the creek rushing on a weeknight. No lights, which I prefer. Vault toilet (didn’t use, I pack ‘it’ out. No site numbers. Mine had a nice little clamber down to the (what looks and feels to me like) the spring fed creek. I slept great!

Beautiful setting

Small 12 site, no reservation campgrounds for mostly tents. About half are on the creek and the views and running creek sounds are very relaxing. Downsides are there was no water, no restrooms (they were padlocked) and no electricity. The ATV trails are around camp and the noise from the machines buzzing by can be a lot, but it wasn’t a busy weekend so not too bad. All this was fine for us as we tent camp but the wife wasn’t happy about the restrooms being out of service. There are a lot of trails nearby that are mixed use (horses, ATV’s, hikers) and we had fun crossing the river and hiking. If you cross the river you will probably get wet feet but the hiking was great. Overall it was pretty and kept the family entertained and wanting to return. Summer time would be great to swim in the creek.

5 Stars are not enough for this campground!

We camped at Billy Creek in March 2019.  We were the only ones there which made it fabulous!  We set up camp right above the river and got to hear the river going over the rocks the whole time.  There was a easy and short little trail down to the river and lots of large rocks to hang out on.  The campsite has tons of big trees.  Each site has a fire ring, picnic table and grill.  Water is available, but not at each spot.  No electricity, no flushing potties, no showers, no sewer hookups, no wifi.  There are latrine bathrooms (2) in a small building near the entrance. There is an abundance of hiking trails, 4 wheeler/motorcycle trails and many trails that a full size SUV can do.  Lots of forest service roads to explore.  We stayed 3 nights and only saw people one day that came in to meet up and ride 4 wheelers.  We will definitely go back!
