Fishing enthusiasts and lake campers will find The Point Campground positioned on a hillside overlooking Lake of the Arbuckles, with both RV sites accommodating rigs up to 60 feet and walk-in tent platforms tucked among mature trees. The campground divides into upper and lower loops, with the upper section better suited for larger RVs while the lower area caters to tent and car camping.
The walk-in tent sites require only a short carry from parking areas but offer notable privacy between campsites. Teresa T. notes it's a "unique campground covering a hill, but with numerous views of the lake." Multiple reviewers mention the well-spaced layout and tree coverage that provides natural separation. Cell service remains spotty throughout most of the campground, with one reliable signal area near the restroom facilities.
Lake access for fishing draws many visitors, though the campground sits above the water rather than directly lakeside. The recreation area's main attractions—including waterfalls, natural springs, and the nature center—require a drive rather than walking access. Wildlife activity increases at dusk, with deer commonly passing through campsites and showing little fear of campers.
The National Park Service maintains clean restroom facilities with solar-heated timed showers, and sites include picnic tables with level gravel pads. Generator hours run 7-9 AM and 7-9 PM, though multiple campers report rarely hearing generators during their stays. Erin-Frannie R. observed that "when the sun starts setting the wildlife start to appear." Reservations fill quickly during peak seasons, particularly weekends, though tent sites often remain available when RV spots book solid.
The campground serves as a quieter alternative to nearby Guy Sandy Campground — Chickasaw National Recreation Area, with Sulphur's services including Walmart located five miles away for supplies and fuel.
