Tucked away in the hills of eastern Oklahoma, Greenleaf State Park offers spectacular scenery and is a family-friendly state park. The park includes Greenleaf Lake as well as cabins, campgrounds, family recreation facilities and nature hiking trails. The lake cabins and other facilities at Greenleaf State Park were built in the 1930s by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The original buildings, constructed of native stone, remain a lasting and beautiful tribute to those who built them.

The park has 16 cabins with bathrooms, kitchens with full-size appliances, heat and air. Dishes, cooking utensils, linens and towels are also provided. There are fireplaces in 10 of the cabins. All cabins have satellite television. The cabins are approximately 350 square feet in size. The park also has the "Cabin on the Lake," designed to meet the challenges of the physically disabled. Pets are allowed in all cabins for a small nightly fee. Firewood is available for purchase and firewood is not provided to cabins. A total of 14 cabins will sleep up to four guests, one cabin will sleep two guests and one cabin will sleep up to eight guests between two bedrooms.

In addition, the park features RV campsites, some with 50 amp electric and full hookups, as well as tent campsites. All RV and tent campsites must be reserved online. Additional amenities include a community building, pavilion, enclosed shelter, outdoor shelter, seasonal marina with grill and heated fishing dock. Be sure to visit the office and pick up a wrist band for the splash pad and 18-hole miniature golf course before enjoying the swim area, amphitheater, discovery center, playgrounds, hiking trails, volleyball courts and basketball courts. 

Motorized personal watercraft is not allowed on Greenleaf Lake. The kids' pond allows children 16 and under to fish at no charge with no permit required. Located in Braggs, the park also offers activities such as wildlife viewing and holiday events.

Greenleaf State Park Campground

We came to this campground after hours and were greeted by the friendly camp host. This was a stop on a cross country road trip. The sites were clean, we were on the water. There were a couple sets of restrooms. The ones closest to us had pay showers. However, if we walked a little farther we could find free showers. There were flush toilets and a fire ring as well as a picnic table at every site. The night sounds were fun, lots of frogs or toads or something like that that croaked all night. The boat dock was lit up so that was kind of cool too. The campground was pretty empty when we were there, it was the Monday of Memorial Day, all the campers had gone home. They did say that they were fully booked the night before and people were camping anywhere they could pitch a tent. Lots of trees and a pretty drive in.

Very friendly camp hosts

I would give this park 5 stars, but really there is one thing (out of the park's control) that is keeping me from doing so: this park has a tick and chigger infestation. We visited in the fall of 2015 and were practically eaten alive! The campsites are right near the water, have a wonderful kid's area, nice boat ramps, and walkable access to trails. The trails are long and wooded. We hiked the entire 10 mile loop and it was reasonably marked. Within close proximity to town if you need anything. Bring some serious bug spray though!

Beautiful park....but...

I frequent Greenleaf State Park and even used to work there. This park is small but gorgeous with numerous camp grounds ranging from RV standards to back country roughing it. There are several activities for kids and adults like volleyball courts, marina boat rentals (ranging from a kayak to pontoons and speed boats), playgrounds, and beautiful trails. There's even a paved walking trail for those who aren't really outdoorsy but want to experience nature all the same! The swinging bridge trail is really unique as there is an actual swinging bridge that kids and adults can enjoy equally. If you're looking for a family-oriented or solo friendly, beautiful, hole-in-the wall, kitschy kind of state park, Greenleaf is the park for you!

Local Camper

The campground is a mix bag.  The spots are tightly pack in some spots and some spots are not as shady as we would have liked on a hot summers weekend.  The facility's are well maintained.  The best park of Greanleaf is the hiking terrain.  There are serval trails that give you various distance to hike.  This is a busy area but well worth the visit.

Greenleaf SP

Animals! Turtles, deer that like to be petted, frogs croaking at night, owls talking, beavers splashing in the lake and turkeys eating snakes! 

Always an adventure

Trails were maintained well. Lake was not overly active. Showers were a bit of anomaly. Had to pay .50 cents for 3 minutes. wasn’t bad just awkward. Shouldn’t shower while camping anyways but overall good trip especially for Labor Day Weekend. Will camp here again. 

Labor Day Weekend

It was great. I took my boys, 8 and 18 year old. Very quiet and felt secluded even though the campsites were about 75% full. Tent camped with electrical hook-ups which I wasn't expecting. I think it was only$14 a days. Went hiking the next day on the trails around the lake and mountain

Quiet and peaceful

Labor Day weekend we camped at Greenleaf State Park in the Gobbler Ridge Campground site number #18. This area was nice and spacious. We didn’t feel like we were squashed into our neighbors. It was however “Labor Day” weekend which normally means bad weather and let me tell you we weren’t surprised Saturday night when the sky just opened up and started to pour. The site we had was partially shaded but kind of a small valley so after the rain it was pretty soggy. There are other campgrounds close by and stuff to do. The park is in the process of constructing a splash pad next to the miniature golf course. On Saturday nights they do a wagon ride with a guide that talks about the area. Bummer for us cause one family 23 people took up the whole ride. Holiday weekend.....maybe should have two wagons? All in all I think we had a good time and would definitely recommend this park. 

Labor Day Weekend 

I visited Greenleaf for a short trip in the fall with my oldest son.  It was a short overnight excursion so I would add a caveat that we didn’t get to do much in the park.  With that said, it’s a solid little park.  There’s a miniature golf course, though it isn’t well kept.  The sites at the entry to the park are pretty large with water and power.  Some have sewer as well.  The nicer camping area is near the lake, which is very nice and the views are great.  I reserved my spot at the last minute so I was not able to get a spot by the lake.  It’s a great park for anyone wanting to do a lot of fishing or boating.  There are two playgrounds; the one at the front of the park where we stayed is dated and frankly not very good.  However, the one near the lake is much better.  The bathhouses were better than most in Oklahoma and they are a single large bathroom with a toilet and shower head.  This was perfect for us bc it was easy to bath my son without worrying he would be encroaching on anyone’s space.  There is also a kid fishing pond which my son did well in.  There’s a lot of catfish in the pond.  The only negative I could add, if it is negative, would be that this is a heavily trafficked hunting campground.  The woodlands surrounding the park are used by hunters all fall.  While we were camping almost every site was occupied by hunters.  They would all leave early in the morning which was kind of annoying, but it made the park virtually empty from the time we woke up until late in the afternoon when they all start to return.  Don’t be surprised if you visit in the fall and you’re the only one not wearing camo and hunter’s orange.  Also, for anyone wanting to group camp at Greenleaf, there’s a great building available to reserve at the back of the loop in the entrance to the park that is across from the bathhouse and playground.  It is completely enclosed, has a/c, large fridge, sink and microwave.  While we were there, several groups of hunters had reserved this to muse as sort of a home base where they kept food and other things of that nature.  They had set up several folding tables and chairs and I assume they used it as a place to gather for meals.  It’s a great spot for anyone wanting to camp with a large family, church group or just a multi family trip.  And to that end, the sites at Greenleaf are arranged in such a way that it is a great park for multiple families to camp together, with lots of shared/communal green space for activities.  That’s particular true in the loop closest to the entrance where we stayed.  Lastly, during our trip, there was a lot of construction going on as they are completely remodeling the visitor center, which looked like it will be quite big.  I don’t know what will be included in the new building, but whatever it is will likely enhance your experience.  I would add though that it was clearly in the early stages of construction so you may want to call ahead and check the status, as the construction work and equipment was really loud.   Overall, it’s a nice, tranquil park with some great views.  There isn’t a ton to do at the park beyond typical campground activities unless your planning to use the lake for fishing and boating.  Hiking trails are short and easy in difficulty.  I enjoyed our stay and will probably go back bc my son loved the kid fishing pond and miniature golf course on site.  I’m giving it 3 stars bc they need to update the playground and generally give the park a bit of a facelift.  

Solid Weekend Getaway

If you dig the crowds and the splash park scene and the loud music... hit it in the summer. But if you like it quiet and peaceful check it out in the winter or early spring. Fall colors are beautiful but attract a crowd. 

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. The bridge has been closed for some time but there are ways around and the backcountry is open for camping too which is rare in a state park. 

The campsites along the lake at Cypress Row are great along with the rest. Everything from primitive backcountry to full hookups is available here. 

The fishing form the dock is fruitful. From a boat even better. 

The store is nice. The owners are nice. The loud music they play is not as nice. 

Overall a great escape not far from Tulsa. 

A great off season getaway

Busy on summer weekends, the best time to visit is during the week or during the off-season. The park has been voted best in Oklahoma and it shows. Peaceful camping near the lake and additional sites on top of the hill give a variety of options. We’ve used tents and campers with enjoyment for both. The lake has rentals and a marina/restaurant that does not disappoint. 

As a bonus, there is a new splash pad that our kids enjoyed. The lake isn’t the best for swimming, so the splash pad works for the hot summer afternoons. 

Calm and Great Activities

We had a great experience at Greenleaf last weekend!  They moved us to a better site without even asking and the staff were very attentive and friendly.  There is a lot to do, paddle boat and canoes, fish, splash pad, putt putt, sand volleyball court, basketball hoop etc.  Lunch at the marina was tasty.  We had a great time on the hike to the hanging bridge.  We enjoyed this park a lot with our two young sons.

Weekend at Greenleaf

We love state campgrounds &amp; Greenleaf State Park is one of our faves. We also have an adult son in a wheelchair so we have to be careful about where we go. We want to be able to push him around and go on trails that are wheelchair friendly. This campground had that. They also have an accessible site that has a HUGE pad. We were in the middle of the tent camping area; but hey we had a good view of the water.

If you like fishing it has a heated fishing dock which is cool so you can fish in the winter when cold. They have cabins &amp; RV areas. 2 dump stations. There is water hookup. We were at the bottom of a hill but I say wheelchair friendly because I was able to wheel our son around the loops, into the heated dock, over to the marina on paved roads.

At the top of the hill is a splash pad, community picnic area ball field and paved trails which a wheelchair can go down. We prefer the accessible sit at bottom of hill since it was near the lake.

We’ll be back

We had a great time tent camping here on Labor Day Weekend. Beautiful park with grassy tent sites. Nice hiking trail. Bathrooms could stand to be updated. There is a marina where you can rent canoes and kayaks and buy supplies. There is a mini golf course too. The absolute best part of this park is the splash pad. It was the best splash pad we’ve been too. They had a cool slide and we had a blast. 

Greenleaf State Park

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! It also is home to The Cabin on the Lake, the first cabin built in Oklahoma for the physically challenged.

We stayed in the Cypress Row campground at site #6. 30 amp and water. No sewer, but dump station close by. This site was close to the bathhouse and lake. You could walk to the lake and fish off the docks or on the lake edge. The only disadvantage to this park is some sites share water. In our site we needed 50 ft of water hose and I would suggest bringing a “y” water connector. 

We enjoyed hiking the trails and our little one enjoyed the splash pad. The splash pad is fairly new and kept in great shape. It is a local favorite.

Pros:
Clean park
Lots of activities
Shade galore

Cons:
Some sites are shared water-bring extra hoses and a “y” connector


Fishing, Splash Pad, & Trails

Great campground and good camping experience it’s beautiful has great trails and just convenient just a really good trout fishing

Love this park

Hiked some of the trails here today. Good trails, fairly well marked, until the very end. No service in the woods of the trails, but T-Mobile reception through the campgrounds.  
Nice looking lake, clean bathrooms, easy access to trash cans. Campsites with grills, rv camps all looks really nice. Can't wait to book a tent site after what I've seen!

Local hike

Just a short drive from Tulsa, Greenleaf State Park is a great place for a getaway.  The park has tent, RV, and cabin accommodations along with one of the best gift shops in the Oklahoma State Park system.  A splash pad is available during the Summer but put-put is available anytime.  

RV sites are paved, and gravel, but could use some sewer hook up - dump stations are available and well equipped. 

Great staff made this a great weekend getaway!
