Hulbert

The Best Camping Near Hulbert, Oklahoma

Sequoyah Bay is on the west side of Fort Gibson lake, not far from Wagner.  The campsites are space out for privacy and close to the lake.  The Corp maintains this campground well.  There is a boat dock that provided a nice place to throw your pole in. 

Hidden

This place has several loops surrounding the lake with water access nearly everywhere close by. The bathrooms are dated but sufficient. The grounds contain a basketball/ tennis court and a marina to fish from. Spots have tables and fire rings and are fairly spaced out. 

Wonderful Campspots for RV's and Campers

When we visited it had recently flooded and the trails were covered. It is a decent family park with several different areas to camp. I enjoy the golf course and the horse back riding. The park is dated but it is a fun place to spend the weekend.

Standard

Super clean park with lots to do without having to leave the park! Bring quarters for the showers. Love that they do that. I’ll help our park system any way I can :) It’s near Muskogee so if you’re in town for the Renaissance festival this is a great camping option!

A great state park!

I have been coming to Sequoyah for no less than 25 years and always enjoy a nice camping trip back. The first thing about SSS is that it is huge! The park has no less than 4 separate camping areas with completely different amenities and different sides of the peninsula. You can choose to have full hook ups or go more primitive. There is a marina on site that allows you to rent various boats, a pleasant lakeside golf course, a horse stable to take a nice trail ride and that is all before you get to the early state park resort! The most pleasant thing I have seen in years is that this park is actually getting some updates! New trails and trail maintenance were witnessed the last time I was there and the resort went through a renovation several years ago. I would still expect 50's state parkitecture but you have a ton of options for recreation. The camping bathrooms range from decent to non existent depending on which loop you camp in.

Ft. Gibson Lake retreat

Choctaw camping area has full hookups, nice concrete pads &amp; concrete picnic tables. Limited amount of shade. Water access is a short distance away.

Choctaw Area - Full Hook ups, pull through, concrete pads

For an RV/Trailer camper this place is amazing. Multiple campgrounds within the park. Our favorite is Choctaw with full hookups. Sites are cement and level. All have table, charcoal grill and fire ring. Close to the lake, about 100 yards. Other area are just as good. Other areas don't have septic but each has a dump station. Tent campers have nice areas also.

Updated and awesome

Great for family tips! Lots of camping spots and a bunch of hiking. Good area to fish and boat as well.

Sequoyah state park 

We were so surprised with this park because we’d hardly even heard of it. The campsites were plentiful with beautiful views of the lake. It was early in the season so not very busy. The sites were clean and easy to navigate. We enjoyed the nature center, getting to view a bald eagle and coyote. The lodge is very nice and would definitely recommend to someone who doesn’t want to rough it. I’d like to come back in the summer to take advantage of the pool. We walked along the fitness trail and tried out the recommended activities for fun. We then took one of the longer trails that winds throughout the park. These trails were not well marked but they made for a great Oklahoma hike. We fished near the group camp area as a storm was brewing and we wanted to be near a picnic shelter. The lake is very pretty, would definitely recommend for kayak or boating. The o my issues we had was, we needed a shower and the camp showers which are coin operated did not have hot water as indicated. Made for a very chilly rinse. All in all we will be back!

Beautiful park

We stayed in Seminole, site #22 mid July 2019. Very peaceful campground and this site has awesome amounts of shade from late morning through the rest of the day. Lots of room between sites and grounds were well cared for. This state park is still recovering from all the flooding earlier this year but still has lots to do and see with lodge, golf course, paved trails and a nature center, etc. Our family has agreed we would like to stay here again anytime and are planning to come in fall for sure. 

Inaugural RV Trip

Great camping with family. We enjoyed a nice tent camping trip, really nice camping area and enjoyable getaway. Highly recommend.

Great Camping with the Family

We just bought our camper and this was the first place we came.  The staff have been helpful and the site was super clean and easy to use.  We had full hookups at the Choctaw site.  We came in March so we couldn’t do any water activities but we went on several beautiful hikes.  There were basketball and tennis courts and lots of play grounds.  The park itself is beautiful and we could not have picked a better place for our first trip.

First trip

We camped at the Choctaw tent campground, which sits right on the lake. The trails were so fun and the park is beautiful. Bathrooms and showers were clean. However, we found this campground to be overcrowded with many people coming to the lake for the day. Campsites were very close together. Additionally the quiet hours were not enforced. If we were to go back, we would try to book a site at Seminole campground and go during off season to enjoy the trails. 

Beautiful but overcrowded 

(See below for my updates) 
Great park for anyone wanting to catch a round of golf while camping. Sequoyah is very near Tahlequah, Oklahoma so there’s easy access to food and other shopping needs on a trip. The main pro for Sequoyah is the golf course, which large flows along the shore line of Fort Gibson Lake, over 19,000 acres of water. The course is really well maintained for a state park; however, you should be aware that during a recent trip to another OK state park, I played a round of golf and was told by the course pro that Sequoyah is turning their 18 hole course into a 9 hole course bc the campground is so frequently flooded. To that end, you should definitely pay attention to local rainfall levels prior to visiting Sequoyah if your planning a trip. There are several separate camping areas, all of which are named after a particular Native tribe such as “Seminole area.” Some areas are more prone than others to flooding so you should check with the park before going bc you may very well be limited in what you’re able to do or access if there has been local flooding. Beyond the golf course, the other obvious benefit of this park is Fort Gibson Lake, which is stunning. It’s a paradise for fishermen and boaters. For non water sport enthusiast, there is some great hiking at the park, as well as the Three Forks Nature Center, which my kids loved. The camp sites along the lake are generally for tent campers, but regardless, there is tons of sandy shoreline for swimming and playing in the water. Really pretty area of the park. There’s also a few beach volleyball courts and disc golf, which is a personal fav of mine. Lastly, for anyone not wanting to “camp,” have no fear! The “Lodge at Sequoyah State Park” is very, very, VERY nice and the rooms are reasonably priced for what you get. It was completely renovated recently and now very much looks like something you would expect out of a premier hotel or resort, not a state park. If you have a significant other who suffers through your love of the outdoors, they will LOVE this place and likely ask you when you’d like to return as soon as they arrive.  My wife loves me enough to go camping in our PopUp, but when she learned about the Lodge, that was it no sleeping the popup on this trip.  The room was unreal (see pics). We definitely felt like we were at a luxury resort, not camping.  So to the extent that may bother you, don't stay in the Lodge.  The Lodge is located directly on the water and it has tremendous views of the lake and sunset.  It is also located in close proximity to the volleyball courts and beach area along the lakeshore, which has day use picnic tables everywhere. I should also mention that there is a superb restaurant in the Lodge as well, which I always make note of due to the ease of having at least one meal prepared for us instead of cooking at the campsite while trying to wrangle 3 boys under 4.  Overall, I feel confident in saying that Sequoyah is probably one of Oklahoma’s better parks due to the activities and amenities it offers, the scenery and proximity to a “town” in the event you need something during your trip. We will definitely be going back, whether I want to or not.  My wife is sold!
(Updated review) 
I have since been back to Sequoyah and I decided to upgrade the park to 5 stars.  It’s just a beautiful, great park. Tons to do, accommodations for all preferences, swimming, boating, golf, disc golf, horseback riding, boating, fishing, great trails, HUGE park, tons of sites, lots of trees, tons of green space in camping areas, [now has renovated] camping sites for all preferences/sizes of campers, trailers, hookups, etc. (see video).  Above all, for anyone in Tulsa or surrounding area (the second most populated city in OK by far), the park is 30 minutes SE.  Its also like 15 minutes from Wagoner or Hulbert, in both of which you can easily find food options, groceries, etc if needed.  For anyone with or without kids, Sequoyah is a cant miss in this area of the world.  I want to check out Sequoyah Bay Park, which is across the lake in a SW’ly direction.  I plan to camp at Sequoyah in two weeks so I will drive over to Sequoyah Bay and snag some video/pics for anyone needing more info.  Overall, great park with literally everything you could want in a state park.  

Quick update: I just camped at this park (June 2020) and it was one of the hottest weekends we’ve had in almost a year.  One of the things I wanted to note was shaded campsites.  In the Seminole loop (best in park), site 8 is one of the hottest in the park.  It gets sun from about 10am to 5pm.  There are no trees south of this site so it’s very hot.  If you need relief from sun, site 22 is the bomb.  Shades all day.  Also, site 9 isn’t bad, but it gets a lot of sun in the late afternoon.  So I think of all the sites, for temp considerations, site 22 is the way to go.  Happy camping! 

Calling all golfers, boaters & fishermen

We had never been to Ft. Gibson Lake so we thought we'd give it a go... and we really enjoyed it. We stayed at Seminole Campground in Sequoyah State Park for two nights at the end of May and had a nice time. The camp host greeted us when we pulled in and gave us the low-down and provided us with maps on the campgrounds and the area. 

  

The campground, was really nice. It was clean, well kept, and quiet. With only one road in and out you'd think the traffic my be kinda bad, but it wasn't. It probably helps that there's not a boat ramp directly in the campgrounds. The sites were spacious and included a nice level concrete pad, a concrete picnic table, a firepit, and a lantern hook. All the sites away from the shore had sewer connections. The ones closest to the water did not, but there's a dump station right outside the campground gate. 

  

Being kayakers we like campgrounds that have easy water access and Seminole campground did not disappoint. The water level was up about 15-20' this particular weekend which made it easy to launch/land and with floating debris due to the water level we pretty much had the lake to ourselves. There are also hiking trails in the area including a paved walking trail. 

  

There's a convenience store a couple of miles away for ice, beverages, etc. It's about 12 miles to the nearest Walmart to pick up those things you forget... we now have dedicated camper pillows. 

  

Since I sometimes need to login to work, I'm always curious about the wifi. While the campground itself doesn't have wifi, I was able to turn on the hotspot feature on my phone and get connected without any problems. We have service through AT&amp;T and didn't have any issues.

  

The camp host told us that this campground is one of the few that stay open year round so we may be back in the fall for a different view.

Nice campsites!

The online reservation system wasn't working but it appeared to show many vacancies. I packed up my rig and headed out from Tulsa. Upon arrival i ran into the camp host. He said to pick a site and pay at the office the next morning. 
I chose a nice site on the west side of the area near the water. 
A beautiful night on a no frills site. 
I will return!

Beautiful bight at Creek Campsite

We stayed in the Cherokee section of the park. Campsites are clean and there’s electric and water at each. It has a beautiful view of the lake. However, the showers will cost you, so bring quarters. Plus, the ones we saw looked like they had black mold all around. Needless to say, we did not use the showers. 

Beautiful but do your research

Full hookups on concrete pads. Close to swimming, fishing, nature and a 5 star restaurant.  We stayed at the Choctaw campground.  Will stay again.

Beautiful and peaceful 

Sequoyah State Park on Fort Gibson Lake offers a lot and people come from out of state to visit. There's a lodge, restaurant, golf course, paved trail, dirt trails, campgrounds, marina, and horseback riding in summer. I grew up nearby and still enjoy visiting.

Something for Most

Great place to fish and do all kinds of water sports 

Breathtaking scenery. Clean sites. 

Even in November this is a great place to camp. In the Choctaw loop easy back in or pull thru sites. Very short walk to the lakeshore.  Golf course in the park. Pet friendly.  Close to tulsa too. There are shops just outside the park if you need propane or charcoal etc. Worth the trip!

Beautiful park and campgrounds 

Seminole campground is the best in Sequoyah State Park. The Camp Host is great and the Sunsets are beautiful.

Seminole park Top Notch.

I arrived after dark on December 27th. I had made a reservation (and paid the $15) through their website. When I got to the park, I followed signs for Paradise Cove and reached the camping area. I never found my exact campsite (#27) but it was completely empty so I took a different one and left a note in my windshield. The phone number on the confirm email forwards after hours to the lodge, and the person was very nice when I called but couldn’t help me. 

It was a bit confusing once I got there and was trying to find my site, I went online again and found another website that said paradise cove camping was closed, but the guy on the phone said the online reservations are kept up to date. 

Paradise cove is right by the bridge over the lake and I could hear and see traffic. Each site is numbered on the picnic table (hard to see, especially in the dark) and the bathrooms were closed. I never found the water taps. 

In the morning, I was right on the lake, with lots of birds! It was beautiful despite the traffic. I would stay again but pick a different campground in the park. 

Clean and deserted in winter

We started in Indiana and stopped here last night on our way out to Utah.  It was clean, quiet, and just what we needed!  My only suggestion would be to arrive before dark.  There are signs, but they are less than clear at night (no arrows).  Once we located a park map, we were set!

Great first night of our trip!

Sequoyah State Park is just beautiful. I stayed in Paradise Cove in a tent site quite literally right on the water since this part of Oklahoma is experiencing flooding right now. There are flush toilets in this part of the park, but there are showers in others. There’s a short hiking trail, it’s great for bike riding, and there’s a nature center with various animals. There’s also a golf course and a lodge at the opposite end of the park. Since it was my first solo camping trip I wanted to make sure I wasn’t too far from civilization in case I didn’t have everything I needed. It was a fabulous trip and I’d definitely stay here again! 

First Solo Camping Trip

Sequoyah State Park located just 8 miles from Wagoner Oklahoma has something for everyone. Sitting along the shore of Ft Gibson Lake with more than 19,000 surface acres and 225 miles of shoreline make this a water enthusiast paradise. From power boating, canoe and kayaking, fishing or just hanging at the beach area you will not be dissapointed. The park offers saddle rides, hiking and golf with a huge lodge facility complete with pool and splash area, dining, 104 guest rooms and 45 cottages. Camping is available in 5 campground areas varying from primitive tent camping to full hook up RV and bathhouses. The Choctaw campground sites all have water, sewer, and 50/30 amp electric with concrete pad, table, fire ring. Seminole and Cherokee having a mix of services. Paradise Cove and Chickasaw are for tent camping. There are plenty of picnic areas and playgrounds dispersed throughout and you definitely don't want to miss the Three Forks Nature Center. WARNING: Oklahoma State Parks charge a daily parking fee per vehicle of$10 in addition to the camping fee and they enforce it...just saying from experience...read the information carefully!

Something for everyone!

The rangers were always available to help us during the 4July weekend with bug sprays and other essentials.

Very green and clean place to stay

Swimming, basketball court, baseball field, marina, showers, all within a HUGE campground. It is November 30th and we are literally the only people in five loops of this campground. 

Great Ammenities!!!

We got here and there were tons of signs saying reservations required. I quickly made one online and we grabbed a map to find our way. Long story short — 15 mins later we realized that Sequoyah BAY state park is different from just Sequoyah State Park. Not sure why they put both campgrounds on the same map but don’t make this mistake! The other campground was only 20 min away though.  

Confusing 

We stayed in the north end of the Choctaw Campground, nearest the converted cabin and heated showerhouse. All facilities (water, toilets, info) were open and working. On arrival we booked a spot and had no issues with internet to do so. Rangers came through daily, but no sign of camp host over the Thanksgiving weekend. We were the only tent visitors until our last night when two additional campers arrived. 
The trails were great aside from some glass that appeared to wash in a long the lower nature trail, which was a concern for our dog so we went to take the fitness trail back. 
The sunset view from south of the lodge was worth the wait. 
Nature Center staff were more helpful than the info center, on top of a super educational and fun tour they held even in the chilly wind. 
Cons - There seemed to be less parking than spots, waterside spots definitely had signs of being washed out this season around the picnic tables, and overall it was hard to spot some numbers on spots. Spots were mostly crowded, would not come to this site in a peak season. 

Excellent November Tent Destination 

This park offers full hookup sites and has many hiking trails. In October, they do trick or treating every weekend - which is fun!
