Sportsmans Lake

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

A city-managed lake roughly four miles east of places to camp near Seminole, Sportsmans Lake sits outside Wewoka and draws a steady mix of anglers, kayakers, and RV campers to its spring-fed water. The lake runs about two miles end to end with four coves and an estimated 15 miles of shoreline, and the campgrounds are split between cove 1 and cove 3 on the southwest side.

Motorized watercraft like jet skis and water skis are not permitted, which keeps boat traffic limited to fishing boats, kayaks, and canoes. Sites include primitive tent spots, water and electric hookups, and full hookup pads with sewer, though reviewers note most pads run short and may not accommodate longer rigs easily. Three restrooms with showers are on-site, though the showers run cold only, and upkeep can be inconsistent given that a single ranger manages the entire property. Gates lock each night, and campers arriving after 10 p.m. can only access coves 2 and 4, where late-night activity has been reported. Wewoka Lake is another option in the area for those wanting to compare nearby water-based campgrounds.

As Melanie W. notes, "at night you really hear a lot of coyotes and owls," which reflects the wildlife activity around the lake, including geese, raccoons, and foxes. Equestrian trails also loop through the property, doubling as hiking routes. Groceries are close by in town. The campground works well for anglers, paddlers, and RV campers who want full hookups at a low nightly rate without straying far from basic conveniences.

Nice

Nice small lake. Older bathrooms but kept clean. Lots of fishing boat traffic. Lake Ranger is very friendly and helpful. Atmosphere of being far away from town but 10 minutes get you to groceries.

Don't arrive late

The campgrounds are actually located on the southwest side of the lake in cove 1 and cove 3, make sure you don't arrive after 10pm as you can then only access cove 2 and cove 4. You can camp late hours in those areas, but the population in this area is very active at 2am and it just isn't comfortable. We ended up going someplace different because we usually arrive to campground pretty late.

Great place

Went camping this last weekend and we all had a great time. Love having the woods right behind us. Nice camp spots with full hookups and good water pressure. We will be back soon!

Beautiful quiet area.

This campground was very quiet and beautiful. The grounds are neat and well cared for. There are about 10 reservable sites with full hookups. Several sites with water and electric. Most pads are short. No skiing or motorboats allowed. Restrooms need some work and only cold water available for showers.

Close to home.

I visit this lake regularly. It is a city run lake. It is a good lake for kayaking, fishing and swimming. It has become popular for kayaking.

It has RV campsites, tent campsites and equestrian campsites. The campsites are 1st come.

It has 3 boat ramps, 2 covered fishing docks. It has a nice swimming area and even on the hottest days the water feels good because it is a sping fed lake.

It has 3 pavilions. I pavilion has an air conditioned building that you can rent for gatherings.

It has 3 restrooms with showers. The restrooms tend to get messy because it is a city lake with only 1 worker/ranger who has to do everything.

The ranger is very nice and helpful but is always busy. He keeps a good eye on things and the gates are locked everynight.

Sunrise is beautiful and so are the stars. There are many geese on this lake, they have there own island where they hatch their babies every year. Lots of racoons and a couple foxes. At night you really hear a lot of coyotes and owls. It is laid back and peaceful.

The lake is 2 miles from one end to the other with 4 coves and around 15 miles of shoreline. No jet skiing or water skiing.

Sportsmans make located on seminole Oklahoma as very clean. Very family friendly. Even the other vsitors were very kind.
