Just Me and Nature

I can see the stars and the moon while hearing deer run through the woods, birds splashing in the water and coyotes howling. 12 miles/ 20 minutes to town for gas, groceries, laundry, etc. Minimal traffic mid -January, mostly boats and fishermen. Vault toilet is clean and water spigots are available and turned on. $10/night

Lakeside Camping

Beautiful lakeside spot with a good bit of open space. Our site last night was not shaded but many of them are. Signs say you can stay up to 14 days and the fee is currently free! There was some road construction in the campground in the morning but nothing too loud or serious.

Free easy camping

We decided to stay here on our journey because of the great reviews. It’s not bad… it seems most of the reviews are local , and going by that it is a 5 star spot… it’s an army core of engineers man made damn lake that was built in 53 . Lots of great pads for tent and medium rvs. It’s a bit of a noisy park as there prolly 30 trucks rolling by each morning and evening to use the boat ramp, and the sound of generators can be heard everywhere throughout the night . No accessible trails or bike paths from this point. For kayakers this lake might be a bit meh, it’s wide open and doesn’t have the abundant islands to explore as other damn lakes do near bye . If you love loud country music being sung a bit off key than this is your spot. All in all great little place to stop overnight on your way to the next place

Breathtaking!

My wife and I had to come to Oklahoma for work in the Muskogee area, so we packed up our little camper and hit the road. Upon arrival we were absolutely blown away by the lakeside campsites, and not to mention you can camp for 14 days FREE! Only issues are that there not too many facilities near by, but perfect for primitive camping. We will definitely be returning in the future 🎄🍁🌳

Great Camping Area and Large Sites!

This was our first stay in Oklahoma camping. I highly recommend staying at this location or the location across Fort Gibson Like(Johnson Bay). The campsites are very specious and most if not all of them overlook the lake. We stayed here during December and there was only one other camper present. There are vaulted toilets and water around the camping area. You can stay up to 14 days for free at this location. We will return next time we are passing through!

RV campground; fisher's paradise

There is plenty to do here for family's even if it is run down a little bit. The fishing is excellent and it provides a great place to launch boats. The bathrooms are dated and I wouldn't take a shower here. The RV sites are level and provide great lake access. Each site has a fire pit and a table and the spacing is what I would consider adequate. The marina provides the supplies you need for fishing or things you forgot. The grounds were well kept but you could tell this is a 50's build and is in need of an update. There is also a beach to swim in the lake that was pleasant.
