ScoutGreat place to camp for a few nights. Boat ramp, clean showers, Lakeview, swimming, fishing, campfires. Clean, safe place to enjoy yourself.
GuideWe needed an overnight spot on our way back home to Texas, and we're so glad that we picked this park! Easy on and easy off of Highway 69, and It's located right next to the Choctaw Casino complex.
Parking for registration is located right by the office, and all the park staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. The road from the highway to the park is very easy to navigate for any size rig. The same inside the park; it's well-marked and easy to navigate. Even though it's not too far from the main road, we didn't hear any traffic noise at all.
We were assigned to pull-thru site number 41. All the sites are concrete and appear fairly level. Our site was level side to side, and a few inches off from front to rear. There are very few shade trees for the majority of the park sites. Power, Water, and Sewer were all conveniently located, and the power supply had no issues at all. We use a power management system, and all electrical parameters were spot on during our stay. Water pressure was okay, and the in-ground sewer connection was conveniently located. There is also a picnic table and a covered trash can located at each site.
Bathrooms, Showers, laundry facilities, and the pool are all located at the registration office building and are in great shape. In fact, they are the cleanest and nicest facilities that we've ever experienced at an RV park. They are on par with what you would expect at a 5-Star resort.
Wi-Fi, Satellite, OTA: there is free Wi-Fi in the park with numerous repeater towers, so each site has a fairly strong signal- we achieved 101 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up. We got AT&T 5G with 3 bars and achieved 330 Mbps down and 11.3 Mbps up. If you need clear access for satellite reception, trees will not be an issue. Also, you can pick up approximately 50 OTA stations with good HD quality reception.
Dog Park: They have a nice fenced-in park that is divided into two separate areas. They provide doggie bags and a trash can.
Amenities: Lots of items are listed on their website. They have a propane area where you can fill your existing tanks, exchange tanks, or even buy new tanks. They also have RV supplies and parts located in the office area.
Summary: A great place for an overnight or an extended stay. They provide free shuttle service to the Casino Complex that has plenty of restaurants and a multi-screen movie theater. The park map provides a very accurate rendition of the park. See my attached photos for more details.
Bottom line- this park is owned by the Choctaw Nation and is part of the Casino Complex. So, the RV park is maintained at an exceptional level since income from the RV park is not critical. They just want their RV guests to have a first-class experience. Even if you don't gamble or dine out, take the free shuttle over to the casino complex just to see what it offers. It's truly a Vegas-like experience. This park deserves its high rating, and I do not hesitate to recommend it!
ScoutRV Camp sites are super nice and well spaced. Really cool fossil sites near the lake shore. Nice huge lake. And really good trails (for North East Texas).
GuideType of Stay: Ram Promaster 3500 Ext (22ft)
Company: Dog
$18 for a Standard Non Electric Spot
We stayed in spot A08 & I highly recommend it. Incredible view all day w/ Instant Access to Water (you gotta trot down rocks in pictures but it's easy enough)
Zero issue with bugs.
Pros: Bathroom (Toilet Paper), Showers (Weak Pressure), Quiet, Personal Fire Rings. Gas Station/ convenient store & a few restaurants right outside the grounds.
ScoutLots of activities boat/ horseback riding/hiking. We Just stopped on our way from Kansas City to Austin. Very quiet in March. Not sure about the rest of the time.
ScoutLove our stay at Lake Murray. The park was very quiet while we visited. We opted for a back in sit along the lake. The site was plenty big enough for our 27 ft trailer and tow vehicle.

Equestrian trails and camping: At Platter Flats, the campground is divided between regular camping and equestrian areas. "Half of the campground is an equestrian camp. There are great hiking trails and beautiful views. Good shady spots. We had two kids with us and we loved walking around the campground and seeing all the horses!" notes Rachael H.
Waterfront activities: The extensive shoreline of Lake Texoma provides numerous fishing spots. "Great place for fishing, water sports and camping. We had fun on Lake Texoma and will be returning. This is a small, well kept campground," shares Hope F. about Burns Run East.
Beach swimming: Eisenhower State Park offers designated swimming areas with unique geological features. "Cool beach with caves. New food trailer with great food. Great fishing on beautiful Lake Texoma. Bathrooms are always clean," reports Susan F. The beach requires navigating stairs, making accessibility an important consideration.
Natural wildlife encounters: Burns Run West provides opportunities to spot local fauna. Mark L. notes, "This is a beautiful site with nice facilities. It is close enough for shopping and restaurants should that be needed and isolated enough to enjoy the outdoors."
Shoreline camping: Many campsites at Lake Texoma State Park offer direct waterfront access. "Our site was right on the lake. Luckily no one was in the site next to us, so we enjoyed a gentle slope down to the water. While we only had water and electric hook up, the dump station was very conveniently located. The water was fantastic for swimming right off our site!" shares Kate S.
Lakeside glamping options: Comfort-seekers looking for glamping in Denison, Texas can find upgraded accommodations at Lake Texoma RV Campground. "We loved our time here! Quiet park with activities and a lake. We had a pull through site with plenty of space for our 44' 5th wheel, truck and extra vehicle," reports Rachel P., highlighting the luxury camping options.
Seasonal considerations: Summer heat requires preparation. "Not a lot of shade here, so summer would be sweltering. We stayed early October and it was great weather," advises Jon S. about Lake Texoma State Park.
Site selection factors: Some campgrounds have significant variability between sites. "Wooded sites are perfect for a hammock. Lots of choices, many close to water and some right next to docks/launches. Simple clean sites, just how camp tenting should be. If you don't have a boat you'll regret it," shares Harry H. about Eisenhower State Park.
