"The campground had decent star views and was a short walk to clean pit toilets. The showers were a short drive away and were also clean."
"This COE campground is a pretty decent as far as COE campgrounds go, there is some obvious flood damage to some of the sites near the water with a few not useable at all."

"Not sure what to expect, was clean on a lake and no bugs. We were rookies in camping. Host were fantastic"
"These cabins have 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom and kitchen and a nice porch overlooking the lake. The cabin was pretty nice compared to most state park cabins but it definitely wasn’t resort quality."

LegendWe have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 25 for 1 night in early September. The CG is clean, well maintained. The CG roads are paved, as are the sites. The site pads themselves are concrete and most looked to be fairly level, but a few had a bit of slope. Most of the sites were fairly well spaced. The CG, at least on Sunday evening, was very quiet and peaceful. There were only 2 other campers while we were there, one of them the Park Host. Our site, 25, was a pull-through, but the center of it had about 4 inches of mud from a recent rain, otherwise it would just be 4 inches of dirt. A few of the back-in sites had similar situations at the junction with the road.
AT&T coverage was pitiful, with only 1 bar of LTE service and speeds up to 0.1 MB/s. We had a clear view to the N from the side of the site, so Starlink was fine with speeds up to 16 MB/s.
TravelerYou can tell this is a good place to stay as soon as you pull in the drive. Great roads, very large sites, your choice pull in paved or gravel, back in or lake side. All spots have a paved patio. The owners are so nice and make you feel at home. We stayed an extra night.
ScoutWe had spot A15, full hookup with a 38ft 5th wheel for 1 night. There is a board when you pull in to tell whats available. Had the whole place to ourselves. The camphost was awesome. We pulled in around 10pm and he came out to greet us, super nice gentlemen. Highly recommend
TravelerA very small park with a small lake, but it is well shaded well maintained. It is undergoing upgrades at this time.
ScoutLane RV is a very clean and quiet RV and Tiny Home Park. Conveniently located between McGee Creek State Park and Reba’s in Downtown Atoka! McGee Creek is a beautiful state park with boating, fishing, hiking, etc. Downtown Atoka is an up and coming little town that has been revitalized by Reba McEntire’s restaurant and bar. It’s a great getaway, come check it out!!
GuideWe found this on a whim but were pleasantly surprised. Great little campground. Picnic tables and fire rings are dated at best but functional. The view was phenomenal!
LegendReally enjoyed the Acorn campground - south end of park. There are many to choose from in this large state park, but I would return here. Site was level with the usual amenities all in working order and not too close to neighbors. The river ran directly behind the site and I was entertained by an otter family and ducks daily. There is a water release siren that sounds occasionally and it is loud, but it doesn't happen frequently, or at night, at least not during my stay.
Enjoyed the hiking in this park. Lots of great cleared trails. Often times I was the only hiker. A real gem is the COE access road that runs along the river past the spillway. If you walk far enough down you can view the real "wild" river with the islands of cypress trees and boulders creating eddies and the relaxing sounds of the river spilling over and around. 10 out of 10 stars
No Verizon service except at the nature center (definitely worth a visit especially if you have kiddos, and the ranger here is fantastic!!). You can jump on their wifi, or if I walked to the pavilion behind the store I could get one bar on my phone. Note off season store hours in photo. Not much in the store. The BBQ at the Lookout restaurant is the draw.
ScoutGreat place for a family coreball vacation. More contact with nature. Enjoy when everyone chats and has relaxing moments. Beautiful scenery and really fresh air.
