Good Port in a Storm
During the extreme winter weather in Oklahoma in February 2021, I ducked into the KOA Lake Eufaula to wait out the storm. While the office was closed, Lindsay was available by phone to answer all my questions and James, a resident caretaker was also on hand. The campground offers all expected amenities, wifi, power, clean and warm bathrooms with shower, a dishwashing station and playground and public outdoor sitting area. They also provide propane fills. Bless James for pumping the propane for me in that extreme cold.
Due to the storm, the camp store was closed and water hookup was not available. The area was not plowed but I was loaned a shovel to clear the area around my campervan and the path to the bathroom.
I get the sense this is a popular place in good weather located near a large recreational lake. Unfortunately, I was hunkered down and in a bit of a panic about the weather, it was -3 degrees during my 24-hour stay, so I did not get out to see it or enjoy what the area has to offer. Overall my impression of the place was a good one. Note, it is located directly behind I-40, trucks can be seen and heard from the camping area.
Quick stopover
We stopped here one night on the way through. They had some barnyard animals in the back and a trail down to the lake. No stores or gas nearby, so don’t assume you can fill up at the exit. They had some nicer patio sites. Our site was gravel to park with grass around it.
Small KOA
Small KOA with a few cabins. Not much around and not a thing to do. Was good for a one night layover
