About
State Park
Clayton Lake State Park, located in southeastern Oklahoma’s Kiamichi Mountains, features 500 acres of lodging, fishing, boating, hiking and more. The park will dazzle you as you wind your way through the hardwood forest’s beautiful scenery and find what adventure and activities await you in this restful hideaway.
Lodging at the park, located just five miles south of Clayton, includes 30 reserveable RV sites. For those who enjoy the open air of outdoor tent camping, the park offers 60 first come first serve tent sites spread out between three camping areas, primitive cabins and two-bedroom cabins to fit your family’s needs. Tent camping is a perfect opportunity to watch the wildlife who frequent the park including deer, squirrels, raccoons and geese. Clayton Lake State Park also offers five picnic pavilions, two boat ramps and four comfort stations with hot showers
If you’re looking for a restful getaway, look no further. The “no wake” 80-acre lake is open to fishermen and boaters, but no watersports are allowed to compliment the quiet nature of the park and local wildlife. In addition to a lighted boat and ADA accessible fishing dock, the park also has a swimming beach and playground.
Take a stroll along the water’s edge, wade through the rushing waterfalls, or bring a kayak to cross the lake’s still water. With a wide variety of trees lining the water’s edge, the beautiful foliage offers outdoor enthusiasts the chance to reconnect with nature along the park’s hiking trails.
Nearby, guests can visit the Ouachita National Forest, Sardis Lake or the Choctaw National Capital in Tuskahoma which is home to a museum and the annual Choctaw Nation Labor Day Festival that draws people from all over the country.

Beautiful Nature, BIG BIG Sky!
If you love getting the full effect of beautiful sunrises, sunsets, and stars - this may be the perfect spot for you to watch the skies! If you check dark-skies maps, you'll see that Clayton Lake is right on the edge of the section of SE Oklahoma with the least light-pollution. So if your favorite Southeast Oklahoma spot is booked, give this little hidden treasure a shot!
If you like foraging and looking for cold-season decomposers like I do, you'll find plenty of mushrooms and moss under the canopy.
There are plenty of cheap B&Bs in the area as well if you want a really secluded trip into the forest - definitely one of my favs!
Small but pretty state park
We tent camped here in April. We got here in the dark and it was hard to find a a spot but when we woke up the next morning we had a great view of the lake. The bathroom near the office was newer and had showers that you need quarters to use. Also had an old school playground but the kids had fun. We took a hike around part of the lake but the trail was pretty much unmarked.
