Quiet stay over Labor Day

Quiet campground with clean vault toilets. Many of the sites are very close to each other and some do not accommodate even a small trailer. Small stream near by with limited access. Monte Carlo and Monte Cristo trails are close by but were under repair by WTA. There were some mountain lions near the camp while we were there, 2 separate sightings, probably moving because of the work on the nearby trails

Scenic and Rustic

This campground has 14 available sites, numbered 0-15.  (Site 10 is nonexistent)  Sites 12 & 13 are combined to form a double site.  About half can be reserved.  Fire Pits are Circular with 9 being 1/4 fixed grates; 2 are 1/2 Coverage Swing Grates, and 3 are 1/2 Coverage Multi Level Grates. There are 3 vault toilets evenly spaced within the campground and 1 water pump near mid campground.  It borders The Little White Salmon River which is a small trickle creek. Easiest access to the creek requires walking through bordering campsites.  Weather can change quickly here so plan accordingly.

Wide open campground

I have not stayed here, but my parent's have been camphosts at Moss Creek, and this campground is one of their responsibilities. I have walked through each campsite and they are very large.

The campground is rustic, but well maintained.

Quiet, clean campground a little further away

The Oklahoma Campground up 7 miles from Willard, WA was a pleasant place to stay for a quick, overnight getaway. There was sufficient room for one or two tents per campsite and the tables and fire pits were serviceable. While Moss Creek Campground is rated higher on some sites, Oklahoma feels a bit farther away from civilization. toilets were clean and camp host was helpful and friendly.

Peaceful Location

This campground was a great escape from the 4th of July noise and crowds. The entire campground was clean and all the toilet facilities were spotless. We were tent camping and appreciated the level campsites and 10’ tables. Our site, #3, is non-reservable and HUGE. The riverfront was a bonus.

Pleasant Overflow Area

Oklahoma campground is mainly a pleasant overflow area if you can't find a site at the slightly more scenic Panther Creek campground down the road. Clear and flat, Oklahoma was named for where an influx of settlers were coming from in the late 1900s. The nice features are ease of use, being next to a wonderfully wild little stream and under great tree cover. Hiking and exploration are amazing within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest area, so you're within a prime natural space here.
