We tent camped in this campground and it was wonderful. Beautiful, quiet, and the bathrooms were cleaned every day at noon. There’s a laundry mat on site and a small playground and dog park. The best RV spots with full hook ups was 39-43. Partial hook ups 12-14. We’ll definitely be back!
We are camping in a 27’ travel trailer in site 13 but there are beautiful tent sites, some right on the water. This particular site is beautiful, shaded, has a lake view, and is within 100 yds of a nice swimming area and a beautiful spot for SUP boards and kayaks. If you have a boat, it can be anchored by the beach. IMO this site was moderately difficult to back in the trailer so if you don’t have good backing skills this isn’t the site for you. There’s a picnic table, fire ring, and charcoal grill on site as well as electric and water- no sewer.
I certainly understand why they call it the “Grand Canyon of Texas”! This is an absolutely stunning place with rustic camping and great hiking trails. We did The Lighthouse Trail all the way to the top and it was stunning. There’s a Trading Post inside the park with groceries, firewood, and souvenirs, they also make a great burger!
Pettit Bay is great for both tents and rv’s. The design is well thought out with plenty of room. The bathrooms are older but well maintained and the showers work. There’s a small playground and boat ramps. They’re also building a new marina!
There are a lot of RV and tent sites with plenty of asphalt roads throughout the park to walk on. We didn’t see any showers and the park has pit toilets. There’s a beautiful playground for the kids. This place is close to home for me and it was so much better when I was a kid. They definitely should’ve put showers and toilets back in when they rebuilt. We ate good food and my gentle giant loved the water and our walks. I seriously doubt I’ll ever go back.
We had a wonderful girls weekend at Deep Ford! The bathrooms were new and well maintained and that hot shower was AMAZING after a long hike!
The trail wasn’t maintained well and we wandered off trail on multiple occasions but it was easy to pick up again. The view from the top of the bluffs was stunning and well worth the nearly vertical spots in the trail!
We’re already planning our next trip. We felt very safe and the park Ranger was visible on multiple occasions.
Sequoyah State Park is just beautiful. I stayed in Paradise Cove in a tent site quite literally right on the water since this part of Oklahoma is experiencing flooding right now. There are flush toilets in this part of the park, but there are showers in others. There’s a short hiking trail, it’s great for bike riding, and there’s a nature center with various animals. There’s also a golf course and a lodge at the opposite end of the park. Since it was my first solo camping trip I wanted to make sure I wasn’t too far from civilization in case I didn’t have everything I needed. It was a fabulous trip and I’d definitely stay here again!
