This is one of our favorite Oklahoma State Parks. The better sites are on Gobbler Ridge. The pool was very clean, and there are two slides. The sites are big and well kept, but some of the pads are small or hard to get into. The electricity and water pressure were good. The staff was friendly. There are activities for the kids to do. The restrooms are outdated and were dirty. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice little family park with two areas for camping. One at the top of the hill with no sewage hookups and at the bottom of the hill with some full hookups. We stayed at the bottom in a shady place. The pads are gravel and the back in sites are better than the pull thru sites. They have a lot to do, from hiking, fishing, vollyball, a small nature center, a small lake to rent boats or canoes, a paved path for bikes or scooters, a play ground, putt putt, and a swimming pool. We spent drove to Talequah one day and floated the Illinois river. The only complaint I have is the bathrooms. Not clean, had water running over the floors. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Campground is very nice. Good water pressure, electric, etc. Sites are well kept. All grass is cut and dead limbs moved to the wooded area. Most sites are very level with exception of a couple. Staff very friendly and helpful. The only thing negative is the bait and tackle shop. It is staffed by young people and they don't keep the stock ordered and so they are often out of everything you might need. Overall though, a very nice place to stay. We stay there often. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Lots of wildlife, rv site choices, shade and things to do. This is the nicest state park we have been to with our RV. The lots, for the most part, are very spaced out. Very nice park hosts. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Camped here in a travel trailer April 2004. Camped in Deer Run (full hook up area)
Attended the Azelea Festival in Muscogee (19 miles north). Beautiful park with lots of activities for kids and adults alike. Marina with paddle, canoe and power boat rentals. Cafe at the marina and fishing galore. Game room for older kids and adults. There is a nature center at the park. Attended a bonfire marshmellow roast with local park ranger spinning tall tales under a moonlit sky. The bathrooms and showers were a little dirty, we usually shower in our RV and generally don't use the public facilities. Lake Ten Killer is within 15 minutes of this park. Lots of trout fishing on the lower Illinois river that spills off of Lake Ten Killer. Stopped off at the lock and dam on the Kerr McClennan waterway and watched tugboats and barges traverse the lock and dam. Truly a beautiful park, we will return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A very clean park. The wildlife come within feet of your site. Boat and bicycle rentals available. Miles of hiking trails. The lake is great for fishing and does not allow skiing/tubing. The marina has a restaruant and there is a covered fishing dock. We camped here in a camper.
