Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Lake Murray adventure.
Oklahoma’s oldest and largest state park is bursting with adventure.
With 12,500 acres of waters, sandy beaches, and forested shores, Lake Murray State Park provides the perfect mix of Mother Nature and manmade pleasures. The 5,700-acre lake takes center stage, where there’s ample space to swim, sail, fish, and paddle. More than 30 miles of trails tempt hikers and bikers away from the water, while thrill-seekers can kick up some dirt in the huge ATV park. Add to that an 18-hole golf course, tennis and volleyball courts, trail rides, hayrides, and miniature golf. Campers are spoiled for choice, too, with nine campgrounds, cabins, and a luxury lodge.
Pink and blue wildflowers blanket the shores of Lake Murray through spring and summer, and with daytime temperatures hovering around 95°F, the lake provides welcome relief from the heat. Hiking and outdoor activities are possible year-round, weather depending, and lower off-season rates make this prime time for budget campers. Camping is possible year-round, although campgrounds close during the low season, so check ahead.
