This 55 acre park is home of a large sandstone that contains 8 markings believed to have been made by Vikings many years ago. The park features a seasonal waterfall, covered picnic areas, playground, amphitheater with seating, community building, scenic views, gift shop and approximately 2 miles of nature trails. Be advised that most tent sites have a tent pad but a few are primitive mountain terrain (rocky). The one RV site is for 16 ft. or less vehicles and smaller teardrop trailers with limited hook-up and no dump station. Restroom and shower facilities are located within the park. Individual campsites DO NOT have onsite toilets. Forest setting while still close to stores in case of forgotten items. Variety of small wildlife in the area. All sites allow campfires UNLESS we are under a county wide burn ban. *Note moderate cancellation policy for most dates - full refund 3 days before check-in time. * ** Special event camping is a strict no refund policy.

This tent site offers fantastic views of the sunset and if you enjoy sitting amongst the wildflowers this is your spot!  It has a picnic table and fire pit.  There is no tent pad but you can tuck your tent away under the trees.  It sits off of the yellow trail that runs along the bluff and close to the playground.   Please note, this site is in close proximity to the cliffs along our western border and may not be suitable for groups with small children. This site is a short hike in down hill with restrooms a short distance away.  Be advised that is does sit below the community building and one of our less secluded spots during the day.  Parking is a short walk away and additional parking passes may be purchased.

This site is perfect for families that want access to the playground but yet take in the sunsets and starry skies!  It sits in between the yellow trail and the playground separated by a grove of trees.  Please note, this site is in close proximity to the cliffs along our western border and may not be suitable for groups with small children. There is no tent pad but the grove of trees offer shade, a place to hang some hammocks or tuck a couple of tents.  It is a short downhill walk down a rocky stream path to the site.  The site has a picnic table and fire ring but just above the site is a covered picnic table and grill as well.  Parking for 2 regular vehicles is a short distance from the site,  restrooms are across the road and showers are up the hill.  Additional parking passes may be purchased.

This site is located at the Overlook allowing amazing views. There is space for tents or hammocks and nearby parking for those sleeping in vehicles. It is not set up for RVs. The covered pavilion comes in handy during the rainy days and offers a safe play zone for children. This spot is distanced from other sites providing more privacy. The site features 2 picnic tables, a grill and fire ring. The ground is leveled out for tents to be easily set up but there are no tent pads. Three large tents could easily be used if so desired. There are solar lights to light the pathway but the tent side is dark to enjoy the stars.  Additional parking passes may be purchased. This site does NOT have electricity.

 This site isn't your typical site as it doesn't have a tent pad but don't let that stop you.  It's a great place to watch the sunset and gaze at the stars! There is space to hang a hammock, put up a small tent and ideal for car campers. The site has a picnic table, fire pit and grill. It sits near the shower house and above the overlook parking area but away from other campsites. Restrooms are down the hill.  It is just off the camp road, right above the overview parking lot.  NO RVs.  Additional parking passes may be purchased.

This is a great site for family camping. It boasts a large area to put up several tents, although there are no tent pads. Please accommodate for the rocky mountain terrain. Nice shade trees with areas to hang hammocks.   It sits off of the yellow trail with trees separating it from the trail and play area is just a short walk away.  Please note, this site is in close proximity to the cliffs along our western border and may not be suitable for groups with small children. The restrooms are a short walk across the road.   It has a picnic table and fire ring with access to a covered picnic table and grill just a short walk up from the campsite.   The ground is a little rocky and about a 25-30 ft. walk downhill to the site.  It is located the farthest from the shower house and overlook area. Two parking spaces are available a short walk away and additional parking passes may be purchased.

This site DOES NOT accommodate RVs, campervans or trailers. It is located within the community camping area and includes 3 tent pads that can accommodate most standard size tents. This site features multiple grills and 3 picnic tables. Parking is just a few feet from the site, across a small ravine (with bridge). Includes 3 standard parking spaces. Plenty of space so you don't feel crowded. Located in the middle of the campground so just a brisk walk to the restrooms or the shower house. Located across the street from the playground.

Heavener Runestone Park offers a serene camping experience with rich Viking history and well-maintained facilities. Campers appreciate the beautiful views, friendly hosts, and the convenience of nearby amenities. The trails are a highlight, providing both scenic beauty and a touch of adventure. While the occasional noise from a nearby train can be a disturbance, the overall vibe remains peaceful and inviting.

The site is at to much of an incline, you cannot set a tent level and all your stuff rolls downhill, the table is also unlevel. The access path is impassable for a vehicle, you have to carry all your stuff uphill it’s exhausting.

Everyone is friendly, there's a cute little gift shop with a lot of necessities. The campground and facilities are very clean and well maintained. The sunset was stunning! There are several neat trails for hiking. The area is very wooded, and we were able to hang up hammocks to relax in. Our only problem was our tent didn't fit on the pad, but that's because the tent is enormous (18 ft bell tent), but we made it work. We would definitely come again.

We enjoyed our stop at Heavener Runestone Park. The terrain is hilly and scenic. Our highlight was watching the sun set from the scenic overlook. The amenities are a bit faded, but functional. This was a comfortable place to spend the night on our way south. It was fun to learn about this odd bit of history, too!

The campsite was absolutely lovely! The forest felt more like the Black Hills, SD. I had no idea Oklahoma could look like this. It was SO peaceful I could've been 100 miles from civilization, yet Hevener was nestled beautifully in the valley below. Hearing those spooky train horns every hour or so was neat-my boy couldn't get enough! The short hike to the runestone was fun, and that sweet young lady in the gift shop went outta her way for our yard game. What a cozy Oklahoma spot! Terrain was a bit rough and steep and rocky so be advised.

My family and I loved tent camping here! The views were beautiful! We were at site #8, it was very pretty and peaceful. Lots of trees for nice shade and great spot for a hammock. There even happened to be a big event at the overlook one of the days we were there, but there was still enough separation that it wasn’t too loud and we still felt like we had our privacy. The Runestone didn’t disappoint! We thought it was cool. We really enjoyed hiking the trails too.

Excellent campsite for our first time visiting the park! The trails were great and easy to navigate, amenities offered worked well, and the host was communicative too. If you plan to stay at this campsite (or probably anywhere in the park), just be mindful there’s a very active train station below the park so you’ll hear it both day & night—earplugs were an essential for me. However, that doesn’t deter my recommendation. The fall leaves were gorgeous, so we picked the perfect weekend to stay.

#6 - Tent Site
A quaint little park with unique history and the perfect hikes for beginners or those needing an hour to waltz with nature. You're outside of town but not so far away that running back for something you forgot to be a real problem. Campsites are as you would expect, a platform that is just big enough for our large sundome tent (8 person), a firepit and metal grill for each site and a concrete and wood picnic table. They even have shepherd hooks for campers to hang a lantern or lights. The camping area is lit up at night by a string of bulb lights, giving just enough glow to get down to the bathrooms without being a nuisance when trying to sleep. A wonderful setup for a relaxing weekend. My son and I were the only people in the park at one point and it was very peaceful. Crows, woodpeckers, and squirrels abound but not much else in the way of wildlife. A definite for families or someone looking for a quiet place to pitch a tent or hang a hammock.

Wonderful rustic park! First is the runestone, whose conjecture seems entirely plausible and fascinating! Second, the park was developed around 1970 and looks like it’s basically been unchanged. Third, it’s just plain beautiful. The staff are awesome and very responsive. We loved it.

#1 - Group site near play area
It's a great site if you want to be semi secluded. Off the main road some behind the tree line. Close to the bathrooms and playground. Only complaint i have is that there isn't really a good place for a tent. For being a group site I figured it would have somewhat flat spots for tents. We made it work though. There is one spot toward the back of the site right next to the trail that I was able to put my tent but it still had some big rocks and was slanted. Infact the entire site is on a hill and very rocky. It was hard to put chairs around the fire pit because of all the big rocks. All in all we had a good weekend. The park itself is really nice, the bathrooms were clean and they have some decent trails. Campsite 1 definitely needs some work though.
