The best forest camping near Atoka

·

Atoka’s forests pack in over 460 camping options, with prices starting at $10 a night and an average stay running $42. You’ll find campsites tucked under tall oaks, just off the lake, or hidden along winding trails. Top picks like Lakeside Point (29 reviews) and Camp Coyote (1 review) get high marks for lakeside views and quiet clearings. Showers, toilets, and campfires are common, so you won’t sacrifice comfort for wilderness. Hiking, climbing, and fishing fill your days—just watch for deer in the brush and bring sturdy boots for rocky creek crossings. If you want real forest camping without the crowds and chaos, Atoka delivers.

16mi from Atoka · 3 sites · Tents, RVs
My location is about 8 miles due west of the little town of Caney, Oklahoma. I’m very rural, no close neighbors, 19 acres of pasture and woods. Plenty of places to park, one area is back in the woods a bit with water and 50 amp service, others strictly boondocking. There’s not much “close” to me but I’m kind of centrally located between Atoka, Texoma and McGee lakes. Boggy depot state park and Fort Washita is close by and south of me is the Choctaw Casino. It’s very quiet and no nighttime lights so there’s an awesome night sky. Please check out the map I've included in my photos for precise directions. The last 2.5 miles to get to my house is by gravel road and my entrance may be a bit difficult to spot but my name and address is on the big black mailbox. Just turn in and cross the cattle guard and go through the driveway into the open field. Parking is on the north side of the drive along the tree line or back in the woods. Don’t hesitate to contact me directly for directions. If you follow my guidance, you should have no problem finding me or turning into my drive. Pets are welcome but I suggest they remain on a leash if you’re around my house or other campers and please clean up after them. The open field around my house is not always mowed because my neighbor cuts the hay and I like the spring wildflowers. I try to keep a walking path around my place but I travel too so at times it may not be well maintained. Since I do travel a lot, I may not be home when you arrive. Please make yourself at home and leave the place as you found it. Thank you!

Cooped up inside? Break out and head to Sardis Lake for some much needed time in nature. Relaxation is the name of the game here. Hang off the pier and fish at the lake, you couldn’t ask for a calmer activity. Take out the boat for a spin and lay on beach soaking in some rays and making sand creatures. Pack a picnic and have the kiddos release energy on the playground. Seriously, this place is an Oklahoma oasis! Make sure to bring the tent because you’re going to want to spend a weekend—if not a lifetime—here.
