The best mountainous camping in Oklahoma

·

Set up camp in Oklahoma’s rugged hills—57 mountainous sites to choose from, each promising a different vantage on the state’s rocky landscapes. Prices start at $15 a night, with the average hovering around $29. You’ll find sites where campfires are allowed, hot showers are on tap, and pets are welcome. Horseback riding, swimming holes, and winding hiking trails top the list of favorite activities. For a proven spot, check out Heavener Runestone Park (346 reviews). Looking for something with a laid-back vibe? Hippie Hill (55 reviews) draws regulars. Or pitch your tent at Lakeside Point (29 reviews) for easy access to water. Oklahoma’s mountains aren’t the Rockies, but they pack character—steep ridges, dense woods, and misty mornings. Bring boots and expect a climb.
