The best camping near Clayton with fishing

·

Clayton’s loaded with fishing campsites—over 1,600 spots where you can cast a line, most averaging $25 a night, with a few as low as $10. You’ll find sites along big reservoirs and tucked beside quiet creeks, with easy access to hiking and horseback riding when you’re not fishing. Showers, pet-friendly rules, and campfires are standard at many spots. For high-reviewed options, Heavener Runestone Park (346 reviews) sits near ancient carvings and leafy trails, while Lakeside Point (29 reviews) puts you right at the water’s edge. Want something a bit more polished? Glampin' In Style - Broken Bow (29 reviews) offers a step up in comfort, but you’ll still have fishing close by. Pack your tackle, check the site for pet rules, and get ready to spend more time outdoors than in your tent.

This property boasts breathtaking views of the lake and mountains. Guests can stroll to the water for swimming, fishing, or kayaking right from the campground's banks. While boats cannot be launched on-site, a boat ramp is just a few miles away. Boats may be pulled up to our shore for daytime convenience. Our intimate campground features spacious pull-through sites starting at 40x60 feet, complete with full hookups, eliminating the hassle of waste disposal upon departure. The pavilion provides breathtaking views of the lake and mountains. It features an open area measuring 30x30 feet, complete with a full kitchen and two bathrooms. The surrounding space affords a private setting. A great place for events including weddings, family reunions and more intimate gatherings. The tiny cabin is rustic but functional. Although there is no kitchen, it has a coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge. The shower is small and can only be used for quick showers. However, the environment and views make the spot great for relaxing and enjoying nature.

The Beaver's Bend State Park is within minutes, as it the Broken Bow Lake. We have owned our property for 12 years, and decided to buy in Hochatown because we had been camping in this area for over 28 years. This area brings us joy, love, peace, tranquility, and seclusion. We love the nature, the water, animals, and sunshine. We even love the rain! Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Our little piece of Heaven on Earth. We are also close to all of the Hochatown events, eateries, wineries, & breweries. You can go golfing, swimming, get lost in a "secret room" or get a massage, within a 5 minute drive of our location. Grab your pillow, towels, swimsuits, toiletries and come on to Broken Bow Lake (2 miles) or Beaver's Bend State Park (5 miles) and enjoy the great outdoors, in style!
