Calvary Rock East

1 site · RV, Tent2 acres · Antlers, OK

Welcome to Bigfoot Country! This quiet camping spot is located in a private 10,000 acre peaceful wilderness with OHV trails, fishing, and camping. Past the gates you'll arrive in a tight knit Oklahoma community with a volunteer fire department. The good folks of Kiamichi look out for one another so make sure to wave, they'll appreciate it! Enjoy the 14 mile drive past the hustle and bustle of families that come out to enjoy a weekend together, crossing two creeks, beautiful hills and views, and finally past Pappy's lake with access to fishing. Calvary Rock East is the actual title name on the deed for this 2.5 acre retreat, tucked into pine trees perfect for your hammocks. Currently this is strictly an off-grid, dry-docking property. We are a pet friendly campsite, but with miles and miles of forest, you'll want to keep them close and safe. You may hear the occasional family of OHV's and ATV's enjoying the trails. You can bring yours too! The roads are graded through out the year, but sometimes recent storms can create some damage, so a higher clearance vehicle such as a truck, Suv, or crossover is highly recommended. As always, we will ensure you have the most up-to-date weather conditions prior to your stay. We hope you find a relaxing time by the fire, or gazing at the stars. Enjoy your adventure!
