Take one of the short hiking trails that run alongside the lakeshore and keep your eyes open for unique rock formations, birds, and beavers! Bring your boat, as you’ll have access to 11 boat ramps and three marinas on the lake. Cast a line for striped bass, white bass, black bass, crappie, and catfish.

Don’t believe in love at first sight? Visit Heyburn Lake and let them prove you wrong. Pack the swimsuit (and sunblock!), and hang ‘round the beach, soaking in some much needed Vitamin D and splashing in the water! Begin—and win—a sandcastle building competition; prepare for all your childhood beach memories to come flooding back. Take an afternoon break for a lakeside picnic, relax, and let the cool breeze playfully try to knock your plate over. After lunch, scramble on your boat and putter around the lake, try to catch a glimpse of some wildlife in the water. Heyburn Lake could very easily become one of your favorite places, and we wouldn’t blame you one bit.

The best beach camping near Stillwater guide
Where to go
Sequoyah State Park
The drive into Sequoyah State Park is lined with shortleaf pine and brings campers to the shores of Fort Gibson Lake for tent and RV camping, lodges and cabin rentals, and recreation on the water. Campsites with water, sewer, and electric hookups are minutes from lighted ramps for fishing and boating, while bait and boat rentals can be found at the marina. Trek 12 miles of biking, hiking, and horse trails, then perhaps share a fire-cooked meal at a group picnic shelter. Sequoyah also features educational experience programming at the Three Forks Nature Center, where rehabilitated mammals and birds are nursed back to health. Campers who golf should be sure to bring their clubs for the park’s 18-hole golf course.
Lake Eufaula State Park
Southeast of Stillwater, the hydroelectric Eufaula Dam turns a large reservoir into Lake Eufaula. The lake’s state park reserves space for nearly every type of camping near the water, from tent and RV campsites to glamping yurts with wifi and TVs. Campsites with water, sewer, and electric hookups can serve as home base for days spent hiking or mountain biking down natural trails, fishing in the designated pond, and taking advantage of the disc golf course. Lake Eufaula also boasts a public airstip for Hipcampers to fly in for a romantic visit to Lovelock Fountain, where sweethearts inscribe their names on padlocks clipped to the fence as a symbol of their devotion.
Fort Cobb State Park
Fort Cobb Lake, a 4,000 surface-acre watersport paradise, sits within Fort Cobb State Park. Here, Hipcampers have access to full-hookup RV and tent campsites, as well as pet-friendly cabin rentals with queen beds, refrigerators, and stoves. Fort Cobb also has primitive campsites—just be sure to reserve online. Once you’re settled into your site, the lake is prime for swimming, fishing, and boating (rentals available), while the 18-hole golf course also beckons.
When to go
Stillwater enjoys a humid subtropical climate, with impressive storms ramping up in summer.
