Weekend Trip to Dave's Hideout

Stayed at Dave’s Hideout for five days and loved it. Beautiful spot. Tons of stars at night, peaceful, and you can hear and see plenty of wildlife. The grass smelled amazing after the rain. You’re far enough out to feel secluded but can still see other campers in the distance. Dave is also an amazing and kind host. 10/10

3 nights at Sundance Camp on Lake Texoma

We had a relaxing time at Sundance. The lake access is close and the amenities are as described. The positives: lake is nice and close to the tiny houses, we had good access to a couple lake side beaches, the hosts are communicative, and the tiny house village is very quaint and cozy. The negatives: If you’re coming on the 4th of July, despite the no fireworks policy for this property, the surrounding neighbors are pyromaniacs, The grill bottom we had was rusted out and we had to find a portable charcoal grill to cook our food, and we didn’t have any privacy shades on our tiny home. Overall, it was a positive experience and I would stay here again.

The cabin and park is just amazing it feels so cozy and the view of the lake is incredible. Can’t wait to go back! If the wind is too high in the lake for paddling there is a cove next to the cabin area that is great for paddling and blocked from the wind.

Paradise on Lake Texoma (formerly Paradise Cove) is a beautiful, secluded commercial campground located in the "Big Mineral Arm'' of Lake Texoma. Built in the 80's by the Corps of Engineers, Paradise has been a mainstay of the lake for many years. Recently, the current management team are working to grow Paradise into something special. With a huge focus on community and culture, Paradise has tons of space for people to come together and enjoy the company and also areas to wander off and find a quiet lakeside spot to relax. You'll also be able to catch one of the best breathtaking sunsets on the lake! The wildlife we have on the property is amazing! I have deer that sleep in my front yard, opossums, 600 bird species, and my favorite… the armadillos! We offer Kayaking on the property for a fee. We have a beautiful Hammock Garden free for guests to kick back and relax. Texoma Water Taxi is a text away to give guests a ride anywhere on the lake including restaurants. Rock-N A Ranch is roughly 20 minutes away and offers horseback riding. The Cabins and Campsites are within walking distance from each other but far enough away to create that illusion of privacy. We do have a neighborhood close by but you can’t see or hear them due to the woods. In my travels, I try to bring back something I’ve seen or learned to help improve the guest experience and environment. You’ll notice little touches of Asia, Mexico, and even Hill Country Texas! We pride ourselves on our excellent customer service and treat every guest like family. We’re always a text away! You’ll see us out and about on our golf carts. If you ever need anything just holler (: Check-in time is at 3 pm. Our staff works really hard to make sure everything is perfect for your stay and we can’t guarantee it will be if you arrive before then. Parking, we work really hard to keep our property beautiful. Be sure to park in parking areas only.

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!

When my husband brought me here for the first time, I started to notice all of the natural tree circles in the woods. I knew this place was magical and indeed has been. Please come and experience the energy of our forest. Our favorites include owls, deer, eagles ... to name just a few. Come to meditate, to reconnect, relax and be STILL. Learn more about this land: Pitch a tent in the lovely Pottawatomie County in Oklahoma. We have created a wonderful site in the middle of the forest for you! Lovely oak trees as far as the eye can see, barred owls, deer, hundreds of species of birds. Feel free to explore in designated areas (ask me about other areas outside your campsite), feel nature's rejuvenating energy and be in our sacred space. The site is walk in only, about 100 yards, so bring your wheel barrow or cart, although the property is 15 acres in its entirety, the campsite is on about a quarter acre with one large central site and a few alcove sites. We do have neighbors up the hill, but there is NO Visual of these houses. Sometimes neighborhood kids ride their 4 wheelers down our road and use our cul-de-sac to turn around, and you might occasionally hear them, but you can't see them and they can't see you, but most of the time it's very quiet.

The best camping in Chickasaw National Recreation Area, OK guide

Overview

About

Step into a natural oasis at Chickasaw, a massive recreation area in south-central Oklahoma. Tree-lined streams and lakes create endless opportunities for swimming, boating, fishing, and water sports. Thanks to the National Park Service’s oversight, this area is a clean, family-friendly escape.

This Oklahoma oasis is at its best in the summer. Cool off in the Little Niagara Falls swimming hole, or fish in Veterans Lake. During cooler weather, check out the Travertine Nature Center, or hike the Platt Historic District.

Bringing a boat? Head straight for the open waters of the Arbuckle recreation area. The 2,350-acre Lake of the Arbuckles and additional lands are popular with water skiers.

There are six different campgrounds in the region. If you’re after showers and hookups, head for year-round Buckhorn Campground and The Point Campground. Central Group Campground, Cold Springs Campground, and Rock Creek Campground offer rustic camping.

Notable campgrounds

Buckhorn Campground: Nestled on the eastern side of Lake of the Arbuckles, Buckhorn offers year-round camping with amenities like flush toilets and showers.
Rock Creek Campground: Open year-round, Rock Creek provides a rustic camping experience with 99 non-electrical sites and a group area.
The Point Campground: Overlooking the northern side of Lake of the Arbuckles, The Point features electrical sites and stunning lakeside views.

We absolutely love camping here. Campgrounds are clean and well maintained with updated restroom and shower facilities. Campground hosts are always helpful and courteous. Drive-up as well as walk-in tent sites available on Arbuckle lake. RV sites available as well. Beautiful view of the lake and the fishing is great. :-)

Rock Creek Campground

Rock creek was kind of 'meh' for me. We stayed during a warm weekend in Febuary and all the water was still turned off at the sites (understandably). Also, neighbors are fairly close in these sites and the extended loop sites that are further out were closed off at the time we went. Also, be aware that the falls area is a popular day-use area so you're unlikely to experience it 'quietly'.

This campsite is actually in another part of the state, and doesn't exist within the Wichita mountains. http://www.recreation.gov/camping/cold-springs-group-camp-ok-chickasaw-nra/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=74056
