Dave's Hideout

3 sites · RVs, Tents19 acres · Kenefic, OK

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!

3 nights at this is Paradise on Lake Texoma

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.

2 nights at BentProp Campground

The owner was very gracious. We would love to visit here again sometime.

2 nights at Oaklore Forest

Camping here was a great experience! The trail to the campsite was well maintained and everything was so scenic. It was very refreshing and we were able to see so many birds as well. Our toddlers had a blast and Monica was very helpful and kind!

Weekend Trip to The Lodges at Fossil Creek

Beautiful property Well groomed, safe gated community. The pond with Fountain are very pleasant. I would definitely stay there again

Weekend Trip to The Lodges at Fossil Creek

Good communication from the host! Peaceful, relaxing location. No wifi in the rental RV, but pretty good cell coverage. I had some work to catch up on, but could use my phone as a hotspot and was still able to spend some time contemplating the jetski in the middle of the catch-and-release pond!

1 night at BentProp Campground

I highly recommend both the lovely, secluded campground area plus the host. Glenn came by to meet me at check in and made me feel so welcome plus offered any help if I needed anything. This was my first Hipcamp experience and it really delivered. Definitely ecommend staying if you’re nearby and want to skip the hotel for quiet and relaxation

1 night at BentProp Campground

It was nice to have the place all to myself. I would definitely recommend staying there. Glenn is a nice guy. Unfortunately, the skies were not clear. So I didn't get to see any stars. Just be where there are fire ant dens everywhere.

2 nights at Chivalry Friesians Ranch

Amazing as always! We both had a great time! We missed Donkey the first day but he came by the following night and it was so lovely to see him and the horses. The sky was amazing as always. Couldn't have asked for a better spot or a better trip! They did a lot of trimming since the last time we went and I never knew how big the property actually was!

4 nights at this is Paradise on Lake Texoma

My partner and I had a lovely spring break getaway here on Lake Texoma. We loved watching the sunset over the lake and walking along the coast in the mornings. It rained quite a bit our first two days in town, so we retreated into the nearby town of Denison where we explored bookstores, antique malls, and had the BEST pizza at Say When Brewing. We were grateful for the heater unit in our Kasita and later the AC when it started to warm up again. We had a wonderful time reading, playing board games, watching movies on the projector we brought, and enjoying each others company. Highly recommend!

I had a great time with my 3 young boys. Glenn was very accommodating and checked in on us without being at all intrusive. The site was easy to find and secluded. The kiddos were able to reel in a few small bluegill (even beginning of March) which was fun for them. Highly recommended!

We had a GREAT stay at Destiny’s place. Due to the cold weather, she let us stay in the cabin and it was so comfortable and amazing! We would 1000% recommend this stay to everyone. Not only are the animals great, but the people are too. We’ll definitely be back again.

1 night at BentProp Campground

Super great! A calm , soothing and refreshing experience in the « outbacks » of Oklahoma. The owner of the place provided us with fast replies to our questions and requests and on top of that , unlike other campgrounds owners he gave us clear and precise instructions on how to get there. The site was extremely clean and had picnic tables plus fire pits along with a bunch of firewood next to his shed in the back of the property a couple feet next to the pond.

1 night at BentProp Campground

Excellent place will definitely be back if I’m ever in Oklahoma again! Great host. Only thing is it would be a lil easier if there was signs to go straight to camp I was a little lost but I got it afterwards.

this is Paradise on Lake Texoma

27 sites · Lodging, Tents100 acres · Pottsboro, TX

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.

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.

Camping in Chickasaw National Recreation Area 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.

Buckhorn Campground

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

Buckhorn Campground

This campground was so beautiful. We stayed in Loop D (the walk-in sites) at site 108, so we got a great view of the lake right behind our tent. You can walk 20 feet from the site and get your toes wet! The campground had clean restrooms just a short walking distance from our site. I would definitely stay here again, it was so beautiful (especially for Oklahoma!).
