We stayed at site #2 and we had an incredible time! It was just the get away we were hoping for and then some. The view from our site was breathtaking, the history of the park was enchanting, and the nature surrounding us was relaxing to say the least. And even with all of that, our attention was often drawn to an unexpected visitor, Stoney the park cat🤍 We would definitely recommend this campground to anyone who is looking to get away for a few days. Tips: Harps in town has great groceries in case you forget anything, stake your tent if you stay on the cliff side in case of occasional wind gusts, and be sure to bring Stoney some milk

Tent camping at Heavener #10 was a dream. It’s very secluded and felt private. The ground is rocky and the tent pad is cement. I wish there was more of a grassy area to hangout in. The facilities are very nice and felt like a resort considering it’s a campsite. The trail is nice and the Runestone is so cool. We will definitely be returning soon.

It was raining and cold when we camped but we still had an incredible experience. The location is absolutely breathtaking, surrounded by forests and stunning mountain views. The campsites are well-maintained, with fire rings, clean facilities and plenty of space to set up camp. The peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We enjoyed hiking nearby trails, as well as down to the runestone. The lady at the visitor center/gift shop was friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to reconnect with nature and enjoy a peaceful getaway!

Upon our arrival, we fell in love with the area. The park is beautiful and well maintained. Unfortunately, we had to cut our trip short due to severe weather. The park host and Manager were amazing during our short stay. We will be rescheduling for sure and are looking forward to being able to stay for the weekend.

We came to Heavener Runestone Park with three families and nine young children and had the BEST time! Totally worth the drive from Tulsa. The park is beautiful and secluded, very clean and well kept. It has some really fun little themed touches in keeping with the Viking Runestone. The history around the Runestone is so interesting, the kids loved hearing about the Vikings. The hiking was beautiful and just challenging enough to be fun while accessible for little kids. Bathrooms were clean and easily accessed from our tent sites. The views were spectacular. Out of the three cliff tent sites I would say only 1 was safe for kids, 2 and 3 were too close to the cliff (beautiful views though). The playground was really fun and right by site 1. It’s a big site so we put four tents and 15 people on that site comfortably, it also has a covered pavilion which helped us in the rain and a brief storm. The park hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. One last note, you do need to bring your own drinking water in. We had such a great time and would totally recommend the park for adults or families. My only complaint was the persistent barking dog on the private residence by the entrance to the park, including late at night.

This was a great weekend getaway with my children! It had a nice playground, and the trails were challenging yet manageable for the kids. The facilities were kept clean and nice, and the staff were friendly.

This is a beautiful location and the view is stunning. The campsite store is amazing and has so many great finds. We appreciated the great bathrooms and shower house. Everything is located conveniently and we loved the layout of everything on the campsite as well. Very well lit paths and they were very accommodating whenever we requested to move to a spot that was a better shelter from the winds since the weather ended up being very windy for our stay. We will def be back to stay in #2 in the future though because that view is fantastic! We were able to enjoy the sunset views before camping out in our tent on site #4.

We just spent the weekend in campsite #7. We had such a great time! I’ve already picked out my ideal spot for next time. The gift shop was very impressive. My daughter got a bear head lamp and wanted to thank you for helping her. We will be back.

Clean and ready campsite. Information/gift shop employee wad very friendly and helpful. Quite park even near the playground on a Saturday. Trails well marked and well maintained. Another employee near the community building was friendly as well and asked us about our stay. Great view of the sunset from campsite #3.

A last minute decision to camp while at work on Friday led me to find a spot near broken bow, I looked at some pics and booked this park, and little did I know what it was!!!! Cool unexpected state park with neat views and history! The over all place is cool to visit, and the campsite was decent. Be aware of the hike to site 10 if you were planning on leaving most of your gear in your car…was a hike up! Runes in Oklahoma, who knew!

Had a wonderful experience at Heavener! The Park Host was very helpful with our late arrival time. It was a little rough setting up camp so late, but so worth the view when we woke up! Sunrise and sunset were gorgeous against the fall colors! The park staff was super friendly and helpful, especially being greeted by Stoney the camp cat! The hike to the runes was quite an experience and blue trail was a great workout 😊 Look forward to returning…hopefully sooner than later!

Enjoyed our stay. Water was supposed to be on site. The spigot on the camp site was broken. Was able to get water from another site. Loved the Runestone and the trails. The camp staff were so nice and helpful.

This spot had a beautiful overlook. Amazing sunsets. You could see the stars. The trees really help with wind, which was good because we had a hard time getting the stakes in the ground in some spots. The restrooms were clean and the individual showers were hot and had amazing water pressure. Staying at the OP, there was a little bit of a walk to the bathroom but it was worth it. I did see a review about the train horns, there are train horns but none of us were bothered by it. It wasn't loud enough to wake us up and it was kinda cool being able to look down on the train. I can see if maybe you're a light sleeper you should bring ear plugs just in case. The trails were clean, well though out, and clearly marked. The staff was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, there was a burn ban when we were there, which would have made it a perfect trip. The fire ring was a good size and there was firewood for purchase. If you choose the OP there might be a few cars that stop by to see the view from the parking lot. This is not a remote camping spot. You should never cut down the trees in a park, and you should expect to see other people, after all, there are restrooms and showers. The park was quiet and it felt safe. It is perfect for first time campers, families and if you want to camp comfortably with a bathroom and shower option. The covered Pavillion was perfect for when it started to rain. We were able to pack up under the cover.

#7 - Tent Site
It's a beautiful park with nature trails and a historic artifact. The park's staff is friendly and helpful. There is a playground for kids. And the park is dog friendly with bags available in the park for cleaning up after them.
The downside is that bathrooms are at one end of the park and showers at the other end. It's an uphill walk of about 200 yards from the bathroom to the shower.
And parking for the tent sites can be 20 to 30 yards away. That's not too bad if you are packing light.

Nice, small State park, heavily wooded with lots of space between sites. Pleasant and easy reception. Outside of a sleepy town. Great sunset views over valley. Good access to high Ouachita areas about half an hour away.

I booked this campsite for my maid of honor and they had the most stellar view. This site has a convenient semi circle drive that goes right next to the picnic table. It was perfect for their tailgate tent. This has to be one of the cleanest parks we've ever been to. It was a beautiful weekend for our wedding. Thank you for having us.

#10 - Camp Road
I had visited this park several times and still didn't realize how close all the campsites are. All the sites within the loop are right on top of each other. 1, 2, maybe 3, and 10 are very secluded, though! We love this park and had the most perfect wedding there this past weekend. The park staff are very friendly and helpful
