Situated in southwestern Oklahoma near the town of Fort Cobb, the park is defined by the impressive 4,000-acre reservoir. The surrounding terrain features rolling hills and native prairies, providing a picturesque backdrop for the various campground loops. The proximity to the Washita River valley makes it a hotspot for local wildlife and seasonal birdwatching.

Loved this place, I stayed in the primative tent sites on two occasions. Park is very well maintained, showers were great. Campsites ate spaced nicely on the catfish cove side. I stopped on the way out west and made a point to stay here on the way back.

The Fort Cobb State Park is a beautiful park with humongous lake and a golf park for you and your friends and family to play, especially exploring the outdoors as well. It's a must visit!

Very nice lake for picnicking, fishing, and camping. Interesting fact: 3 months ago, over 90K saugeye fingerlings were released into this lake. These fish are aggressive and can grow to catchable a size by the following spring season. The Ft Cobb lake limit is 6 saugeye/walleye at 14 inches or better. I didn't catch any saugeye, but I'm not going to turn down a free catfish dinner. For RVers, At Sunset Cove, by the marina, there is only 1 full hookup site, #10, next to the camp host. Nice covered fishing pier, a big boat ramp, and golfing. The park is well maintained and looks really nice. Eagle's Nest campground is on the west shore with more full hookups. Overall, this is one of the best looking/maintained state parks in Oklahoma.

My happy place , I like doing the heart healthy hiking trail they have wild blackberry bushes you can pick in summer while you hike . I like fishing on boats or on shore at the different free spots and also collecting nature at carnegie dock . The free spots I frequest more often , but the pay places are really nice in comparison. People like to trash the free spots a lot . Please clean up after yourself .
