Sunshine days
It was a quiet place to stay and to clean out our camper while we were taking a break from travels and sightseeing. Not much around to do and our campsite had a broken bench. Good quiet stop but needs some work and clean up.

It's a great campground where you can spend time and relax. However, it's important to book early because it fills up quickly. Once you're there, it's a perfect place to hang out with a big group and enjoy some downtime. You can also go on boat rides and do various activities, which are a lot of fun. I definitely recommend visiting at least once a year, especially in Oklahoma.

Largely underwhelming with poorly kept trails and picnic grounds. The bathrooms are nice though.

Lake Eufaula was a much needed escape from this Oklahoma heat. We found a small secluded beach close to a restroom, park, and covered pavilion that was perfect for our picnic lunch. It only cost us $5 for the entire car to get in but you can purchase seasonal passes too. There were also rv and camp sites available within walking distance too. We'll definitely return soon.

Sweet people in the welcome center. Walked around a little, but didn't stay very long.
