Good camping area, Water Access, Nice riding trails… all different terrains. Some mid holes, sand, some rocks, hills. Something for everyone! It’s fun for the whole family!! There are spots that are fun, like a tree with cans people have put on it, a flip flop covered tree. There’s a spot in the lower area where they decorate. It’s fun! The prices are typical compared to others, laid back, staff have seemed friendly. I wish we could ride after dark, otherwise it’s a good one!

Camped at Buzzard Roost site 38 which was right on the water. Every camp site was taken and you are extremely close to your neighbors which is why I gave it 4 not 5 stars. Bathrooms were clean and accessible as well as water and a hot shower. Spent 2 nights with my young son and it was a great outing. Lots to explore in the park that we didn't get to see but did make it to the nature center and tower! Caught 2 small fish off the pier close to the park office. All the attendants working were nice and helpful.

I recently visited Lake Murray State Park, and it was such a wonderful experience! Having been to many state parks, I truly believe each one has its own unique charm — and Lake Murray is no exception. The park is incredibly well-maintained — everything feels clean, organized, and top-notch. The lake water is crystal clear and beautifully blue, almost like the ocean! The Marina Beach gives off a real ocean-vibe with its soft sand and relaxing atmosphere. The air feels so fresh, and it’s the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy nature. The lodge and play areas are fantastic, ideal for both families and solo travelers. Don’t miss the Tucker Tower — the view from the top is breathtaking! The Nature Center is another highlight; it’s informative, beautifully designed, and offers an amazing panoramic view of the lake. A fun little spot I loved was near the Marina Beach Store, where people were feeding the fish — such a simple but joyful experience. The park is huge, with so much to explore — perfect for hiking, picnics, boating, or just spending a peaceful day by the water. Overall, it’s a must-visit for anyone who enjoys nature, scenic beauty, and a clean, well-kept environment.

Beautiful! Lots to do and see! Tucker Tower, the Marina, the Beach, RVing, boating! 👍👍 The water is SOooo clear! We didn't fish, but there seemed to be quite a few swimming around every spot we stopped at. Cute store with fishing gear, ice cream and t-shirts, + hats. Remember, pak out your trash, leave it like you found it, and bring water! $10/out of state parking Fee - pay online or at Ranger station down the road. (I think it's $8/in-state licenses)

Went camping at Tipps point this weekend and absolutely loved it. We were nervous at first because of the group camping area was packed. We looked for our spot and were impressed with how far away we were from everyone else. Our view was absolutely incredible and very peaceful. Only thing we didn’t care for was there were only a few restroom/showers 30 people were stacked waiting every time we went. Put another set by the group campsites and problem solved. Would 100% be going back to this place.

I grew up on this lake with my grandparents who always brought all the grandchildren here every summer. I thought after 30+ years I would bring my wife and see what it’s like now for our grandchildren. Did not disappoint! Still Lake Murry even though we’ve upgraded from tent camping to and rv it’s the best lake ever. Will continue the tradition with ours. Very clean and spots 10’ from water’s edge.

Cleanest lake in Oklahoma. Great for a day trip or even hiking. You have to pay to park,but it appears they use the money wisely. They do a great job making this lake a nice place to visit. And the camp grounds are well maintained too.

Lake Murray state park is absolutely beautiful! We love to camp here. We always bring our camper and stay in Elephant Rock but the cabins are super nice too! They are a bit ran down looking from the outside but the insides are nice. The lake is beautiful and the trails are awesome! I love that they have playgrounds and washer and dryers at the park too. The people that work at the state park store and lodge/cabin check in are very rude though. The park hosts are awesome and we have a great time, I just wish the employees were nicer inside the store and check in areas.

We stayed in one of the cabins by the lodge. This is the perfect place for fishing, especially at night. The lodge offers good amenities, and the nearby places offer a lot of activities. There's mini golf, water activities such as kayaking, paddle boarding, and even cruise tours in the lake. The lodge also has a swimming pool with varying dept and water play ground for the kids. This place is great for family or couple who want a slow, quiet place. There are a lot to visit while around the area, and i think it's a really nice place. I'd definitely go back here.

Only caught one fish the whole vacation but other than that the lake is amazing. The bathroom facilities were decent, plenty of playgrounds for children to have fun and meet new kids/friends, definitely dog friend but does abide by the leash laws. The multiple picnic areas appeared to be nice and kept from afar. We didn't utilize them personally. Very nice friendly neighbors. The office staff were amazing, interactive, informative and friendly. Over all, other than the fishing experience, we will definitely be back and highly recommend this lake and camping experience.
