It is a preferred destination for those who appreciate spacious campsites and a peaceful atmosphere away from heavy highway noise.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in Mead, Oklahoma, the park is nestled along the eastern banks of Lake Texoma. The surrounding landscape is characterized by rolling hills and dense woodlands, providing a mix of sun and shade throughout the grounds. Its position on the lake makes it a prime spot for watching sunsets over the water. The park's proximity to the Texas-Oklahoma border makes it a convenient stop for travelers moving through the Red River Valley region.

Campers have access to essential facilities such as hot showers, flush toilets, and a convenient on-site dump station. For those bringing watercraft, the park offers a dedicated boat ramp and a designated swimming beach area. Large concrete pads at many sites help accommodate bigger rigs, while picnic tables and fire rings encourage outdoor living at every site.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Fishing is a major draw here, as Lake Texoma is world-renowned for its striped bass fishing. Beyond the water, visitors can explore the nearby city of Durant, which is home to the Choctaw Casino & Resort for entertainment and dining. Nature enthusiasts often visit the Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge located across the border in Texas. Local marinas are just a short drive away, offering boat rentals and supplies for a full day of exploration on the lake.

This is a scenic 👀 large, well maintained COE Park. 🙌🏻One of the best I have visited in the last two months 🤩 Four large loops built on two peninsulas, but only two bathrooms with two showers each. However once again, my biggest complaint is the restroom situation🚻 Just not enough facilities, in enough locations for the amount of people. 🤷🏻♂️ Also of note is the unusual presence of park rangers🚨. Sometimes three trucks roaming around the campground at the same time. At times I would see a ranger drive through my loop once every hour! Granted this probably had something to do with the Labor Day holiday weekend because I never saw anyone on Tuesday or Wednesday 🫢
