Visitors often enjoy the rhythmic sounds of the waterway and the abundance of local wildlife that frequents the riverbanks throughout the changing seasons.

Tucked away just east of Broken Arrow, OK, the park provides easy access to the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System. The landscape is characterized by its lush bottomland hardwood trees and sweeping views of the river. Despite its proximity to the city, the secluded atmosphere makes it feel miles away from urban life, providing a perfect balance for those who want to experience Oklahoma nature while remaining close to modern conveniences.
Amenities & Park Features
The park features several campsites equipped with 30 and 50-amp electrical hookups to accommodate various RV sizes. While the sites offer a rustic feel, guests have access to essential facilities including vault toilets, a dump station, and potable water spigots. Boaters and anglers will appreciate the on-site boat ramp and accessible fishing dock, making it easy to spend a full day on the water before returning to a cozy campfire at your site.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Fishing is the primary draw here, with the river known for its healthy populations of catfish and crappie.

Nature enthusiasts should also visit the Ray Harral Nature Park, which features miles of walking trails and an educational center perfect for a family afternoon outing.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal match for avid anglers and birdwatchers who value quiet mornings by the water and a slower pace of life.

Bluff Landing located in Wagoner County in Eastern Broken Arrow, Oklahoma is such a Peaceful and Beautiful Place for Fishing, Camping and to Relax and enjoy Nature. Many Many Memories of the Past here in Bluff Landing. It was a very hidden and unknown spot for Fishing for years.
Dave Martinez
Beautiful place to camp, has electricity and water hookups. The bathrooms are filthy though, so sad for this beautiful place. The river has trees broken and scattered through the river so fishing is horrible and boating is tough.

This is my first OK COE. It's just okay. Very basic. But definitely in need of an extreme makeover👷🏻♂️🚧😫 There should be absolutely no excuse why the road should be so bad 😒 People are coming here with motorhomes travel trailers and boat trailers. And these potholes are just unacceptable! The fishing dock here is falling apart and hasn't been repaired or maintained in years 😒 And once again, the first thing I do after setting up is pick up trash. Nobody picks up the trash anymore. I'm talking about the trash left behind by the trash 🤨 Irresponsible disrespectful people, there's just no other way to explain 🤷🏻♂️

This has been our second time to this facility and it is excellent. Very quiet. There's a camp host to assist you if you need anything. The showers are so clean and well-maintained. And if you are a federal passport holder you get the cost for 50% which made it $12 for us.

We got our reservation as soon as they opeded this season. We took our dog and our cat camping in a tent. We parked the car in gront of the tent. We had electric and water hook up. It was great to hear and see all the wild life if you want to see a lot of deer hear and see hoot owls this is the place. We were there when it was mating season. We also seen armadillos to. The river was beautiful with the sunsets and sunrises. This is a wonderful place to camp.
