Tips & Recommendations

  • 1Reserve popular campgrounds like Buckhorn and The Point in Chickasaw National Recreation Area at least three months ahead for spring and fall weekends, as these fill quickly due to their exceptional facilities and scenery.
  • 2Bring extra tie-downs and stakes for tent camping, as Oklahoma's wind can be persistent, particularly in prairie settings and open lakeside areas.
  • 3Summer camping requires serious heat management—plan activities for early morning and evening, bring multiple methods of staying cool, and ensure adequate shade at your campsite.
  • 4Ticks are prevalent from April through October in wooded and grassy areas; use permethrin-treated clothing and perform thorough checks after hiking.
