Elevation614 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies a geological crossroads where the Canadian River once joined the Arkansas before Eufaula Lake filled the confluence. Sandy beaches alternate with rocky outcroppings along the shoreline, and green hills rise around the water in layers that expose ancient bedrock in occasional bluffs. At 614 feet elevation, the landscape shifts from smooth sand to weathered stone, creating hidden coves around each bend. Deer appear at the water's edge at dusk, and great blue herons fish the shallows at dawn.

Lodging & AccommodationsThere are no hotel-style accommodations or cabins within the campground.

Programs & ActivitiesNo cultural or educational programs are offered.
