About Porum Landing

Where the sandy shores of Eufaula Lake meet the Oklahoma sky, Porum Landing Campground beckons adventurers to discover one of the state's most treasured waterfront destinations. This lakeside haven combines world-class fishing waters with pristine beaches, where morning mists give way to days filled with boating adventures and evenings painted in sunset colors. Winding trails lead explorers through diverse shoreline landscapes, from peaceful coves to dramatic overlooks, while the campground's well-appointed facilities serve as your basecamp for unforgettable lake country experiences.

Porum Landing offers several camping options, including tent sites, RV sites, and a group shelter accommodating up to 100 guests.

Historical SignificanceThe waters of Eufaula Lake hold a remarkable story of transformation. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson stood before gathered crowds to dedicate the newly completed dam on the Canadian River, marking not just the birth of one of Oklahoma's most beloved recreational lakes, but also a triumph of engineering designed to protect downstream communities from devastating floods. Today, this historic achievement has created a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts.

Spring can be dramatic with occasional humidity and rain showers that nurture the wildflowers and refresh the landscape.

Natural Features and SceneryNature has painted Porum Landing with an artist's palette of contrasts. Sandy beaches invite barefoot wandering and castle-building, while ancient rocky bluffs stand sentinel over the sparkling waters. When autumn arrives, the surrounding forest explodes in a symphony of golds, crimsons, and burnt oranges that reflect in the lake's mirror surface. The majestic Canadian River views stretch to horizons where emerald hills roll endlessly, creating postcard-perfect vistas that change with every season and time of day.

Geological RegionNestled in Oklahoma's verdant hill country, Porum Landing occupies a stunning position along Eufaula Lake, where the Canadian River pauses in its journey 27 miles before joining the mighty Arkansas. This unique location showcases the region's geological diversity—from the soft, sun-warmed sandy beaches perfect for afternoon relaxation to the dramatic rocky bluffs that tell stories of ancient rivers carving through prehistoric landscapes. The surrounding green hills create a natural amphitheater that frames the lake in emerald splendor.
