About Rattan Landing

Rattan Landing sits on the shore of Hugo Lake in southeastern Oklahoma, managed by Hugo Lake State Park near the small town of Sawyer. This small, 13-site campground offers electric and water hookups during the operating season, a boat ramp, and direct access to some of the lake's best bass and catfish structure. Anglers and boaters appreciate the quiet atmosphere, spacious sites, and productive spring fishing when river flows concentrate gamefish near the shoreline.

Rattan Landing caters to RV and tent camping. Primitive or glamping options are not mentioned, but group camping does not appear to be a designated feature.

Elevation433 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies 40 acres at 433 feet elevation, where dense woodland alternates with open meadows shaped by the Kiamichi River. Ancient trees shade the sites and support wildlife populations including deer, mink, fox, and beaver. Waterfowl are common, especially during migration. The river flows clear here before entering Hugo Lake's flooded timber sections, creating habitat for bass and catfish. Steep embankments separate most campsites from the water, limiting direct river access.

AccessibilityAccessibility features are limited. The steep embankments to the river are noted as a challenge for individuals with physical disabilities: 'Wish we could've seen the river from our campsite but it's very overgrown. Being disabled I couldn't make it down the steep hill to get to the river.

Site SizeThe campsites accommodate various-sized vehicles and setups. Sites 2, 3, 6, 7, and 13 are pull-thru sites large enough for trailers and Class-A rigs. Sites 1, 4, 5, and 8 through 12 are reverse-in only.

PrivacyPrivacy varies by site. Some sites are located on the inner loop, lacking direct river access (e.g., sites 4, 5, and 13), while others are adjacent to the river but separated by steep embankments.

Total Campsites13 campsites

Recommended SitesSelect sites 2, 3, 6, or 7 for pull-through convenience. Sites closer to the river may provide better views, but check embankment conditions.
