SE Oklahoma camping
On our way home from the Waltz Across Texas rally, we would like to explore southeast Oklahoma.
Curious about any state park or COE camping sites that others have liked. We are looking at COE around Sardis Lake, Clayton Lake St Pk, Talimena St Pk. The Ouachita National Forest seems like it would be a pretty place to explore.
Then headed through northwest AR.
Any suggestions for these Hoosiers?
Thank you.

Do you plan to stay in North west Arkansas any length of time?

We will spend 3 or 4 days in NW AR. Want to see some Ozark Mt area. We have also heard about Crystal Bridges?Museum near Bentonville. We were told to go there.

At sardis we stay at potato hills coe, lake clayton is beautiful worth a look but would not camp here too tight and we have a 23 ft trailer! Cedar lake is a great forest service place to stay and do talimena drive.

We like Beavers Bend State Park in SE Oklahoma and stayed at Withrow State Park in NW Arkansas last year. Close to Eureka Springs and the Crystal Bridges Museum is a must. Bentonville worth a visit.

Crater of Diamonds State Park near Murfreesboro, AR is worth a stop. Good campground there, and you might just get lucky and find a diamond. Maybe the one we (obviously) passed over.

We stayed at a cabin in Poteau, ok, the end of september, while looking at new 5ers over there at a dealer. The cabins were on long lake, a small little lake that was beautiful and they also had about 20 camp sites that I believe were full hookup.
Google Long Lake Resort, not the most informitive site but its better than what im saying.
We took the kids fishing, and the cabins were VERY nice, and the whole place was beautiful and peaceful!

Look into Mt. Magazine SP in NW Arkansas. Highest point in Arkansas nice camp ground with hiking trails. We were there last year in March and it snowed on us two days. The road up from the local town not too bad, we made it in a 38' motorhome no problems.

X2 on Queen Wilhemena. Eastern approach is curvier. (Is that a word?)

If you are going to visit Bentonville you have to check out the Wal-Mart Museum. It is just kind of interesting.

10/4 on that - approach from the north is fairly easy - but the road in from south is STEEP & CURVIER also

I would highly recommend Lake Broken Bow in SE Oklahoma. There are several nice campgrounds around Hoochatown. We have been going there every year for several years.
