About this campground
Perched along the sparkling shores of Lake of the Arbuckles in south-central Oklahoma, The Point Campground beckons outdoor enthusiasts with its perfect blend of water adventures and natural beauty. Whether you're launching your boat at dawn, spotting rare birds through binoculars, or casting a line into the lake's tranquil waters, this versatile campground welcomes everyone from luxury RV travelers to traditional tent campers seeking an authentic connection with nature.
The Point Campground caters to various types of campers, including RV, tent, and group camping. Sites are equipped with electric and water hookups, picnic tables, and fire pits.
Historical SignificanceYour stay at The Point places you at the heart of the Chickasaw National Recreation Area, where centuries of Native American heritage blend seamlessly with natural wonders. Just minutes away, the interactive Travertine Nature Center unveils the area's geological mysteries through hands-on exhibits, while the nearby Chickasaw Cultural Center offers an immersive journey through the traditions, art, and stories of the Chickasaw Nation—making your camping trip both an outdoor adventure and a cultural exploration.
Weather and SeasonsOklahoma's dynamic weather adds character to every camping experience here, where Mother Nature keeps you on your toes with dramatic thunderstorms, intense summer sunshine, and the occasional display of raw power. Spring and fall reward visitors with picture-perfect conditions—crisp mornings give way to warm afternoons ideal for hiking, while gentle breezes ripple across the lake. Summer adventurers should prepare for the heat, and spring visitors should stay weather-aware as tornado season brings its own excitement to the plains.
ElevationRising from the ancient Arbuckle Mountains, The Point Campground offers a gentle elevation that provides sweeping views across the landscape while remaining easily accessible for all visitors. These time-worn peaks create a natural amphitheater around your campsite, offering both shelter and spectacular vantage points.
Natural Features and SceneryThe rolling Arbuckle Mountains cradle this campground in a tapestry of prairie grasslands and hardwood forests, creating diverse habitats where wildlife thrives. Wake to deer grazing in the morning mist, watch clever raccoons investigate the twilight hours, and catch glimpses of swift jackrabbits bounding through the undergrowth. Opossums emerge under starlight, while the changing ecosystems—from open meadows to shaded groves—offer endless opportunities for nature photography and wildlife observation.
Geological RegionNestled within the ancient Arbuckle Mountains of south-central Oklahoma, The Point Campground sits at the fascinating convergence known as the Crosstimbers—where the vast western plains dramatically meet the lush eastern forests. This unique ecological crossroads surrounds the magnificent Lake of the Arbuckles, a 2,350-acre aquatic playground carved into the weathered limestone hills, creating a landscape where every sunrise paints the water in different hues and every sunset transforms the mountains into silhouettes against the prairie sky.
