Belle Starr Park Campground

The not so good: Site needed some serious help for leveling, would have been nice to know in advance that we would need three hoses to get to water. Stickers in the grass, poor pup had to stay on the asphalt for most of the walks.

The good: Site was one of the more private. Great view over the lake, steps from the water. The stars at night were spectacular, very little city light. Fellow campers were considerate, quiet hours were well observed. Facilities were clean from my walk through.

We would stay at Lake Eufaula again but would probably try a different loop.

We had a great time staying at Belle Starr. We originally booked appt C9 but then discovered there was no water access for the site. Having two kids under 4, water access is VERY important to us. We switched to C10 and it ended up being a great spot. We were right on the lake, we had amazing weather, and the grounds were nicely maintained. There were a few negatives, shared water being a big one. Many sites have the water spicket between them with the intention that you would share. I’ve never experienced this before but we new about the possibility ahead of time so we brought a hose splitter and and hose extension. If you don’t bring a hose extension it is very likely you won’t be able to reach the water! Because of the water access situation, many sites have two pads almost right on top of each other. If someone would have booked c11, our trailers would have been nose to nose and their picnic table would have been 5 feet from our kitchen window. Luckily the campground was not close to full so we didn’t have any direct neighbors the whole time we were there. I did use the restroom by the boat ramp and it was a hole and the ground that was pretty sick. The C loop where we were was near the boat ramp. It’s a good loop to be in and even though we were near the ramp, the traffic wasn’t crazy. We were walking distance to a swimming beach which my son loved. The area directly surrounding my site was all rocks so you can’t get down to the water unless you walk about 3 sites over. The W loop is a little older with less shade on the sites that are lakefront. A lot of larger rigs were parked in this area. The E loop was nice with a park for the kids and a good size beach area. The park on the E loop was an old school metal and wood playground that I grew up with. It could have used a little mowing attention but we still had fun. We also visited the newer plastic park on the C loop by the restrooms. Very well shaded and nice for my 3 year old. Fishing was good. Flys will get very bad if you don’t keep your camp tidy. The campground was also extremely quiet which was awesome! Overall this a great place to stay in this area OK. We will be back!

We stayed here on the way back from Broken Bow, Oklahoma as we returned to Tulsa with our new 5th wheel. The arrival experience was great (though driving through the front gate made me nervous because the opening was a bit tight). Our site was easy to get to, a spacious pull-thru with plenty of space for the truck and even a nice covered patio area. It rained almost the whole time we were there, so the covering was nice. We had 50 amp power which I really enjoyed as well. We were walking distance to a pretty good, clean bathrooom facility. The showers worked well. A small but acceptable park for our kid too.

We were also about 40 feet from the water and even a little beach area where we went to skip rocks.

Probably the largest negatives were that the grass was not mowed so we had to step pretty high to get around and we had to share water with the site next to us.

I would stay again if we were going through the area and would just try to plan to get a site where we had easier water access and were closer to the bathrooms.
