With 15 sites at $14 per night, Tullahassee Loop Recreation Area provides drive-in camping managed by Oklahoma's Commissioners of the Land Office. Reservations are available through recreation.gov, and the campground welcomes both pets and big rigs. Sites include picnic tables, fire pits, and lantern posts, with drinking water, restrooms, and trash service available throughout the area.
The campground sits alongside water features that create opportunities for fishing and boating. A boat ramp provides direct access, while a playground serves families with children. Deborah C. notes the facility has "water available, playground, boat ramp and day use area." Some sites offer proximity to water on multiple sides, particularly appealing to anglers and those seeking waterfront camping.
Campers report occasional encounters with raccoons and snakes in the area. The campground supervisor actively manages the property, addressing any issues with unauthorized visitors who sometimes linger near the fishing areas. Cell service reaches the campground, and alcohol is permitted on-site.
For those wanting full hookups, Country View RV Park offers developed amenities a few miles northeast.
