Chickasaw National Recreation Area Buckhorn Campground
Buckhorn sits on the shores of Lake of the Arbuckles with 88 sites ranging from primitive tent spots to full RV hookups. The campground offers direct access to swimming beaches, hiking trails, and the famous mineral springs that made this area a destination since the 1800s. Sites are spacious with mature shade trees, though summer weekends fill up fast with families from Dallas and Oklahoma City.
Reserve ahead for peak season visits — walk-ups are rare between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The nearby Travertine Nature Center provides trail maps and spring water history. Lake levels can drop significantly during drought years, affecting boat launches.
