Clayton Lake State Park Camping
Small quiet state park in the Kiamichi Mountains with lakeside campsites, a few cabins and some of the darkest skies in Oklahoma
A small, quiet state park in the Kiamichi Mountains with campsites and a handful of cabins around a modest fishing lake. It sits in genuinely rural southeastern Oklahoma, which is exactly the appeal: dark skies at night, almost no traffic noise, and a lake calm enough for young kids to paddle. The park is a natural stop on the drive between Broken Bow and the Talimena Scenic Drive. Facilities are basic compared with Beavers Bend, so plan to bring what you need rather than counting on a store nearby.
