Sequoyah-State Park

We LOVE visiting Sequoyah-​State Park! It’s beautiful and so peaceful here!

The lodge was nice. What you would expect for the price. We ate there and the food was ok. Nothing special. Our order was wrong but we didn’t say anything. Waitress was not very good at her job. The breakfast the next morning was bad enough to complain about. Unfortunately OK State law says that you can not carry a firearm into any State building. The park yes but none of the buildings in the park. How am I supposed to stay overnight in a hotel without being armed?! We had a nice time though and the park and lodge are nice just stay away from the dinner. The second night we went into Wagoner and eat at Asian Star which was really good! It’s the orange building close to Wal-​Mart. Not the buffet.

One of the best kept secrets of North East Oklahoma. Just an awesome, not so little park on Ft Gibson lake. Great golf, frisbee golf, lodge, pool, camping, fishing, horseback riding, nature lodge. In short, anything you would want in a park. Why it’s not on more joggers and Mountain Bikers radars I don’t know.

This is, no doubt, the best state park I have ever camped at.
The lake is over flood stage, which is just about the only bad thing I can say about the park. They have a hotel/​lodge, swimming pool, golf course, disc golf, stables offering trail rides, a nature center with a naturalist who showed us around and let us pepper her with questions. The nature center is home to a few rescued wild animals that cannot be released, including a bald eagle, barred owl, red and gray fox, red fox and coyote, along with several snakes and turtles.
The campgrounds are in awesome shape, with level concrete pads and concrete picnic tables. Our loop has full hook ups, although most do not.
The park has a full service marina with pontoon boats, aqua trikes and peddle boats for rent, along with a ship store.
I am extremely impressed with this park. As much as I love our Texas State Parks, none that I have camped at can hold a candle to this place.

It was a beautiful day for a walk, so we drove to Hulbert, OK, and went to Sequoyah State Park. We walked up and down some hills, across the golf course, along the lake, and up to the nature center. It was not an easy walk, but it was so much fun! Oreo enjoyed it as well.
Sequoyah is a fun state park — the trails there are all paved and go for about 12 miles. There are cabins, boats, playgrounds, campgrounds, and even horse back riding. There is a nature center with indoor displays as well as live animals.
This is on my to do list for next spring. I’m going to rent a cabin next time I go. I’m wondering if they have pontoon rentals. Wouldn’t it be fun to take Oreo out on a pontoon again!

Sequoyah State Park is a vintage facility on the shores of Ft. Gibson Lake. We took advantage of a cool and rainy Oklahoma forecast, for a one-​nighter in one of the nearly 60 year old cabins.
Phone reservations were made just one day ahead of our trip and were a breeze. We reserved a dog-​friendly cabin, which turned out to be part of a four-​plex of adjoining accomodations.
In spite of being almost as old as myself, our cabin was big enough for two people and our little dog and was clean, tidy and functional. It had a big microwave, a two-​burner glasstop stove, refrigerator and just enough pots, pans and dishes.
The floors were tiled throughout. The double bed was comfortable. A 32-​inch flatscreen TV had about a dozen channels. The air conditioner worked fine and a ceiling fan worked just fine.
We opted for brats on the charcoal grill just outside.
The park was pretty quiet during our midweek stay. We were the only occupants in our four-​plex. At night, it was very quiet and calm.
We went through the breakfast buffet the next morning in the main lodge. Not a huge selection, but good scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, biscuits and gravy. The buffet also included cold breakfast items, some fruit and pastries.
In summary, the cabins are just fine. There’s no wifi, but that was okay with me. Wifi is available in the main lodge.
The park has a variety of activities, including boat rentals, horse riding, a wildlife center and very nice golf course
We will go back again. Checkout was $ 95, including room, taxes and the ten dollar dog fee.

We’re staying in the Seminole part of this BEAUTIFUL State Park. It’s where you want to camp if you’ve got an RV and you want all the necessary connections in the most recently upgraded part of this park. I suggest that you visit directly with the «camp host» of this particular camping area after you check in at the front of the park. The host can work with you on what is reserved specifically, and for which days. When we arrived there was a yellow reserved sign on every space! The spaces in Seminole have everything you need. This is a GREAT place to stay easily for at least a few nights!

Heavily treed park with access to Lake Fort Gibson. Lodge, golf, disc golf, marina, nature center and hiking. There is supposed to be horse riding, but I haven’t seen that. It is pretty well maintained and feels safe.
