Tullahassee Loop Recreation Area

Is it possible to enjoy the serenity of riverside camping while being close to small-town charm? At Tullahassee Loop Recreation Area, just southwest of Wagoner, Oklahoma, the answer is a resounding yes. This peaceful campground sits along a quiet oxbow of the Arkansas River, offering direct water access, lush hardwood forest surroundings, and a variety of recreational opportunities.

The campground features a mix of tent and RV sites, many shaded by mature trees that enhance the tranquil atmosphere. With amenities such as fire pits, picnic tables, restrooms, and a boat ramp, campers are well-equipped for relaxation or adventure. The area is a haven for anglers, with waters teeming with bass, crappie, and catfish, while kayaking, boating, and wildlife observation invite further exploration. A playground adds a family-friendly touch. However, campers should note the rustic nature of the facilities—electric hookups and showers are not available.

Located just minutes from Fort Gibson Lake and about 30 minutes from Muskogee, Tullahassee Loop provides easy access to additional outdoor recreation and cultural sites, including historical attractions tied to Oklahoma’s Cherokee and Creek Nations. Whether for a peaceful weekend escape or a short stopover, this riverside retreat offers a harmonious blend of seclusion, natural beauty, and recreational variety.
