Great hiking, nice campsites on the lake. Host was helpful and friendly. Beware of the first come first serve process.

Beautiful campground and lake. Will return

@PatriciaT51824 · Camped on Jul 15, 2024 at Campsite #20

the camp ground was beautiful. Grass cut and clean. I wish that you could reserve sites along the small lake waterfront instead of being FF. If you drive 4 1/2 hours to get there, you would be very disappointed not to be able to be on the lake. Needs camping / RV sites along the big lake. Grass around the small lake needs cutting . I would make it my go to place if I could reserve along the waterfront on the small lake.

A comfortable stay on the lake, with surprisingly few bugs or 'camp visitors' through the night. The lake was the perfect temp for swimming and despite being a holiday weekend (before July 4th), the place was still fairly open. I didn't go fishing, but it reminds me so much of a place I went all the time as a kid, and I would put money on some good fish living in there, even if just for the kids.

This is a really nice national forest park on a lovely lake. There is a trail around the lake with side trails. Our site was #21 and the only site with sewer as it used to be a park host site. The other sites have water and electric and all are very nice. Most have new concrete picnic tables. We were near the restroom, and it's older and could use a refresh. Park host is very nice and came around to great us.

Choctaw was beautiful and peaceful!

@WilliamN571841 · Camped on May 15, 2024 at Campsite #20

Always a pleasant and peaceful trip. Quiet location. Camp host is awesome. Good walking trails. Grandkids enjoy the playground and swimming area.

@CherylT5290775 · Camped on Apr 27, 2024 at Campsite #20

Small park, but well cared for. Beautiful lake with a nice trail around it. Park host was very friendly & informative.

@jackw5749867 · Camped on Mar 29, 2024 at Campsite #19

Wonderful smaller campground. Great sites and great views of the lake. All sites are well maintained and dry. Great hiking trails around the lake and through the woods, all accessible right from the campground.

@MarvinN82128E4 · Camped on Mar 27, 2024 at Campsite #17

A great place for camping with family and friends we had a blast and the host was very friendly and helpful.

@RobertH1222975 · Camped on Mar 23, 2024 at Campsite #Standard Electric

Site #6 was an excellent spot. We tested our new pop up camper for two nights. Choctaw lake is a beautiful spot with a great Camp Host. If I could change anything it would be additional toilets in the mens restroom and showers that are not on a timer. The water was hot, with plenty of pressure, but you had to hit the button every 30 seconds to keep the water flowing. Its for a good reason to cut down on waste, and I get that. Lets just up the timer to 60 seconds at least lol.

@JimH4011279 · Camped on Mar 1, 2024 at Campsite #17

The spots were nice. Gave 3 stars because bath house was worst we have seen. Plumbing was clogged and bath house was filthy. Guardians dropped off unsupervised young teenage tent campers across from us and we were uncomfotable for them and us.Never saw the host the 2 nights we were there. Beautiful lake and hiking was awesome.Planning to go again.

@CharlesB538317 · Camped on Feb 11, 2024 at Campsite #20

@chrisf4258649 · Camped on Nov 20, 2023 at Campsite #13

We just stayed a night, nice facilities, quiet. Great path around the lake for walking or riding a bicycle. The tent pads drain well. Will come back!

@MikeM9721189 · Camped on Nov 16, 2023 at Campsite #20

Purely by chance we ended up at Choctaw Lake. We had intended on staying at the Jeff Busby campground on the Trace parkway, but it was full. When we rolled into the Choctaw campground, it felt like driving into a postcard. Beautiful, quiet location with multiple trails to hike. Gorgeous lake with fish and boating access. Though, Im not sure if motorized boats are allowed. You may want to check that before you show up. We loved this place so much that we ended up staying an additional 3 days. We we able to take our dog on just about all the hikes in the area. Did I mention that it is gorgeous there??

@LehamanB80128F · Camped on Nov 5, 2023 at Campsite #15

This is a beautiful campground and so peaceful. Our camp host was very welcoming and helpful. We will return here again and again.

@MARSHALLM1A60A · Camped on Nov 3, 2023 at Campsite #19

Besides the lack of maintaining the disc golf course and some basic trail maintenance in some spots this place is a gem. Campsite hook ups were functional and the site itself was level with lantern hanger, awesome fire pit and grill and a large picnic table to boot. The lake has a nice trail around it and we saw more than a few fishermen from the shore and in boats. Great time of year as well. Camp host was friendly and had the place looking swell.

@DonC1100217 · Camped on Oct 30, 2023 at Campsite #20

Wonderful park with hiking, swimming and boating.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
