BUCKHORN CAMPGROUND (OK) CHICKASAW NRA

OVERVIEW Buckhorn area campgrounds are within close proximity to the Lake of the Arbuckles. Comfortable campsites and a lighthearted atmosphere makes this site an excellent place to camp. The Lake of the Arbuckles was built in 1966 by the Bureau of Land Reclamation, and has been voted the best bass fishing in Oklahoma. Boat ramps and docks are available throughout the 36 miles of shoreline. Look for wildlife like the red fox, bobcat, and opossum, and watch the trees for glimpses of flying squirrels. RECREATION Bring your boat or jet skis and cruise the lake, or pack your fishing rods to catch some of the state's finest bass, perch and crappies. The area is most popular for water sports, but hiking and biking is a great way to explore the land and take in views of the lake.
