Flat Rock Creek

Flat Rock Creek is located on the east shore of Flat Rock Bay on Fort Gibson Lake in northeastern Oklahoma, and the park offers a chance to view spectacular sunsets. Even though this campground is a little off the beaten path, it has a strong and loyal following — campers love the remote setting and family friendly atmosphere. The nearly 20,000-acre lake offers great boating and swimming opportunities. Anglers enjoy fishing for black bass, white bass, crappie and several varieties of catfish and panfish. The lake's 225 miles of shoreline are home to thousands of acres of public hunting lands, where white-tailed deer, turkey, mourning dove, duck, geese, cottontail rabbit and squirrel roam. This seasonal campground offers 30 family sites and one group day-use picnic shelter, all with electric hookups. An additional site without hookups is available on a first come, first served basis. Visitors can enjoy all the facilities year round. Amenities include flush and pit toilets, drinking water, showers, a dump station and boat ramp. An oak-hickory woodland covers the rolling hills of the region, and the protected shallow cove provides an ideal location for kayaks and canoes. Chouteau has a rich Amish culture, so grab a meal at the Dutch Pantry or pick up Amish products and baked items at The Amish Cheese House and Nettie Ann's Bakery; Chouteau also hosts Black Buggy Days annually in September. Wagoner was known as the "Queen City of the Prairie," and the locals value their historic downtown and rich railroad history — it is home to the Bluegrass and Chili Festival, Summerfest, an annual tractor pull, city-wide Christmas celebrations and lights, and Beats, Brews and BBQ. Historic Fort Gibson, established in 1824, served as an important military post on the western frontier for close to 70 years. Now a National Historical Landmark, the site is open to the public year round, and volunteers reenact the lifestyle of the late 1800s during various events held throughout the year. A reconstructed log stockade, and original barracks, hospital, bakehouse and other structures still stand today.
