Choctaw

We stay at Choctaw 3-4 times a year.

We were in the D section which is better suited to large modern campers. Longer sites with 50amp service. I was pleased to see several upgrades to some of the sites.

The only complaint I have is that apparently someone had used a leaf blower and piled leaves right up against our site. It was a serious fire hazard. Especially since the county was on a red flag/no burn alert. I get it that this may be the result of cost reductions. Perhaps organizing volunteers may help. I have a backpack blower and a medium sized tractor.

Choctaw campground is my favorite campground to stay at. The staff is so friendly. I have been coming here since I was a young child. So for roughly 20 years I’ve been camping here. I now bring my kids here and let them do things I used to do as a kid. Choctaw will always hold a special place in my heart.
Also, the campground is so clean and the spots are the perfect side and easy to get into.

Restrooms were atrocious, toilets plugged, feces all over floors both in area b and across from boat ramp parking. Overly restrictive burn ban. Did not allow any out side fire except to cook and required it to be extinguished immediately when completed. To many roads gated, preventing easy movement around campground.

Site D-9 is absolutely lovely, long and pretty level, it was not difficult to back in, although we did have to encroach on the site across from it to get into the site (thankfully no giant boulders or bollards in the way). We arrived in the dark - filling our tanks with water at the very clean dump station was no problem. Dumping on our way out was fine - plenty of room to get in and out, but with only one dump for so many sites I bet there are long wait lines in the summer months. Trash bins are between the entrance and the dump station - maybe 100 yards apart. Finding our site in the dark was very difficult as the COE map is quite vague and satellite maps can’t help because of the fantastic tree cover in the park. Leaves were covering the site numbers painted on the road, and many sites have two spots (one for a camper, one for a boat?) but we figured it out. This site has a great view of the lake and neighboring swim beach, and had a nice mix of sun (not enough for solar) and shade (but open sky just behind the site - perfect if you use Starlink). Our AT&T cell service worked great. Lots of opportunities for walking. We never saw a ranger (November is off peak season) but the campground was quiet and other campers were pleasant. All sites were very tidy. Fuel, firewood, and convenience items are available 4 mi away, and groceries, restaurants, services in Clinton to the north or Greenbrier to the south. We definitely plan to camp here again.
