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, I’m 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??

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!

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.

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 men’s 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. It’s for a good reason to cut down on waste, and I get that. Let’s just up the timer to 60 seconds at least lol.
