Campgrounds and RV parks near Cleora, OK

Cleora is a small unincorporated community in Delaware County, Oklahoma, sitting on the eastern shore of Grand Lake o' the Cherokees, a lake situated in northeast Oklahoma in the foothills of the Ozark Mountain Range, administered by the Grand River Dam Authority. The lake has a surface area of about 41,779 acres of water and roughly 1,366 miles of shoreline, and unlike other lakes in Oklahoma it is a deep and mostly rocky lake, which makes the area a popular base for boating, fishing, and RV camping. RV renters have a mix of public and private options within a short drive of Cleora. Bernice State Park sits on the northwestern corner of Grand Lake o' the Cherokees and offers state-run sites, while Grand Country Lakeside RV Park, Pelican Landing Resort and Campground, and Monkey Island RV Resort and Cabins are private parks oriented toward lake access. Firehouse Escape Lodge & RV Station provides a smaller inland option. Most campgrounds in the area cater to families and lake users, with proximity to boat ramps, swimming areas, and small lakeside towns such as Grove, Afton, and Langley for groceries and supplies.

Bernice State Park is part of the Oklahoma State Parks system. Individual camping reservations are accepted up to eleven months in advance, all sites must be reserved prior to occupancy, and no sites within the parks system are available on a first-come basis. All reservations are made online via travelok.com/state-parks. The minimum reservation is two nights on weekends and three nights on holiday periods, so plan accordingly for summer holiday weekends. Private parks near Cleora, including Grand Country Lakeside RV Park, Pelican Landing Resort and Campground, Monkey Island RV Resort and Cabins, and Firehouse Escape Lodge & RV Station, are booked directly through each park's website or by phone. Policies on minimum stays, cancellations, and pet rules vary by property. When booking an RV rental for this area, confirm the rig length limit for the specific loop or site, since older lakeside loops often have shorter pads and tight turns.
