Highway 9 Campground

Introduction / Overview: Your Tranquil Gateway to Lake Eufaula

For Oklahoma residents seeking a peaceful, family-friendly getaway on the water, the Highway 9 Campground—officially known as Highway 9 Landing Campground—is a premier choice. Nestled on the scenic shores of Lake Eufaula, the largest lake located entirely within the state of Oklahoma, this Army Corps of Engineers-operated facility offers a classic, amenity-rich camping experience. It’s an ideal spot for those who value lakeside recreation, convenience, and a relaxed atmosphere.

Despite its name suggesting proximity to a major thoroughfare, guests consistently find this campground to be surprisingly serene. As one camper noted, "This is absolutely one of the quietest campgrounds I've ever stayed at. Especially considering it's right off of a highway. Traffic seem to not be very much after 10:00 or 11:00 at night." This balance of accessibility and tranquility is one of the campground's main appeals.

Highway 9 Landing is known for its well-maintained grounds and direct access to Lake Eufaula’s abundant recreational opportunities. With approximately 80 campsites, the park caters to both RV enthusiasts and tent campers, providing a beautiful backdrop for fishing, boating, and swimming. It is a genuine Oklahoma treasure where the natural beauty of the green hills meets the vast expanse of the lake.

Location and Accessibility: Right Off the Highway, On the Lake

Highway 9 Campground is situated on the northeastern side of Lake Eufaula, near the small community of Longtown, Oklahoma. Its location right off State Highway 9 makes it incredibly easy to find and access, especially for campers towing large trailers or RVs.

Official Address (Longtown Area):

(The facility is often described as being East 8 miles on Highway 9 from the town of Eufaula, following signs to the landing.)

The campground is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), ensuring well-managed facilities. Its direct adjacency to Lake Eufaula means that several sites offer stunning lake views, and the boat ramp is just steps away. While the park is easily reached, the evening hours bring the quiet that makes for a restful night under the stars.

• Regional Proximity: Located conveniently off State Highway 9, linking it quickly to the town of Eufaula and major regional highways.
• Large Vehicle Access: The roads within the park are generally paved and manageable, accommodating larger RVs, though some interior roads and sites may be tricky for the largest fifth-wheel campers due to tree trimming considerations.

The true stars of Highway 9 Campground are the recreational features provided by its location on Lake Eufaula—a body of water celebrated throughout Oklahoma for its size and quality fishing.

• Sandy Swimming Beach: The campground features a beautiful, naturally sandy beach area designated for swimming.

• Well-Maintained Grounds: Campers appreciate that the "grounds cut and clean," reflecting the COE’s commitment to a tidy and pleasant environment, even in the middle of the off-season.
