Lake Murray State Park Group Camp 2 Introduce

Introduction / Overview

For Oklahoma organizations, large family reunions, or groups seeking a dedicated, spacious, and tranquil base for their next outdoor gathering, Lake Murray State Park Group Camp 2 provides the ideal solution. Located within Oklahoma's oldest and largest state park—the beautiful Lake Murray State Park near Ardmore—Group Camp 2 offers a valuable alternative to individual campsites, granting your group a semi-exclusive area to relax and connect. While many visitors flock to the lodge or the main campgrounds, this specific group camp location is situated to provide a more secluded and focused experience, perfect for organizational retreats or youth camps.

The environment surrounding Group Camp 2 is naturally stunning, characteristic of the Lake Murray area with its mature oak trees, rolling terrain, and the proximity to the sparkling, clear waters of the lake. As one customer review noted, the location offers a "beautiful and tranquil moment in nature," perfect for enjoying the "serene surroundings." The focus here is on communal outdoor living, offering the necessary infrastructure for groups to manage meals, activities, and lodging efficiently, all while being immersed in the natural beauty of Southern Oklahoma. Choosing Group Camp 2 means selecting privacy and space without sacrificing access to the premier recreational offerings of the entire state park.

Location and Accessibility

Lake Murray State Park Group Camp 2 is located near the eastern side of the park, accessible via Field Trail Rd in Ardmore. This area of the park is often considered more secluded and less trafficked than the main lodge or western campgrounds (like Elephant Rock or Tipps Point), which enhances the privacy essential for a dedicated group event.

The primary location identifier is:

Field Trail Rd, Ardmore, OK 73401, USA

To reach the campground, visitors typically take Exit 24 or Exit 29 off Interstate 35 (I-35) near Ardmore and follow the signs for Lake Murray State Park and the scenic Highway 77S. Field Trail Road is a local park road, designed to facilitate movement within the park grounds. Accessibility is crucial for groups, and the camp's location within the state park ensures easy navigation for multiple vehicles, including large buses or RVs, all while remaining close enough to the main park roads to allow quick access to major attractions like the Lake Murray Marina, the Golf Course, or the famous Tucker Tower Nature Center. The secluded positioning on Field Trail Rd helps groups maintain their tranquility while still being firmly within the expansive outdoor playground of Lake Murray.

Services Offered

As a designated group camp area within a large Oklahoma State Park, Group Camp 2 is structured to handle the logistical needs of sizable gatherings, offering reliable infrastructure beyond the standard individual campsite. Specific detailed reservation rules and fee structures should always be confirmed directly with the Lake Murray Park Office, as group rates and usage rules apply.

    We discovered a beautiful and tranquil moment in nature while exploring. We found a lovely lake that was particularly calm in April, perhaps due to the cold, windy, and rainy weather. It seemed like the perfect place to spend a peaceful day, enjoying the serene surroundings with no one else around.
