We rented from Gypsy Canoe (see my review). Until we get more experience, we'll continue to rent from Gypsy. The Kayak Park has a few rapids for exposure. You can actually roll if you don't maneuver in the Dwight section if it. The good news is the water is fairly calm so there's no scary current to drag and keep you under. I went my my 9 year old and next time we are bringing the dog!

It was a stunning fall day, the air was crisp and the parking lot was totally packed. What a…read moregorgeous day to explore Robbers Cave. We brought a picnic and the fur babies and made a day of it! The only tiny complaint was the QR codes were scratched out so there was no way for people to pay for parking. A sign update is definitely needed but this was during the government shutdown so I'm sure that wasn't available. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked, trails were in excellent shape, trash cans were pretty full due to all the people but not overflowing. If you can make it on a week day it would be a lot easier to find parking. This is an Oklahoma must do!

I checked in for the annual fall festival that always falls during fall break in October. It's a…read morefabulous festival with car show, tons of food options, and great vendors to shop. They have a carnival and inflatables for kids too. But this state park itself is one of my favorites. I've been going since I was a child, and the lake is so beautiful. I love to rent a paddleboat! They have yurts to rent, putt putt golf, and a snow cone/coffee stand that has become better and better over the years. The lookout kitchen is finally open after that whole debacle with the state, but I need to go back and try it. The building is beautiful though and right in the water. We've camped here in our RV too, and the spots are spacious, quiet, and very woodsy. It's always fun to hike up to the cave too. The history of this area is so cool. The trails are great, and there are options for ability levels. I always go green or yellow. You can often find people rappelling too! Definitely give this state park a try.

There's a restroom with a shower close by. Our view through the trees was of a large grassy area for disk golf. You can walk to the rock cliffs overlooking Lake Tenkiller. Our space #59 was a pull through. There are several others on this row. This area of Oklahoma is really beautiful with lots of trees and rolling hills. Our hosts were so accommodating and nice. They helped us change sites, find the dump site and even brought us free firewood! We will be back!

It is a great place to cool off and hang out during the week. They also offer free events year round like educational talks, art classes, fishing days, etc. They have glow fishing and archery along with free canoes and kayaks on the lake out back. They have a big play room for littler kids and lots of tanks of animals to see in multiple rooms. Everything is free to see and do. They have a nice gift shop and a big porch with rocking chairs. Outside they have nature trails, docks, play areas, and sitting areas. A fantastic place to see in Arkansas for both kids and adults!

The food trucks were really good (formerly Dobbers) and Mama Tig's pizza and Meeting House food and lattes great! Kids played basketball and tennis and loved the tubing etc boating at Marina. Lake is very high so no "beaches" to stop at but nice when lake is low. Very similar to Rosemary Beach feel. Did not hear construction at our house by the entrance pool.

This location had one of the coolest advertisements we've seen -- putt putt golf, a kids…read moreplayground, a heated splash pad, a bounce pad, a full kitchen/restaurant, and even access to another nearby park. Unfortunately, almost none of it was actually available or functioning. The putt putt course was completely ripped to shreds. The greens were torn up and there were ants all over the course. The "playground" was basically three old coin-operated riding machines like you'd see outside a grocery store -- rusty and clearly unsafe. Calling that a playground for kids is ridiculous and honestly feels like an accident waiting to happen. The heated splash pad? Doesn't exist here. The bounce pad was broken down and clearly not working. The full kitchen/restaurant wasn't open at all. The front office was locked up most of the day. They're also still advertising access to another nearby park, but we were told that promotion is outdated and no longer valid. Yet the ads are still out there bringing people in. Don't rush to push spring break marketing when you literally have nothing working. Yes, we got a refund, which we appreciate -- but that's about the only positive thing to say. It's a shame because we've loved other Yogi Bear Jellystone parks, but the owners of this one clearly don't care about maintaining it. Avoid this place.

We spent all day playing and having fun outside and didn't realize the infestation until we came in to sleep. I'm talking up the walls in the bedroom, numerous amounts in the beds/on the pillows. Had to drive three hours back to Dallas with a crying child in the back that was devastated the camping trip was cut short. Management won't return my call, but they did refund our stay. I'm disappointed they won't have an actual conversation with me. My biggest concern now is bringing it into my home. I'm taking all precautions possible but still freaking out stay away! ETA: I called the Xtreme RV resort and spoke to the "CFO" and he said the housekeeper went over to the cabin and didn't see any bedbugs. Basically said they reimbursed us what else do we want them to do. I want to know what they plan to do if my house/car gets infested and he said we could contact his lawyer at that time. I'll put videos in the comments if the bugs. One more update! Someone tried to cancel their reservation for next weekend, concerned about bedbugs after my Facebook post and they refused as the person had "no proof" shady company for sure!

The climbing wasn't necessary, just part of some of our fun. From the parking lot area, we went up the hill towards the trees, away from the lake, and the trails they had there were well marked, but not particularly wide walking paths like Turkey Mountains'. If you are in the mood to feel like you are exploring nature "off the beaten path" while still being on a trail, this is a great place to do it! I will be going again!
