You're a bit at the mercy of whoever is there. A lot of people were there for the day backed up to a covered spot and blaring music. There was a depressing amount of trash around. The castles are neat and after doing some web searching we found some history about them (not offered by the park itself which is odd). Some areas feel pretty unsafe. The store just sells towels, $2 water shoes for $20 and life vests. No swimming allowed today (it's still winter and because of flooding) but a lot of people were in various areas of the river. The bathrooms were spread around the upper areas and I think mostly for campers and cabin folks. No one is policing anything though. The ports potties were rank.

Great Family Getaway - Clean, Scenic, and Convenient Visited…read moreChickasaw National Recreation Area over the weekend with my wife and two boys, and we were very happy with the experience. The park was impressively clean, especially considering it was hit by an F3 tornado just last year. It's close enough to town to easily grab any essentials, but still offers a peaceful escape with plenty of wildlife and natural beauty to enjoy. A solid mix of convenience and nature--perfect for a family outing. Shout Out to the cold springs campground attendants. Super nice and professional. The Rangers seemed like they were a bit too aggressive, but overall a nice experience.

However, we were VERY disappointed in two things: 1) The cabins are old and unkept. We had a hole in the wall near the front door and daylight showing under the front door. The entire cabin was filled with ants. They were on the floor, walls, and ceiling. Every hour I was running around squashing ants. We had to hang everything on hooks/hangers or leave it in the car. Water leaked from underneath the tile in front of the shower. The staff said the State has the money to renovate, but they keep delaying it. So sad to lose customers because they won't spend the money to update it. 2) The pet fee is $40 per day per pet. We had 2 dogs totaling 22 pounds. There was NO extra work on behalf of the staff after we left. Most place charge a deposit that is refundable if there is no damage. They should review their pet policy and consider reducing or eliminating the fee and instead having a refundable deposit. With $80/night for the dogs and $110+ for the cabin, we could have stayed in a nice VRBO home with a fenced backyard and without bugs.

Apparently, the powers that be have figured out that they can make more money off day users by charging $10 / day for a parking permit. Our pass was included with our cabin. Our cabin had many creature comforts. Air conditioning, cold but too loud to sleep with (cycling on and off every few minutes), cable tv, full size fridge, cooktop and microwave. Choice of 1 big bed or 2 little ones. Nice bathroom, too. Towels and bedding are provided and daily cleaning is offered, but we declined and lived in our own squalor, lol. Due to the corona bug, the pots, plates, utensils, etc. were no longer provided. Not sure why these things couldn't have been left with a suggestion that we wash them before using them. Fortunately, we have a camp box with those items, ready to travel. Outside, we had a picnic table, a bbq grill and a fire ring. The grill was about what you expect at a public p k-9ark, with wide gaps and it was really nasty, so I grilled our burgers on a sheet of aluminum foil. Yum! We also brought firewood with us, but there are places nearby where you can buy some. I also brought a smudge pot with citronella scented oil in case the mosquitoes were a problem, but there were only a few of those pests. There are plenty of places to explore in the park and the beautiful lake to enjoy. Break out of your seclusion and reep the benefits of this safe spot to recharge your batteries.

Skip the pontoon rental…read more Nothing they advertise about their pontoons is correct. The website lists incorrect prices (8 hours in a pontoon is $480, NOT $309 as listed). When you follow the links to reserve, FareHarbor not only states that Lake Murray Marina has "The Newest Luxury Fleet on Lake Murray!", it also explicitly states that the pontoons have bluetooth stereos (they don't), bimini tops (they don't), tables (ours didn't), and swim ladders (again, ours didn't). The boat we were first assigned had a broken table and broken captain's chair. I asked for a different boat with a functional captain's chair and was informed that the only other options didn't have ladders. We opted for no ladder, but found out that the replacement boat also didn't have a table. Whatever. The rental process was fairly simple, though I didn't love my full credit card number and details being handwritten and stored behind the desk. Too bad Lake Murray Marina is the only option to rent pontoon boats. Unfortunately, it's just not worth it.

Location wise it can get a little confusing. There are several campgrounds spread throughout. I stayed at the campground The Point. It was was small but relatively well-organized, and far away from everything to be peaceful and close enough that we weren't far away from exploring the local town as well. The point also let's you have pets stay. We took our two dogs who seemed to thoughtless enjoyed being out with us. Each plot on The Point is reservable Online, or self-serve pay station. I would say to reserve, as the weekend on a non-holiday it was completely full. There are plots that have water and electric hook-ups. The plot we were on had none, but was the cheapest at $16 a night. Each plot also comes with its own personal parking spot. Our's had a fire. Pit and a bench with an extension. At the Point there are a few non-plumbed facilities as well as one facility with plumbing and showers. Each bathroom of the plumber facilities has its own shower, plus a section of just a single shower with no bathroom. There are plenty of spots to go. Fishing areas are at each of the campgrounds. In addition, there are boat drop off areas, and places to swim in the lake. Unfortunately, no pets are not allowed in the lake or east of Travertine area which is in the northeastern section of the park.

This summer we decided to rent a boat instead. BIG MISTAKE!! I owner (an older woman) was argumentative and rude as she was telling us the rules and regulations of the boat. She asked my husband (who has owned a boat for 20+ years) to sign statements ensuring the boat was in proper working order, when my husband asked if he could first SEE the boat before signing the papers she responded with, "if you give me attitude you will not get the boat!" Because we had three young sons eagerly awaiting the boat ride we brushed her comments off and continued with the paperwork. She used abusive language and her attitude began to get worse. She told us to follow her to look at the boat. I grabbed the boat checklist and asked if I should take it with me or if there was one on the boat....she then bit my head off telling me my attitude was unacceptable. She did this as we were paying HER $500 to rent a boat. My husband and I finally had enough. We told her we did not like her attitude and we did not want to rent a boat from her. She cussed us and told us to leave. Upon leaving we called our credit card company and asked if she took the $500 charge off the account. When we found out she didn't, my husband called her. She cussed him calling him a D*CK, and telling him that she was tired of dealing with his stupid a&&. In 30+ years I have never dealt with a business owner with this hideous attitude. Upon checking there are bad reviews all over every internet site about this business. Please don't rent from, buy anything or trade with these people. They are giving the wonderful town of Sulphur a bad name!
