Planning Notes

Three major campgrounds: Buckhorn (most open, largest), Rock Creek (most shaded), and Cold Springs (smallest, most primitive-feeling). All accommodate standard trailers. Reservations strongly recommended April–October on Recreation.gov. Sulphur OK has grocery, fuel, and dining 1 mile from park boundary.
