A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Potato Hills South sits right on the shoreline of Sardis Lake in southeastern Oklahoma, where the reservoir's 14,360 acres and 117 miles of shoreline open up a long list of water-based options. The campground is set in the foothills at the western tip of the Ouachita Mountains, so views move from wooded ridges down to broad stretches of water fed by Jackfork Creek.
Length limits vary by campsite.

“Same as it ever was. I like the campground. Few folks, good wildlife, peace and quiet. Just enough amenities to be a cut above dispersed camping on BLM land. ”
“Beautiful campgrounds for relaxing and fishing.”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (905 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
