Camping at Dam Site (Fort Gibson Lake)

Public campground · Fort Gibson · 24 campsites

A forested campground near fishing. Most campsites have no hookups.

About this campground

Dam Site Campground sits immediately below Fort Gibson Dam on the west bank of the Grand (Neosho) River, roughly five miles northwest of the town and historic military post that give the lake its name. The campground was severely damaged by recent flooding and now operates as a seasonal, primitive site: none of the campsites have water or electric hookups, there are no full-service facilities on site, and camping is free for overnight stays while the area remains open for day use.
