greenleaf state park

This was our second stay at Greenleaf and was as enjoyable as the first. My spouse is a Veteran and we took advantage of the discount offered by State of OK. We walked, bird watched, and cooked outside. We again stayed in a cabin built by the WPA. Small, but efficient and snug. We discovered more about the history of the park, including the overlook of the Arkansas River and the beautiful lodge. Yes, you have to look, but isn't that part of the fun of discovering something new at a place you had been before?Off season, no crowds, and nature everywhere made for a great get away.

I camped at the Cypress Row campground which has beautiful lake views. There were not many other campers in this campground the weekend that I was there. The site that I stayed in was fairly level and easy to back into. This campground has shared water, so make sure you bring an extra long water hose and a two-way splitter if you plan on using the water hook-up. The water hydrant I used leaked when it was turned on, so I went out and turned it off when I wasn't using the water. There are 2 other campgrounds that have water at each site, but they are not as close to the water as the cites at Cypress Row. The bath house was very clean. It has 2 toilets and 1 sink. There are 4 showers. Showers are 75 cents. I didn't use the showers, but they also looked very clean and roomy. I camped in my pop-up camper and also went kayaking. There are lots of easy places to put a kayak in if you don't want to use the concrete boat ramp. I didn't get to explore too much of the park due to cool and windy weather, but will definitely be back in spring. The park ranger patrolled the campground often and was very friendly. The camping fee at cypress row is $20.00 per night. I don't think there is a day use fee for the park.

Greenleaf state park- quiet and secluded park. The mini golf was fun, but we would have had to pay for club rentals but we brought our putters with us. There was a charge for pool usage, even though we stayed at the park. The pontoon boat ride was fun.

My in-laws planned this trip, reserved a cabin and asked about the occupancy limits. Even called back twice and asked about it, to which she was told that the cabin we reserved was built for 4 but that it didn't matter. Day 2 of the trip, we have to call maintenance to fix a leak. He came and took a look, but he also had a look at "all" of our food. The guy then goes back and tells management that there "are beds everywhere" and that we have too much food. The assistant manager then comes down and starts accusing my in-laws of lying and saying that we have "too many totes". Apparently they have a limit on how much food you can bring even though they provide cabinet space and a refrigerator. On top of this, we couldn't use the swimming area because it was closed "to address the algae issue" but they never had the algae tested. This forces you to either swim in the pool, which you have to pay for, or go find another location to swim. Thank you Strayhorn. Not to mention that each cabin has their own little folder laying out the activities in the park, which shows the pool prices to be $2.00 for the pool for cabin and camping guest, but we were charged the $3.00 price.It's a beautiful campground, but I feel that they could have been more up front with their rules and expectations. Aside from the management and staff issues, we enjoyed this State Park.

We bought a Groupon for a cabin and we are happy we did! Ours had a wonderful view of the water. The cabin was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. The only bad thing was we had absolutely no cell phone reception, but really that was probably a good thing! We would definitely go back.

First time at Greenleaf and will not be the last. Stayed in a WPA-built stone cabin with nice amenities. We enjoyed the quiet and the wildlife.

I read so many positive reviews that we drove for hours to camp in this park. Once we arrived, I was greatly disappointed. The paved trail and some of the amenities are at the top of a hill with some campsites that not only didn't have a concrete pad, they didn't even have gravel. We then drove down the hill because what we wanted was to camp with a view of the lake. Those sites were no better and so close together that it didn't even make us want to consider it. There may be some great scenery and the lawns were cut but the campsites have had no updates in many many years and it was a huge disappointment for us. We moved on without even staying.

Trail hard to follow most times.From trailhead to swinging bridge, not bad. Both the north and south loop from there on are hard to follow. I'm used to hiking in Colorado where the trail is maintained and clear to follow (maybe from higher use?). Started out on south trail (near the lake). It's okay (some hidden trail spots, but not too bad) until around mile 4. From then on, good luck, because you are basically traveling marker-to-marker. Granted I did go 28 June (like the middle of the summer), but still, hard to follow due to overgrowth. Got to mile 6.5, where it crossed over the road and took that instead to the primitive campsite. I had to double back aways to find it, but it was there, just barely. The primitive campsite looked like it had not been used in a few months, no fire circles or clear campsites, but plenty of flat land to make due. Ended up stopping around 1800 to pitch the tent. After an hour of sweat sleeping, I woke up and decided to just rough it out and do some night time hiking out. Took the north trail aways, up to the white trail crossover. For a majority of the time it was again, marker to marker hiking, but some spots were opened up a bit. Got to the white trail crossover about dusk, which in June is 2030, and decided to cut over to the road again, for sake of actually seeing my way out. I did not take the north trail up and back to swinging bridge, just the road, by the dam.If you go, bring plenty of bug spray and wear pants with high, tight socks and shoes. Ticks are everywhere - lonestar type, so hopefully no lyme disease carrying variety. At night, spiders are everywhere, so watch out for that if night-hiking or early morning hiking. If the trail were maintained better, or I had a machete with me, it would have been better.

I used to go here when I was little. They've done a lot of remodeling and renovation in the last 10-15 years, and it's turned out really nice. A great place to spend time with the family or get away with a loved one.

this is a hidden gem in the oklahoma state park system. i camp here often. the staff are amazing and friendly and helpful. the park rangers are awesome. the showers and bathrooms are always clean. the grounds are beautiful anytime of the year.

We visited for a two night trip, stayed in the cabins and hiked around. Great trip overall. Cabins were a great value, clean and had everything we needed. The mini kitchen was handy, we brought food and cooked our meals. Pots/pans, dishes, and utensils were all provided. Park features beautiful views, nature center, playground, putt putt golf, hiking trails, swimming pool, and marina. We will definitely be back.

Greenleaf has always been a 'hidden gem' among the Oklahoma State Parks. It hasn't been 'improved' or 'updated', at least not to the extreme that some of the parks in Oklahoma have, so it has retained the original charm and natural appearance that has attracted folks to visit there for over half a century. The lake and surrounding area is some of the most scenic in Oklahoma. Once you visit, you'll be sure to come back again and again.

We stayed two nights in one of the cabins and had a lovely time. Great service by the staff and a lovely spot to rest and relax. Excellent value for the price. Cabin was clean and well stocked and the air conditioning was a welcomed relief in the 95+ degree temperatures.

Stayed a few nights in one of their rental cabins. Really nice, not to costly.

About a 30min drive from Muskogee or Webber Falls OK, Greenleaf is a very clean State park. Not real big, but offers many amenities that many parks don't offer. Beautiful drive from the Hwy to the welcome center. Small Childrens pond, swimming pool, mini golf and hiking trails, all up on the top half. Marina, fishing dock, heated dock, multi-purpose building and nature center, all down below. This is a family oriented park with something for everybody. The multi-purpose building offers a full kitchen, great for reunions and company picnics. A full service Marina, complete with store, slips and rentals. Take Hwy 10 south off of US 62 or north from Gore, the entrance is between Greenleaf creek and No 10 landing.
