Foss State Park,
Oklahoma
Reserve a campsite
at Foss State Park
Located
just north of
historic Route 66
and the famous
Route 66 Museum
in
Clinton Oklahoma, this park was
memorable for the
taxidermy white
albino deer inside
the park office, and
the neat herd of
buffalo located
close by. Foss State
Park is located on
beautiful
Foss Lake, and
is a welcome retreat
from western
Oklahoma summer
heat.
Foss
has a nice
equestrian trail
called
Warrior
Trail and a horse
camp located in the
park; the only draw
back for the
enjoyment is there
are no stables to
rent horses so
everyone can ride.
Warrior trail is
also used for
mountain bikes
and hiking and is 19
miles spread out
along the southern
side of the lake.
Foss
Lake has a nice
little marina, and
all water sports are
allowed. Jet skis
and pontoon boats
can be rented from
Marina Del Rey which
also has Portside
Cafe floating
restaurant. We saw
plenty of people
havin' fun out on
the water and
fishing is reported
to be good on the
lake with most game
fish available.
RV
sites are very
scenic, we
especially liked the
Cedar Point area,
and most all of the
south side of the
lake is close to the
action with good
views. Southside
Campground has 10
sites with full
hookups and
has several shaded
sites large enough
to hold the biggest
of RVs. The North
side of Foss Lake
has camping, and you
can actually rent
the entire NorthSide
campground for a Rv
rally or family
get-together; it has
15 RV sites.
Note: The NorthSide
Campground closes
from November to
May.
The area around the
park is
Red Carpet Country.
