Robbers Cave State
Park, Oklahoma
Robbers Cave Fall
Festival
October 2010!!! Arts,
crafts, good food,
and a great car
show, this is one of
our favorite annual
events!
Robbers Cave is located near
Wilburton, tucked
into the San Bois
Mountains in
Southeastern part of Oklahoma.
This park is named
Robbers Cave due to
its outlaw past with
the likes of the
James Gang, Belle
Starr, and other
famous outlaws who
came to the area.
A
trip to Robbers Cave
will not be complete
without climbing the
rocks up to the cave
that bears the parks
name - Robbers Cave.
The trails in the
cave area are not
very strenuous, and
the views of the
mountains from the
top are well worth
the effort.
Robbers cave is a
horse riders
paradise with lots
of horse trails to
explore, and an
equestrian camp area
devoted to them. We
found the hayrides
offered in the park
to be awesome, they
take you up to
Buzzards Roost which
can only be seen by
riding the hayride
to the top.
Activities for the
kids are everywhere,
so meet at the
Nature Center and
get a list of the
activities and the
time they are
offered. We really
enjoyed the
Hillbilly fishing;
the kids make and
fish with a cane
fishing pole. We
also enjoyed the
personal tours of
the cave area.
RV
camping is very nice
with several choice
spots, we like "Old
Circle Campground"
sites #41, and #31 although
most any site is
nice. Tent areas are
offered in several
areas, Robbers Cave
also has Cabins, and
the Belle Starr Lodge.
Note: we have had a
hard time with cell
phone service at
this park, but they
do have a pay phone.
Some RV sites may be
reserved by calling
the park office.
Our favorite
activity in the park
is the cave area
hiking. Plan on
spending an entire
day in and around
the rocks, this area
is also a favorite
area for rappelling.
New to Robbers Cave
State Park is
D bar T Stables,
Oklahoma State Parks
newest Horse Riding
stable. They will
help compliment the
vast equestrian
trails available at
Robbers Cave State
Park.
Close by and well
worth the drive is
the
Talimena Scenic
Drive. Fall is
one of the best
times to visit and
Maps are
available.
