Ask about this camp →Dave's been here. A spot from Dave's own travels on public land — free to camp. Conditions still change, so confirm access, stay limits and fire rules before you go.
A secluded, grassy, clearing with a small fire ring at the end of a long and winding two-track, located a short drive from Hochatown, Oklahoma. Surrounded by woods. Not on Broken Bow Lake, but the lake is only a quarter mile walk down the hill. Good swimming. Nature is abundant here. Take precautions to avoid being eaten. Fun overland route worthy of further exploration. Room for a few vehicles. Expect minimal tourist traffic. Recommended. Poor cell service.

How it was placed
FIELD VERIFIED by Dave Lalande -- he has stood on this site. Coordinates are his own GPX track point, not a geocode. County and state confirmed against the FCC Census Block API (McCurtain County, OK). Everything under 'From the field' is a direct observation; nothing here is inferred from a land record.
Field check
Verified on the ground. Dave has stood on this one. Conditions still change — confirm before you commit.
What we don’t know
A land record can put you within a few metres of a spot. It cannot tell you any of this — so check it yourself, and treat anything below as the open question it is.
- How many rigs actually fit
- Seasonal & winter access
- Current fire restrictions
- Whether any water here is drinkable
- Shade & wind exposure
- Noise and who else shows up
