The Yogi’s attended a geocaching event at eastern Oklahoma’s Lake Eufaula State Park this past weekend.
From their website: “Lake Eufaula State Park is surrounded on three sides by the largest manmade lake in Oklahoma, Lake Eufaula. Visitors can enjoy RV and tent camping, an 18-hole golf course with putting green and pro shop, indoor and outdoor fishing dock, picnic areas, group facilities, swimming beaches, playgrounds, kid’s fishing pond, hiking trails, nature trails, nature center, watersports, naturalist activities, and naturalist programs. They also offer special events at Halloween, Christmas, and Labor Day.”
They have a full range of campgrounds from full RV tie-ins to nice spots to pitch a tent. The campsites are spread out so the campers are not on top of each other. We even had a nice view of the lake.
We took full advantage of the park’s many trails.
They have at least one fully accessible paved trail, the Crazy Snake Trail, with handicapped parking nearby.
I guess, just to make it fun, there are feral hogs out and about according to this sign.
And of course, if its Oklahoma and the weather is warm, count on ticks.
The Park had a “Haunted Stables” and “Trail of Terror” set up where for a small fee you could get yourself spooked. That was a lot of fun.
That prepped us for the best part of camping is the campfire at night, right?
Hot dogs and Smores, right? And a high tech twist to an ancient tradition. Sweetie reading scary stories that she found on the internet on her Blackberry.
We had a great time at the park for our event. I’ll be posting about the event later this week.
Please check out “That’s My World Tuesday” for views and commentary from all over.
The weather was perfect for camping this weekend.
What a fun, beautiful place! And it does sound as though all of you had a wonderful time! Love the pic of SPB! Thanks for sharing the fun! Enjoy your week!

What a nice way to spend the weekend! The ticks would bother me more than the hogs I think. I picked a tick up earlier this summer and ended up having to take antibiotics after the bite got infected. Not fun!
What fun! I see you are sleeping on cots and not on the ground…Hope the ticks didn’t get you! SPB looks ready for the smores.
What fun! Super photos as always.
Lovely pictures of a good camp. My guess is that you enjoyed building that fire more than anything else!
Geocaching sounds like wonderful fun!
Looks like the perfect place to camp with kids. Very pretty spot. I like to go camping at least once every season. Well, except winter. Which will soon be upon us. sigh.

Nice place to picnic, great pictures.
Beautiful place to relax. Very scenic.
Looks like a very cool adventure.
Yogi: I would love to be there and fishing that neat lake in your part of the world.
What a great camping trip. Nothing like a campfire to ward off those ticks…
What a fun weekend! I would have gone on a hog hunt – haha!
I like the camp fire picture…it brings back a lot of childhood memories 🙂

P.S. Did you notice the Fire Man in the flames?
Love the trees shadow and the bond fire! You are right, gotta take advantage of these great outdoors right… at your door.
The campfire is definitely the best part.
Beautiful park, Yogi! 🙂
