One of Oklahoma’s lesser-known state parks, McGee Creek is a hidden gem perfect for a pristine wilderness getaway. It’s located in southern Oklahoma and boasts over 2,500 acres of beautiful nature perfect for exploring or relaxing. The park has overnight accommodations, too, so you can enjoy a serene overnight staycation with affordable options.
Most people overlook McGee Creek State Park in Atoka, Oklahoma. It's not as big as some of the other state parks in the state -- but that doesn't mean it's not as beautiful.
The park has eight lake huts available for overnight rentals -- and they are the cutest cabins ever! The inside of these dwellings is a bit rustic, so don't expect too much glam. There are bunk beds and you'll need to bring your own bedding.
The park sits on the southwest edge of the Ouachita Mountain Range, so you'll be hiking through some of the prettiest land in the area. It's the perfect, family-friendly getaway for a little peace and quiet.
