Overview

Washington Cove Campground is located on the banks of Copan Lake in Oklahoma's Green Country. Camping, boating, picnicking, hunting, and fishing are popular activities.

Recreation

Copan Lake offers its visitors extensive opportunities for a memorable outdoor recreation experience. The lake is home to many species of game fish, including largemouth bass, white crappie, channel and flathead catfish, and various species of sunfish. Hikers and horseback riders enjoy exploring the area on 3 miles of trails that wind through the woods and open meadows of the lakeshore. 11,000 acres of land around the lake have been set aside for wildlife management. These lands are open for public hunting of deer, waterfowl, bobwhite quail, turkey, cottontail rabbit and squirrel.

Facilities

This large campground contains 101 sites with electric hookups. One day-use group picnic shelter is also available. Amenities include flush and pit toilets, showers, drinking water, a dump station, boat ramp and playground.

Natural Features

The 4,850-acre lake sits on the Little Caney River among a prairie landscape of grasslands and croplands. The campground is encircled by a wooded area and shade is available throughout the park.

The description, directions and fees are the Army Corps of Engineers’s own words, from its record on Recreation.gov.
