Dam Site Campground offers a unique and rugged outdoor experience situated directly below the Fort Gibson Dam on the west bank of the Grand River. This location is perfect for those who enjoy a back-to-basics approach, as the site offers primitive camping with no electric or water hookups available.

Following flood recovery efforts, the campground remains open for both day use and primitive tent or RV camping. Visitors can take advantage of the excellent fishing opportunities, particularly for black bass and white bass, or enjoy swimming and boating on the nearby lake.
