Virgil Point Campground is a large, grassy campground in a forested expanse of southeast Oklahoma. The camp is perched along the banks of Hugo Lake, providing guests with plenty of recreational opportunities.
Hugo offers activities for many differetn types of recreation.
There are always fish to be caught in the Kiamichi River and in Hugo Lake. The northern half of Hugo Lake is flooded timber, which offers exceptional fishing opportunities. From early sand bass and slab crappie to late season fall bass, anglers will always find opportunities. The catfishing is excellent during the summer.
Hunters are welcome to enjoy over 25,000 acres of land managed by either the Army Corps of Engineers or Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. Bow hunting is permitted in and around most the park areas. Kiamichi Park features an archery practive range, a shooting range, and a 3,000-acre Quality Deer Management Area.
Recreational boaters enjoy the wide open lower lake, with it's open water, beautiful limestone rock walls, and sandy banks.
Nature abounds at Hugo Lake. Wildlife around the lake includes land and waterfowl, whitetail deer, mink, fox and beaver.
Virgil Point Campground features 51 spacious, modern campsites. A boat ramp is available to enhance visitor's enjoyment of the lake.

The dam, completed in 1974, provides flood control, water supply and fish and wildlife management for nearby communities. It also provides a recreational oasis for outdoor enthusiasts of all types.

Stayed a week at B section has grass pads. Liked section C and D best because paved pads and good views. Restroom near front gate was clean. Campsite was large. Sign for turn into park was broke off. Grass was tall but mowers came couple days later.
We liked the site we chose. Great lake view and shade trees. But, only 30 amp service. Grass was very tall when we arrived, and of course the mowers and weed eaters show up the next morning. We were breaking down and the mowers were zooming around us making it really dusty. I had to wave them down to ask if they would mow away from us for 30 minutes so I can get things put away without making a mistake. BTW...there were only 2 other RV's in the entire park and tons of vacant common space and they decided to mow my site and the other site with a nice new class A motorhome. Oh! We gave 3 of the workers cold bottle water when they were using the weed eaters. It was extremely hot.
Virgil Point Campground is nicely laid out. The sites are large with table, barbecue. And fire ring. Most have lake views. Loop B sites have plenty of shade. C Loop sites are open sites.The boat ramp area has plenty of parking spaces. The restroom/shower facility is very clean. Electric and water available. Dump station is located on the way out of the Campground. The only concern is the vault toilet in the B section needs to be emptied. (Splash back. Not sanitary). I will be visiting Virgil Point Campground again.
