In the agency’s own words
Rattan Landing is small, peaceful campground on the bank of the Kiamichi River. The campground is just north of where the Kiamichi River opens up into the Hugo Lake Resevior located in southeast Oklahoma. Thirteen campsites are nestled into this quiet getaway location; and each site offers a view and a short walk to the river bank. With a boatramp in the park, this is a fishermans' all-in-one place to come relax. Keep reading
Recreation
Hugo offers activities for many different 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 of the park areas. Kiamichi Park features an archery practice range, and a 3,000-acre Quality Deer Management Area. Recreational boaters enjoy the wide open lower lake,with its open water, beautiful limestone rock walls, and sandy banks. Nature abounds at Hugo Lake. Wildlife around the lake includes waterfowl, bobwhite quail, dove, whitetail deer, mink, fox and beaver. There are miles of road to view from, as well as trails to get off the beaten path.
Facilities
Rattan Landing features 13 modern campsites, a boatramp on site, and direct river access at almost every site.
Natural Features
Rattan Landing is around a 40 acre property that offers woodland wilds, clear fields, and river access. The Kiamichi River is known for good fishing and variable scenery. The river flows into Hugo Lake Reservior, and 18 river miles past the dam it meets up with the Red River. 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.

What you actually pay
Derived by CAMPANAC: the agency’s published rate for this season, $20 a night, plus one $8 recreation.gov reservation fee for the booking. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night, booked once. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
“A $10.00 service fee will apply if you change or cancel your reservation.” · this campground’s own terms
Who keeps the booking fee
The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.

The price is derived by CAMPANAC, not published per site: the per-night rate this campground publishes for each site’s own site type. 13 of the 13 sites listed carry one, and a site whose type has no published rate sits out of the price rather than being called free.
Measured shade is NLCD Tree Canopy Cover 2024 (USDA Forest Service / MRLC) read at the site’s own coordinate, 27% canopy or more, and only for the sites the agency gave no Shade value. It never changes the agency’s own shaded count beside it.

OpenStreetMap has no toilet mapped within 1 km of this campground, so no site here carries a toilet distance. That’s a gap in the map, not a finding about the campground.
