Texoma Shores Resort
Stay and play in one of the Southwest’s most popular vacation destinations
With a surface area of 74,686 acres and 580 miles of shoreline, this whale of a lake stretches for miles and spans two states, Oklahoma and Texas. Natu- ral minerals in the lakebed provide just the right conditions for striped bass to spawn, earning the region the title of Striper Capital of the World. Converted from a former fishing camp, Texoma Shores occupies one of the best spots for reeling in strip- ers and their largemouth, spotted and white brethren, as well as crappie and catfish. To take advantage of the lake’s piscatory bounty, the resort offers both a boat ramp and a fishing pier, and new boat slips are being built. Besides fishing, the region’s six mil- lion annual visitors take part in all sorts of watersports, from speedboating to sailing, waterskiing, windsurfing, skim- ming across the water on personal wa- tercraft and plain old swimming.
On the grounds at Texoma Shores Resort, RVers can spread out at the shaded campsites with full hookups. The 16-unit motel has been remodeled into seven comfortable rental suites, and four cottages offer lake views, with another four on the way. Last winter the resort opened the doors to a new clubhouse where pot- lucks, family games and poker nights are always on the schedule and the 55- inch TV often draws a crowd. A lodge, vending machines and washrooms with hot showers round out the facilities, and a new laundry room is under con- struction. Outdoors, you’ll find picnic areas, a pavilion, playgrounds, and bas- ketball and volleyball courts. Texoma Shores is one of eight Ocean Canyon Properties that have undergone recent renovations to ramp up the camping experience for home members and members of Coast to Coast.
