Summer may be winding down, but there is still plenty of time for one more getaway. The Texoma area offers a little bit of everything from outdoor adventures and local history to shopping, dining and live entertainment. Best of all, you can enjoy it without packing every minute of your trip.
At RiverView RV & Recreational Park, you can spend your days exploring and return each evening to a peaceful place along the Red River. Whether you are planning a weekend trip, an extended stay or one last family adventure before fall, RiverView makes a comfortable home base for experiencing southeastern Oklahoma and North Texas.
Ease Into the Morning at RiverView
There is no need to rush when you wake up at RiverView. Pour a cup of coffee, enjoy the shade of our mature trees and watch for deer, birds and other wildlife that frequently visit the park.
Take a walk around our spacious, landscaped grounds, admire the wood carvings throughout the property or make your way toward the Red River to enjoy the view from the bank. It is a quiet way to begin the day before the summer temperatures climb and your Texoma adventures begin.
Spend the Day Exploring Lake Texoma
No visit to the area would be complete without spending some time around Lake Texoma. The lake offers opportunities for boating, fishing, swimming, wildlife watching and simply enjoying the scenery.
Several marinas and recreation areas surround the lake, making it easy to rent a boat, arrange a fishing trip or find a spot for a picnic. Because Lake Texoma stretches across the Oklahoma Texas border, guests should check current fishing-license requirements and other regulations before heading out on the water.
Even if you are not planning a full day at the lake, a scenic drive through the surrounding communities is a relaxing way to see more of the Texoma area.
Discover Local History and Wildlife
For a change of pace, explore some of the history and natural beauty found on both sides of the Red River.
Fort Washita Historic Site offers a glimpse into the history of Indian Territory and the people who lived and served in the region during the 1800s. In Durant, the Three Valley Museum shares the history of Bryan County through exhibits, photographs and local artifacts.
Across the river in Denison, Texas, visitors can tour the Eisenhower Birthplace State Historic Site, the home where Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th president of the United States, was born in 1890.
Nature lovers can also visit Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge, located just west of Denison along Lake Texoma. Guests can enjoy wildlife watching, photography, scenic driving and several hiking trails while looking for the many birds and animals that call the refuge home.
These attractions make enjoyable additions to a Texoma trip, especially when you want a slower-paced day of sightseeing.
Shop, Dine and Find Entertainment in Durant and Denison
Nearby Durant and Denison offer plenty of options when you are ready for shopping, dining or indoor entertainment. Explore locally owned businesses, browse the shops in downtown Denison or enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants found on either side of the Red River.
Choctaw Casino & Resort in Durant is also a popular entertainment destination, offering concerts, restaurants, bowling, movies, arcade games and casino gaming. You can enjoy an afternoon or evening out and then leave the activity behind as you return to the peaceful surroundings of RiverView.
Make Time to Do Absolutely Nothing
A good getaway does not have to include a packed itinerary. Some of the best vacation moments happen when you slow down.
Spend an afternoon relaxing beneath the trees, let the kids enjoy the playground or gather with family and friends for an easy meal. Our spacious RV sites give you room to settle in comfortably, while our furnished cabins provide another option for guests who want to enjoy RiverView without bringing an RV.
RiverView also offers convenient amenities including clean, climate-controlled restrooms and showers, Wi-Fi, laundry facilities, a park store, on-site propane and gated entry to help make your stay comfortable and worry-free.
Explore by Day and Relax at RiverView
One of the best things about staying at RiverView is having access to so many different experiences. You can fish at Lake Texoma, learn about local history, shop and dine in Durant, enjoy an evening of entertainment or simply spend the entire day relaxing at the park.
However you choose to enjoy your late-summer getaway, RiverView gives you a peaceful place to begin and end each day.
