Yes you can use minnows, but only one rod at a time. You may have additional rods in your boat. EB

The family and I are planning a weekend of it. Can anyone recommend a camping area near by?

scanoob - really depends on what you want (need.) As far as camping, it's primitive. You can primitive camp there but the last couple of times I've been there nobody has been doing so in this heat. I believe the two closest COE sites would be Hwy 31 and then Elm Point. I have never camped at either or these but believe there is electricity at one of them. There might be some commercial camping near McAlester/Krebs. There are some nice campgrounds on the lake but that would isolate your family on Saturday.

Yeah electric is a must for this family.
Isolating the family might not be a bad idea either. Lol

You might check out Robber's Cave state park in Wilburton, also. Super nice and clean, and it's about the same distance from there to Hickory point as McAlester would be. Robber's cave has plenty of activities for the family too; pool, canoes, paddle boats, mini golf, etc...
Elm Point would probably be the closest campground for you, though (With Power). Not much left of the Hwy 31 campground area.

robber's cave/carlton lake would be a great place for the family to enjoy while you fish the tournament and very easy to get from there to hickory point via highway or county roads as adamson road goes from krebs to about 2 miles south of carlton lake on highway 2.
