Which part of the lake are you going to be on?

Not for sure I have never fished it. Me and a buddy plan on coming down the middle or end of march.
Man that's tuff. I'd say stay at Eufaula Boys! LMAO! Just kidding Brian, there are tons of places to stay but you might have to bring an extension cord or 2. Lots of small towns have lots of motels. You could rent a slip just for the power. Done it.
The Falls Inn has a good reputation.

Lakeview Landing
I have looked at lakeview and also American cabins. They both have ramps close by but would I be able to put in there and find fish or would I need to travel to other ramps to find better fishing?
There is American Cabins, just off of hiway 9a and hiway 69-mid lake. They are log cabins, look good from the road. http://americancabinsok.com/
Lakeview Landing Motel caters to fishermen, has rooms that you can back your boat up to. Lakeview is near hiway 9a and hiway 9. Both of these are in the Longtown area.
In Eufaula, there is a Best Western. Been there about 5 years. If you are fishing down south, might be best to go to McAlester.
Eufaula is the largest lake in the state. My great great grandfather was actually one of the founders of that town a very long time ago. I am more familiar with the north end of the lake but that is like saying you are kind of know main street in Kansas City. There is so much more to it than that. I bet Ranger or EB gets on here and can tell you where to hit it at.
Also, let us know when you are going to be in town and maybe we can all meet up or something.

We have a cabin right by the American cabins, they do look really nice. The ramp there by the cabins can be kinda tricky to get out to the main body of water, shallow and stumps!!! We usuall drive the 10 miles or so south to crowder to put in and fish crowder, rock creek, and blocker area from the crowder ramp. I also like to fish Gaines creek area which would be closer to get to from mcalester.
The Falls Inn is a great bed and breafast. You can plug your boat in to electric. I have stayed with them a few times. They are no on the lake therefore no ramp.
American Cabins.......Ranger
I suggest gleaning information from the forum on where they are biting before I would rent a place. Spring spawn usually starts down South, Gaines Creek and slowly goes North as the spawn progresses. There's more luck to it than science, but you can get a pretty good idea where to start from the fishing reports start streaming in around the middle of March and then on. Anywhere near Crowder is a good starting point...........good luck.
Gains creek is legendary but you have to be careful with all of the cover. You do not want to hit an underwater stump. We actually have one of our Oklahoma Crappie.com Tourneys there.

American Cabins gets my vote. We stayed there two years ago for a tournament on Eufaula. The cabins are nice, quiet, has place to plug in boat (just bring extension cord) and the owners are VERY nice. Dont have a single bad thing to say about that place.
American Cabins gets my vote also. Tell her the Okie Crappie dot com boys sent you. Nice cabins, plenty of parking, and electric hook ups for the boat.

Was thinking to go down mid march, anyone now a good place to stay with a fifth wheel, preferably with a ramp close by and close to good fishing for that time of year, any help appreciated...
Several place come to mind for a 5th wheel. Juniper Point, Rock Creek, Crowder (has a few hook ups just outside of the ramp road) Arrowhead. All these are on the south end pretty much.......Ranger
Depends on whether you need sewer hookups or just a dump station.Quote:

As mentioned, a little tricky coming out of from the boat ramp -- straight out from the cove is shallow, so stay to the right till you get out to the channel markers. Most of the lake doesn't have markers -- from 9A bridge south, there are markers till you get close to Rock Creek Cove. If the lake is down, I strongly suggest staying in the channel.
For 5th wheel camping, I would suggest Area 51 in Arrowhead. They have a nice campground and a fairly new marina (no gas though). But it's cheaper to trailer your boat back to Canadian and fill up there. There's also a Dollar General store in Canadian and they have good selection of food supplies. Area 51 does not have full hookups (no sewer), but there is a dump station on the way out of the campground. There are other campgrounds in Arrowhead but Area 51 is the only one with a marina and slips to rent.
