I stayed at site 3! Very nice area and the scenery was amazing!! The restrooms were decently clean for a park and campground! Although it was very rocky and going up and down hill was hard.
Dog-friendliness: Very friendly puppos

Used to live in the area and the park was run down. I took a visit recently though and it's been fixed up, cleaned up, and prettied up. It's a good place to go and a tiny hidden gem of our history. Pretty good now.

We happened upon this on a road trip. We weren't prepared for the climb back up the stairs, so just be ready. Do not forget to check out the scenic overlook up the hill from the stone.

Saw this from our local News 9 from OKC and had to visit! The lady in the gift shop was very knowledgeable and friendly! Great gifts there too! After you see the Runestone, make sure you go to the end of the park to see a nice view of Heavener!

My wife and i were traveling on a rainy Sunday morning from Ft.Smith to Texarkana. Along the way we saw a sign for Heavener Runestone Park. We had previously visited Sweden and Norway and explored dozens of runestone sites. But here! In Oklahoma! We had to check it out. The park is a short drive off the highway. The park was empty probably from the pouring rain. We had raingear and headed for the well maintaines paved trail to the runestone. The trail is moderately steep and caution should be used for those with mobility or low vision problems when the trail is wet and has low light. The trail wanders through oak, maples and hickories and on this day the forest was heavily laden with the scent of musty leavesthat added to the experience. The trail ends in a gazebo where the runestone is encased in glass along with information about the research conducted on the runestone. The runestone is a giant slab of sandstonethat contains 8 markings believed to have been a boundary markercreated by Vikings ibetween 600 and 800 AD.The premise is that the Vikings sailed around the southern tip of Florida to the Mississippi River where they sailed up river to where the Arkansas River meets the Mississippi.

Really neat. Vikings! The path there isn't long but there are a bunch of stairs. Still easy for my young kids to make it. Tons of history. Beautiful scenery.

I enjoy camping here with my boys. The grounds are well kept and the staff is friendly. The hikes are short and mostly tree covered.
