About Short Mountain Cove

Recreation

With over 250 miles of shoreline and 43,000 surface acres, R.S. Kerr has long been recognized for its outstanding fishing. Crappie, sand bass, catfish, and black bass in the lake reach record size. Boating and kayaking are popular activities in the area. A boat ramp is provided at the campground for easy access to the water. A variety of hiking trails wind throughout the hills and along the shoreline, offering additional activities for campers.

Natural Features

Robert S. Kerr Reservoir is located within the Cookson Hills, on the Arkansas River in Sequoyah, Le Flore, Haskell, and Muskogee counties in eastern Oklahoma, US. It is about eight miles south of the nearest major town, Sallisaw, Oklahoma. The reservoir is impounded by Robert S. Kerr Lock and Dam at river mile 336.2 (km 541.1) on the Arkansas River, just a few miles below its confluence with the Canadian River. The lock and dam are part of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System, which provides for barge navigation on the Arkansas River and some of its tributaries.

FAQ

How do I get a reservation at Short Mountain Cove?

Reservations for Short Mountain Cove are made through Recreation.gov. The current snapshot shows substantial availability: 2,624 of 2,624 tracked site-dates are open (100%), though availability can change. Campsite Sniper has also detected 74 site openings here in the last 90 days, so further dates may appear. Pick a site on the map to see its calendar, or set a free Campsite Sniper alert. You complete the reservation yourself on Recreation.gov.

Does Campsite Sniper book this facility for me?

No. Campsite Sniper sends alerts and direct Recreation.gov links. It never books, pays for, holds, hoards, or resells reservations.

How current is this availability data?

Campsite Sniper re-checks public Recreation.gov availability for this facility every hour and republishes whenever anything changes. This facility's data last changed at Nov 2, 2026 18:20 UTC; an older timestamp means nothing has changed since that time, not that checking stopped. Always confirm final availability on Recreation.gov when you book.

How often do new openings appear at Short Mountain Cove?

Campsite Sniper detected 1 site-date opening at Short Mountain Cove in the last 7 days, 27 over 30 days and 74 over the last 90.

Which day of the week had the most detected openings at Short Mountain Cove?

Wednesday accounted for the largest share of the openings Campsite Sniper detected in the last 90 days: 27 of 74 (36.5%). Days reflect when Campsite Sniper first detected each opening, not when the change occurred upstream.

Can I get a multi-night stay at Short Mountain Cove?

40 three-night openings are showing, counting only runs where the SAME site is free for all three nights. The soonest starts Mar 1, 2027 at site 01. Confirm and book on Recreation.gov.

Which month has the most availability at Short Mountain Cove?

March 2027, with 1,271 open site-dates in the current snapshot of 1,271.

How far ahead of a stay do openings appear at Short Mountain Cove?

Half of the openings Campsite Sniper detected appeared at least 5 days before the stay date; the middle 50% landed 2-10.8 days out. Campsite Sniper can monitor future changes for dates you select.

When is the next open date at Short Mountain Cove?

Campsite Sniper cannot answer that from the current snapshot. The availability data held for Short Mountain Cove begins Mar 1, 2027 — about 119 days after this snapshot was taken, so any earlier dates are outside what Campsite Sniper is tracking here rather than known to be unavailable. Check Recreation.gov for dates before Mar 1, 2027.
