Our Story

A Quiet Stop on the Edge of the Arkansas River

Christian Backwood RV Park & Bait Tackle General Store sits just outside Smithville, Oklahoma, in the rolling hills of the Cherokee Nation. What started as a place to park an RV and stock up on fishing gear has grown into a trusted pit stop for travelers, anglers, and anyone who needs a break from the highway.

We're not a chain. We're a family-run stop where you'll get honest advice about the best spots on the river, a clean place to sleep, and a greeting that actually means something. Pull in tired — pull out ready for whatever's next.
