Cartwright, Oklahoma

On the banks of Lake Texoma

Cartwright is one of the newest communities in Bryan County on Hwy 75a near the Denison Dam. It is named for the US Congressman Wilburn Cartwright. Cartwright was established in 1939 when a community of workmen shelters was erected for the construction of the Denison Dam.

  .

Lake Texoma is a large popular lake with an excellent fishery and many access points. Boating, swimming, skiing, hunting, bird watching, and relaxing on the sandy beaches are some of the activities enjoyed by most visitors at Cartwright. Although Cartwright has 1411 residents, the influx of visitors to the camping areas and the lake increase the town size considerably.

In addition to the Lake Texoma Recreation Area, Cartwright has some of the best campgrounds anywhere in Oklahoma.
Burns Run East and Burns Run West Campgrounds are open for reservations from April 1 through October 31. They have boat launching ramps, RV hookups, designated campsites, sanitary dump, picnic area, restrooms, group shelter, swimming beach, and showers. For further information, see the Ranger Station contact information below.
