Kingston Vacation Rentals

What you'll love about Kingston

The sheer scale of Lake Texoma—Oklahoma's second-largest lake with 580 miles of shoreline means endless boating, water skiing, and exploration on one of the region's most spectacular bodies of water.

Kingston has no pretense—just local marinas, great fishing guides, waterfront sunsets, and the friendly pace of a community built around lake life at its most authentic.

Local tips

• Hire a local guide for striper fishing — they know the seasonal patterns and the best holes on the lake.
• Striper fishing peaks spring through early summer and again in fall; summer evenings are also productive.
• Marinas fill on holiday weekends — launch early and reserve slips in advance for summer visits.
• West Bay Casino and Resort has comfortable lakeside accommodations and is well-positioned for fishing trips.
• Fort Washita Historic Site is 35 miles north and one of Oklahoma's most underrated historical attractions.
• Cross Timbers Hiking Trail is about 45 minutes west and worth the drive for a challenging ridge hike.
• The lake spans Oklahoma and Texas; no separate license is needed for either state while fishing Texoma.
• Chickasaw Pointe Golf Club tee times go fast on weekends — book at least a few days ahead.
• Dallas/Fort Worth is about 80 miles south on US-70 — Kingston is an easy lake escape from the Metroplex.
• Fall is spectacular — migrating pelicans, comfortable temperatures, and excellent fishing with fewer crowds.

Lake Texoma striper fishing — the world-class kind

Kingston sits at the heart of Lake Texoma's Oklahoma shore and Lake Texoma is the Striper Capital of the World. Chickasaw Pointe Golf Club's lakeside fairways, Fort Washita's frontier military history, the Cross Timbers Trail's rugged ridge hiking, and the warm hospitality of Chickasaw Country round out a destination that punches well above its modest size.
