Weekend trips are the best trips 🫶

When: Mid-Summer

Where: Lake Texoma

Lodging: Lighthouse Resort & Marina

Affordability: Very! Cabins price at roughly $100 a night. Some more, some less.

🌞This was by far the easiest weekend trip we could have done and worth it! Lake Texoma is absolutely beautiful and lighthouse marina is managed wonderfully. The cabins are fully equipped with a kitchen, shower, and amazing AC. The park is well kept and clean! Activities include paddle boarding (of course😜), kayak rentals, fishing, swimming, fishing charter, sunset boat tours, boat rentals, and more!
