About Clayton

Clayton was established in 1907 at about the same time Oklahoma became the 46th state of the United States. Clayton remains a small and proud rural community, surrounded by the Kiamichi Mountains and a vast network of rivers and lakes. Just beyond the cattle pastures flows a panoramic fisherman's paradise, while the sun shines brilliantly everywhere in between. Whether you're visiting Clayton for a scenic motorcycle ride, or a family RV excursion, stop in and say hello. The wonders of Clayton, Oklahoma await you.
