      Ponca City, Oklahoma

      Overview

      Osage Cove is a large campground situated along the banks of Kaw Lake in north central Oklahoma. Most of the campsites here are shaded and some of the area's best hiking and fishing is available on the grounds.

      Recreation

      Osage Cove provides ideal conditions for anglers, offering excellent bank fishing as well as a designated fishing dock and boat ramp area below the dam in the Arkansas River. The lake and river are known for producing some of Oklahoma's largest catfish, as well as crappie, white bass and walleye, making it a popular destination for anglers. Hikers and horseback riders are attracted to the beautiful trails along the eastern shore. The Eagle View Hiking Trail is approximately 12 miles long and runs between Osage Cove and Burbank Landing. The Five Fingers Equestrian Trail extends from Burbank Landing to the Sarge Creek Cove Public Use Area. Hunters' skills are tested with excellent populations of whitetail deer, turkey, quail, rabbit and squirrel. During the fall waterfowl seasons Kaw Lake often attracts large numbers of migrating ducks and geese. During the winter visitors are likely to spot migrating bald eagles, as Kaw Lake has one of the biggest populations in the state.

      Natural Features

      The lake covers 17,000 surface acres and has 168 miles of shoreline. Completed in 1976, the dam and lake help provide a recreational oasis for outdoor enthusiasts of all types.

      Contact Info

      For facility specific information, please call (580) 762-9408.

      Nearby Attractions

      The area holds a number of historical sites, including several Native American settlements, archeological sites and the Pioneer Woman Museum.

      Bicycle/Camping Overnight

      Nice grassy area with nice showers and restrooms. Medium size pond with a small pavillon and large grill. Dock needs maintenance. Some long term residents. Rough gravel roads two miles into and out of property, but only about 2 miles south of Hwy 400

      New Find

      Happened across this place from a Facebook posting by the owners and decided to check it out. Not yet gone but will be this summer. Seen it is a new place that is Veteran Owned so I wanted to help bring business by establishing them on this platform. So for those that see this, please help spread the word. Thank you.

      Easy Peasy

      Simple but nice park with decent amenities. Water (in March), Electricity and city WiFi. Playground, disc golf, shelters, basket ball court. Self pay box at $15.00. No picnic tables or individual fire pits but sweet for an overnight.

      Good for an overnight stay

      This is a small, older campground. It is clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful. We probably are a little late in the season, not real busy (early November). Hookups all work, no problems. Sites are gravel and maybe a little rutted, some more gravel would help level things up. I don’t know exactly how KOA differentiates between Holidays and Journeys but this seems more like other Journeys we’ve stayed at.

      Walnut River RV Park is a city park next to the river with a few shade trees. Complete with boat ramp and terribly stinky bathroom. No electric outlets. No showers.

      Beautiful little campsite overlooking the water

      New restrooms/showers and electric RV sites with shared water for $25. Park RV on asphalt facing campsite. Tent camping area is $15 has picnic tables but no electricity or water and restrooms/showers are on other side of campground. Signs everywhere saying “No tent camping in this area.” But if you pay online for RV site, you can use tent or RV but not both (per Ranger Joe).

      Mature campsite for RVs and Tents

      Electric, water, restrooms and coin-operated showers. Located on the highway so there is highway noise but plenty of shade trees. Small convenience snack store next door. Needs some repairs and newer picnic tables but better than many places.

      Great stay

      Super nice view and platform. Panicked when the couple with two kids parked behind me. Oh, the yelling. I guess the tension was too much because thankfully they left and never came back. 😂 Other than that terrifying sh** show, I had an absolutely beautiful night. The weather was perfect, and that view was 🔥.

      I didn’t use the showers or bathrooms.

      Great Stop Over

      Also known As: Camp The Range

      Just outside of Wichita, near WSU is this tucked away tree lined RV park. There are a lot of monthly campers (remote workers, nurses, etc), but mostly all have very nice setups!! Very clean park.

      We stayed overnight on our way to Colorado. It’s a bit pricey, but there are pull through sites, full hookups, clean bathrooms with showers - which we utilized so we didn’t have to empty our tanks, laundry, and a full kitchen.

      The bathrooms were clean with adequate pressure and warmth.

      The game room/kitchen had plenty of books and entertainment. The actual kitchen area was great to have so again, we didn’t have to use our tanks to wash dishes.

      Didn’t do laundry but looked like plenty of machines.

      The back end of the park has a big stretch for dogs to run around and exercise. They provide bags and bins in two locations.

      There’s also a playground, we just didn’t venture down that way.

      Wi-Fi works great. Able to update some apps and stream on our Roku bar.

      Only complaint is how on top of each other the trailers are, but that being said, it worked out great for our needs!

      I love this place. There are even locals that camp out here and are fun and friendly. Sometimes they will even start playing music and encourage to even jump in or just sit and listen.

      Clean but tightly packed

      The small park is located in a commercial area but has fairly close access to downtown Wichita. It does have a small dog park and playground set an is good enough for a overnight visit.

      Pretty place, but pricey

      It was $32 to stay the night, and the showers were coin-op. The view over the lake was gorgeous when we woke up, but we were sandwiched between the lake and the main entry road.

      Friday Night in Oxford KS

      This is a small community park with a limited number of campsites with water and electric (both 30 and 50 amps). There are spacious grass sites. The sites are not numbered and you pay (now $15) in front of the restrooms. Although surrounded by a neighborhood it is a very quiet and relaxing spot. Perfect for a 1 nighter on the way.

      Quiet and historical

      We stopped here for the night because it was in the right location, but were surprised by how nice it was.  The campground itself isn't anything special (it had full hookups like we wanted), but the history of the hotel and accompanying landing strip was fascinating, and the path to the ponds at sunset was beautiful.

      Pulled in around 11pm, had to use the late check-in process. Well organized and easy with individual maps for each site number. Highly recommend!
