Bull Creek Peninsula - Skiatook Lake

Army Corps of Engineers manages this smaller campground on Skiatook Lake, where campers access sites by boat, vehicle, or on foot. Each site includes a picnic table and grill, with restrooms within walking distance of all camping spots. The first site sits directly on the water and offers more space between neighbors than other locations. Campers can collect firewood from the surrounding area and hike through woods to reach bluffs across the road, though jumping from these formations violates park rules. For additional options, see camping near Prue. The campground allows pets and provides trash service throughout the area.

Smaller campground

I prefer to stay here when I go to Skiatook lake because it is a smaller campground. There are bathrooms that are a pretty short walk from all the campsites. You can hike thru the woods, across the road and down to an area that has bluffs you can jump from, although this is frowned upon 😅. There’s plenty of wood you can collect for a fire. Each site has a picnic table and grill. I think the best site is the first one as you pull in. It is a little bit further apart than the rest and right on the water.
