First camp at Grand Lake

The Tuesday after memorial Day I decided I wanted to go to Eastern Oklahoma most of the state parks were still booked up, but I found a spot at Grand Lake below the dam. The pull through side along the river was level and offered a beautiful side of the river and the spillway with full hookups. The park was empty except for the camp host and one other camper. We found the location to be great with plenty of wildlife, including muskrats, turkey and deer close by. We were literally 200 yards from an 18-hole golf course.

Decent campsite

Stayed here 2 nights while going over to the off-road area just south of the dam. Liked the proximity to the off-road area...made getting there very easy. Only dislike was the quiet hours don't seem to be enforced as both nights there was noise pretty late into the night/morning. The river does not flow through there very rapidly so if you are expecting some water noise to sleep to, it won't happen here. Several nice trees for hammock camping if that is your choice. Reserved 12, 13 & 14 together for 6 campers and gave ample room for everyone to spread out and not have neighbors too close.
