The Best Camping Near Disney, Oklahoma

I tried camping here, but I think they had already shut down for the season. The bathhouse was locked, the grass hadn’t been mowed, and there was a bit of trash blowing about. Thankfully this is just down the road from Cherokee State Park, which was still open. I walked around the campground and noticed there were about 18 or so sites, with some back in the trees a bit, away from the road. Most sites had obvious campfire rings, some had additional campfire rings not put in by the park, some had grills, but not all, and a few had a picnic table. All in all, it almost seemed like this campground had been abandoned. When I stopped in at the state information center in Siloam Springs the attendant (Betty Ross, no less!), she said that a lot of the smaller campgrounds along the big lakes are like that out of season. Anyway, across the street from Disney is Grand Lake, with a decent boat ramp that was in use even in late October. The parking lot is small, but you can just drive over the grass to your campsite. The big draw here besides the lake is the creek bed that the spillway feeds. This is apparently a hot spot for ATV/ORV driving. There were two groups of ATV/ORV’s hanging out in the ravine: one looked like a tour, and the other looked like a group of like minded friends out for a fun day.

Roadside camping, maybe

It took us an extra hour to find this campground once we got up there.. towing a jeep behind you looking for a campground with next to no service was very frustrating to start off.. lack of signage.. If it’s your first time up there, print out directions because your phone might not work.
Once we finally found our campground and site, there was a family of six or seven already unpacked and in our spot cooking, THAT WE ALREADY PAID FOR! it was after 4 o’clock and there was no one at the office, it was closed.  (On a Friday) We had to resolve this issue ourselves. The reason they were in our site was because somebody took their site. Extremely unorganized, extremely frustrating, after hours of driving there and getting lost, now we have to deal with this. With our two little frustrated kids in the backseat... Our site was number 8 right in the middle, as far down to the waterfall as you can get. 
All night long, even after curfew, people were running and yelling on their way down to the water right by our site.. and there was a huge powerline light right over our campsite.. It did not feel like camping at all, more of a party atmosphere. not a place I would bring my two kids again. We maybe got five minutes of sleep thanks to the obvious drug users that were in the site next to us.. (they were kicked out the next morning)  The next morning we wanted to go see the crystal clear water that is described on their site, which was very true, but the amount of trash that is down there is absolutely disgusting. Dirty diapers, cans of beer left behind, condoms, so much trash it was so disappointing. I couldn’t even take a nice picture without trash being in it. People have absolutely ruined this campground. Also it was a hell of a time trying to find a spot by the water with all of the people (the clear creek side)  
After a few hours of off-roading, we came back to our campsite, that has turned into a parking lot. People have absolutely no courtesy! It’s our damn site! Someone even dumped out their trash from their car IN OUR SITE while we were gone. People that do not stay at that campground still come in and park at the end so they can go in the water.. which is exactly where our campsite was. We were so frustrated we ended up packing up and leaving. Even though we paid for two nights, we couldn’t take it anymore. Within moments of us taking our tent down, more cars swooped into our site to park there, all while we were still trying to pack up everything with our 2 little kids and dog. 
This has potential to be a beautiful area, but the people, the trash, and the disorganization absolutely ruined it for us. we will not be back. 

Horrible experience 

Yes people need to PICK UP THEIR TRASH!   WE WERE TAUGHT THAT IN KINDERGARTEN?  

Otherwise it's beautiful. I don't stay at the waterfall. That's for kids. I go upstream it's deeper, I'm scouting it for future diving trips. 

I'll update as soon as I get in the water with my gear. But I'll def need a 7mm probly with a  Shorty on top since I don't have a dry suit. But this water is CLEAR. amd that's what's impressive. Find clear water in oklahoma isnt easy especially if your a diver. 

The trash thing is real, that's why I always take extra trash bags and do good. 

Maybe if your going, you can too;)

It's beautiful 

The campground itself has everything we could ask for with showers and bathrooms and a great spot on the water. However, our site, No. 6, is right on the road and people drive ATVs up and down the road at all hours of the night. Like, for real, ALL HOURS. They were doing it at 3am. We would love this campground if it were anywhere else away from this road.

Great campground, lousy location

I haven't stopped yet where the marker actually is. I'm in the campground which is down the road off the main road from it and a delightful little hollow. There's not much here. It's a primitive campground. Pick me tables first, and that's about it. And you reserve it on the same website that you would for any other state park. It's a cute place. The campsites are right on top of one another. There's a little water next to it. Kind of surrounding it so it's very nice but even now in december when i'm here I can hear the four wheelers pretty much everywhere around it.

There is more than one spot to little blue

I found it really confusing to try to find a camp spot here. And I think it's because there are 2 state parks, each with campgrounds. Almost touching one another, and the bigger state park. Grand Lake state park has at least 4 campgrounds in several day. Use spaces. This GPS spot that I'm leaving your review for is not little blue. That's down below the dam. And that review is right below this review for me. So hopefully that'll help you piece them apart. This one is very close to the road and has a handful of electric spots and tent spots. But very, very close to the road.
