Anglers and swimmers find direct water access at this Army Corps of Engineers campground on Waurika Lake. The facility features two camping loops with different characteristics - one closer to the boat ramp with higher traffic, and another near the entrance that attracts more RV campers. Sites include electrical hookups, water spigots, picnic tables with shade covers, and fire grills, with both back-in and pull-through configurations available.
Campers can pull boats directly up to waterfront sites for easy lake access. The campground maintains 14-day stay limits and operates seasonally. Sites spread roughly 100 feet apart provide privacy, and a camp host lives on-site. Those seeking additional options can explore campsites around Hastings. The facility includes flush restrooms and a playground for children.
