  COE Lake Skiatook Twin Points

  Serene and Clean

  Lots of shade, spacious, clean and well equipped. We could see the water through the trees. Level paved lot with water and electric. Awesome clean showers and bathrooms

  COE Lake Skiatook Twin Points

  Clean, well maintained campground

  Twin Points campground is a very well maintained campground. The paved campsites accommodate big rigs as well as our campervan. Didn't see many sites that can accommodate tents. The restroom/shower house was very clean & equipped with tp. The host was nice & patrolled the campground often. Camped in site #9 among oak trees. Partial view of the lake behind the site. No campsite to the right. Good separation between sites. I would stay here again.

  COE Lake Skiatook Twin Points

  Massive Lake

  Site #5 was level with plenty of shade. Wide picnic/patio area was clean. There was quite a drop off on 2 sides of this nicely spaced wide site. You could see the glimmer of water through the trees but really just a wooded view. The sun would shine directly on site around noon but mornings and evenings were pleasant. Bathhouse was updated and clean with individual shower stall in each of the 4 areas. Unfortunately there was little water pressure at the bathouse and just disappointing warm water in shower. (UPDATE- WIFE said she had plenty of hot water and she never she's that.) All sites share water but this particular one was too far away for nearest site to share. FYI, Water at site really high pressure, have regulator ready. Gate attendant was polite and actually on post nearly all the time. The lake itself is massive. Had no idea just how big until we saw from a distance. Wish we had a boat to take advantage. We had plenty of areas for walking the dogs. Overall we enjoyed this COE more than others mainly because of the upkeep.

  Skiatook(15 min) has a multitude of places to eat. Fast food to actual sit down restaurants are everywhere. I recommend Mac's BBQ.

  Okemah Lake

  Not very pleasant.

  Stayed the night prior to a bass tournament. I was surprised to see weeds overgrown in the camp areas, the shoreline is covered in tall weeds. The fire rings were trashed and grill mostly unusable. Loud trucks and cars made it very noisy. Evidently there isn’t a speed limit or anyone out there enforcing any laws. I will return to fish but it’s not worth camping at. Cell service is very unreliable.

  Gentry Creek Landing

  On Top of the HIll

  Our campsite, #33, was perched on top of a hill, accessible by a fairly long, steep incline.  The site is not level and would be appropriate only for shorter RVs.  The site's position made it one of the more isolated campsites so it was more private than others.  Site #33 does not have its own water source.  It shares one water spigot with 2 other sites.

  Eufaula Lake was muddy and not very appealing. The camp grounds were well-maintained and the camp host was friendly.

  Okemah Lake

  Abandoned

  This once cool camping lake looks unattractive and not taking care of of. Weeds in campgrounds, fire pits full of trash and grills all broken. There is no longer any personnel or workers living in the area. You are basically on your own with no Patrols or Law Enforcement. Loud people kept us up all night and we left early. Go elsewhere. Not family friendly anymore.

  Bell Cow Lake Campground C

  Peaceful springtime camp spot

  Very pleasantly surprised by this campground. Has everything you need for pretty cheap ($11 for tent/no hookup) including bathrooms, tables, trash, water and more. Only one other car on a weeknight in April, so very quiet and peaceful. Bathrooms were kind of gross but I expect that’s due to visiting in a shoulder season.

  Lake Carl Blackwell

  Poorly Planned

  Campsites are very close together. There is no picnic table and the fire grate things were all bent and not usable.

  Trails poorly marked

  It is beautiful out here but if more people had been out camping I hate to think how loud and crowded it would have been.

  Three Ponds Community

  Peaceful. Serene. Secluded.

  This has been a great experience. Especially for a solo trip. Offer A frame structure. There is currently no running water due to colder temperatures. But once it warms water is on site. The land is beautiful and firewood is provided for a small fee. The Outdoor show is a nice touch too. Will definitely be back.

  Oak Glen RV & Mobile Home Park

  Clean, Quiet and cost friendly

  We were here for a 3-day stop to visit friends. It has been around for some time right off Route 66. The staff were friendly, and we were given our choice of where to camp. Our spot was a pull-through, not completely level, but that wasn't a problem for us. The campground was clean and very comfortable. The only downside is the red dirt that is easy to track into your camper, Its Oklahoma.

  Keystone State Park Campground

  Fun in the Sun

  Came to Keystone State Park for a camping weekend and I am pleased with the Park and facilities. We got there a little late, around 10 pm and it was l little hard to find out site because the numbers were hard to find for the campsites. Thankfully some nice people showed us where our site was. After getting to our site I was a little shocked at how close all the sites are to each other. We did however have the nicest of camp neighbors so that was no issue for us. It was Labor Day weekend so the site was fully booked. The bathrooms were the nicest, cleanest bathrooms from a campsite I have ever seen so that was definitely a plus! We came to swim and I am so happy that it was very easy to get to the water from the campsite. There were also grills closer to the water that we took advantage of while watching the beautiful sunset. The electric boxes were closed to where you put your tent so we only had to use one of the extension cords we brought. Our site was missing the fire ring but there were rocks in it's place. Overall we had a fantastic time at this campsite and would definitely come back!

  Appalachia Bay

  Nasty bathrooms, beautiful views, dirty sites

  This campground has a lot of potential. The sites are large and have beautiful views although they’re not very private. However, the site I was in (11) was covered with trash and cigarette butts. The bathrooms were a pretty good walk away and we’re your classic disgusting pit toilets. That being said, it was relatively quiet except for the occasional atv across the water, and the views are beautiful.

  Bluff Landing

  Quiet, fishable, secluded

  Peaceful area outside of Tulsa metro on the outskirts of Broken Arrow near Coweta. 25min drive into Tulsa. 10min drive to Walmart and fast food. Checkout Smokies BBQ nearby for great food. Sites were pretty level using gravel. A few were completely shaded but most were barely shaded. Shoreline really close to campsites with boatdock and fishable shoreline. Restrooms were clean but very hot. Showers available but did not use. Fire ring, picnic tables and lantern hooks available. Dump station is clean and easily manageable. Grass needed to mowed especially since several snakes were seen. Whole area was pretty clean and peaceful.

  Heyburn Park

  Beautiful, near lake, but unleveled, water too far

  The site #22 is beautiful. Right near the water, quiet. But, the park didn't have a map so we weren't sure where the site was. Also, once we found the site, finding a semi-balance space was atrocious. Took us an hour of back and forth. Finally, the water was too far- 75 ft - really?! We didn't have water pipe that long so had to fill the tank, then come back to the site.

  My Stay

  Good… Mostly Shaded sites , bathrooms, general store, site grills…

  Bad.. Only allows up to 14 days in tents ..with a 7 day off period in between.. No Swimming allowed.., a main road runs through the park so you do get the road noise.. Bring own firewood or buy from Attendents

  Cash only accepted..

  Not to bad of a campsite. Bathrooms are atrocious. It’s very crowded. Your right next to everyone but it’s kinda expected I guess. Very large park

  Dripping Springs Campground

  Got there the Friday before Memorial Day Weekend but didn't go out there until Saturday before and I was too late for the campsites among the trees. I was in the overflow camping, nice spots but no trees taller than 6 feet, It wasn't a deal breaker because the temp never got above 75 degrees. The people that watched the place were pleasant, the park was clean and the showers and restrooms were clean but showed their age, just like me. One very small bar on my Verizon iPhone 12 but I managed to Facetime when I wanted. The campground commander had ice but that was about all. It was 11 to 14 miles to the grocery store on 5th Street or the Walmart a bit further south on US 75. It is a first come, first serve kinda place. If you call and there is a place, you have to put something on the pad or it is still up for rental. I enjoyed myself and another trip there isn't out of the question.

  Tall Chief Cove

  Nice weekend stay

  Pulled into the campground on a rainy Friday night for the minimum 2 night stay. It worked out for what we needed at the time. Didn't care for the slope of our site, but there were only a couple available when we booked it.
