1 campground with availability this weekend
Rustic and modern cabin rentals are available at multiple locations near Burbank, Oklahoma. Osage Hills State Park Campground offers eight rustic cabins built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. Most cabin accommodations feature electric hookups, running water, and basic furnishings, with some providing full kitchens or kitchenettes. Three Ponds Community offers more primitive cabin options for those seeking a simpler experience. At Settle Inn RV Park, cabins provide comfortable accommodations with access to showers, toilets, and picnic tables. "Great cabins! GREAT hiking trails!" noted one visitor about the Osage Hills cabins.
Reservations are essential for cabin stays, especially during summer months when facilities like Osage Hills' swimming pool are operational. Cabin policies vary by location, with some properties like Stoney Ridge Campground and Bear Glen allowing pets in their cabin units. While most cabins remain available year-round, seasonal restrictions apply to certain amenities - water hookups at some locations are winterized after November 1st, though heated bathrooms remain operational. A review from Osage Hills mentioned that "the tent sites were separate from the RV sites by a good 1/4 mile so no worries about generators," indicating thoughtful campground layout for different accommodation types.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary considerably between locations - from rustic cabins with fire rings for outdoor cooking to more equipped units with indoor cooking amenities. Basic provisions can be purchased at on-site markets at some locations like Keystone State Park and Lake Carl Blackwell, while Cedar Crest RV Park provides convenient access to supplies. When planning for cabin stays at locations like Osage Hills State Park, campers should note that bathhouses are available but some reviewers mentioned limitations: "no hooks or little shelf for towel or shower toiletries" - useful information for planning what to pack.
"What a neat little park in Northeastern Oklahoma! What I really liked was that most of the park was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) during the Depression and New Deal eras."
"Beautiful old, but refurbished campground in Northeast Oklahoma, built by the CCC! Our last night of a 16-day trip is quietly coming to a close. We made reservations on-line (that's another story!)"
"Our goal was to visit Ree Drummond’s businesses in Pawhuska and the Settle Inn RV Park was the perfect spot for an overnight. The campground manager (owner?)"

ScoutGreat campsite about 20 minutes from campus, they had my permit set out for me. Very nice scenery. In spot 14 with a 35 foot trailer. A little work to get level. Also pretty tight backing up.
TravelerIt’s okay, but honestly wouldn’t recommend it. The park is showing its age — a lot of it feels dated, and the lake itself is pretty unappealing right now (cloudy, kind of yuck). Signage throughout the park is rough — surprising since it looks like it was put in fairly recently — and it’s not even useful: signs point you to “Frontier Park” or “Lake Park,” but there’s nothing telling you which way to your actual campsite. Once you’re in there, the site number signs are barely readable.
The kids’ playground is actually nice, but it pools water badly when it rains — poor drainage/engineering there. You can tell the park has flooded more than once, because there are picnic pads and grills sitting literally in the lake at the water’s edge. Not a great look.
On the plus side, our dog had a blast — tons of open space, barely anyone around, and she spent the whole time running.
We ended up driving past a campground at the base of the dam that looked way nicer than where we stayed — wish we’d booked there instead.
RangerCampground easy to find and access. The map at office provided was poor quality, map on web site better. Staff was helpful and courtious. Nice campgrounds, some are available for 12 months but those are in their own section. Big disappoint was no bath house, one rest room with a handicap shower. But that restroom near horse corals and smell was present. The lake was nice respite to a hot and long day. The grounds are well manicured, clean and mowed. It's a very large facility but spread out so it does not feel crowded.
GuideGreat campground especially for only $38 a night. Our site was a pull through with water and electric. Nice view of the lake. Staff was very nice. Only negative is don’t follow GPS for directions. It tries to take you down a dead end private road. Stay on Hwy 51 till you see prominent sign for the campground. It’s about 7-8 miles off I35 so very convenient.
GuideThe tent area was nice and they had individual showers and toilets. However, there was a railroad nearby and the train whistled in the night. Also, there is a busy highway and you can hear the traffic noise
RangerNestled in a forested and very hilly canyon, this state park is absolutely beautiful. A lake with canoe/kayaks for rent and complementary life jackets for use, a river, and many hiking trails. An r.v., campground, tent camping scattered throughout, two playgrounds, a seasonal pool, a tennis court with volleyball in the day use area. Toilets/showers are throughout the park. Tents/yurts and cabins for rent. You're going to love it. Word of warning, the roads are narrow with drop-offs here and there.
ScoutWe got lost on the way and went to East instead and met a friendly lady who gave my pup a treat! Pretty rough roads but my little car handled just fine. Went west and a got set up at a nice campsite. Had a picnic table and water sprout and a trail right down to the water.
RangerMy husband and I rented a little cabin for an anniversary getaway. Cabin was clean, and grounds were well kept. We called for fresh bedding, and they were happy to help. The bed was large and comfy, and pillows were soft. There is a t.v., kitchenette, and bathroom with shower. We went in January, so there were no crowds.
RangerI've been to Lake Carl Blackwell a number of times, and that place is excellently kept. Large lake ran by OSU. Eight miles west of Stillwater (and a hospital) where restaurants and provisions can be found. The lake has cabin, R.V., and tent spot rentals along with kayak and golf cart rentals at the gas station/convenient store by the lake.

"There is a pretty little lake near the entrance that you can rent canoes to take a spin around the lake," reports Annie C. from Lake Carl Blackwell, who also observed "plentiful bass, perch, crappie, and catfish."
Water recreation: Keystone State Park offers swimming areas with designated no-wake zones. According to Brian B., "The cove is pretty rocky but there is a swimming area and a couple of good areas to launch/land a kayak. The cove stays pretty calm since it's, well, a cove and due to it being a no wake zone because of the marina."
Historical structures: The Civilian Conservation Corps history attracts visitors to certain cabins. Tom K. explains about Osage Hills State Park Campground: "Osage Hills is historic for Oklahoma as it was developed by a CCC camp in the 30's. You have the ability to see the work they did and even hike to the camp itself."

Timothy K. notes about Keystone State Park Campground: "Full hook up camping is available throughout the year. Close to a small town with shopping, fuel, and a couple great restaurants."

Cabin layout and privacy: Cabins at Three Ponds Community feature A-frame construction with seasonal water access. "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," explains jaleesia C. from Three Ponds Community.
Bathroom facilities: Shower availability varies significantly between parks. Annie C. notes at Osage Hills: "The bathhouse was clean and had electric. There were two shower stalls, but no doors or curtains, so best not be modest."

Greg F. warns about Lake McMurtry West Campground: "The road access to this campground is probably the worst that I have experienced. The last several miles to this campground are incredibly rough. We are pulling a 34 foot fifth wheel and the slow speed required adds another 30 minutes."
Seasonal water access: Winter campers should verify utility availability. Chris S. shares about Settle Inn RV Park: "The campground manager was very pleasant and worked with us over several months. The setting is beautiful, and the atmosphere is very laid back. The price for a full hook up site is also very, very reasonable."
