    "Spent the spring here and really enjoyed the campsites in the middle loop along with the easy access to a decent hiking trail. Weekdays are awesome, but can get crowded on holiday weekends."

    Pawhuska Lake (Old City Lake) Dispersed

    Nice but overgrown.

    It’s an ok campground. It looks like it hasn’t been mowed at all this year. Some of the sites would be hard to get to with all the tall grass. I camped on the back part and it was easy enough to get to. The toilets are just OK. One has the water level pretty high so I wouldn’t use that but the other one would be OK. I’m here in July and nobody else is here.

    Lake Ponca Campgrounds

    Trashy looking camp area

    Not appealing whatsoever. Small, and usually has some people in there that leave messes and stare a lot

    Coon Creek Cove

    Coon creek campground

    The campsites are nice and there is some open space. BUT every time we've camped there there are dogs barking, kids free roaming causing ruckus, people drunk and constantly playing loud music. This is why we like dispersed campers better. The last time we went someone came into my campsite and stole my cell phone.

    Bear Creek Cove

    Off the beaten path

    Although you will travel the countryside and down a gravel road, you will enjoy the quiet and lovely grounds that Neal takes such good care of. When we were there, the lake was 27 ft. above its limits, with much tree debris in the lake. So, we didn't fish. However, you can see where the grounds keeper mowed paths to where the lake would have been. You will enjoy Bear Creek Cove. Grounds has its own dumpstation. Trash. Playground. Showers and public toilets. Water and electricity hookups. Grills and covered and uncovered picnic tables.

    Tall Chief Cove

    Ok

    Nice and close to skiatook lake. The bathrooms had spiderwebs that could have been cleaned out a bit better. Campsite had scorpions at night so be prepared for that 🦂.

    Lake McMurtry West Campground

    Awesome camp + internet access

    We 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.

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Keystone Lake

    Absolutely would not recommend Jellystone RV Park at Keystone Lake.

    We called ahead and clearly explained we needed a full hookup site to test out our motorhome before a major trip. We were also told they had a playground and asked to be placed as close to it as possible. We confirmed that checkout was at 11 AM and were told if we needed a late checkout, it would be an additional$20.

     When we arrived, we were one of the only guests there, yet they still insisted on charging a late checkout fee. Even worse— the site they gave us had only 30 amp electric hookup— no water, no sewage hookup— despite what we were promised over the phone. The“playground” was a complete joke: no swings, no slides— just a small metal structure with a few steps. Nothing like what is pictured or advertised. When we asked for a refund because the site was not what we were promised, the older woman at the front desk laughed and said,“It’s raining, the kids can’t play anyway,” and refused to refund us. 

    She offered a“credit toward a future stay,” which we obviously declined. There are only THREE sites in the entire park with full hookups, and they are right at the front gate next to the train tracks. As a military family(my husband is a disabled combat vet), it’s also worth noting they do not offer any military discount. Between the poor service, false advertising, and complete lack of accommodations, this place is wildly overpriced and absolutely not worth the three-hour drive we made to get there.

     0/10 recommend. Save your money and go somewhere else. We left and stayed down the road by Pier 51 instead— a much better experience.

    Pawhuska Lake (Old City Lake) Dispersed

    A free place to camp

    This is the old city lake outside of Pawhuska. It is not Bluestem Lake (Bluestem is a couple miles north). The Old city lake is smaller and quieter and has no improvements beyond a few picnic tables and a toilet only the desperate would consider using. To reach the camping area you drive across the damn to the west boat dock area. There is a dirt road/trail that heads up to a few camping spots. Most of the camping areas have been abandoned to time but some of them are still maintained. The lake is a no wake lake and is great for kayaking. They used to stock it with trout. Near the east boat ramp is a pretty cool table top rock feature. Below the damn you can find a trail and some bluffs that are fun to explore. On top of the bluffs is an old abandoned camping area.
