"Its a pretty sweet camp right on the lake. 20-30 tent sites. As well as full RV hook ups.
Theres hiking, biking, and fishing in the area."
"What I didn't like were the terribly short hours of the office- open 8:00-4:30, although no one was around as late as 8:30 in the morning."

"The water situation is a little weird. Spigots are shared and not very convenient on many sites. (Hoses going through other peoples sites). For $22/nights you really can’t complain."
"My husband, 2 dogs, and I reserved a spot a short walk to the water. We had a relaxing evening grilling and sitting by the fire, enjoying the peaceful night under the stars."

TravelerWe had a great time camping here! It was beautiful and clean. The bathrooms and showers were always clean and fresh. The only downside is that they don’t have water hookups at the sites. You can connect your hose to the nearest spigot but you better hope it’s long enough. The water was really high so fishing was so so. The dam is right across the road pretty much and the recreation area is nice. A couple trails with a few options.
RangerNice 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 🦂.
ScoutI loved it! It's so quiet and peaceful. Very close to town so you never have to miss anything you may have forgotten. And heck its free!
TravelerThis 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.
ScoutOnce arriving at the camp site, I discovered that the sites near the lake were very sloped making it a little difficult to find a flat spot to set up a tent. I talking to one passer-by, who was unfortunately house-less at the time, who explained that Hawthorn Bluff does not charge for camping until April 1st. I paid for my campsite as the website did not state this. I'm not upset by this because I know the fees will help maintain the park. However, this makes for some very interesting campers. The couple next to our site were having a domestic dispute where the lady sped off in her car after cussing her partner out for some time. She returned later with an 18 pack, one in her hand, and thankfully they seemed to have made up. This was hard to explain to my young kids who witnessed the whole exchange. Since they were not charging for campsites during my stay, the showers were locked and not opened as well as another restroom. There was only one opened restroom on the opposite side of the park and it had beer cans and other trash in it.
Nice views of the lake, but I think I'll cross this one off my list for next time.
ScoutGreat location, friendly staff, and very reasonable pricing. $395 for the month + electric. Laundry room on site is nice, inexpensive, and includes plenty of washer and dryers. There’s a paved walking trail right next to the campground that is well maintained and leads to the campgrounds dog park. Dog park is clean and spacious. My only thing to note is that the campground is all rock/dirt so it is very dusty, however the staff to a great job of keeping up with the area and making it a nice place to stay.
TravelerI was surprised the RV spots weren’t in a gated area as was my experience with other Loves RV spots. It was a little noisy being right off the interstate. Ran my generator at night no issue. Slept well and unbothered. Use of the communal dump is included. Shower inside Loves discounted from $18 to $10 but you’ll need to book inside with the cashier to use the discount as opposed to checking in for the shower on your phone.
Small and only 5 spots, we were the only spot taken all night. Somewhat pricey for what they offer but it’s easy to access.
GuideSpots are level and have full hook ups. We didn't try the bathrooms or laundry rooms and stayed only 3 nights. It's in the middle of town so there is plenty of road and train noises, but that didn't bother us too much. It's a decent spot to stay if you are just passing through or visiting town. Spots all seem to be pull through and they stack you close when full. It's park yourself just remember your site number. We didn't see the camp host once.
TravelerI was here in November, not sure that it's even open. 8 sites with electric and water
