Best Campgrounds near Depew, OK

Campgrounds near Depew, Oklahoma span from developed recreational areas to full-service RV parks along key regional waterways. Stroud Municipal Lake and Oaklake Trails Naturist Park provide camping options within direct proximity to Depew, while other facilities like Heyburn Park and Sheppard Point extend the range of options around nearby Kellyville. The camping areas accommodate various styles including tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin rentals. Most campgrounds feature lake access, making water recreation a central attraction in this part of central Oklahoma.

Seasonal considerations affect campground availability throughout the region, with several facilities operating on limited schedules. Heyburn Park maintains operations from April through September, while Sheppard Point extends slightly longer from April through October. "The roads to the campground are awful! Narrow and full of pot holes," noted one visitor to Heyburn Park, highlighting access challenges that affect several areas, particularly after rainfall when the region's sandy and clay-based soil becomes problematic. Summer temperatures frequently exceed 100°F, making shade a valuable commodity at many exposed campsites. Water levels at area lakes fluctuate seasonally, occasionally affecting shoreline camping and boat launches.

Waterfront access represents a significant draw across campground options in the area. Most campgrounds position sites near lakes with swimming areas, fishing opportunities, and boat launches. A camper visiting Sheppard Point reported, "The lake has a little swim beach and the water is a bit dirty like most lakes in Oklahoma. There were bathrooms and showers nearby and they were some of the nicer bathrooms that we have come across." Many camping areas feature limited tree cover, with visitors frequently mentioning the lack of shade as a consideration during summer months. Weekday visits typically offer greater solitude and campsite availability compared to weekends when nearby Tulsa residents often fill the developed campgrounds. RV campers benefit from multiple hookup options at several campgrounds, though primitive tent camping areas provide more direct lake access at most facilities.

    Cowskin Bay South

    Free is free

    For a free spot not bad. Dumpster, pit toilet that is a bit too full. Very oddly set up half sites don't have shade. On 4-5 water front. The view is outstanding. Good breeze. And for some reason the flies are out of control. Muddy clay banks but you can get to the water easy enough

    Lake Sahoma

    Not peaceful

    People coming and going all night. Cops had to show up one night. It's cheap.

    KOA Campground Checotah

    An older KOA campground that needs a little TLC

    Overall a nice layout for a KOA campground. Everything is clean, however it's showing its age. The little TLC would go a long way and turning this into a five-star campground.

    Please see attached pictures and video for more details.

    Happy Acres RV Park & Campground

    Clean and well maintained

    For anyone looking for an overnight or long time stay around the Oklahoma City area this is the place. We were received with a smile as well as a free coffee cup. In my many years of rv travels I can’t recall a time when I was given a better reception. As for the part it’s clean quiet and close to anything you need. For me it was a quick workout and to Walmart to restock the rv before heading out the next day. Oh by the way they have 32 acres of hiking trails.

    Expo Square RV Park

    Solid stay

    Was camping here for a horse fair and loved being able to walk to the barns and festival grounds. Laundry, showers, bathrooms on-site and security code locked. It's got electric, sewer, and trash. It's not really a destination if your looking for a camping experience around the fire pit and fishing. It's concrete, some grass and trees and is what it's meant for, a place to stay overnight and do your business at the fair grounds.

    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 🦂.


Guide to Depew

Camping sites near Depew, Oklahoma cluster around several lakes and waterways in this region approximately 35 miles southwest of Tulsa. Temperatures in this area frequently reach the high 90s during summer months with occasional stretches exceeding 100°F, while spring and fall camping offers milder temperatures in the 60-80°F range. Most campgrounds remain operational from April through October with limited winter services.

What to do

Water recreation at Heyburn Lake: Visitors at Heyburn Park frequently mention the sandy beach area. "The lake has a great swim beach. The showers were clean and free. Boating and kayaks are fun here," noted one camper. The swim area features a gradually sloping shoreline particularly suitable for families with young children.

Wildlife observation: Birdwatchers can spot various species including occasional bald eagles. "We actually saw a pair of bald eagles and noodlers while out kayaking! Can't wait to go back," reported a visitor to Heyburn Lake. The surrounding woodlands and shorelines provide habitat for numerous bird species and small mammals.

Hiking near Keystone State Park: The Keystone State Park Campground offers several hiking trails within 40 minutes of Depew. "We took the Ranger trail which is a mostly gravel loop that goes through the trees and past the children's fishing pond," stated one camper. These trails range from easy walking paths to moderate hiking routes with minimal elevation change.

What campers like

Privacy at less developed sites: Many campers appreciate the quieter locations during weekdays. "The park was mostly empty for our stay late October/early November... The area is really pretty and the spots by the water have an amazing view," shared a visitor at Heyburn Park. Several campgrounds offer more secluded sites farther from main recreation areas.

Naturist camping option: The Oaklake Trails Naturist Park provides clothing-optional camping within 7 miles of Depew. "While it is a nude resort (yes, we are lifelong nudists), this place has everything you need! Two swimming pools, a very nice restaurant, tennis, pickleball... and almost six miles of hiking trails," explained one camper. The park enforces strict behavior policies to maintain a family-friendly atmosphere.

Swimming opportunities: Many local lakes feature designated swimming areas with sandy beaches. At Okemah Lake, "Okemah City Lake Campground was a nice find for our road trip back home. Price was great we ended up staying an extra day." The swimming areas typically feature gradual entry points and are generally uncrowded on weekdays.

What you should know

Seasonal bathroom closures: Water systems at many campgrounds shut down during winter months. At Stroud Municipal Lake, a camper noted: "There was no water hook up but they did have 30 amp. Very quiet as we were the only ones there." Check ahead regarding bathroom availability when planning off-season visits.

Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds feature uneven parking areas. "My RV spot is so unlevel it's almost unusable. Front to back there is 2 feet in elevation difference and a foot from side to side," reported a visitor to Sheppard Point. Bringing leveling blocks is recommended for RV camping throughout the area.

Variable cell coverage: Mobile phone reception varies considerably between campgrounds. At Keystone State Park, a visitor reported "Good ATT & Verizon service. Did not try OTA TV." However, other campgrounds experience limited or no service, particularly in more remote locations.

Tips for camping with families

Playground availability: Several campgrounds maintain playground equipment for children. At Heyburn Park, a camper shared: "Fun playground for the kids. Surrounded by water. Clean bathrooms... Plenty of large wooded spots." The playground equipment tends to be basic but functional for children under 12.

Child-friendly swimming spots: Sheppard Point offers gradual-entry swimming areas. "We spent four nights here in the heat of the summer. The lake has a great swimming beach area - this seems to be a fishing lake, only a few jet skis were out besides fishing boats. Sandy bottom lake near swim beach," noted a visitor. Most swimming areas lack lifeguards, so parental supervision remains necessary.

Bug prevention: Insect activity increases in warmer months, particularly after rainfall. "Chiggers will leave red bite marks on your lower legs. Don't put insect repellent on your skin, just your shoes," advised one experienced camper at Oaklake Trails. Long pants tucked into socks can reduce exposure to ticks and chiggers during summer months.

Tips from RVers

Level site selection: RVers should carefully inspect potential sites before committing. At Oak Glen RV & Mobile Home Park, a visitor noted: "Our spot was a pull-through, not completely level, but that wasn't a problem for us." Bringing extra leveling blocks is recommended for most area campgrounds.

Senior discounts: Several campgrounds offer reduced rates for seniors. At Stroud Municipal Lake, "Self pay station. We paid $15 with senior citizen discount." Age requirements typically start at 55 or 62 depending on the campground.

Water quality awareness: Sediment levels affect water clarity at most area lakes. "The lake has a little swim beach and the water is a bit dirty like most lakes in Oklahoma," noted a camper at Sheppard Point. RVers planning to fill fresh water tanks may want to use additional filtration when connecting to campground water supplies.
