Keystone State Park features cabin accommodations with modern facilities and convenient access to the lake.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Checotah-Lake Eufaula KOA offers cabin rentals with varying levels of amenities, from basic structures to more furnished options.

"Did it mention almost six miles of hiking trails? Yes, our dogs loved hiking here, the had a well marked system of signs telling you where you are in case you get turned around. "
"New weekend-- new lake! Took a couple of extra days and spent an extended weekend at Lake Keystone State Park about 30 minutes west of Tulsa. The park has two campgrounds with full hookups..."

"My 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 lake is owned and operated by Oklahoma State University. The grounds were well mowed, some of the structures are dated but well cared for. Super-friendly and helpful people at the permit office."

from $15 - $30 / night
"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."

"We walked in and they were very accommodating even though they were very busy. There is a large store with wood, ice, etc. The attached restrooms are clean and well maintained."
"During the extreme winter weather in Oklahoma in February 2021, I ducked into the KOA Lake Eufaula to wait out the storm."
"Scenery was great, a canopy of trees, very large spots for any size camper/rv/bus... water, electric, sewer, all available, fire pits, clean restrooms for showering."
"We were in site 13, closest to the highway along with two cabins and the playground. Extremely noisy so if traffic bothers you request a site towards the back. Lots of trees."
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
GuideI only have one good thing to say about this place. The girl that checked us in was very nice. The pictures are extremely deceiving from the KOA website. This property needs a ton of work. I struggled to even walk my dogs around. I wanted to do laundry but they only had one working washing machine and it stunk and half the dryers didn't work. I would not recommend this KOA to anyone.
LegendOverall 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.
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.
GuideWhile 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, a wonderful office staff, recreation rooms a meeting hall and some really cool full time people.
Did it mention almost six miles of hiking trails? Yes, our dogs loved hiking here, the had a well marked system of signs telling you where you are in case you get turned around.
For the single female adventurous types out there, my better 3/4ers was never concerned about creeps while out hiking on her own or in the rest of the park. One of the few nude resort out there.
Our att and verizon service worked very well.
We've stayed here between May and August several times
