What to do
Fishing at Keystone Lake: The marina at Keystone State Park offers both bank fishing and boat rentals. "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," notes one visitor who enjoyed exploring the coves and inlets.
Swimming beaches: Most cabin rental areas provide lake access within walking distance. "The cove is pretty rocky but there is a swimming area and a couple of good areas to launch/land a kayak," states a reviewer about Keystone State Park. At Hawthorn Bluff, "there is a nice sandy beach for swimming, a long rocky shoreline that is fun to explore and hunt shells."
Hiking options: Several cabin locations offer trails of varying difficulty. "The park features a couple of trails that are good for walking, hiking, and running. Both are connected to the Lake Country campground and one of them will take you to the General Store near the park entrance," explains a Keystone visitor. Another camper mentions "almost six miles of hiking trails" at Oaklake Trails Naturist Park, noting they "had a well marked system of signs telling you where you are in case you get turned around."
What campers like
Cabin placement: Location relative to amenities matters to many guests. "The cabins are right next to the playground" at Keystone State Park, making them popular with families. At Three Ponds Community, "A frame structure" cabins provide a more secluded experience as "the land is beautiful and firewood is provided for a small fee."
Restaurant access: Several cabin areas have on-site or nearby dining. "Nice little restaurant with outside dining on the dock. Thursday nights are $1.50 tacos and $2 Tecates. Friday is karaoke night. And Saturday night usually features live music from local/regional artists," reports a Keystone State Park visitor. Oaklake Trails features "a very nice restaurant" among its amenities.
Winter availability: Year-round cabin options exist but with some limitations. "A nice state park with lots of services. A full marina, a little restaurant on the dock. Full hook up camping is available throughout the year," notes a winter visitor to Keystone State Park. Three Ponds Community cabins have "currently no running water due to colder temperatures. But once it warms water is on site."
What you should know
Noise levels: Some cabin areas experience noise issues. "The only complaint is it seems there is a bar or something of the sorts and the drumming is loud and very subpar, going until late hours. Not ideal with kiddos," warns a visitor staying at Keystone State Park. At KOA Campground Checotah, a reviewer noted it's "very noisy from highway traffic for tent campers."
Bathroom facilities: Quality varies significantly between locations. "The bathrooms are okay but haven't been updated but you don't have to worry about vault toilets. I would suggest bringing soap," advises a Keystone visitor. Another campground has "clean and warm bathrooms with shower, a dishwashing station."
Cell service: Coverage is generally reliable near cabins. At Keystone State Park, "Good ATT & Verizon service. Did not try OTA TV." Oaklake Trails reports "our att and verizon service worked very well."
Tips for camping with families
Playground proximity: Choose cabins near play areas. "The cabins are right next to the playground" at one location, while Checotah-Lake Eufaula KOA has "a donkey, geese, a park for the kiddos, and a little c store to get some extras you may need."
Swimming safety: Some beach areas have free safety equipment. At Hawthorn Bluff, the "swim beach was well kept and easily accessible with free life jacket loaners."
Wildlife awareness: Secure food properly overnight. "Though we didn't actually see much wildlife, we did have what we think was a sneaky raccoon steal our bread in the night, so lock that cooler up tight!" warns a Keystone State Park visitor. Another campground reports "Wildlife is also been a problem here as far as raccoons and skunks go."
Tips from RVers
Site leveling: Many cabins with RV parking have uneven terrain. At Checotah-Lake Eufaula KOA, one visitor mentioned their site was "level enough we didn't need to unhitch. Listed as a gravel site but more dirt than gravel." At Hawthorn Bluff, a visitor notes "the site was slanted so much that we could not get level front to back. We moved a couple of times and tried all combination of stacking lumber under the tongue jack."
Hookup variations: Water access differs between properties. "The site did not have a dedicated water hook up. We had to buy a 75' hose to put water in our fresh tank," reports a visitor at Hawthorn Bluff, while many properties advertise direct connections.
Road conditions: Access roads may present challenges. Checotah-Lake Eufaula KOA has "easy on/off, though the service road isn't in good shape," according to a reviewer.
