ScoutIf you don’t have an RV or camper to keep up with the Jones’ so to speak other campers will turn their noses up at you and the lady that works the gate may call the police on you if your vehicle breaks down out front at 10 PM.
TravelerIt’s Nov,1. I’m the only one here right now. The place looks nice. The power works👍 there are rest rooms with shower, it’s open and lights are on
TravelerPerfect overnight stop for us. Beautiful lake. We were the only ones there, which we loved. Grounds are mowed. Spacious, flat places to park. Our rig is off grid, so we don't need any hookups. Pit toilets are disgusting but we didn't use them. No fire rings. There are some benches to sit and enjoy the solitude next to the lake. Some picnic tables are still usable, but some are falling apart. We would definitely stop here again!
ScoutVery friendly and accommodating when I called for a spot. We’re in #24, which is a pull-through next to the woods and the creek beyond. Husband encountered a snake while connecting our electric. That freaked me out a little, especially with the creek nearby. They give discounts for AAA as well as Passport America, and their prices are very reasonable. Looks like quite a few people live here, which isn’t a big issue for us. We decided to stay an extra day.
GuideNice pull-through pad, great price, and we loved the shade. It was quiet too. The only bummer was no soap and toilet paper was running very low in bathroom.
GuideSuper nice spot with lots of sights but only a stones throw away from other people. Definitely a well known spot but pretty

Mannford sits along Keystone Lake in Oklahoma, offering water-based recreation opportunities with over 330 miles of shoreline. The lake was created by damming the Arkansas River in 1964 and maintains consistent water levels throughout most of the year. Campsites around Mannford range from primitive lakeside spots to full hookup RV parks with varying levels of accessibility and amenities.
Water activities at Keystone Lake: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park features water recreation beyond standard swimming. "The wibit is extremely fun even for adults. The pool areas are very nice very clean," notes Julie H. The inflatable obstacle course provides entertainment for all ages.
Hiking trails: Around Heyburn Park, visitors can explore nature paths suitable for different skill levels. "The lake is small but great for hiking, nature watching, fishing, boating and swimming," explains Melanie W. Trails range from short lakeside walks to longer routes through wooded areas.
Fishing opportunities: Fish at Lake Sahoma, known for its trout fishing. "Lake Sahoma has very few spots to camp and they are right off the main road so cars drive by often. If you love fishing, this is the lake for you," Jennifer D. explains. Remember that specific fishing licenses may be required depending on location and species.
Lake views: Tall Chief Cove campers appreciate the waterfront settings. Randy S. recommends specific sites: "The best sites need to be reserved as many as 6 months in advance. Our favorite is A22 since it's right on the water with a place for a boat and great area for swimming."
Clean facilities: Campers at COE Lake Skiatook Twin Points mention the well-maintained facilities. "Bathhouse was updated and clean with individual shower stall in each of the 4 areas," notes Craig E. The upkeep makes a significant difference in comfort during stays.

Reservation timing: Popular campgrounds fill quickly during peak season. For Tall Chief Cove, Randy S. advises, "The best sites need to be reserved as many as 6 months in advance."
Water hookup challenges: Some campsites have unusual water connections. At The RV Park at Keystone Lake, Neda H. notes, "The water hookup is under the ground like a water meter location, and both my husband & myself have physical limitations that prevent us from getting on our knees to reach under the ground for hookups."
Seasonal closures: Check operating dates before planning your trip. Heyburn Park operates from "April 1 to September 30," while some facilities remain open longer or year-round with reduced services.
Weather considerations: Oklahoma summers can be hot and humid. "We spent four nights here in the heat of the summer. The lake has a great swimming beach area," shares Megan B. about Sheppard Point. Spring and fall offer milder temperatures.
