Best Glamping near Oologah Lake

Hawthorn Bluff and Spencer Creek provide comfortable glamping accommodations at Oologah Lake, Oklahoma, allowing visitors to enjoy the lake's natural setting without sacrificing modern comforts. Both locations feature full electric hookups and drinking water access on well-maintained grounds. Glampers can choose sites with picturesque views, particularly at Hawthorn Bluff where several waterfront spots overlook the lake from atop scenic bluffs. All glamping sites come equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, while maintaining access to clean restroom facilities. The grounds are spacious enough to accommodate various glamping setups while preserving privacy between sites. As one guest noted, "We had a great site on the bluff overlooking the lake. It was close to the restroom that was very clean and convenient."

Seasonal activities enhance the glamping experience at Oologah Lake. Swimming at Hawthorn Bluff's sandy beach provides refreshment during summer months, while fishing from dedicated docks offers year-round recreation. Nature enthusiasts can explore hiking trails along rocky shorelines with opportunities for shell hunting and wildlife viewing. The parks provide boat ramps for those bringing watercraft, and glampers can visit nearby attractions such as the dam recreation area. For bird watchers, October brings a spectacular migration of pelicans that cover the lake with "a white layer," according to a visitor who recommends mid-to-late October for this natural phenomenon. Reservations are recommended as these popular glamping locations fill quickly, especially for premium lakeside sites during peak season from April through October.

Sleeping in Northeastern Oklahoma Woods
Beautiful old, but refurbished campground in Northeast Oklahoma, built by the CCC! Our last night of a 16-day trip is quietly coming to a close. We made reservations on-line (that's another story!), and when we got there around 8 p.m., the RV campground was about 1/3 full. There are only electric hookups and community water is scattered through the campground. There are tent cabins to rent, and separate tent camping area, also where the overlook is, although it was overgrown and not easy to see the view! There are newish shower and toilet buildings scattered around and my hubs said they were nice and clean... shower water warm only. There is a swimming pool opening early June and nice walking trails. Lots of history if you go that route!

They let us in for free!
We arrived here later in the day. We were here and it was chilly in November. Apparently the person working didn't anticipate any body showing up so late in the season. They were surprised and let us in for free. 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. We weren't really sure what to think about camping in Oklahoma and the camp site and people blew our expectations.

Cheers!

CCC Camping
What a neat little park in Northeastern Oklahoma! What I really liked was that most of the park was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) during the Depression and New Deal eras. Many of the buildings were still in use including shelters and cabins. 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. Back to the positives, the tent sites were separate from the RV sites by a good 1/4 mile so no worries about generators. I camped in site Q which was on the interior of the tent loop, but the prime spots were on the outside of the loop. If you can get site R you will be in heaven!. Each site had a picnic table and fire pit and there were nice level places for tents on all sites. There is a nice overlook in the tent loop to watch the sun rise over the valley. The bathhouse was clean and had electric. There were two shower stalls, but no doors or curtains, so best not be modest. The RV sites seemed well spaced and well maintained. There were several nice trails in the park, with one that left from the tent loop, but they weren't really well marked and it was difficult to find any trail maps. There is a pretty little lake near the entrance that you can rent canoes to take a spin around the lake, but again, it depends on whether someone shows up to man the office. Apparently I wasn't the only one struggling to deal with the office hours as someone just dumped their boat paddles and PDF's in front of the office door since there was no one to turn them in to.

Nice clean campground
Spent one night at this campground. Grounds were clean, restrooms and showers were also clean. The check in office was inviting and pleasing. We didn’t use the laundry facility while we were there, but they are available should the need arise. Bathrooms were locked and secure and passcode was required to enter. Passcode was provided upon check in. Our site was a pull through level gravel pad with full hookups. The off leash dog park was a small fenced in area with a couple of benches. Horse track and casino were well within walking distance from the camp sites. Quiet location, just off the highway. Highway could not be heard from inside our camper.

Nice views of the Lake
Very nice and clean campground. Reserve early though this one fills up fast. We camped here in the middle of the week and they where already at 75%. Lake side spots are not advisable if you have little ones, the bluffs are very close to the fire pits and have about a 30ft drop.

Very nice family stay
This was our first time camping with our toddler and it was was perfect! There was plenty of woods to get fallen firewood, well maintained trails, HEATED super clean bathrooms(it was around 45 degrees at night when we went so this was a welcome sight) showers, and also a park ranger would drive by every couple of hours so I felt very safe. We will definitely stay here again.

Nice small park
I stopped here overnight on a work trip. The spots are nice and so is the area. I was here in winter and everything is open. My only issue is that I stayed here so I could use the bathhouse. But the showers here are the kind that you have to push every 15 seconds to keep on and never really get warm although technically the water is heated. Pushing the button with painful hands is also difficult. So I skipped the shower. The bathrooms were clean.

Had to adapt
Once 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.
