  Sequoyah State Park - Marina and Cabins

  Excellent November Tent Destination

  We stayed in the north end of the Choctaw Campground, nearest the converted cabin and heated showerhouse. All facilities (water, toilets, info) were open and working. On arrival we booked a spot and had no issues with internet to do so. Rangers came through daily, but no sign of camp host over the Thanksgiving weekend. We were the only tent visitors until our last night when two additional campers arrived. The trails were great aside from some glass that appeared to wash in a long the lower nature trail, which was a concern for our dog so we went to take the fitness trail back. The sunset view from south of the lodge was worth the wait. Nature Center staff were more helpful than the info center, on top of a super educational and fun tour they held even in the chilly wind. Cons - There seemed to be less parking than spots, waterside spots definitely had signs of being washed out this season around the picnic tables, and overall it was hard to spot some numbers on spots. Spots were mostly crowded, would not come to this site in a peak season.

  Little Blue Area — Grand Lake State Park

  It's beautiful

  Yes people need to PICK UP THEIR TRASH!   WE WERE TAUGHT THAT IN KINDERGARTEN?  

  Otherwise it's beautiful. I don't stay at the waterfall. That's for kids. I go upstream it's deeper, I'm scouting it for future diving trips. 

  I'll update as soon as I get in the water with my gear. But I'll def need a 7mm probly with a  Shorty on top since I don't have a dry suit. But this water is CLEAR. amd that's what's impressive. Find clear water in oklahoma isnt easy especially if your a diver. 

  The trash thing is real, that's why I always take extra trash bags and do good. 

  Maybe if your going, you can too;)

  COE Lake Skiatook Twin Points

  Clean, well maintained campground

  Twin Points campground is a very well maintained campground. The paved campsites accommodate big rigs as well as our campervan. Didn't see many sites that can accommodate tents. The restroom/shower house was very clean & equipped with tp. The host was nice & patrolled the campground often. Camped in site #9 among oak trees. Partial view of the lake behind the site. No campsite to the right. Good separation between sites. I would stay here again.

  Buckeye RV Park

  Good eletricity

  The electricity worked. We had to bail out green water from our water hookup and the drinking water had a green tinge. We couldn't dump because the sewer was full.

  Spavinaw — Grand Lake State Park

  Great place to camp

  We love to camp here . Although it is usually pretty full so if it's peace and quiet you are looking for this might not be the place for you mainly on the holidays. And I don't like the fact that they raised the price to $15 night primitive sites. It was free just couple yrs ago. Kids love to swim and float when they aren't fishing.

  COE Lake Skiatook Twin Points

  Massive Lake

  Site #5 was level with plenty of shade. Wide picnic/patio area was clean. There was quite a drop off on 2 sides of this nicely spaced wide site. You could see the glimmer of water through the trees but really just a wooded view. The sun would shine directly on site around noon but mornings and evenings were pleasant. Bathhouse was updated and clean with individual shower stall in each of the 4 areas. Unfortunately there was little water pressure at the bathouse and just disappointing warm water in shower. (UPDATE- WIFE said she had plenty of hot water and she never she's that.) All sites share water but this particular one was too far away for nearest site to share. FYI, Water at site really high pressure, have regulator ready. Gate attendant was polite and actually on post nearly all the time. The lake itself is massive. Had no idea just how big until we saw from a distance. Wish we had a boat to take advantage. We had plenty of areas for walking the dogs. Overall we enjoyed this COE more than others mainly because of the upkeep.

  Skiatook(15 min) has a multitude of places to eat. Fast food to actual sit down restaurants are everywhere. I recommend Mac's BBQ.

  Tulsa, OK

  This place is a casino and a dog track. Very busy place- the office called us to get an idea on our ETA. Told us where to park to get our paperwork. It’s a bit confusing coming in but we hooked up with someone on a golf cart who took us right to our site. Nice and long for our 40’ motorhome and truck. Didn’t check out any of the amenities. Lots of restaurants close by.

  Crack Head Camp Hosts

  Until the state replaces these lecherous leprechauns who creep around and undress you with their eyes leering with their rotted teeth and unwashed bodies, I won't be back.  The place is managed by drug addicts.   This place is local to me and I went there often till 2023 when these folks took over.  You'll probably find missing children in their closet.  Seriously, these folks need to go.  This was my favorite park, went for years but I won't go back till I know they are gone.  I never felt afraid solo camping anywhere till I solo camped here after they took over.  There's not enough locks on  your camper door to sleep with them around.  State of Oklahoma - DO BETTER.   I spent a lot of money there but I won't spend one red cent til these folks are gone.

  Three Ponds Community

  Peaceful. Serene. Secluded.

  This has been a great experience. Especially for a solo trip. 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. The Outdoor show is a nice touch too. Will definitely be back.

  Jackson Bay Recreation Area

  Beautiful spot to camp for free

  Amazing free campground, you can stay here for 14 days. No amenities, but it's well taken care of. Some spots have grills and picnic tables.The road leading to the campground is mostly gravel, but it's manageable. Beautiful view over the lake at sunrise!

  Osage Hills State Park Campground

  Probably one of my favorites!

  Very pretty and quiet campground. Spots spaced nicely apart, new comfort stations, dump station, playground, group spots, and overall just really enjoyable place to stay.

  Water turns off to sites on Nov 1 but restrooms and showers are still on.

  Great stargazing on a clear night.

  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.

  Peaceful & beautiful

  We stayed here for two weeks we stayed on the north end which has a private shower house. We caught some catfish right off the rock peer. It is close to Hwy 51 but you really can’t tell. Gate keepers were wonderful and very helpful I saw some old oyster mushrooms all over the place possibly some lions mane 💓 I had a great time. Bait and a Dollar General were right down the road. The only thing is we were told that the lake would be low for the next two years for reconstruction of the dam. Because of the low water you can walk very far into the water from where we we’re staying. The north side we were on will close for the winter soon. I do advise having a water filter system on your rig we Will totally be returning anytime of year because this COE stays open all year. Two dump stations!

  Keystone State Park Campground

  Fun in the Sun

  Came to Keystone State Park for a camping weekend and I am pleased with the Park and facilities. We got there a little late, around 10 pm and it was l little hard to find out site because the numbers were hard to find for the campsites. Thankfully some nice people showed us where our site was. After getting to our site I was a little shocked at how close all the sites are to each other. We did however have the nicest of camp neighbors so that was no issue for us. It was Labor Day weekend so the site was fully booked. The bathrooms were the nicest, cleanest bathrooms from a campsite I have ever seen so that was definitely a plus! We came to swim and I am so happy that it was very easy to get to the water from the campsite. There were also grills closer to the water that we took advantage of while watching the beautiful sunset. The electric boxes were closed to where you put your tent so we only had to use one of the extension cords we brought. Our site was missing the fire ring but there were rocks in it's place. Overall we had a fantastic time at this campsite and would definitely come back!

  Appalachia Bay

  Nasty bathrooms, beautiful views, dirty sites

  This campground has a lot of potential. The sites are large and have beautiful views although they’re not very private. However, the site I was in (11) was covered with trash and cigarette butts. The bathrooms were a pretty good walk away and we’re your classic disgusting pit toilets. That being said, it was relatively quiet except for the occasional atv across the water, and the views are beautiful.

  Bluff Landing

  Quiet, fishable, secluded

  Peaceful area outside of Tulsa metro on the outskirts of Broken Arrow near Coweta. 25min drive into Tulsa. 10min drive to Walmart and fast food. Checkout Smokies BBQ nearby for great food. Sites were pretty level using gravel. A few were completely shaded but most were barely shaded. Shoreline really close to campsites with boatdock and fishable shoreline. Restrooms were clean but very hot. Showers available but did not use. Fire ring, picnic tables and lantern hooks available. Dump station is clean and easily manageable. Grass needed to mowed especially since several snakes were seen. Whole area was pretty clean and peaceful.

  Heyburn Park

  Beautiful, near lake, but unleveled, water too far

  The site #22 is beautiful. Right near the water, quiet. But, the park didn't have a map so we weren't sure where the site was. Also, once we found the site, finding a semi-balance space was atrocious. Took us an hour of back and forth. Finally, the water was too far- 75 ft - really?! We didn't have water pipe that long so had to fill the tank, then come back to the site.

  Afton Landing

  Beautiful scenery and a peaceful sleep

  Stopped in here for a quick overnighter to test some new gear. Very clean park with numerous sights near the water allowing for easy access and great views. Most if of not all have electric and water.

  Sights are spread out enough you’re not on top of one another. Park is pretty empty during the week, at least during the times I’ve been looking and definitely while I was there.

  Park attendant is a very nice older gentleman who checks/confirms your spot in the evening. Very nice to chat with and runs a very clean park.

  Fishing is reportedly good when it’s not 111° like it was when I was there lol.

  Tullahassee Loop Recreation Area

  Primitive but with a restroom

  When I arrived there was stragglers hanging out either fishing or just hanging out. Once they were asked to leave, they left without an issue. Camp supervisor stated that the one guy gets run off all the time. Not sure why. They also said to watch for raccoons and snakes. The campsite looks good. I will add more pictures and videos after a couple days to update my review. I choose site 15 based off other reviews on the app.

  Pine Island RV Resort

  Beautiful lake views

  Worth the twenty minute drive from Grove. The remote location is great when you want to get away and feel like you are actually camping. The park is in the woods so almost all the spaces are shaded by beautiful old growth trees. We prefer this to the glorified parking lots that so many newer rv parks have become. The kids enjoy the outdoor pool and the lake views from the north side of the property are second to none at Grand Lake. Finally, the staff have been extremely friendly and helpful when we've stayed here and rates are great, especially for members.

  2nd time coming here

  I was here last week and stayed Tuesday - Friday and had a great time. I came back, this week in a better spot and here M-F. Saw some really interesting paw prints and found a bunch or fish skeletons. One was an Alligator Gar and the rest were catfish of different types. I would recommend the campsite to anyone. Is quite, nice and well kept.
