Campsites are very close together. There is no picnic table and the fire grate things were all bent and not usable.
Trails poorly marked
It is beautiful out here but if more people had been out camping I hate to think how loud and crowded it would have been.
Traveler
Nice spot right next to the lake, very pretty and peaceful.
TravelerBeautiful lake, sites right next to the water.
LegendThis is definitely a party campground, so if that is your thing you will enjoy. Just not my cup of tea. Sites are nice and there is room, but not private at all. Best sites in Beaver Cove are 25, 26, 27. Site 27 has shade but is hard to back into. Site 26 is the best for views if it’s not hot hot summer. Bathrooms get a no star. 2 vault toilets at campground. 2 showers you have to drive to and they are an odd set up with zero privacy and water spraying all over your towel and clean clothes. Hot water was almost non-existent. While the views are pretty, the lake is way down due to drought. Fishing looks good. I will probably look elsewhere if in this area again.
ScoutLakeside spots are spacious and well kept. Be prepared for flying bugs. Lake is great for swimming with shallow flat bottom.
TravelerAlready reviewed just adding drone pictures
TravelerCouldn't ask for a better place to spend a few weeks. I ended up buying a kyack to explore the lake. I was on the primitive site (13 is the best as super shady) the staff are very friendly and the whole place is well looked after. Didnt want to leave and absolutely would love to stay here again!

Very nice woodsy campground. You must reserve in advance. We were able to fit in more trailers than the reservation said. Fairly clean bathrooms that are very close to this site.
GuideWe reserve two sites side by side in the beaver cove campground. The sites are on a slight decline but pull through and we were able to make them level with our blocks. The sides have enough room for the grandkids to roam around it besides for electric and water only but offered a view of the lake and we're close by a swim area. The trees at the sides provided adequate shade for the afternoon sun and the campground offered boat ramps couple of swim areas and on-site store for gas and supplies including and after hours vending machine with propane tanks and charcoal and s'mores supplies. The dump station provided slots for three RVs at one time and well thought out. The crap ground offers hiking bicycle and horse trails that cover a large area. Wildlife was abundant with plenty of deer and Canadian geese and squirrels. The campgrounds offer some annual sites for long-term visits but there is a waiting list to be on that.
TravelerVery nice primitive campsite. Several spots beside The lake or built a little peninsulas surrounded by water on three sides.More spots higher up on the bluff overlooking the lake. Only a couple other campers on the weekday I was there, Very quiet but there was some trash look like there might be some partying on the weekends.
I would definitely stay here again.
GuideBeautiful but crowded, place where a lot of young people like to party
GuideI was practically surrounded by water. Deer, beavers, armadillo, birds! There are many different campground areas, I stayed in Pine Grove. Bathrooms were old but not too dirty. They were heated very well. Several dump stations. Friendly staff.
GuideWe must have camped at part central. Mud lake. Noisy.. crowded. Showers were closed and turned off and the bathrooms were dirty. No longer a favorite place to stay because of the partying. May need to relocate to the other side of the lake.
LegendThe 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. The store was closed when we arrived.
The quirky bit is the number of camping spaces that are by annual permit. That means a lot of of the shore line is taken up by permanent campers, weekend campers that leave their rigs, student living and even residents (in campers). The lake being close to Stillwater, it looks like a number of students and such commute from the lake.
None of this was problematic for us, but the level of care each annual permit holder takes on their lot range from pristine to near dilapidated.
We stayed in Beaver Cove and found it to be clean, well-maintained, friendly and quiet. No real privacy buffer between sites, but the spacing was comfortable.
The park ranger made several passes through, even though the campground was only about 1/4 occupied.
Lots of birds, including a resident blue heron the locals named Charlie. Wonderful views of the cove. We stayed in lot 31 and a few large elm trees gave our campsite evening shade.
Nice fire rings and sturdy picnic tables.
All in all, a good stay.
GuideI grew up camping at this site and going to festivals down here. It is always maintained and always welcoming
ScoutBlah. Dirty. Fees out the nose.
GuideLet’s keep this lake and all other lakes and parks clean. Pick up after yourselves. Practice “leave no trace” leave the area Better than you found it, for the next person can enjoy.
GuideNice place to camp or spend the day. Just wish people would practice leave no trace, pick up after yourself.
GuideIt has a waterfall feature.
TravelerIt’s a small lake but big enough to go fishing and do your boating fun on like skiing , tubing and etc. There is camping around the lake with RV hookups in spots around the lake. A few full hookups, water & electric hookups and many just electric spots.
ScoutThis lake is nice but small. The camping is OK, however, the city of Winfield never enforces quite hours or patrols the area. If you get unlucky enough to be near a party you will listen to it all night.
TravelerThey do have a few sites with electric, sewer and water but have to get there early to get those only bad thing too is not a lot of shade by those on the south side of the lake. A few electric and water only and the lots of electric spots around the lake in areas.
GuideThis lake tends to get a little rowdy on the holidays/weekends. The rv sites are not in the best location in regards to the water, so we prefer to camp non electrical here
TravelerNice lake.
TravelerInexpensive camping
RangerI will complete this on my computer.
ScoutGood place to stay some spots have shade. There is a convenient store down the road and the office does sell a few things like ice and minnows. Need better roads way to much dirt and only one bath house that we would use and it needed to be cleaned.
