"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.
The park has two campgrounds with full hookups..."
"Great State Park close to Tulsa. RV sites and primitive Tent Camping. Great clean and modern toilets and showers with heating and air near the marina."
$24 - $50 / night
"Nice lakeside campground. Electric at every site and communal water spigots. Flush toilets and showers. Site has a playground, disc golf course, volleyball, basketball hoop."
"I have been going to Skiatook Lake almost all of my life with friends and family to boat and enjoy the beaches."
$30 - $75 / night
"The only bad thing is the tent sites are next to the waters edge and can get flooded out. The RV sites are the best for they have shade trees."
"Lake is very nice."
"Great campground with great host.On river so fishing right there.Minutes from Sand Springs or Mannford.Great walking trails and playground"
"The outside sites only have water and up to 50 amp. The inside circle of the campground has the same but with sewer. It has a brand new 1 mile asphalt trail. Locks the gate in from 10 pm to 6 am."
$24 / night
"I have to be honest, we’re traveling the country and I didn’t have high hopes for liking Oklahoma. This campground has changed my mind."
"Site 21 is lake side with a level paved site. Hookups are close by. Some shade, but a nice view of the lake. Came on labor day as campground was emptying. Plenty of space to relax."
"Easy access to all sites. The management is fantastic and extremely helpful. This is a great place for all types of visits to the Tulsa/Bristow Oklahoma area."
"Had 50 amp hookup, water & sewer and a gravel parking spot for extra vehicle next to the RV spot. All in all, a great stay."
$6 - $12 / night
"They have RV spots across the road from the lake, and tent spots right on the lake. Go to the building near the floating deck to check in. There was a little road noise, but it did not bother me."
"Clean and beautiful lake. I take my kids there every summer for camping and fishing."
$25 - $100 / night
"I live a short drive away in Tulsa, but when hunting season started, this is where I stayed on the weekends."
"Surrounded by water. Clean bathrooms. Season ends 10/26-no water but still has electricity. Host was helpful. Plenty of large wooded spots."
ScoutIt had a smell to it the reservation making was not understood so we were made to leave after being there all day in the rain we really just found a spot and set up thinking they'd come get the money there's also free camping I believe over in the next section yes there segregated lol from poor to rich folk go figure the guy who took care of the place was super kind explained things to me and kept things cool while I did what I had to do to leave I like the place over all stand up guy
GuideWe loved our stay here. Everyone was so kind and respectful. The campground host and his dog were excellent and so helpful! We enjoyed swimming and taking a breather from our roadtrip. Quite peaceful and room to explore!
TravelerIt’s an ok campground. It looks like it hasn’t been mowed at all this year. Some of the sites would be hard to get to with all the tall grass. I camped on the back part and it was easy enough to get to. The toilets are just OK. One has the water level pretty high so I wouldn’t use that but the other one would be OK. I’m here in July and nobody else is here.
ScoutVery clean. Bathrooms has showers too. Big fish too. Will definitely go back
ScoutWas camping here for a horse fair and loved being able to walk to the barns and festival grounds. Laundry, showers, bathrooms on-site and security code locked. It's got electric, sewer, and trash. It's not really a destination if your looking for a camping experience around the fire pit and fishing. It's concrete, some grass and trees and is what it's meant for, a place to stay overnight and do your business at the fair grounds.
TravelerWe had a great time camping here! It was beautiful and clean. The bathrooms and showers were always clean and fresh. The only downside is that they don’t have water hookups at the sites. You can connect your hose to the nearest spigot but you better hope it’s long enough. The water was really high so fishing was so so. The dam is right across the road pretty much and the recreation area is nice. A couple trails with a few options.
RangerNice and close to skiatook lake. The bathrooms had spiderwebs that could have been cleaned out a bit better. Campsite had scorpions at night so be prepared for that 🦂.
ScoutWe called ahead and clearly explained we needed a full hookup site to test out our motorhome before a major trip. We were also told they had a playground and asked to be placed as close to it as possible. We confirmed that checkout was at 11 AM and were told if we needed a late checkout, it would be an additional$20.
When we arrived, we were one of the only guests there, yet they still insisted on charging a late checkout fee. Even worse— the site they gave us had only 30 amp electric hookup— no water, no sewage hookup— despite what we were promised over the phone. The“playground” was a complete joke: no swings, no slides— just a small metal structure with a few steps. Nothing like what is pictured or advertised. When we asked for a refund because the site was not what we were promised, the older woman at the front desk laughed and said,“It’s raining, the kids can’t play anyway,” and refused to refund us.
She offered a“credit toward a future stay,” which we obviously declined. There are only THREE sites in the entire park with full hookups, and they are right at the front gate next to the train tracks. As a military family(my husband is a disabled combat vet), it’s also worth noting they do not offer any military discount. Between the poor service, false advertising, and complete lack of accommodations, this place is wildly overpriced and absolutely not worth the three-hour drive we made to get there.
0/10 recommend. Save your money and go somewhere else. We left and stayed down the road by Pier 51 instead— a much better experience.
TravelerThis is the old city lake outside of Pawhuska. It is not Bluestem Lake (Bluestem is a couple miles north). The Old city lake is smaller and quieter and has no improvements beyond a few picnic tables and a toilet only the desperate would consider using. To reach the camping area you drive across the damn to the west boat dock area. There is a dirt road/trail that heads up to a few camping spots. Most of the camping areas have been abandoned to time but some of them are still maintained. The lake is a no wake lake and is great for kayaking. They used to stock it with trout. Near the east boat ramp is a pretty cool table top rock feature. Below the damn you can find a trail and some bluffs that are fun to explore. On top of the bluffs is an old abandoned camping area.
