Best Glamping near Sand Springs, OK

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!

Nestled in the beautiful hills of the Osage Hills Nation, located between Bartlesville, Oklahoma and Pawhuska, Oklahoma is Osage Hills State Park. I brought three of my grands who all had a blast! This 1,100 acre park offers swimming, fishing, hiking, biking, & even has a tennis court. The clean restrooms were a plus! Cabins, RV & Tent camping available. There is a small private lake with kayaks (Lookout Lake), many hiking trails, a swimming pool, and playground. We saw white tail deer, armadillo, & wild Turkey. There is a lot to do in the area. Woolaroc, Frank Phillips Mansion, The Pioneer Woman, The Dewey Hotel Museum, Tom Mix Museum, Kiddie Park.

Osage Hills is historic for Oklahoma as it was developed by a CCC camp in the 30's. You have the ability to see the work they did and even hike to the camp itself. The park consists of approximately 5 miles of trails for hiking and a nice smaller lake for fishing. It also has a creek that you can swim in if the water is high enough. The park is on the smaller side and reservations are a must. We usually visit this park when it is cooler and the weather is dicey since it is only an hour from Tulsa. The upper section is for tents only and every time we go it is either not open or has a boy scout troop that takes it over. The bathrooms are a mix of typical Oklahoma State Parks 50's style run downish and one newer facility. I would recommend this park as a great place for family's that are camping with younger children or trying it out for the first time.

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!

Osage Hills State Park is tucked away in the rolling hills and tall grass prairies of NE Oklahoma, and home to over 1100 acres of forest, lakes, creeks, trails, and fun. The park offers 20 fully-outfitted RV campsites, 8 rustic cabins, and over a dozen designated tent-camping sites. Advance reservations are recommended, but not required (if the designated camping areas are not full). The park also has a swimming pool, ball field, tennis courts, and an abundance of heavy concrete picnic tables available.

For the more adventurous, the park has easily-accessible lakes and creeks, hiking trails (easy-to-moderate in difficulty for the average, able adult), mountain biking trails, and scenic overlooks.

Wildlife is abundant throughout the park, but in my many experiences, have never been invasive of the camping areas. Depending on the season, ducks, geese, wild turkey, deer, squirrels, and many other forms of wildlife can be seen in proximity, with relative ease. Fishermen will enjoy the park's waterfronts, at Lookout Lake & Sand Creek, where plentiful bass, perch, crappie, and catfish can be had.

My family and I have made many great memories at Osage Hills over the years, it's a great place to get away for a weekend & enjoy nature. My favorite time of year to go would be early-mid fall, as the foliage can be truly brilliant & breathtaking. Highly recommended!

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.

First time here, absolutely love it! The roads look like they've recently been blacktopped. Very easy to get to. Lots of shade, but there's sun if you want it. Beautiful lake view from my site. Clean vault toilet. No water available anywhere tho, which lowered my review to 4. No electric or dump station, so come prepared.

Small campground with friendly hosts. Call ahead to reserve. Two main areas for RV camping. Some of the sites have nice shade. Ours had a picnic table, grill, and shade. Electric and water hookups. Access to the river for fishing or boating. There is also a nice pond that I have seen children swimming in.

When we were there, a great pelican migration was going on, and there were thousands of birds flying up the river. It was incredibly beautiful.

Campgrounds were very quite. People were friendly. Campsites are not super private.

Campground was fairly well maintained, well mowed. Bathhouse was very clean.

We had a little luck bank fishing. I think most folks fish for catfish.

Campground and campsite are both easy to get to.

Great campsite on Keystone lake. The campgrounds have access to Keystone lake, as well as bathrooms and showers. The campgrounds also have a 18 hole disc course that is rated 4.4/5 on UDisc, playgrounds, and gazebos.

I grew up in Oologah and spent many many nights camping here. The camping sites are good and close to restrooms, there is a nice sandy beach for swimming, a long rocky shoreline that is fun to explore and hunt shells, you can go fishing, boating, kayaking, visit goat island, the hiking trails are nice although I have been a couple of times and had a TON of ticks but not very often. There a lot to do!

Vibe: Classic quiet Army Corp park. Almost all RVs. Ours was the only tent. 

Cleanliness: Above average 

Facilities: Average 

General spots: Good size, good spacing, not private, some back up to lake, but there is a sizable drop off to lake level. 

Our site: Don’t remember the number, but it backed up to the lake. 

Noise: Quiet. It was a mid-week stay during the school year.

Cell signal: Good/Verizon

Other: Close to dam and behind the dam appeared to be a popular fishing spot when water was being released.

I love this place, they have a Bristo, a pool, and everyone was so friendly.

Very well kept. Clean and friendly.

Ive been going to tent camp at olt for 9 years now, very welcomed by friendly staff. And have made life long friendships with others

While it is a nude resort (yes, we are lifelong nudists), this place has everything you need!

Two swimming pools, a very nice restaurant, tennis, pickleball, a wonderful office staff, recreation rooms a meeting hall and some really cool full time people.

Did it mention almost six miles of hiking trails? Yes, our dogs loved hiking here, the had a well marked system of signs telling you where you are in case you get turned around. 

For the single female adventurous types out there, my better 3/4ers was never concerned about creeps while out hiking on her own or in the rest of the park. One of the few nude resort out there.

Our att and verizon service worked very well.

We've stayed here between May and August several times

Weather: they have a huge variety of weather from beautiful calm and clear days to tornados.

Bugs: chiggers will leave red bite marks on your lower legs. Don't put insect repellent on your skin, just your shoes.
