    Blue Creek

    Excellent spacious campground

    We 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!

    Pawhuska Lake (Old City Lake) Dispersed

    Nice but overgrown.

    It’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.

    KOA Campground Checotah

    An older KOA campground that needs a little TLC

    Overall a nice layout for a KOA campground. Everything is clean, however it's showing its age. The little TLC would go a long way and turning this into a five-star campground.

    Please see attached pictures and video for more details.

    Expo Square RV Park

    Solid stay

    Was 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.

    Hawthorn Bluff

    Beautiful

    We 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.

    Sequoyah State Park - Marina and Cabins

    Large state park

    This park offers full hookup sites and has many hiking trails. In October, they do trick or treating every weekend - which is fun!

    Tall Chief Cove

    Ok

    Nice 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 🦂.
