    Osage Hills State Park Campground

    CCC Camping

    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.

    Sequoyah State Park - Marina and Cabins

    Beautiful park and campgrounds

    Even in November this is a great place to camp. In the Choctaw loop easy back in or pull thru sites. Very short walk to the lakeshore. Golf course in the park. Pet friendly. Close to tulsa too. There are shops just outside the park if you need propane or charcoal etc. Worth the trip!

    Keystone State Park Campground

    Somewhat utilitarian but nice area

    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... Green Country and Lake Country. The former has probably twice as many full hookup spots, but the latter is more picturesque. The view for most of Green Country is the boat shop and the marina. However, Lake Country campground overlooks a cove with easy access to the water. The park features a couple of trails that are good for walking, hiking, and running. Both are connected to the Lake Country campground and one of them will take you to the General Store near the park entrance. Don't expect to find groceries at the store but you can get ice, pop, candy, souvenirs, and ice cream bars. 

    Green Country campground features Pier 51 Marina. The marina store rents boats and tubes if you're looking for something to do on the water. In front of the store is the Pier 51 Cafe-- Winn's on the Water. Nice little restaurant with outside dining on the dock. Thursday nights are$1.50 tacos and$2 Tecates. Friday is karaoke night. And Saturday night usually features live music from local/regional artists. 

    The cove is pretty rocky but there is a swimming area and a couple of good areas to launch/land a kayak. The cove stays pretty calm since it's, well, a cove and due to it being a no wake zone because of the marina. If you head north on the water about a mile or so from the cove and go around the point you'll find a nice sandy beach across the way. 

    The Lake Country campground was clean and seemed to be taken care of well. Although, when we pulled in our site hadn't been swept or blown off and was covered in cotton from the cottonwood trees. The fully modern sites have nice, level concrete pads with picnic tables and grills. However, they are close together and the little strip of grass in between each site is kinda scrubby. Due to the small sites there aren't any fire rings by the pads but there is a community fire ring nearby. If you like more space and don't need sewer hookups then look at the sites closer to the water. 

    All in all, while the sites weren't perfect it was a nice campground and will probably warrant another trip.

    Osage Hills State Park Campground

    Sleeping in Northeastern Oklahoma Woods

    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 Campground

    Osage Hill

    We tent camped here at Tent Hill site C. Had a grassy site which was nice. It was kind of close to D but we had good neighbors. Also, one of the benches at the picnic table was gone. Maybe it was an ADA site. Had a fire ring and lantern pole. Just across the road from the bathroom.

    There are some good trails here. But they are in the process of making some changes and the maps are only partially accurate for the time being. We hiked to the old CCC camp and saw some old buildings and stuff.

    There is a playground at the bottom of the hill. It’s a bit of a trek back up.

    I suggest hiking down to the “waterfalls” on the river and spending some time.

    Osage Hills State Park Campground

    Good Family Camping Spot - Limited activities

    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.

    Sequoyah State Park - Marina and Cabins

    Beautiful bight at Creek Campsite

    The online reservation system wasn't working but it appeared to show many vacancies. I packed up my rig and headed out from Tulsa. Upon arrival i ran into the camp host. He said to pick a site and pay at the office the next morning. I chose a nice site on the west side of the area near the water. A beautiful night on a no frills site. I will return!


Guide to Tulsa

Cabin camping near Tulsa, Oklahoma provides outdoor enthusiasts access to the area's diverse ecosystems spanning rolling hills, plains, and lake country. Located in northeastern Oklahoma, the region experiences hot summers with average highs of 91°F in July and mild winters with January lows around 28°F. Most cabin properties remain open year-round, with peak season running May through September when water temperatures in area lakes reach 75-85°F.

What to do

Swimming at lakeside beaches: At Keystone State Park, Red Carpet campground offers direct lake access without needing to visit designated swim beaches. "We could walk down to the lake and jump in the water which beats having to go to a specific swim beach," notes Richard in a review. The park also features a children's fishing pond along the Ranger hiking trail.

Boating and water recreation: Rent boats, jet skis or tubes at Pier 51 Marina in Keystone State Park. According to Brian B., "The marina store rents boats and tubes if you're looking for something to do on the water." For those bringing their own watercraft, Redbud Bay at Oologah Lake offers additional options with Jennifer D. sharing, "You can rent all kinds of water crafts even kayaks. There's an island in the middle called goat island that is fun to check out."

Hiking historic trails: Explore trails built by the Civilian Conservation Corps at Osage Hills State Park. The park contains approximately 5 miles of trails with varying difficulty levels. Richard mentions, "We hiked to the old CCC camp and saw some old buildings and stuff." For a peaceful hike, he recommends, "I suggest hiking down to the 'waterfalls' on the river and spending some time."

What campers like

Clean, modern facilities: Several Tulsa-area cabin properties have recently upgraded their amenities. James K. praises Keystone State Park, noting "Great clean and modern toilets and showers with heating and air near the marina." Similarly, at Sequoyah State Park's Choctaw area, Christine N. appreciates that it "has full hookups, nice concrete pads & concrete picnic tables."

Waterfront cabin locations: Many visitors appreciate cabins with direct water views or access. At Hawthorn Bluff, Ann L. shares, "We had a great site on the bluff overlooking the lake. It was close to the restroom that was very clean and convenient." These elevated sites provide scenic vistas across the lake, though families should note the significant drop-offs near some sites.

Year-round availability: Unlike seasonal properties, several cabin locations near Tulsa operate throughout winter. Timothy K. recommends Keystone State Park for "Fun winter camping," noting it's "A nice state park with lots of services. Full hook up camping is available throughout the year. Close to a small town with shopping, fuel, and a couple great restaurants."

What you should know

Water access varies significantly: While some cabins advertise "lakefront" settings, the actual access can differ. Douglas notes about Hawthorn Bluff that "Lake side spots are not advisable if you have little ones, the bluffs are very close to the fire pits and have about a 30ft drop." At Keystone, Jordan N. warns, "We stayed at a tent site with a direct, but slightly tough, route down to the lake."

Cabin amenities fluctuate seasonally: Some properties reduce services during winter months. At Three Ponds Community, a reviewer notes: "There is currently no running water due to colder temperatures. But once it warms water is on site." Always check seasonal availability of utilities before booking.

Weekend noise levels: Especially during summer, noise can be an issue at popular sites. Lynzie T. observed at Keystone State Park: "The only complaint is it seems there is a bar or something of the sorts and the drumming is loud and very subpar, going until late hours. Not ideal with kiddos."

Tips for camping with families

Best playgrounds: Keystone State Park features recently updated play equipment. Richard notes, "The playgrounds were all new equipment, which is great compared to lots of the other OK state parks." Many facilities have multiple playground areas distributed throughout the property, allowing families to select sites near these amenities.

Kid-friendly swimming spots: Seek out areas with gradual lake entry rather than rocky shores. Julie H. warns about Keystone: "I forgot to take a picture of the swimming area but it is very Rocky and my children hate swimming there we don't do it very often because of all the rocks on their feet."

Family fishing options: Sequoyah State Park offers excellent bank fishing access. The park features multiple fishing docks that provide a secure area for children to fish. According to Bianca B., it's a "Great place to fish and do all kinds of water sports."

Tips from RVers

Level pad concerns: Check site descriptions carefully for levelness details. At Hawthorn Bluff, Ron K. explains: "The site was slanted so much that we could not get level front to back. We moved a couple of times and tried all combination of stacking lumber under the tongue jack but still had to sleep with our heads at the foot end of our bed."

Cabin alternatives: For RVers seeking more traditional accommodation options, Tulsa NE-Will Rogers Downs KOA provides standardized cabin rentals with predictable amenities. Renee H. notes, "Our site was a pull through level gravel pad with full hookups." The property includes secure bathroom facilities requiring passcodes provided at check-in.
