Bull Creek Peninsula

Reservations are available at Bull Creek Peninsula, a US Army Corps of Engineers campground on Cecil M. Harden Lake outside Hominy, Oklahoma, with recently blacktopped roads that reviewers describe as easy to navigate. The campground has no water, electric hookups, or dump station, so arriving self-sufficient is essential. Vault toilets on site are consistently noted as clean across multiple visits, and trash service is provided. Cell service is available, and the campground is ADA accessible and big rig friendly.

Sites are distributed across two distinct areas: a lower section along the lakeshore and an upper section set on bluffs above the water. The bluff sites give campers views directly over the lake and tend to catch less wind than those closer to the water's edge. Trees separate many sites from their neighbors, which contributes to the low-crowd feel that several visitors have noted. The campground sees lighter use in the shoulder season, and an honor-system pay station handles fees when the host is away.

David H. describes a "beautiful sunset overlooking the lake" from site 31 on the bluff side, which gives a fair sense of what the upper sites offer at the right time of day. A boat ramp and dock provide direct water access, making the campground a workable base for anglers and paddlers. Nearby, COE Lake Skiatook Twin Points offers another option along the same lake if sites here are taken. Campers traveling with dogs will find pet-friendly campgrounds around Cecil M. Harden Lake worth checking before finalizing plans.

Guests frequently mentioned the beautiful lakefront sites with excellent views and clean facilities. Multiple campers commented on the primitive nature with no water, electric, or dump stations available.

Quiet, lots of shade, easy to get to, great roads

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.

Nice secluded spot

We stayed at site 31. It was on the side with the bluffs. Beautiful sunset overlooking the lake. Trees separated us from the next campsites. It's very primitive so bring plenty of water.

Hidden gem

This is a nice little campground that overlooks Skiatook Lake with many of the campsites right on the lake. If you are lucky you can snag a site that is up on the bluff over the lake, the views are amazing (and it was less windy than the sites down on the lakeshore)! But be careful because if you roll out the wrong side of your tent you could end up with a sharp drop into some cold water. The campground was pretty empty when I was there due to late season and some poor weather expected to roll in. There wasn’t anyone at the gate, but there was an honor system pay tube, and the campground host was really helpful.  The vault toilet was really clean which made me not mind as much the lack of showers. There seemed to be more tent campers here which might have had to do with the lack of RV delights like dump station or hookups. The area is run by the US Army Corps of Engineers and does not take reservations. The true draw is the lake, which is beautiful and had a nice boat ramp and dock. Might be a good place to spend a little quiet time.
