The sounds of Heyburn Lake create a backdrop for this Army Corps of Engineers campground that operates from April through October. Sheppard Point sits within forested and open terrain, offering both drive-in and boat-in access for campers seeking lake proximity. Sites accommodate RVs up to 70 feet with full hookups, though several reviewers note the narrow spacing between spots.
The campground's sandy-bottom swimming beach draws families during summer months, while the lake itself caters primarily to fishing boats rather than high-speed watercraft. Megan B. found the "beach was quiet and enjoyable" during her four-night stay. Sites include fire rings, picnic tables, and charcoal grills, though shade coverage varies significantly across the camping area. The facility features a trail system for hiking and equestrian use, setting it apart from other campgrounds near Heyburn Lake.
Bathroom facilities receive mixed reviews, with some campers noting cleanliness issues and occasional closures for maintenance. Site leveling presents challenges for RV users, with one reviewer reporting significant elevation differences. The campground's location provides access to Route 66 attractions and day trips to Tulsa. Water and electric service operate seasonally, with utilities typically shut off during winter months when the campground closes.
