Boaters and anglers find convenient water access at Echo Hollow, where Grand Lake and Spring River converge near the Oklahoma-Missouri border. The campground sits divided across three distinct areas separated by highways, with the boat ramp section charging premium rates for its waterfront proximity.
Most sites cater to RVs with level pads and hookups, though tent camping proves challenging on the hillside locations. David B. notes that "tent sites are all on a hill side so you cant find flat sites to tent camp and tent camping is poorly marked." The unimproved camping area often gets claimed by RV owners for boat trailer parking. Bathhouses serve each section of the campground, with a dump station available behind the visitor center.
Highway 137 runs directly through the property, creating significant traffic noise that multiple campers mention. Virginia F. describes it as "lovely clean campground with level sites for my rv" but notes the highway creates "quite a bit of traffic noise." The west side features lake huts for rent alongside standard camping sites, while the east side houses the visitor center and additional RV spots.
Fishing opportunities abound where the two waterways meet, with fish cleaning stations and boat ramps providing easy lake access. The campground includes recreational amenities like horseshoes, volleyball courts, and a playground. Reservations work only for RV sites through the online system, with tent campers operating on a first-come basis. Rangers conduct regular security patrols throughout the night.
Echo Hollow works best for RV campers focused on water activities, though the highway noise and limited tent camping options may disappoint those seeking a quieter outdoor experience. Additional camping options include Eagle Bluff - Twin Bridges — Grand Lake State Park and Gopher Valley - Twin Bridges — Grand Lake State Park within the same park system.
Description
The Twin Bridges Area at Grand Lake State Park is known for its quiet country atmosphere and excellent fishing for trophy-sized bass, catfish, bluegill and spoonbill. Bait and tackle are available at the gift shop. Lighted boat ramps, picnic areas, RV and tent campgrounds, snacks, lake huts, playgrounds, volleyball court and horseshoe pits are also available. Picnic facilities include tables, individual shelters and group picnic shelters for larger gatherings. Campsites range from RV sites with water and electric, and tent campsites. Comfort stations with showers are nearby. RV and tent campsites must be reserved online. The park also offers one-room lake huts with electricity, ceiling fans and screened windows. Outside the lake huts you will find grills, tables, water and restroom facilities. The park is near the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's Paddlefish Research & Processing Center, which collects important biological data, processes paddlefish meat for anglers and salvages paddlefish eggs. The Paddlefish Research Center is open only a few months each spring. Contact the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation for more information about the Paddlefish Research Center.
