Kaw Lake
Overview
Coon Creek Campground is situated on a peninsula that juts out over Kaw Lake in north central Oklahoma. The campground is rural, quiet and wooded, providing both sunny and shaded sites with plenty of scenic lake views.
Recreation
The lake and river are known for producing some of Oklahoma's largest catfish, as well as crappie, white bass and walleye, making it a popular destination for anglers. Hikers and horseback riders are attracted to the beautiful trails along the eastern shore. The Eagle View Hiking Trail is approximately 12 miles long and runs between Osage Cove and Burbank Landing. The Five Fingers Equestrian Trail extends from Burbank Landing to the Sarge Creek Cove Public Use Area. Hunters' skills are tested with excellent populations of whitetail deer, turkey, quail, rabbit and squirrel. During the fall waterfowl seasons Kaw Lake often attracts large numbers of migrating ducks and geese. During the winter visitors are likely to spot migrating bald eagles, as Kaw Lake has one of the biggest populations in the state.
Facilities
Coon Creek offers 54 campsites with modern amenities like electric hookups, drinking water and flush toilets. A boat ramp provides easy access to the lake.
Natural Features
The lake covers 17,000 surface acres and has 168 miles of shoreline. Completed in 1976, the dam and lake help provide a recreational oasis for outdoor enthusiasts of all types.

Very Nice
We only stopped for a night, but it definitely impressed. Large sites, not too close together. Quiet place, fisherman's delight I bet.
Nice place to stay
Recently stayed at Coon Creek Cove. It is fairly nice. They recently mowed and there was clumpy grass all over the place which made the bugs bad. The campground itself is quiet even though it was full. We used the shower house since they don’t have full sewer hook up. It was kept clean and you could see a crew once a day cleaning the bathroom/shower. We did like the fact that the Park Ranger was present and making rounds frequently. We will stay again in the future to give it another chance and maybe a higher rating.
Nice campground, clean and well maintained.
Campsite #35 is at the end of a row and well shaded. Get up early and watch the pelicans come in to the cove.
Playground, boat ramp, no beach or swim area.
Good fishing.
