We stayed 6 days at site 19. The site has water and electric and the restroom/showers are right across the street. There is plenty of wildlife to be seen, a hiking trail, boat ramp, boat dock, beach, and playground. The sewer dump is just outside the gate which is about 100 yards from #19. The campground is located near the state park, ancient forest, atv riding area, and everything in Tulsa. Site 19 has mature trees and a cement slab.

There should be something that warns it is not a place for kids to come. There were so many sandburs they couldn’t play outside on any part of the grass. They couldn’t go to the playground without getting stickers. Way too many sandburs and goat heads. The place was covered. Will not go back. It was a waste of our time. We could have just stayed in the trailer, parked at the house and had the same amount of camping time.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
