Very nice campground. Right on the lake, with fishing, hiking and swimming, volleyball court, and playgrounds for the kids!

Stayed for 4 nights and at least 2 of the 4 showers were not in working order the entire stay. One day there was only 1 of 4 working and they are not in very good condition.
Well deserved attention wouldn't hurt them at all and make me more comfortable paying full price when I didn't have full access to the advertised amenities but still paid full price.
We won't be back unless the restrooms/showers are all in good condition and working (4 out of 4).

It is a nice campground. The campground seems to have a lot of day use traffic even though signs say not for day use. Maybe the sign needs to be bigger at entry and down by fishing dock. Bathrooms were clean.

This is a very lovely campground with well thought out sites, lots of shade, good lake views, nice breezes coming off the water, fishing dock, hiking trail, easy access to the swimming/boat ramp area & disc golf course. The lake is popular for fishing & other water sports.
The towns of Oologah & Claremore are close & of historical interest as the birthplace of Will Rogers. Oologah has 2 farm to table type retailers for those interested in homegrown/homemade local flavor. Of course, Owasso & Tulsa are also close by for additional shopping & dining. Overall, this camping area is easily accessible to appealing activities & amenities, both inside & outside of the campsite itself.

Bath house is marginally clean and two showers are out of order. There is no camp host. Trash hasn’t been picked up since some time in April and dumpsters are over flowing. When we arrived, no one was at the gate house although it was manned later. We have been camping here for the last 10 years and have never seen it like this.
