Hawthorn Bluff

We rented one of the pavilions at Oologah Lake for a gathering of about 50 people, and it was perfect for our group! The pavilion was clean, spacious, and well-maintained. It included two charcoal grills, plenty of covered picnic tables, and easy access to the water, which everyone enjoyed throughout the day.
The sand volleyball court was a huge hit and kept both kids and adults entertained. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out without feeling crowded, and the beautiful lake views made for a great setting.
Overall, it was an excellent place to host a gathering! We had a wonderful experience and would definitely rent this pavilion again!

Hawthorn bluff has gone way down hill lately...trash cans were over flowing.the bathroom sink was plugged up and the lady's restroom toilets were just nasty...and plugged up...very very very disappointed with how things have gone down hill...and the water spicket was taken all week long by another camper, had to disconnect his hose just to fill.mine up and they yelled at me to put it back on...I didnt...even the Ranger told them to disconnect after filling their camper...like I said I was very disappointed and I use to go there all the time for the past 30 years

As much as I want to say I had a great time, I wasn't able to go. Me and my family were packed up and driving too Hawthorn Bluff for Boomfest when I decided to look up the events. I found out that 6 days prior they posted on Facebook that they rescheduled do to flooding and the swim hole was closed. We drove and hour there just to drive an hour the other direction to find a place along the river. I understand the flooding is out of anyone's control, but instead of me getting reminders about my camp trip in 2 days I should have recieved a notification about the flooding and rescheduling. On top of that I wasn't able to get a full refund only 50 percent. I was required to reserve an extra day due to the holiday that I didn't even need.

Had a great time with my two kiddos. The ground was a bit rocky at our campsite when it came to setting up our tent but luckily we had brought padding to put under our sleeping bags! The bathrooms were clean and stocked with plenty of toilet paper which was a nice surprise. Unfortunately the beach was closed so we did not get to swim. We will definately be back.

Just not maintained like it used to be to be

Great time! Weedeating needs done a bit better and trash emptying more often but overall a positive.

Came right after the 4th stayed a week, and the grass was knee high.

Nice park, easy to navigate. Most of the sites had a back to front slope. We towed a 14 ft trailer with the motorhome, but we found site #34 worked very well. We tried to change the site # on our reservation to # 34, however, there was a 2 hour wait on the phone to get help with that change. We ended up paying for another reservation for the night… oh well…

There was no host or employee at the park. People were running hoses across the roads to hook up to the few water stations in the park. The showers in the electric loop was closed to repairs, which they notified me before we were to arrive. But the showers in the non electric loop in the women’s restroom blasted the water in a hard stream. I tried to adjust it, but it didn’t move. I wouldn’t let a child use it in fear that they would be harmed, I wouldn’t want to see an eye or skin ripped off.

The grass had not been cut, we were there Monday-Sun, never seen anyone at the entrance! If someone doesn’t get it together the Corps is going to loose a lot of campers coming to this camp site! We used to love Hawthorn Bluff but rethinking using this it!
