Summary

Hawthorn Bluff offers a beautiful, well-spaced campground with plenty of shade, lake access, and recreational activities such as fishing and hiking. However, maintenance issues like overflowing trash, bathroom cleanliness, and access to amenities have been noted by several campers. Despite these challenges, many visitors still enjoy their experience and appreciate the park's overall charm and potential for improvement.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.
