Campground and facilities clean and operational. Some may think the lack of water hookups as a minus. I think it a part of camping!

Scenic park with many lake views, sites are not very level and a good deal of leveling issues can be seen throughout the park. Our site on the water had a asphalt pad and an area with a concrete picnic table and a couple of steps down towards the water where the campfire ring was. There were several vault toilets, but there was a nice newer shower house with individual showers and flush toilets. We had water and electric and used the dump station on departure, all worked well. We only spent a couple of nights and had planned to do some sight seeing, but we stayed Monday and Tuesday and most of the places we wanted to go see were closed. We drove to Tulsa and experienced the same Monday Tuesday closed issue, but found a nice little craft brewery to visit and explored some of the local collage campus.
