What Guests Are Saying

Bear Creek Cove is praised for its beautiful, well-maintained grounds and exceptional camp host, Neal, who enhances the camping experience with his friendliness and cleanliness efforts. Campers appreciate the peaceful atmosphere, spacious sites, and the overall cleanliness of the facilities, including bathrooms. However, some have noted challenges with water quality and the check-in process due to limited cell service, along with occasional weather-related issues.

Beautiful location but can’t predict weather. Not their fault but unable to enjoy experience. Should have closed it down. Lake flooded. There was only a fire pit. No grill for us old folks to cook.

We camp at several parks in Oklahoma and other states,This place by far was the most well kept campground we have been to,wish the caretaker could travel to other campgrounds and teach host how to keep a campground taken care of this nice,the boat ramp was horrible,not the responsibility of the caretaker at Bear Creek.

We loved camping at Bear Creek! It's quiet with lots of green forest. My only suggestion is that when there is a boil water directive, that it is emailed out to the campers so we can bring extra water with us. However, the camp host is amazing! I loved listening to all of his stories, and I appreciated the advice he gave about being a camp host. Thanks for a great time!

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • 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.
