Bear Creek Cove

This campground was one of the cleanest and well kept campgrounds we’ve stayed at. We enjoyed all aspects of camping there. Neil the campground attendant is super nice and friendly but does a great job keeping order in the campground, example he had to call a group of campers that were blaring their music after quite time hours so other campers were not disturbed during sleep hours.
Few miles of dirt roads can be challenging for some either dusty or muddy depending on the weather.
We will be returning and is now one of our regular camping spots.
Thanks to Neil for the fabulous job he does for all of us so we can have a clean and well kept campground to enjoy!

The grounds keeper is very kind and knowledgeable. Extremely clean restrooms and camp sites. Mowed and branches kept trimmed. Will definitely 💯 recommend to anyone looking for an amazing environment to camp and get away.

Lake is flooded. Our campsite well away from water. Some campsites nearly flooded. Of course the bugs were out! None is the fault of the COE.
The main road in the campsite has been repaved which is very nice. Also some campsite pads have had repair work done.
The bathrooms need updating and cleaning. Men's was pretty much unusable. We still like this campground and will undoubtedly return.

We camped at Bear Creek Cove on Kaw Lake in Oklahoma for 3 nights the last week of November. This is near Ponca City. New lake and campground for us. We were in site 17. Very quiet and other campers seemed to be deer hunters. Water is low at this end of the lake, but we enjoyed the ducks landing and taking off in the shallow water. 
While kept up, it was a bit rougher than other COE campgrounds we've been to. The other campgrounds on the lake have had or are in the process of some improvements, so maybe this one is next. Our picnic table didn't have a shade top like most others which was actually fine for November. The table is in a strange spot in the back of the site, but again fine for spreading out. 
There is a boil water advisory that we were not aware of until my husband happened to go check out the bathhouse. It was only posted there. There's not a check in station where this would have been posted otherwise. The other campgrounds did have gates/stations and it was posted at all of them. Something to be aware of. The water was silty, so we ended up buying water in addition to the water we had packed. It was fine for flushing, washing dishes, and showering. 
We drove over to Pawhuska one day to shop and explore. There's other interesting things to do in the area, especially off lake season.
The lake sits near/on Osage and Kaw reservation land.
