Tall Chief Cove is a well-maintained campground with clean facilities, friendly staff, and beautiful waterfront sites, making it a great spot for relaxation and family fun. Many visitors appreciate the shaded areas, easy access to the lake, and the helpfulness of gate attendant Kathy. While some sites may be narrow and lack sewer hookups, the overall experience is positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

Warning to campers that arrive after 10pm: the gate attendant will not open the locked gate for you. Nothing on recreation.gov or in the reservation emails mentions this. We arrived at 10:18 and discovered this the hard way. It took over 45min to persuade the attendant on duty to let us in (there were no other campers near our site that might have been disturbed). We have stayed at 7 other COE campgrounds across the midwest - none of which locked a gate after hours.

Site B37 has amazing views of the lake. When the wind starts blowing from the north it slams into you. We would love to come back again someday.

If you need flat ground to pitch a tent, consider a site not on the outside/lakeside
Otherwise, the amenities are good and the RV spots are high quality. One bummer, no firewood for sale at the campground. If you need wood, get it at the store at the end of the road before entering the park.

From Tulsa, Oklahoma, take Highway 75 north to State Highway 20. Take the Skiatook exit, turn west on State Highway 20 and drive about 15 mi. Turn left on Lake Road and proceed about five miles to the campground.
