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.

Campsites are to close together ( no privacy) and NOT good for tent camping (a lot of slope and rocky). Was warned verbally when we entered to keep our dogs on leash (and did so) but others did not. The photos of the beach are deceiving as it's mostly grown over with grass, weeds, etc. All in all the place is decent but it honestly needs to be taken care of better and the photos of each campsite need to be more detailed.

I love Tall Chief Cove and Skiatook lake. Staff at the guard shack are always friendly.

Tall Chief Cove is a great place to stay! The Hosts are great, too. We love our stays and the facilities are good.
However, maintenance needs to be done on the sites. Roots sticking out of the ground, trees not trimmed on bigger spots for the tall campers, a lot of the entrances into the pads are washed out on the sides, which makes it hard to back in and could damage your camper when you drop off. In the past few years, the beautiful beach has been closed for low water and now there has been a huge cut in Park Rangers, so the beach can’t be reopened.
We will continue to go back and hope things are improved.

loved being close to the water, but the spot we were in had very little area that was suitable for a tent, it was spot 54. it was all rocks and i had to take my foot and scrape all the loose rocks back, to where we could have a smooth floor. would be a great spot if they would haul in a load of dirt and cover the rocks. it would give you a better place for a tent and would of been much shadier. as it was we were in the sun in late afternoon.

The campsites and restrooms were very clean and tidy. The access to electricity and well water for our dogs helped out greatly. Will be back soon.

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.
