Beautiful sites on the lake.
Verizon signal was good.
Construction at Skiatook was a bit tight for towing. Better to come in from Sperry.
Do not use 106th street ...one lane bridges. 86th street was the best.
We did a lot of the attractions on Rt 66. Bartlesville, Price Tower and Pawhuska.
Park is well maintained. Did not use the showers.

Everything was fine till check out time they change check out time To 1 o’clock from 4 o’clock everything online says 4 o’clock all the lot tags you hang on your mirror says 4 o’clock. I was taking my boat home at 1:30 when the people called me said you need to be checked out. I don’t understand why changing the time.

This is a beautiful campground. The only criticism is that the trash dumpsters are not near the campgrounds/sites. The closest to our site was 1/2 mile over the hill to the other campsite. We saved up the trash and dropped it off when we drove out but illogical to not have near the campsites.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • 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.
