Summary

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.
It was nice and quiet. The campground overlooks a wide valley that fills with water at times when the Kaw reservoir fills. When we were there the edge of the lake was barely visible. The campground did not show up on our RV Life app, but was still a pleasant surprise. The 1-2 mi of washboard gravel road leading to the campground from the north was slow going but manageable.
The entire campground is heavily forested providing plenty of shade. The grounds were well mowed and maintained. The roads in the campground were paved and easily navigable. The campsites all seemed fairly level, well spaced, and functional.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

When I got at my site there were 2 girls camp in my spot that I had to remove. The gate attendant said that she could file charges on me getting there to early and she was going to charge me an extra day…very rude

Skiatook Lake is the best place to camp, clean clear water with beautiful views! We loved camping at this site with the straight view of the water, we were able to watch the kids swim from under our gazebo under the shade tree’s! Parks right across the street😃
Showers are new and extremely well kept!
Frisbee golf, basketball court, lots for the kids besides swimming.
The camp hosts are friendly and welcome you with a smile!! I also love having the security of the US Army Corps of Engineers office right on the lake. The park rangers are also patrolling the camp grounds which is an amazing plus for me. If I’ve had any questions while camping I’ve always been able to ask the camp hosts, the park ranger or call the camp ground phone number for answers.
And if you want to rent a boat, a wave runner, kayak, boogie board, etc., Cross Timbers Marina is 5 star and right around the corner. Beautifully kept marina with a restaurant.
This lake has it all!

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.
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.
