Summary
AI generated
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.
"Water at site" is misleading as water connections are shared. Sharing between two sites is not a problem when the connections are placed properly. Here about half the sites have the water connection less than 25 ft away, but the shared site needs at least 75 ft (or more). My three hoses were still 10-15 ft short. Fortunately, I had water in my fresh water tank. Sites are not maintained very well. Pads are not level. Worst COE park that we have stayed. The disc golf course is nice.
The area is really nice and clean, well maintained grounds all around. The grass and shorelines are cut and easy to access the water. We enjoy being spread out from the neighbors and having a clean campsite when we get there. Bring extra water hoses though since the spigots are shared and the camper sites are spread out. This is our favorite place in Oklahoma so far!

I highly doubt we will ever stay here again. The flies were absolutely horrible, I mean like the plagues of Egypt! We never ate outside. Spent way too much time zapping flies inside the trailer because every time you open the door, they get in. The old man that works the front entrance has no business working in the hospitality arena. Everyone in our party agreed he was an old grouch, rude, and very unfriendly. We were greeted with a scowl. Yay! He is just mad at the world and takes it out on the guests. The restrooms were decent, cleaned every morning. There were scorpions in the bathroom twice, however, and the floors don't adequately drain the shower water so the whole bathroom slightly floods. We spent all our days on the lake so we still had a great time. The water pumps have to be shared so expect a long walk to get to the pumps. Also, there are no sites with dump hookups on site, which meant we couldn't run our indoor water for washing dishes, hands, and definitely not use our toilet. Not a fan of public restrooms. Tried to purchase a honeypot from Tulsa camping world store but none in stock. This place is okay if you like primitive camping, the price is cheap and you are right by the lake.

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.
