Park host was very nice.
Bathrooms looked like they were recently painted.
Quiet park. Good spacing between campsites. Good lake views.

We love Tall Chief Cove EXCEPT… will not/do not book the last week of September - first few weeks of October on C loop as there is a large religious group that takes over almost the entire loop and turns the place into a zoo — quite the opposite of the retreat and relaxation that our family goes camping for. They have several families on each site, trash the bathrooms (I feel bad for the wonderful cleaning crew), play their music at the pavilion early in the morning, throughout the day, and late at night, and don’t care if their dogs bark their heads off. I have inquired at the gate about this group and all I get is that they cannot do anything about this group booking. There needs to be something done, because a public place such as this is NOT the appropriate place for a private gathering of this size and length. We love camping in the fall, for good reason, but this group has caused us to go elsewhere. Please do something!!

Great site! A lot of fun activities to do with kids. Never found the hiking trails but we never got the chance to ask. The volunteers were so friendly and helpful. Shout out to Chris especially for extra wood for my boys’ campfire. Spectacular location to see sunrise and sunset over the lake. I recommend the C loop.

Elevation: 217 ft
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.
