A bit of trouble at the gate. Attendant insisted to see my Senior discount pass, but I do not carry it on my person. She eventually relented and let me in.

Lived in Tulsa for 15 years and never visited this campground. We have now moved to Arkansas and we loved this campground when staying to visit friends. Good sites. Lots of trees. Some great sites right on the water! Easy access for boats and jet skis to the sites! Will be back!

We love Tall Chief! The campground is easily accessible, beautiful, clean, and has great concrete pads and canopies over the tables. The bonus for us is, Kathy at the gate is the best ever! She is so cheerful, friendly, helpful and you can tell that she loves her job. She is such a delight!

We have boats at Crosstimbers and location is perfect. We can bring our dogs and leave in camper, be able to check on them without driving home and enjoy ourselves on the lake.
Gate attendant (Kathy) is so very sweet and helpful. Our breaker box at our campground spot blew one morning. My husband had to go to work and it was extremely hot outside already. Kathy came and helped us break down all our camper, canopy , chairs, ice chest and belongings and helped HAND CARRY it to an empty spot only a couple spots away from us. All completely moved and hooked up again in less than an hour. She’s always very friendly and helpful and makes it feel like coming home when checking in.Our six year old grandson loves to stay with us too, When not on the boats he loves fishing from campground and playing on playground.

7 out of 10
Nice and clean with waterfront sites and shaded sites. Shower/ restroom area is nice but hot. (No ventilation) Boat ramp and swim beach is a short drive (12 mi) Skiatook Lake is clean and beautiful. 30 and 50 amp at each site. However;
1 Sites are paved but not level and are very narrow. (About 10’ wide with 6”-1’ drop off on each side.)
2. Most water spigots are shared and many are more than 100’ from a site.
3. Not much grass at the sites
4. No sewer hookups. Dump station is provided upon exit. (1/2 mi)
5. Trash dump is outside of campground

We have nothing but praise for the host and workers here! They are super understanding and very helpful in helping us! Our rv broke down as we were pulling into the site, my husband and son in law worked on it but we had to wait a day until the part came into Tulsa. The fuel pump and the transmission was out. My husband spoke to everyone and at the end of our paid site was up , they put us up in a temporary place, drivable but at 5 mph. How thankful we were that they were so kind!
BTW, the site was excellent also, we will definitely book that site again and be back. I would give 15 stars if allowed!
