Beautiful Lake! This camp ground is on the southern, flatter end of Skiatook Lake, giving it plenty of room for family recreation in addition to the swimming and boating opportunities the lake itself affords. The swimming beach was seasonally closed when I was there, but looks excellent. The bathrooms and showers were exceptionally CLEAN, although the big one in the grassy area did not supply warm water. I went during the week in the spring, and the campground was not full at all.
Pictures were not available of my campsite A8, and I would not recommend it: I could just barely level my 20 foot trailer on the concrete, and the back-in approach required too severe of a turn to make in a reasonable number of tries (single-handed). Once in and set up it was fine. Shared water was within 50 feet. Almost every other site I saw looked better,

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.
