    Large open park with playgrounds and covered areas. Some sort of rec building. Pretty well maintained.

    Easy parking and clean bathroom right next to swim beach. Arrive early for less crowds. After 3 it…read moregot crowded but it was not bad for a Saturday. There was also volleyball court, lots of grass and picnic tables under the shade too! We will def come back year after year!

    This was my first visit to Oologah Lake. I came quite early in the morning about 8:30am on a…read moreSunday. I came specifically to hike the Skull Hollow Nature Trail. No one was in the gate attendant shack when I pulled up but there were easy to follow instructions to self pay. It was only $5 for a day pass which I thought was a great deal! The hike along the nature trail was beautiful. There are many areas where you're able to look out over the lake if you follow the "hiking" trail. I took my doggo with me. I personally didn't think it was a very strenuous hike, but I'm also fairly active. Be careful and watch your footing. I also came across what I would call a "hidden beach". Unless you hike to it or know where to locate it via boat, it's quite private. I thought it was absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to come back once everything greens up and bring a lunch with me to enjoy it for longer. The trail seemed well maintained and there wasn't any trash anywhere which is what I always like to see. I hope to get back to this lake before the end of summer. I'm trying to visit a different Tulsa District Corps lake each weekend this summer! Would highly recommend!!

    Checking in was easy. They even let us check in early. Site #45 had a picnic table, lantern hook,…read morebbq, food prep table and fire pit with additional grill. The pictures on Recreation.gov made the site look shady. In the late afternoon it is in FULL sun! On a 96' day, with humidity, it was too hot. We were all sweating, hot, and all felt sick. We finally went and sat at the next site over, #46, just to get some shade. We went up to the front to ask if we could switch. All the sites were booked. It was a miserable 20 hrs. Even our dog never stopped panting. Numbers 44, 46 & 47 all had shade. They also had lovely views of the lake. Though even their concrete picnic tables were hot. It was so hot that it had me wishing we had kept driving for 4 hour rather than having stopped here. If we had had a shady site I probably would have been singing a little different tune. People in RVs all seemed to be spending all their time in them. The women's restroom had a couple of toilets and a few showers. Some of the stalls, both shower and toilet only had shower curtains as doors. Nothing that locked. Only one toilet stall had toilet paper. Rounding up to 3 stars because of how quiet it was at night. As soon as the sun went down (just before 8:30pm,) to sun up (almost 7am) the campgrounds were quite. The only thing that could be heard was the wildlife.
