The best camping near Kaw Lake guide

Overview

About

This north-central Oklahoma park features 168 miles of shoreline around its titular lake. With over 260 sites to choose from, this is a popular camping destination.

It's best to call ahead to make reservations if possible. Hunting is a major pastime here as well. Deer and duck are the primary prizes to be had.

Kaw Lake is particularly well known as a crappie habitat. You'll also have the chance to catch sand bass, catfish and walleye in its waters. You can fish from your own craft or rent one from the Pioneer Cove marina. Kaw Lake also features two swimming beaches.

Hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking are popular activities elsewhere in the park. The Eagle View Trail serves all three purposes admirably. Take this 12-mile trip for a cliffside view of Kaw Lake. The sinuous Five Fingers Trail lets you fully explore the eastern part of the lake area.
