Johnson Creek Campground

Great site for our one-night stop in SE Oklahoma. We arrived on a Tuesday night so the campground was sparsely populated but the sites are space well enough to be comfortable even at capacity. The campground loop has curves, hills and trees that create a bit of a challenge for larger rigs. Site 17 is a waterfront site perched on a hill with water, electric, a covered picnic table and fire ring that offered a great view of the lake and sunset. Perfect for our one-night stay but not the best site for a longer stay, if you like to use a screen tent or want space for games, due to the slope. Not all sites had water hookup and some sites have shared water. Check the description on each site when making a reservation. Verizon cell service adequate for one night. Some road noise coming across the lake from the nearby highway which seemed to quiet down after 10 pm. We didn’t check the restrooms as we use our own facilities. Dump station near the entrance was easily accessible. We would visit again when in the area. $12 rate based on NPS senior pass discount.

This campground was just okay. It doesn't have easy access to the lake at all. It was about 10 min away to the nearest swim beach. Our picnic table was at the end of the campsite and the water was shared with neighbor. We did go looking at other campsites and thought #13 was ideal for nightly sunset views of the lake. The bathroom was not very clean and needed new shower curtains.
