Lake Lawtonka East Campground

We heard about this from a friend, as we are always on the Look out for local campgrounds and not Rv Parks, Resorts or Travel designation. We like the local places.
50 amp at each site along with shared water. All sites have access to the water and with good view. Easy to get into and setup.

The biggest draw back are Some of the people. Smoking butts are litter all around. Fire rings are home made and NOT kept cleaned u. Our site was easy in and ut. Driving on the Grass is allowed.

Yes we would camp here again

Made reservations in the nearby wildlife refuge and are enjoying that, but drove around town and saw this. Would have been a great option. All sites 50 Amp only, water nearby (not supposed to stay connected to it but some people do). Picnic table under shelter at each site, otherwise not much shade and little privacy from neighbors. Smooth asfalt and gravel roads. Close to main road, so may be a little noisy. Not full on a Thursday night in October, but see several units pulling in. Right on the lake.

Beautiful campground on the lake with great views of Mt Scott. Each camper spot is a pull through with covered picnic table and charcoal grill. 50amp plug only so bring an adapter. Most spots have a tree so you get a bit of evening shade on your camper. Shared water. Lots of hiking trials just a minutes drive and beach area for easy swimming. Lots of rocks on the beach so I wore my shoes in the water. Further north there is a tent only site that is surrounded by trees just off the shore (porta potty, no electricity and didn’t see water).
Would be 5 stars if they would update the bathroom/showers, the first time we stayed all the toilets were clogged.
Also annoying is the constant barrage of golf carts from the yacht club speeding through blaring music all evening while trying to relax.

After scoping out a spot at Chandler Creek we drove to the Lawton City headquarters to pay for a spot there. But when we arrived we saw this much more picturesque spot on Lake Lawtonka. After driving the primitive loop and finding a primitive spot with a great lake view, we decided to stay here instead of driving the 15 minutes back to Chandler Creek. If you arrive after 3:30pm there is a self pay drop box at the headquarters.

The primitive spots are basic dry camping spots with some rock fire rings. Most were occupied by tents on a busy Saturday night (we seemed to be the only people vanning it this particular night). We were only stopping for an evening rest, but this place seems like a great place to take advantage of the water. If we had the time we would have loved to have taken our kayaks out on the lake. The primitive loop has what appeared to be a boat launch for lake access (at least for kayaks and smaller vessels). Fishing and boating permits are an additional fee.

The primitive loop was almost full, but most campers were respectful and quiet after 10pm. The only downside was the proximity to rowdy RV campers in the adjoining campground. People were joyriding golf carts through the quiet primitive loop at all hours of the night. We were jolted awake at 3:45 am by drunk campers screaming on a speeding golf cart.

Despite that, we would love to stay here again and take to the lake. It really is beautiful. And who knew Oklahoma had mountains? We sure didn't.

Basic electric only site. Sites each had electric but water was hit or miss. I don't think most sites allow you to stay connected to water, but it was fairly empty and the staff didnt say anything. I had to connect a 15" and 25' hose together to reach. Dump site was pretty close and basic. Next to camp toilets and showers. Each site had covered picnic area and a nice view of Mt. Scott and Lake Lawtonka. Noise from the highway was noticable but easy for me to get use to.
