Would like to see the shoreline cleaned up for better access to get in.

Campsites are to close together ( no privacy) and NOT good for tent camping (a lot of slope and rocky). Was warned verbally when we entered to keep our dogs on leash (and did so) but others did not. The photos of the beach are deceiving as it's mostly grown over with grass, weeds, etc. All in all the place is decent but it honestly needs to be taken care of better and the photos of each campsite need to be more detailed.

I love Tall Chief Cove and Skiatook lake. Staff at the guard shack are always friendly.

Tall Chief Cove is a great place to stay! The Hosts are great, too. We love our stays and the facilities are good. However, maintenance needs to be done on the sites. Roots sticking out of the ground, trees not trimmed on bigger spots for the tall campers, a lot of the entrances into the pads are washed out on the sides, which makes it hard to back in and could damage your camper when you drop off. In the past few years, the beautiful beach has been closed for low water and now there has been a huge cut in Park Rangers, so the beach cant be reopened. We will continue to go back and hope things are improved.

loved being close to the water, but the spot we were in had very little area that was suitable for a tent, it was spot 54. it was all rocks and i had to take my foot and scrape all the loose rocks back, to where we could have a smooth floor. would be a great spot if they would haul in a load of dirt and cover the rocks. it would give you a better place for a tent and would of been much shadier. as it was we were in the sun in late afternoon.

The campsites and restrooms were very clean and tidy. The access to electricity and well water for our dogs helped out greatly. Will be back soon.

Awesome weekend even though it rained.

We really like this campground.
@AdrianM8BF629D · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #B32
We had such a great time out there! Will definitely be back. Felt very safe as we entered and checked in. Noticed staff making their rounds and checking to make sure everything was good periodically.The restrooms and showers were cleaned daily. The lake was great as well. Clean area you can tell they maintain it properly.

It was closed due to flooding when they called me to notify me of closure, they stated Id receive a refund which I have not received ???

WE LOVE CAMPING HERE. The staff is very friendly, the sites are clean and well kept and we love being so close to the water. It's a quiet place that brings calmness and peace.

Nice camping area well maintained.
@stang8235659 · Camped on Apr 21, 2025 at Campsite #A8
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,
@LuzS7585584342 · Camped on Apr 15, 2025 at Campsite #C47
This area has beautiful sunsets. No shade .
@LuzS7585584342 · Camped on Apr 8, 2025 at Campsite #C48
Sites are pretty good here. Notuch shade. Sunset views are the best
@StephenS245469 · Camped on Oct 29, 2024 at Campsite #C54
I've visited twice and the bathrooms are always very clean compared to other campsites that I have visited.
@DavidP3257927 · Camped on Oct 24, 2024 at Campsite #H1
I loved the campground.
@TimD67F627724D · Camped on Oct 14, 2024 at Campsite #A19
I had very positive interactions with one of the park volunteers. He was very kind and helpful. I loved the area and the clean bathroom facilities.
@LouiseG11012AC · Camped on Oct 2, 2024 at Campsite #2829
We very much like this particular location. It was just too hot and dry to fully enjoy the camping experience.
@carlj7869718 · Camped on Oct 2, 2024 at Campsite #C46
Great place! I love the view and the clear water. Really need to resurface the entry road, but campsite was nice and clean.
@HeatherW288312 · Camped on Sep 20, 2024 at Campsite #A26
Smooth ride leading up to the campground. Gate attendant really set the vibe for the campground, she was awesome! A26 was our spot in the trees which was a great location, plenty of room on either side that we didn't feel encroached by the other campers. Loved the well kept amenities compared to state campgrounds, the park bench/"counter"/grill/fire ring, etc. BUT, something is not right with the electric at this site- it kept tripping our surge protector and our breakers. It was a hot weekend, <95 degrees, and luckily we weren't foolish enough to leave our dogs inside the AC'd camper because we left to boat for the day and came back to a tripped surge protector and the camper being 98 degrees inside. This was beyond aggravating as it literally happened the entire stay multiple times a day. We even put our camper to the test when we got home running all the lights and appliances to see if we could replicate the problem, and it was definitely not an issue with our camper. I would avoid this spot if hot weather camping and you want to run AC. One other minor inconvenience, the trash is not on the way out of the campground. All-in-all though, we'd definitely come back, but stay in another camping spot.
@AngelaDE04D141 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #A19
The park attendant was very nice at check-in. For the amount of campers on loop A, it was the quietest camp ground I have ever been to. And yes, there were kids there. I was impressed how clean the bathrooms were. Definitely like the design of the bathrooms too. The only thing I would say was an issue is there was no way to dry your hands in the bathroom. I would recommend this camp ground. Hope to return next year!

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
