Oologah Lake - COE/Blue Creek
Overview
Blue Creek Campground offers a serene escape on the eastern shores of Oologah Lake in northeastern Oklahoma. As a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers facility, this park provides a spacious and natural environment that contrasts with high-density commercial resorts. The campground is characterized by its lush greenery and direct access to one of the region's most popular bodies of water. Visitors often come here to reconnect with nature while enjoying the steady breezes and sunset views over the reservoir.
Location & Surroundings
Situated on the edge of the 30,000-acre Oologah Lake, Blue Creek is surrounded by a mix of tallgrass prairie and dense hardwood forests. The location provides a peaceful buffer from the hustle of city life, yet it remains conveniently close to Claremore. The terrain is gently rolling, offering many campsites with unobstructed water views. The lake itself is a centerpiece for regional recreation, known for its expansive surface area and its role as a vital habitat for local wildlife.
Amenities & Park Features
The park is well-equipped for RVers, offering numerous sites with 50-amp electric hookups to accommodate modern rigs. While many sites are shaded by mature oaks, they are designed to provide ample room between neighbors. On-site facilities include a well-maintained dump station, hot showers, and flush toilets. For those bringing watercraft, the park features a multi-lane boat ramp and a courtesy dock, making it easy to transition from the campsite to the lake for a day of recreation.

For those who enjoy hiking, the nearby Skull Hollow Nature Trail provides several miles of paths through the diverse lakeside ecosystem.
Who This Park Is Best For

We came here to go fishing for some crappie. We had a great time. Boat ramp is nice and protected from the wind and waves. The campground parking area was clean. There’s a nice dock to type you boat.

Lovely, clean, quiet campground. Bathrooms and showers are clean and you don't have to pay for a shower! Lake Oolagah is very nice and beautiful. Price is right with a lifetime senior pass! 1/2 off.

It's a nice park with great lake views. Some of the plumbing needs to be addressed. The park has become so popular It's not very peaceful at times anymore. The reservation system is a joke, when people can reserve a spot for the entire week and not show up until the weekend isn't fair to other campers. I have camped here for many years and it has changed a lot. It is a wonderful place though, just too crowded anymore. This is the first time we have been out this year 7/2022. The shower door was fixed and the plumbing was fine in 2 showers for sure. Restrooms were fine. Improvements have been made at the boat ramp, and an small area in the b loop group camping has a little gravel ramp that will work for small boats. A long time ago there was a ramp over to the east side. Hopefully the pictures will show the ramp Improvements and the small ramp. I tried to add informative pictures this time. The construction for the new dump station is complete. They installed a lot of lateral line. I noticed several new picnic tables. One shower is out of order. It's the time of year to see pelicans.
