The park is popular on the weekends and thus becomes full of tents and children. There are very few sewered sites and the office staff isn't aware of where they are located. We found 5 that they were not aware of and were very gracious when we told them. The staff tries very hard to please the guests. The term resort is used rather loosely here. Our family would stay here on a short stay but not an extended stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed here in a 5th wheel,using Resorts of Distinction. This is a membership park on the shores of The Grand Lake O' The Cherokees. Very clean park however some sites were flooded due to recent rains. Will definitely be back to his park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed at this campground numerous times...again we had a pleasant stay..the Hosts were nice and the park is clean and neat...will stay again on our way thru... We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a clean, well run park with a beautiful location on the lake. The campground staff is friendly and helpful. There is lots to see and do in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Owners were friendly, we were led to the site. We have stayed here before and will stay here anytime we are passing through the area. It is a great campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There are two areas to the park with the pull though sites being on the left side. On that side, there is no shade for the RV's and while we were there the grass had not been mowed in quite a while. The other side had been mowed. Spaces are a little narrow, mostly grass and gravel mix. Nice park at a reasonable price. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This could be the model for what an RV park should be. Clean, spots not too close, courteous and helpful staff, easy to reach, beautiful setting, well maintained, and all at a modest rate. Only thing it might have to make it a 10 is a swimming pool, since it is HOT, HOT, HOT (and humid) in the summer and the lake's shoreline is muddy and rocky making a dip in the lake an unlikely happening. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice campground located on Grand Lake. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. We arrived after the office closed, but someone came right out to get us a spot. Nice size sites. We have a jetski and they had excellent lake access with a ramp and dock (free). Wi-Fi was good. No cable but excellent over the air TV reception. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is our third time staying at this camp ground. This is a nice quiet, clean place to stay... The owners are very friendly and helpful... This is a great place to stay and we will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground is clean and well taken care of, and with the recent rain(s) the place is green and lush. Good wi-fi is available at no charge. The staff was friendly and helpful. Will stay here again...a nice place We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have camped here over Memorial Day weekend for the last 4 years. This year there are new owners and you can't tell that anything has changed. Great staff, great facilties. We will continue to come here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stopped here "on the spur of the moment" on our way back from Branson. We had seen some flyers regarding this park while in Branson. The owners are wonderful, and we were given a waterfront site. They have slips available for RV's with boats - this is free. Rates are very reasonable, and everything you could possibly want to do is within 1-2 miles of this campground. Grand Lake is a gorgeous lake (we go there all the time since we only live about 15 miles from there), with great fishing and lots to do. We highly recommend this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very nice park on the Grand Lake of the Cherokees in NE Oklahoma. There are many sites right on the lakefront and others that are shaded. There are some large rallies that use this site on a yearly basis. Boat dock, picnic ground,meeting hall etc. Good access to resturants and all the lake activities. Clean neat operation. If you like antiques visit Harber Village which is a few miles away from the camp. Great catfish at John's just down 59 going south from the entrance. We camped here in a camper.
Shady, quiet and within a mile from the stores in Grove, we found this park to be exactly as expected. The park facilities were clean and well kept, the roads and campsites were well maintained, and the pool and playground very nice. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is the restrooms, although clean, were not as pristine as I believe they should be. We really appreciated the security and personal touch the park rangers added to the experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very quiet park in a beautiful location on Grand Lake of the Cherokees. Sites are all paved or concrete. Some sites are quite spacious while others are extremely close together. Most are quite level, but a few would require significant leveling. In April, you have your pick of sites, but in the busy season, you could get a less-than-desirable site. Park is a mile off Hwy 59 on south side of Grove, with very handy access to Wal-Mart and other shopping, yet quiet. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
To fish this lake you need a boat (or a friend with a boat). There are 2 boat ramps, with parking for your trailer. The camp sites are mostly level & some have 50 amp. elect., along with city water. Free Wi-Fi internet & a dump station on your way out. Everything was clean & the grass well trimmed. The park is at the edge of town, the city and state police patrol it night & day. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were looking for a "close to home" weekend getaway. The park is clean and above all things, was very quiet. The park is located on the south side of Grove, Oklahoma. The City swimming pool is located inside the park, but was never a problem. Grand Lake has large areas of open water and is frequented by big boats. The ranger came to our site to collect the money. They were looking for a camp host. Lot's of squirrels. A great place for a family reunion. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The campground is located on bluffs above Grand lake with NO railing or fence DO NOT bring small children here!! All the good spots are rented on a yearly basis. The remaining spots so close together you can't open your slides or awnings. We didn't stay and they charged us $20 plus $8.50 to cancel. We stayed at the Pine Island Resort about 20 miles south, see our review. "We did not stay in this park" We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Management will NOT answer phone after closing, tent campers noisy up into 2 AM, slamming car doors, loud talking, music loud to 12:00 A.M. Noise discipline NOT enforced at all, last night wife could not get to sleep until 2:30 due to tent campers. This resorts so called "quiet time: is supposed to be 10:00 P.M. Management cannot be reached except by phone messages. Sites are SMALL and tent campers are mixed in among the RVers. Stay here at your own risk and IF you stay up into the early morning hours a lot. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

While this park has many things to like about it, it looks like it wants to be a resort and not an RV park. The roads are very tight and trees are all over (one had even fallen and crunched a mobile home). The park has all of the water view sites taken by long term residents, so there are only 6 sites avail for weekenders, so you have no view at all. The park pavilion is right next to the RV sites, and there is no parking, so the users of the pavilion park in front of your rig, and if you want out forget it. People will wander through your sites even when sitting outside. Quiet time is not enforced. We will not camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a great place to stay. It is a little off the beaten path, but it is definitely worth it. It sits on the Grand Lake. Everyone was friendly. The bathrooms, the showers, the pool and the store were very clean. Their are many activities to enjoy including horse shoes, basket ball, sitting on one of the many decks, also available for rental are ski boats, pontoons and jet skis. There was also a boat launch for guests. There is a small fee for the boat launch as the resort sits up quite high from the water. This was great this year as the Grand Lake was flooded. There are many RV's and manufactured homes for people who stay through out the year. The campground has cabins for rent as well. We were only there for one day, but thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
