For those whose camping reservations are cancelled due to flood closure, please give the Recreation Reservation System time to process cancellations. We recommend you call them at 877-444-6777.

As park closures are often related to flooding, we recommend visiting our Water Control Data Site to check lake levels before visiting a lake. If you have concerns about flooding at area lakes please contact the relevant lake office where you will be camping or recreating before traveling. A link to the contact information for Tulsa District lake offices is available below.

Peak recreation season varies throughout the Tulsa District but generally ends on September 30th of each year.  Many parks and campgrounds close in the fall and remain closed through the winter months.  Some parks may have partial openings for camping on a first-come/first-served basis.  Partially open campgrounds may have reduced services, meaning that water, sewer and/or power is not available. 

Boat ramps are typically open unless the entire park is closed.  In the event of a boat ramp closure in an open or partially open park, barricades will be placed in front of the ramp.

Campsite reservations which are reservable through the Recreation.gov website are only available during the peak recreation season.

If you have questions about a specific campground, please contact the lake office.  Email contact and phone numbers are available on the “Contact a Lake” page.
