Lake Texoma CG closure info

I found this web page that has current Lake Texoma campground closure info. A phone call might be a good way to confirm status of campgrounds too. It's sad. One of our favorite parks is completely closed except for the boat ramp.

  • Bridge on TX 91 from Denison to the dam and on to Burns Run area was washed out in last years flooding. Best I can find is that the new bridge will not be completed until May this year. Alternate route from Texas is to take OK 91 from Colbert to Burns Run area.
  • Except for East Burns Run, those are all the normal closures for Lake Texoma for the winter.

    I don't understand why the Tulsa District only opens Lake Texoma parks from April 1st to the end of September. Except for allowing winter-over camping with only limited water and no sewer at few parks.

    Looking at the web sites - all the parks will be open on April 1st, except for Preston Bend. The Recreation.gov site doesn't show that park as opening at all through July.

    Was looking at Memorial Day weekend yesterday, all our favorite sites at Burns Run West and Lakeside are taken. Reservations for Memorial Day and weekends from opening day thru July are very heavy at Lake Texoma parks.

    I just hope the rains are moderate this year, and not a repeat of the flooding of last year.
