Overview

Birch Cove is located at Birch Lake in Osage County, Oklahoma.

Cradled in valleys surrounded by rolling, forested hills, the lake is a perfect setting for nature lovers and other outdoor enthusiasts.

The lake is small yet scenic and offers several excellent outdoor recreational opportunities for year-round enjoyment, such as fishing, boating, swimming, horseback riding and picnicking.

Recreation

Birch Lake is popular for fishing and hunting, as well as family fun and relaxation.

Fish species available for the angler include largemouth bass, walleye, spotted bass, smallmouth bass, hybrid striped bass, black and white crappie, channel and flathead catfish and sunfish.

Principal game species for hunting enthusiasts include bobwhite quail, mourning dove, fox squirrel, gray squirrel, cottontail rabbit and whitetail deer.

With a boat ramp, fishing dock, playground, and a swim beach, Birch Cove has something for everyone.

All campsites are on the waterfront or within a short walk from the lake. There are also two group camping shelters that can be reserved; one shelter accommodates 6 rv/trailers, 100 people and 21 vehicles, and the other accommodates 4 rv/trailers, 60 people and 11 vehicles.

Natural Features

Birch Cove Campground is forested, and most sites have a mix of sun and shade. The 1,137-acre lake is part of Birch Creek, a tributary of Bird Creek.

The shoreline ranges from gentle to steep slopes with numerous rock outcrops. The hilltops and upper slopes are generously forested with small hardwood trees, primarily post oak, blackjack, other oaks, hickory, hackberry and elm.

Numerous species of grasses and wildflowers bloom in spring and fall. Forests, tallgrass prairie and shrub ecosystems surround the lake area.

Lot 27 at Birch Cove in Barnsdall OK is a great place to camp, rather it be in a 38’ motorhome or just sleeping in a tent. This lot is tucked up in the trees. It makes you feel like you are secluded. The only thing that would make this the most perfect lot would be if it was closer to the lake and had its own water spicket, so you didn’t need a 100’ of garden hose for water hook-ups for the motorhome/travel trailer.

During the summer we always camp at campsites 87 or 88, that way our grandkids have full access to the water all the time and we park our boats right at our campsite. Now during the fall we enjoy camping at 27. It’s still close to the water but we don’t need it too close because our grandkids won’t be swimming and we won’t be docking a boat. We are there just to relax and enjoy the scenery. We love camping at Birch Cove because we get the best of both worlds.

We were looking for a nice quiet lake to take our trailer out for the first time. Birch didn't disappoint. Had a small fishing dock close to the pad. Found a pad we have already reserved for the grands during spring break next year. The only caution would be to make sure you know where the water connections are. There are not water connections for every pad. If you get the wrong pad, you may have to hook up two pads away or even across the street. Other than that, I'd highly recommend it.
