Overview

Johnson Creek Campground is located on Lake Texoma in Oklahoma's Cross Timbers Region. The lake is said to be the "Playground of the Southwest," where outdoor activities like fishing, boating, hiking and hunting abound.

Recreation

Lake Texoma is a large reservoir with an excellent fishery and many access points. Boating, swimming, water skiing, hunting, birding and relaxing on the sandy beaches are the typical pursuits of most visitors.

The lake is known as the "Striper Capital of the World," one of the few reservoirs in the nation where striped bass reproduce naturally. Other popular species include largemouth and smallmouth bass, white bass, hybrid striped bass, white crappie, black crappie, channel catfish and blue catfish.

Also available is the scenic Cross Timbers hiking trail, a very popular trail that winds for 14 miles above the lake on rocky ledges and through blackjack woodland. Forty miles of equestrian trails surround the lake as well.

Facilities

This popular campground offers 54 paved campsites with electrical and water hookups. Sites 15-17, 44, 49, 50, and 52-54 have covered picnic tables. A day-use group picnic shelter with electricity is available as well.

Other amenities include flush and vault toilets, showers and drinking water. A boat ramp, dock and dump station are located on-site. A marina and general store are within one mile of the campground.

Natural Features

The campground is situated on the eastern side of Lake Texoma. Post and blackjack oaks forest the rolling hills of the region. Deer, turkeys, bobcats, hawks, waterfowl and songbirds are abundant around the lake.

Pretty area, unfortunate 3 women came with large board, 3 large bags and knocked down ALL persimmons so no campers, animals or others could enjoy them too. I photographed them in action and their tag #’s cause I did not see their vehicles at camp sites. Lady stopped asking me why I was videoing. I explained it was illegal activity. She stated she was camp host and had the right to to do whatever she wanted to do. Internet, Google instruction disagrees. It really should not be ok for camp host to take ALL the fruit. Campers walking thru could enjoy a persimmon or two as they pay to enjoy the park. Grass was not mown nicely and bathrooms could almost always use attention. Someone tore rails up on dock and no one has repaired. It would be nice to be able to tie a boat up to dock and leave overnight for early morning fishing. Gates are NEVER locked at 10 pm or any other time. Where are the gate keepers ? And who is paid to be in booth ?

Great location to the bathroom and down to the lake. There was not a good flat option to set up our tent at this site- so we slept a little angled which wasn’t awesome.
