Jellystone Park™ Keystone Lake

On Keystone Lake in Mannford, Oklahoma—in Creek County where the Arkansas River's impoundment behind the Keystone Dam creates a 26,000-acre reservoir 45 minutes west of Tulsa in the green-hills and red-clay landscape of northeastern Oklahoma's lake country—Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Keystone Lake combines the Jellystone network's signature family entertainment programming with direct Keystone Lake access and a water-centric amenity package that includes a pool complex with two 200-foot water slides and a toddler spray pool, the Wibit inflatable aqua park floating on the lake, kayak and paddleboard rentals, three boat ramps and docks, a swimming beach, electric and full hookup RV sites, and the Yogi Bear character visits, themed events, and daily activity schedule that Jellystone's family-camping model has refined into one of the most reliably entertaining campground formulas in the country. Oklahoma's lake country at the Jellystone standard. Electric hookup and full hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service, shaded and open positions, and the clean, modern restroom and shower facilities that Jellystone's network maintains as a baseline accommodate the family RV visitor alongside the tent sites closer to the water's edge. Three dump stations and pump-out service serve guests across the property. Golf cart rentals let families navigate between the pool complex, the lake access, and the campground activity areas without walking, and the camp store handles the daily supply needs, ice cream, and the snacks that a full Jellystone day generates. Two playgrounds serve the younger campers, and the weekly themed events—Yogi Bear's birthday, movie nights, and the character breakfast encounters that make Jellystone memorable for children—create the programming calendar that repeat families plan their summers around. Mannford sits in Creek County on the Cimarron River and Arkansas River watershed in the foothills landscape between the Osage Hills to the north and the Tulsa metropolitan area to the east. Keystone Lake, the reservoir created by the US Army Corps of Engineers' Keystone Dam on the Arkansas River, provides the sailing, water skiing, fishing, and the broad recreational water surface that makes it the primary freshwater recreation destination for the Tulsa metropolitan area's 1 million residents. The lake's 26,000 surface acres and 330 miles of shoreline create the recreational water body whose scale accommodates the full spectrum of boating, fishing, and water recreation that Oklahoma's lake culture demands. Tulsa, 45 minutes east, provides the regional urban infrastructure—the Gathering Place's $465 million riverside park on the Arkansas River, the Philbrook Museum of Art housed in a 1920s Italian Renaissance villa with formal gardens, the Gilcrease Museum's extraordinary Native American and Western American art collection, and the Art Deco architecture of downtown Tulsa's 1920s oil-boom commercial district that makes the city one of the most architecturally interesting in the Great Plains. Osage Hills State Park, 45 miles north, provides the native cross timbers and tallgrass prairie landscape of the Osage Nation's traditional territory in one of Oklahoma's most scenic state parks. Jellystone Keystone Lake operates seasonally through Oklahoma's warm-weather camping season, with the Memorial Day through Labor Day window covering the lake's water recreation peak and the character visits and themed events that drive Jellystone's family repeat visitation. The Tulsa metropolitan area's population base creates the demand that fills the campground on summer weekends with families who need the combination of water park access and lake recreation that Keystone's Jellystone position uniquely delivers. Reserve your site at Jellystone Keystone Lake and let the inflatable water park, the 200-foot slides, and the Keystone Lake access make the Oklahoma lake summer everything Yogi Bear's enthusiasm for pic-a-nic baskets suggests it should be.
