Sarge Creek Campground is situated along the banks of Kaw Lake in north central Oklahoma.
Most of the campsites here are shaded and visitors looking to camp with their horses or ride Kaw Lakes Five Fingers Equestrian Trail, will find Sarge Creek Campground to be very accommodating.
The lake and river are known for producing some of Oklahoma's largest catfish, as well as crappie, white bass and walleye, making it a popular destination for anglers.
Hikers and horseback riders are attracted to the beautiful trails along the eastern shore. The Eagle View Hiking Trail is approximately 12 miles long and runs between Osage Cove and Burbank Landing.
The Five Fingers Equestrian Trail extends from the Sarge Creek Cove Public Use Area to Burbank Landing.
Hunters' skills are tested with excellent populations of whitetail deer, turkey, quail, rabbit and squirrel. During the fall waterfowl seasons Kaw Lake often attracts large numbers of migrating ducks and geese.
During the winter visitors are likely to spot migrating bald eagles, as Kaw Lake has one of the biggest populations in the state.
Sarge Creek Campground offers 53 campsites with modern amenities like electric hookups, drinking water and flush toilets, including one large group campsite that can accommodate up to 60 guests. A boat ramp provides easy access to the lake.
Campsites 1-7 are available for equestrian camping, and horse pens are provided.
The lake covers 17,000 surface acres and has 168 miles of shoreline. Completed in 1976, the dam and lake help provide a recreational oasis for outdoor enthusiasts of all types.
The area holds a number of historical sites, including several Native American settlements, archeological sites and the Pioneer Woman Museum.
From Kaw City, Oklahoma, travel nearly 3 miles east on Highway 11, then follow signs to the campground.
My wife and I stayed at sarge creek from June 14 thru 17 on lot 13 . Thursday when we arrived I noticed the first two camp sites west of us had an rv on both lots and about 5 tents behind them that night wasn't bad everyone went to bed about eleven pm by Friday evening they had added more tents and about four more vehicles and I don't know how many more people they were playing music and big fire and didn't stop partying til 3 :00 am Saturday morning Saturday evening there was approx 50 to 60 people at the two campsites all the vehicles had filled up all the over flow parking and they were parking on the grass and anywhere they could and parking on our camp site car were coming all hours of the night some had loud pipes they were yelling talking loud and having a bond large bond fire talking loud next to our tent another group south of us had a big bond fire and loud music .about 1:00am my wife and I got out of bed and drove down to the camp host and told him he said that he would come down and see about 10 minutes later he came down I don't know what was said but 10 minutes after he left they went back to what they were doing before they were still partying about 3:00 am i got up out of bed I told some of them they had no respect for the other campers in that area and they threaten me my wife and I decided to pack up and leave in the dark we left about 4:00am and some of them were still partying also one south of us after whatever he would blow he air horn two or three times . the camp host let everything go he had to be able to hear the party and the air horn and why was he letting that many vehicles in and out all night long he had to know that that many people weren't camped there someone had told me earlier that the people camped there do that all the time if so they should not be able to camp anywhere I blame the camp host for not having control of his area. We were sent an e-mail of things we could and could not do and the top of my list was quite time is 10:00 pm we have camped all over the united states and we have NEVER camped at such a rude place there is also a sign on the gate that the gates will be closed at 10:00 they were never closed the restrooms pretty clean until that group started coming in .to me you need a different camp host one that would care about the area the one you have now should never be camp host anywhere and those people that were camped in those two places should not be aloud to come back we had rented four camp sites if this is the way it is going to be we will never come back we will also be putting this on Facebook and Twitter
