Lake Texoma Oklahoma Campground Closings




Texoma-area campgrounds maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Tulsa District will be closed starting Monday, March 23, as part of the government's effort to limit the transmission of the COVID-19 coronavirus.

In a news release issued Friday morning, the Corps said the decision to close the facilities until May 15 was made to protect employees and visitors.

The Tulsa District maintains 10 campgrounds at Lake Texoma, including:
• Buncombe Creek
• Caney Creek
• Johnson Creek
• Lakeside
• Platter Flats
• Burns Run West
• Burns Run East
• Dam Site

The Corps also offers camping at other sites in Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas.

Reservations will be honored through Sunday, but reservations after that through mid-May are canceled.

Boat ramps at Corps facilities that are not part of a campground will remain open until further notice.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 5)

FAIR. Water stained; 48 degrees; 3.39 feet below pool. Striped bass fishing is improving after the change in water levels and recent rains. Target dirty water while watching for gulls and active birds. Swimbaits and shad are working when you find active fish. Look near creeks with the water flow and rising water temperature for crappie. Target rocks and stumps on flats in 6-12 feet of water fishing jigs and minnows. Bass fishing will improve as water temperatures rise. Focus efforts at the backs of creeks and points near stumps and brush. Use this time to mark those structures with the low lake levels as well. Catfish will push up the creeks and rivers with the rains. If you can get through the jungle of jugs near the rivers. Fish stumps and flats in 15-35 feet of water with whole shad shad for numbers. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass have been good with Alabama rigs on structure, but it is about time to switch to swimbaits. Many reports of big fish being caught in open water under the birds with swimbaits. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
