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 (Dec. 31)

GOOD. Water stained; 53 degrees; 0.97 feet above pool. Striper fishing is excellent, with milder temperatures lingering and fish continuing to take live bait exceptionally well. They’re being found on deep flats and ledges in 35-60 feet of water. Soft plastics are also working and will become even more effective as the temperatures drop. Keep an eye out for gulls on the main lake and pelicans in the coves to locate active fish. Fish are very healthy and full of shad heading into the colder months. Catfishing has slowed as fish move toward the rivers with the inflow of water. Drift flats in 25-45 feet of water using gizzard shad or cut rough fish. Smaller blues are still schooled along the bluffs in 30-50 feet of water. Use your electronics to locate active crappie on brush and structure near coves and points in 18-25 feet of water. Hair jigs and small shad will produce great results. For bass fishing, look for fish moving off points to secondary ledges and humps. Use plastics and slow-moving baits off the banks in 8-15 feet of water. On sunny days, target rocky coves, as bass will pull up to feed in the warmer shallows. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are good with Alabama rigs or swimbaits in 10-15 feet of water, and deadsticking in deeper water. Birds are working most days. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
