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 (Sep. 24)

GOOD. Water stained; 84 degrees; 0.21 feet above pool. Striped bass fishing is picking up with the cooler weather. Fish are schooling on the right day across deep flats eating small shad. Catching fish on swimbaits and small topwaters. Bigger fish are on structure in 25-45 feet of water. Expect the bite on live bait to pick up over the next week. Catfishing is good on baited holes in the backs of creeks and ditches in 20-30 feet of water on punch bait. Bigger blue catfish will start to feed on deep flats 40-60 feet of water drifting cut shad and whole gizzard shad. Locate bass on docks and structure as the water cools off and fish start to feed more frequently. Reaction baits and plastics off the banks in 8-15 feet of water. Smallmouth bass are staging off the banks on points with structure in 15-25 feet of water. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. Stripers continue to be hit-or-miss with the best bite on topwaters switching to slabs later in the day. Target structure and the ledges of drop-offs in deeper water. Some bigger fish can be caught shallow in the morning. The forecasted cold front should improve the bite. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
