  We were here over the Labor Day Weekend and took a drive down to the lake on Monday. It was nice to see things were picked up and cleaned around the campgrounds. Everyone was having a good time and there were several watercraft on the water.

  Beautiful place. I usually go there to see the sunset. It is also a great place for barbecue and picnic. There is a fishing and camping area too. It has a beautiful scenery and is peaceful.

  Nice place close to home. I have posted some nice pictures of nature on here, but now I regret having to post some results of people that use the lake. Just why? So sad.

  Just out driving and came across an amazing site. This "lake" is huge and beautiful. The campgrounds are well maintained and designed. I was just awestruck at seeing nature at work as I reached the bottom of the stairs and realize the stairs do continue because the lake has risen. Beautiful!

  Weekend of Sept 10, 2023. I am reluctant to give a good review, because if this place becomes popular it will become filled with the same loud mouth white trash drunks that swarm the parks in NE Oklahoma and ruin the experience for everyone else. We drove 2 1/2 hours to visit Sardis, and were not disappointed at all. Potato Hills Central was the most lovely place in Oklahoma that we ever visited. It was clean, the camp sites were spacious, and best of all, it was quiet. Also, while I don't think it is designated as a Dark Sky location, it has a very dark sky!! We saw the cluster of Starlinks go by, and saw a huge yellow-orange flaming ball of something shoot across the sky as well! Late one night we walked the nature path, that was really amazing in the pitch black of night. Looking up it was like a Christmas Tree with all the branches decorated with the sparking white twinkling lights (the stars!). The milky way was huge, and I think a lot of people have never seen, or have forgotten, what a true dark sky looks like at night. I highly recommend it, so good for the soul. No generators were running; no RV engines running; no drunks partying all night, no loud music, nobody flaunting their stupid white trash LED lights all over their campers all night as if they are afraid of the dark, no dogs running loose causing chaos. Every site had both electric and it's own water. Our picnic table also had a roof over it for shade, but the trees gave plenty of shade too. It was our best camp out in years, myself and my two teen sons, the best having always been away from home, not in Oklahoma. Three cheers to the people who manage this park and keep the muck out. I hope it remains this way and it's worth the long drive to return in the future. This is what camping should be. And since you're already in the neighborhood, visit the Big Foot Museum in lovely Talihina! If you are into super bright lights all night, running generators all day and night, heavy drinking, drunk fights with your mates, loud stereos, bratty children, and loose dogs, I recommend you visit Tenkiller, Keystone, or Lake Oolahah, especially Oolagah. The camp hosts there don't give two flying flips what you do there, it's a free for all of misery.
