Osage Hills State Park

Enjoyed a quick stop at this state park near Bartlesville and on the way to Pawhuska. A short unpaved trail leads you to a great waterfall area. You can walk from rock to rock out to some picturesque areas around the water. The trail is pretty easy to navigate except for a few slick rocks here and there. There is an overlook we drove up to but it was just an okay view due to some tall trees blocking much of the view. Camping areas look well kept and the ranger we spoke with was very nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend this to out of town visitors like myself to get out and enjoy nature and the beautiful landscape of NE Oklahoma.

At first, Osage Hills State Park doesn't seem like something too special, but if you begin hiking the trails, you'll find some real gems. First, there are some rocky canyon-type cliffs the hand Sand Creek winding through them. It's really pretty and there are some waterfalls and big rocks to wade onto in the middle of a creek that gets really wide in some parts. Seconds, there is sand all around (hence the name Sand Creek), enough in some spots to feel like you're sand bathing at a beach... no joke! Wish I snapped better pictures of the sandy parts. It was a fun experience!

It is just an amazing experience they have many trials to hike on and you can also go camping as well

Osage Hills has always been a staple camping place for my friends and I--it's safe, it's close to town, and it's really fun! I've spent many summer days at the pool there, too. It is clean, not too big, and the lifeguards are reliable. We've had fun roasting hot dogs and grilling hamburgers right outside the pool area, too, to make for an awesome birthday cookout for one of my girlfriends. The hiking here is nice, with lots of wildlife to be discovered--owls, deer, squirrels, raccoons, and foxes. There are nice shelters for big groups to have cookouts and the campsites are free with decent facilities.

Very well maintained hiking trails with the occasional scenic vista. Quick to get to. Great for purging stress and regaining life's essential balance.* this star rating is relative to the Bvl area

The campgrounds were well-maintained, the Rangers and staff were all friendly and very kind, and the bathrooms were so clean with SOAP and PAPER TOWELS. I have camped many places and usually the soap in the bathrooms is the first thing to go. We will definitely be back. Thank you Osage Hills!

Very well kept, bathrooms super clean. The hikking trails are just Ok, a bit too easy. We will keep going back.

Great park! There are some very nice RV sites. We particularly like #19 and 20. They are nice big spots with a lot of room to get into.
