Good place for boating but dont attempt to fish there. Much better places to go fishing elsewhere. Camping and RV hookup spots and a few little playgrounds for kiddos. Its pretty and full of deer/wildlife. Definitely not one of my favorite parks but its okay for a quick outing.

We bring our rv and camp here often with our grandkids. There are several good campgrounds and easy access boat ramps. However, most times we do have to clean up trash and cigarette butts from the area we rent. Just wish folks could be more considerate and help keep our state parks clean. Especially with covid-19, its a safe haven for everyone to come out and enjoy what our state parks have to offer. Everyone, please do your part and enjoy.

My partner and I came out with our Yorkie for the weekend. Had to move our sites after setting up but thanks to the friendly and helpful camp host Kelly, we are currently enjoying our own piece of Okie paradise here at Mullet Hill. Kelly helped me check in online and this morning I chatted with a groundskeeper while she tidied the bathrooms, which are certainly clean to my camping comfort standards. :) You will want to watch out for stickers but other than that deer are out, the trails clear are great for hiking and biking. We are having a great time, hope your next trip goes as well as ours!

The area at Turkey pass is nice. The only difficult part is getting your rv out. Going in is easy but they have some sharp turns to get out.

Its a quaint SP with neat campgrounds and trails. The lake is pretty, you can boat, fish or swim in the swim beach. We went for a hike this weekend and plan to reserve campsite for future.Didnt find the restrooms clean though, at the Little Sandy campground.

Clean picnic area. The lake is full and lots of boats on the water. Played some games and watched others play a few games I never saw before. Had a great time!!!

Very clean and beautiful. We stayed at the RV park and it was very close to the lake the fishing dock and the nature center. Lots to do and a perfect place to enjoy nature and spend time together.

Great for boating, jetskis, kayaking, and swimming. Several campsites to choose from with plenty of parking!

Had a nice time. Was quiet and peaceful w/a view that made it all that much better. Met Hog Creek Park Host & he was a great fella & really helpful. I stayed at Sandy Creek on East end. Good times, clean showers, bathrooms & grounds.

Awesome place to kayak. The water is pretty murky but still a nice and chilled relaxing point of this place. There was even a handicap camp site that is easy to roll in to.

Great place to camp but the reason I give one stars is I wanted to move my date up so my airforce husband could join and was charged other $30 I had to spend $62.00 just for two nights when everyone else in the group payed $32.00 for two night!! Im applied at how my military family was treated!! Might not be coming back!! Was treated rudely when called to ask why I was doubled charged!! Great place to be but when askings to just move up a date so someone could join then being charged again is just plan bad business in my view!! We just moved here and was just looking for a place to camp

Great warm water. Wide open spaces and plenty of camping available. I totally recommend coming and enjoying the views

I love Thunderbird Lake because its close to Oklahoma city and camping sites are spacious and clean. Many activities like bike and walking trails. East of Turkey Creek on highway 9 a dollar general and grocery store. I love Oklahoma State parks.

Very nice for the most part. I just wish people would pick up their trash. The lake is so clam and pretty I just wish I didnt have to see plastic and garbage on the shore.

Dont waste tour time or money here. I was really disappointed when I went to their website and spent half an hour trying to find out important information like how much the campsites cost or even basic contact information and I couldnt find any of that on there website and after I Googled their phone number and found their contact information through an outside source I then called them and found out that their TENT campsites cost $16 per night which is absolutely outrageous on top of that if you happen to add another tent they charge you an EXTRA $16 per night WHAT A RIP OFF! I can only imagine what an rv would cost my god lower your prices

Went fishing here with some friends, it was our first time here so we had a hard time finding the fishing pier.When we did, we were hoping to fish alone, but there were other people. Luckily it was big enough for all 8 of us to be 6ft apart and fish.Lots of boaters also got a bit close to the no wake signs...causing wakes.Lines also got caught a bunch, but we caught a couple fish including a big catfish.Regardless had some fun before it got too hot!

Nice lake.People do your part...Pick up your trash!

Little Sandy campgrounds is very nice. Its nice and quiet and comfortable here.This is our 2nd time to be here and we will be back....

Overall its a good place to camp, could use more cleanup and ranger presence to make it a better experience especially near the swim beach locations. Decent walking trails plenty of wildlife and flora to view makes it a pretty place.

Beautiful lake! Nice place to escape the city without having to drive too far. Great for fishing, swimming, camping and boating. :-)

We had a wonderful there was just a few campers there was it was wonderful

Great place to social distance with family and still have a fantastic time in the sun and cool water!

It brought back a lot of childhood memories for me.. We camped there every summer as a child. Not for just the weekend for weeks at a time... It was nice to spend some much needed family time there today..

Me and my boo went for a walk down the trails with or dig woody and swam for an hour it was so relaxing

Wow what a fun spot!!We rented @Hogcreek for weekend fun tent area. Daytime family time, night time not so...big good.Staff was fabulous. Bobby Jo Thank you for the great job you do lady !!Keeping g it Clean!!

Good times watching my kids have a blast and my niece learn to swim. Beautiful sunset!

A quiet place to relax

Nice and quiet! Decently clean area where went fishing.

I met one of the lake patrol guys, he said he was new. He was very nice.

Overall pretty nice. Although, the camping spots could be numbered better; spot #2 (where we stayed isnt numbered at all). Also, the on-line reservation system I think would be better if they could give you dates when the spots are available. Thanks.

Good place to visit with family and friends. RV and tent camping sites available. It is best to make reservations at travelok.com. Water sport activities are welcomed also.

Beautiful location. Very nice hiking and relaxing. Must see.

Good place to stay for a few nights. Staff at office and Rangers are GREAT!

Super fun and kid friendly. Water was a nice relaxing swim

They have done a lot of improvements around the lake. A few nice day use and camping areas and a couple of good beginners hiking trails. Only complaint is the camping area bathrooms they could be in better shape.

Beautiful place. Lake was pretty. Nice day to go and relax. Always a pleasure to visit this lake.

The pictures I got at night from the boat dock were very nice. Went fishing here at night on July 4th and caught nothing. Besides the fishing it was beautiful place for boating .

Awesome park. Lots of variety for the whole family

Love taking my lil ones here. They have so much fun and we dont get harrassed by the police like at Arcadia. Our new must visit lake.

Two RV spots were rented and paid for right by the water. But anyone can walk through your campsite and do as they please apparently. Even though the spot you paid for is yours for the weekend. We asked the people not to walk through our campsite, the people became upset and mad and apparently called the park ranger and lied saying that we told them they couldn’t use the beach. Which is a lie. We asked people to NOT walk through our campsite. It’s absolutely rude. The park ranger then shows up and was rude to us and wanted a step by step replay of where the people walked and where they placed each foot. Then went on to say the people have no other access to the water and HAVE to walk and trample through our campsite. Then proceed to tell us that “there’s no reason for us to be upset”. There is a reason for us to be upset! Walking through people’s PAID campsites is trashy and rude!!! NEVER will be back to this joke of a place. And you expect people to pay for your spots?? That apparently anyone can freaking use. No thanks!

This lake is fun but very busy at times. Sometimes I see recklessness just like any other lake. Sometimes its very quiet and peaceful.... but the lake water is dirty and has lots of trash in it.

Reasonably well maintained and fairly level and paved pads. It seemed to have a lot of flies for some reason though. Possibly because trash dumpsters nearby were overflowing. VERY CROWDED (full) on weekend! Tight navigating between trees lining road in a place or two.

Great Lake. I’ve had a lot of fun here while social distancing

My husband and I went camping here and in the middle of the night people decided to have a party. The area we stayed had trash everywhere and the water was so dirty. Completely disappointed with our stay.

Family outing, swimming, picnicking, boating and grilling. Winds make the lake look like a raging river with splashing waves. Many areas to park and play. RV hookups near water with great views. Picnic tables provided

Went to take pics of sunrise. Very quiet

Awesome swim beach. Nice gradual slopes. Not to slimey

We love it here. Its our second time camping here. We are at Little Sandy and its beautiful.

Was a great Halloween night

This was my first time at Lake Thunderbird and I had a terrific time. We stayed out there all day with friends, who are camping. Everyone was so friendly.

Nice tent camping area,fire pit,grill and picnic table close to beach and boat dock.

Gorgeous views and awesome walking and biking trails. Great amenities including showers. Well worth the stop for any traveler or anyone looking for some outdoor recreational activities.

A family friendly place close to your home

Love this lake!! Been going since I was a little guy! Very muddy and sandy but other than that no complaints!!! Good ol lake dirty bird!!

Typically I just drive around the lake on my way to officiate a ceremony either at a house or Thunderbird Chapel. Since COVID19 disrupted their ceremony they decided to just get married where he proposed. Beautiful day and the shoreline setting was perfect.

Much better today!! Thanks so much for keeping my happy place clean!!

Thunderbird is the only lake I usually visit. Its not too far from my city and its always satisfied all of my summer needs. Camping, (and its cheap!) swimming, fishing, cooking out, playing with the kiddos on the boat, jetskies, and tubes. Ive had many many birthday parties at this location. I also have friends that rent a spot year round on a private section near the clear bay entrance. Definitely one of my favorite places to go whether with my kids, family and friends, or even all by my lonesome.

Its a nice place theres watar,sand,dirt and trees. Only problem is hoo much sand. Overall nice place

Relaxing - my kids play for hours in the water.. their laughter - priceless

The lake is beautiful! The camp sites and bathroom were disgusting. Trash and beer cans everywhere- yes even on the bathroom floor. Maybe with COVID they stopped managing the grounds... people came in and out with no reservations and parked and partied where ever.The folks in the site next to us literally had to kick some unregistered partygoers off their site when they got there.I picked up two bags of trash off the beach and please wear shoes as there is broken glass everywhere. Another two bags of trash from our site when we got there.The RV sites look nicer and I saw grounds people picking up trash there but if don’t have a $100,000 RV don’t expect much from this state run park.

Beautiful place to hike and bike. We love the trails at lake Thunderbird

Used to be a good lake now you have to pay 8 dollars for a 45 minute swim

Been going here since I was 8. The problem Ive had the whole time is the bathrooms are always disgusting. New nice ones are gross, thats not the parks fault. People need to take care of our lakes and parks.

What a wonderful thing Oklahoma State Parks have done Here. Not only securing Hundreds/Thousands of acres of land for posterity, but also creating great campgrounds and outdoor recreation. My only complaint is we didnt book enough time in our schedule here.ILL BE BACK!

Clear Bay area has Hiking and Mountain Biking trails as well as trails for Horses. Considering the lack of Mountains the trail builders in this area have done an exceptional job of trail building. They have gotten pretty creative with ravines and drainages to create a better than you would expect for Oklahoma trail system. The trail markers could be a little better which at one time they were. Looks like time has taken a toll on the original trail markers.

Great place to walk, rock hunt, swim, adventure, fish or just hang out. Some places need a little trash pick up but other than that pretty nice.

Its pretty much what you would expect from a lake in the woods. Honestly I was just surprised by how clean the park grounds were, someone be keeping up with that

Awesome place for swimming, camping and grilling. Very family oriented.

Really enjoy this place every time we go.

Fun beaches and adequate changing rooms. Fun for the whole family

It was peaceful, clean, and friendly atmosphere. Many different things and areas to enjoy. Pet friendly.

Always a great time here. Only thing I miss is the no wake zone signs by the loading ramps. You would think people would just know, but they dont.

For the most part the part of the lake we go to is pretty clean.The kids dont like the restrooms. They can sometimes be a little dirty and awkward. The boat ramp that we use has a good side (smooth) and a bad side with a few potholes.The lake is a decent size.For the most part... the lake is clean with a few jugs or noodles here and there. Some spots have logs or sticks under water. Not too bad.Camp sights and RV sights.wakeboarding and tubing allowed

This is probably one of the most beautiful places in Oklahoma. Words cannot even begin to describe

Nature hikes are the best!! This is the South Dam area. Love it!!!

Super packed today. Lots of family fun! Everybody was happy to get out after the done of the restrictions were lifted!

Very clean. Nice quiet atmosphere. Deer everywhere.Loved it!

Always a good time when we load up the family and head on out to thunderbird

Clean restrooms, nice swim beach area

Awesome fun for the whole family!

This will always be my family spot! The troopers are great the people out there are respectful of others and my kids love the water

Ran the POOP half marathon trail run. This is a beautiful place. Great trails. I will be visiting again soon.

We spend every Monday during the summer. We have had great family memories here.update 8/20/20 Im giving it a three because they are charging us now.

Gets busy on Saturdays around noon. Not as bad as people make it out to be.

It was a little crowded but we were able to find a table for our picnic. There was plenty of room on the beach and the water was cold and refreshing.

Nearly 30 TV stations. Only 11 miles from highway. Four bar cellular. Paved and leveled sites. Open year-round. The bathrooms could stand to be updated. No Oklahoma State Parks have same-day online checked.

All I did was stopped in had a phone call and had to answer my phone call but the lake is always beautiful

This is my go too lake!!! They have several different camping areas. I love the little axe side its definitely more family friendly with awesome tent sites. Clear Bay is also a great camp area with the marina close by. Clear Bay is always a great place for a day trip if you dont want to pay for just going to the lake. The Alameda side tho that is where the day use and fish folk go!!!

I started hiking here, its great lots of wildlife. The mountain bikes look like a lot of fun. Thinking about taking biking up. 1

Its a great place 2 bring the family, whether your just campin or boatin. What a blast & relaxin @ the same time.. lol

Dont give Kelly the camp host at Rose Rock Rv site your number. We did and she called at 1 in the morning drunk not knowing anything that was going on. A week after we left. Sad but true.

The lake itself is called dirty bird, but it really isnt that bad. I found it was a nice place to go kayaking. I got a spooky picture of the lake authority while I was out there.

Lake Thunderbird is a great place to bring the family, with or without a boat. Playgrounds, picnic areas and more.

Abit confusing to get there at night and l.o.u.d. partying into the night but if thats your jam this is the place

It was nice .. Had our own space people all fridley around us ... all around good time ...

Loved it. Dogs allowed (as long as they are on a leash). Swimming, grilling boating. So much fun!

Good park..great lake

Poison ivy and ticks are a problem this time of year, be careful.

Easy hiking trails among nature. Deer are frequently seen in this area! Helpful ranger station and fantastic nature center that is perfect for the kids. Nature center is small and has limited hours due to budget cuts but the hands on exhibits and staff are amazing!

Needs better facilities and it would be great again
