Brush Creek Public Use Area

About

Brush Creek Public Use Area is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers campground located downstream of Keystone Dam, just 10 minutes from downtown Tulsa. The park sits along the Arkansas River and provides excellent access to tailwater fishing via a pedestrian bridge that connects directly to the fishing berm below the dam. Striped bass, white bass, white crappie, and various catfish species are commonly caught here. The campground has 19 RV sites, all equipped with 50-amp electrical service, water hookups, picnic tables, fire rings, grills, and lantern hooks. Sites 1-14 form an inner circle with full hookups including sewer connections, while sites 15-20 offer electric and water only. A modern restroom and shower facility with hot water is available, along with a dump station. Maximum RV lengths vary by site, ranging from 45 to 70 feet. On-site recreation includes a playground, basketball court, sand volleyball court, horseshoe pits, and cornhole. A mile-long fitness trail with exercise stations winds through the area. Nearby trails include the Two Rivers Trail and Keystone Singletrack Trail. Water releases from the dam are preceded by warning horn signals as a safety measure for those near the water; the campground itself is not in danger.
