About
Bluff Landing is situated immediately upstream of Newt Graham Lock and Dam 18 on the Verdigris River, part of the McClellan-Kerr Navigation System, approximately 12 miles east of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. This year-round campground operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers offers 30 total campsites divided into two loops: the East loop (available year-round) and the West loop (closed November 1 through March 31 during the non-peak season).
The campground is located on an oxbow off the main Verdigris River channel, providing excellent access to backwaters for fishing and kayaking. The sloping high banks offer great water views and boat access, with the elevation helping to protect the campground from flooding. Most campsites are shaded by the surrounding mixed hardwood forest. The facility includes 25 sites with electric hookups and 5 non-electric tent sites, plus a group day use shelter.
Boaters can experience locking through Newt Graham Lock 18 or explore 24.8 miles of navigable waters upstream to the Port of Catoosa. All campsites are available through advance reservations only on Recreation.gov. Day use hours are 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM with gate closures enforced. The campground does not allow unlicensed UTVs, ATVs, dirt bikes, or golf carts, though licensed vehicles are permitted on paved roads only.
