Coming to Steel Creek is a yearly trip with family and friends, the campground never disappoints! The area is great, access to the river is wonderful.If you come early in the season the floating is great as well. Hiking in the area as abundant with many options from easy trails to more experienced ones. There are mountain bike trails close by and also rock climbing.

@JasmineND16D43 · Camped on May 17, 2024 at Campsite #4

Always a good time at Steel Creek !

@TroyS7E16EF1AC · Camped on May 14, 2024 at Campsite #6

The facilities were very well taken care of. The camp sites were well marked and well taken care of.

@LisaB5569950 · Camped on Apr 18, 2024 at Campsite #4

Beautiful location. It is nestled in a valley right next to the Buffalo river and sheer rock formation. Unfortunately, I was unable to stay due to weather forecast of severe weather and tornado concerns. I will definitely stay here in the future.

@JoshRB8196AEE7 · Camped on Apr 7, 2024 at Campsite #31

Great experience.

@GraceW7F9B7FB8 · Camped on Mar 31, 2024 at Campsite #3

Great campground

@MakaylaL8FCDDA · Camped on Mar 21, 2024 at Campsite #4

It was a wonderful camping experience! Great bathroom facilities, a little packed at times but we went on spring break. Camp site #4 was back by the woods and away from other campers, it was great!

@WhitneyH920424 · Camped on Nov 4, 2023 at Campsite #7

Steel Creek never disappoints. We had a great time & the scenery is gorgeous. There were lots of other campers, but the sites are spread out enough you feel like you have plenty of personal space. The bathrooms were still open for the season & were clean & stocked with toilet paper & soap. The picnic tables were clean & in good shape. We will definitely continue to camp here.

@JoshR1751846 · Camped on Nov 1, 2023 at Campsite #8

Very clean and well kept campsites against the backdrop of Roark Bluff.

@PennyB1610807 · Camped on Oct 19, 2023 at Campsite #4

Beautiful campground, clean bathrooms. Wish there was more reservable sites.

@BarbaraT607139 · Camped on Oct 19, 2023 at Campsite #8

Camping on grass was nice, and the restrooms were clean. But, one camper had a large barking dog that was permitted to bark for 3 days. The sites are very close together and there is no privacy.

@SaraC4030409 · Camped on Oct 17, 2023 at Campsite #3

We didn't actually end up camping at Steel Creek since we have an overland tent (in the back of the truck) and there was no where to park it. With no park rangers to help we went back to Ponca and spoke with the Buffalo Outdoor Center who recommended we try Kyle's Landing. So I paid for camping twice. Kyle's landing was lovely.

@BrianaG8908691 · Camped on Sep 22, 2023 at Campsite #6

We really enjoyed our stay here. Bathrooms are basic with two stalls. Bathrooms were clean.There isnt much of a view from the campsites.No cell service or internet. Lots of good hiking trails nearby. Each campsite by the trees hasan unofficial trail down to the river. The campsites in the trees could have more underbrush cleared out so there is more room for tents etc. There is an official trail to the river for swimming etc.The rangers were very friendly and helpful. Would camp here again.

@JustinR3682506 · Camped on Sep 15, 2023 at Campsite #2

Ranger was extremely helpful while making his morning rounds and campsites were very clean. Had a great hike on the BRT and had multiple sightings of the nearby elk herd. Our kids loved the experience and the night sky was spectacular.

@DaleM7625488 · Camped on Jul 7, 2023 at Campsite #2

Always a beautiful experience.

@BrianR3295011 · Camped on Jun 18, 2023 at Campsite #4

Great stretch of the BRT from Steel Creek to Ponca.

@PatrickT198236 · Camped on Jun 17, 2023 at Campsite #5

We loved it

@MeganH3711255 · Camped on Jun 6, 2023 at Campsite #4

Beautiful secluded campsite right by the Buffalo. Well kept and quiet. Nice to get away from cell phone service and electricity!

@MarionH8C6B12E · Camped on May 29, 2023 at Campsite #2

We had a wonderful time camping at Steel Creek. Being so close to the Buffalo River is such a plus. All the grand kids had lots of fun playing in the river, looking at rocks, and catching tadpoles .

@Mackenzie474B2 · Camped on May 5, 2023 at Campsite #6

Beautiful campground! Mostly clean restrooms and overall great experience

@williams984835 · Camped on May 1, 2023 at Campsite #2

Very nice campground with river access. Restrooms were clean and well maintained.

Beautiful campground by the river and a wonderful time of year to be there. Hostess on site was very friendly and very helpful. We love camping here.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
