Blue Bill Point

Overview

Blue Bill Point is located on the banks of Flat Rock Bay on tranquil Fort Gibson Lake in northeastern Oklahoma. Blue Bill is a peaceful campground popular with family groups and retirees. The gradual sloping shoreline offers easy access to the water for fishing, swimming and mooring boats. This protected shallow cove is an ideal location for kayaks and canoes.

Recreation

The nearly 20,000-acre lake offers excellent boating and swimming opportunities. Anglers enjoy fishing for black bass, white bass, crappie and several varieties of catfish and panfish. The lake's 225 miles of shoreline and thousands of acres of public hunting lands are abundant with wildlife.

Facilities

This seasonal campground offers 40 family sites and one group day-use picnic shelter, all with electric hookups. Three additional primitive sites without hookups are available. The campground is open 9 months out of the year, March 1 - November 30. Amenities include flush and pit toilets, drinking water, showers, a dump station, 2 boat ramps and courtesy dock.

Natural Features

Blue Bill Point is surrounded by a mixed hardwood forest. A small fishing pond is located a short distance outside the campground. Cultivated fields offer an opportunity to view wildlife as they graze or cross these open areas.

Nearby Attractions
