Best time to visit Osage Hills State Park
Spring (April through early June) and fall (late September through October) are the best times to visit Osage Hills State Park, with mild daytime temperatures, fewer biting insects, and excellent conditions for hiking and camping. Summer brings hot, humid weather and thunderstorms typical of northeastern Oklahoma, so RVers should plan for afternoon shade and electric hookups for air conditioning.

How to get to Osage Hills State Park
The park sits along US Highway 60, about 11 miles west of Bartlesville, Oklahoma (roughly 20 minutes) and about 15 miles east of Pawhuska. Tulsa is the nearest major city, approximately 50 miles south via US-75 and US-60, a drive of about one hour. The nearest commercial airport for fly-and-rent trips is Tulsa International Airport (TUL). Roads into the park are paved but include some narrow, winding sections with grades as they descend toward Sand Creek, so drivers of larger rigs should take interior park roads slowly and watch for low-hanging branches.
