I just got an answer back from the COE this morning. The waterborne restrooms and showers at Afton Landing were torn down due to poor condition and the COE has requested funds to rebuild them but it has not been approved yet.

The 14 day rule is waived from October to April for all COE campgrounds on the Navigation Channel and Lake Fort Gibson campsites that remain open all winter. That means you can just move in and live there for 7 months of the year. The COE said that most of the people living at Bluff and Afton work in Tulsa. With winter rates in effect that means they get a camp site, electric, water, showers, for half the year at half price. Where else can you live with all utilities and rent for $8 or $9 dollars a day. Then the rest of the year they can stay for 14 days and get another 14 day extension and only have to move once a month.

These Squatters take over all the good campsites for most of the year. The weekend and recreational camper gets screwed. Not so much a problem for parks on the National Reservation System with gate shacks and attendants but these parks are all first come, first served and most don't have gates or attendants for most if not all of the year. The next time you drive over to one of these parks to camp and all the decent sites are occupied it is probably by a squatter and not a fellow recreational camper.
