Camp Redlands, owned and operated by Oklahoma State University, is a historic retreat facility on Lake Carl Blackwell's north shore. It was established during the Oklahoma Land Run in 1889 and later housed workers and their families who were helping build the lake. In the 1950s, the state gave Camp Redlands to then Oklahoma Agriculture and Mechanical College. The buildings were constructed in the 1930s as part of a WPA project. The camp initially consisted of 12 frame cabins, a lodge, a wellhouse and a cook's cabin, many of which still stand today.
