Best RV Parks & Resorts near Tenkiller Ferry Lake, OK

My friend and I arrived late at night - around ten pm - and even then the camp host came around to kindly make sure we had our reservation, which made us glad to know the place was secure. In the morning we saw the whole campground was quite small, although all situated right along the river, which was lovely. There was one area for RVs, and another for tents. When we visited there was a handful of other family campers so that the place felt safe but by no means crowded. Although we didn’t find any hiking trails or swimming access (maybe some we don’t know about?), the boat ramp was right inside camp, with good parking as well. There are bathrooms / showers on site, and many spots for RV hookups. The whole place was shrouded in big, healthy trees (with good space to run around or hammock), and hugged by farmland. This would be the ideal place for a quiet weekend getaway for anyone with any kind of boat from motor to paddle. Five stars for achieving all they advertise

Pros: Full hookup (sewer, water, 50 AMP) Pull thru site Level site Picnic table on-site Outdoor Pool Shady Petting zoo

Cons: Dirt site

We stayed there in November of 2020. We had the place to ourselves and it was really nice. Unfortunately, we were told that we had full hook up and showers but there was nothing available, but we made the best of it. It’s a beautiful campground near a huge body of water with lots of trees and areas to have cookouts. Would love to try again when actually open.

We didn't know what to expect. This place has absolutely everything you could need. Full Hookups, level sites (mostly gravel but level), shop with souvenirs and RV gadgets. The office also has a gameroom, pantry, and propane. We didn't get to use the playground area this visit as pool and hot tub were closed for the year. They also have normal cabin rental and tiny home rentals that were perfectly positioned around campground and fishing pond. My only complaint would be that the sites are really compact. Plenty of room for your RV but so close that you can hear and smell your neighbors. Nearby Walmart and restaurants were handy.

I currently stayed at Crossroads RV Park and I have to say it was one of the best tenting experiences I've had in a long time! The park is well-maintained and the sites are spacious and clean. 

I specifically appreciated the drive-in access, making it easy to park proper next to my site. One of the things I loved about this campground is that it offers both tent sites and RV sites, making it accessible for all types of campers. 

The electric and water hookups were reliable and the sewer hookups made it easy to take care of waste disposal. Plus, the pull-through sites and big rig friendly features were a definite bonus for those with larger vehicles. 

The amenities at Crossroads RV Park were also great. The toilets were well-maintained and easily accessible, and there was even WiFi available(although the strength varied). I was pleasantly surprised to find that my Verizon and AT&T signals worked well at the park too. Lastly, I have to mention the friendly and helpful staff. 

They were always available to answer questions and provide assistance when needed. Overall, I would highly recommend Crossroads RV Park to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable camping experience. 

It's a wonderful place to stay, with a great location and fantastic amenities. I definitely recommend visit this park! 

5 stars all around!

We stayed one night in November. Easy on/off, though the service road isn’t in good shape. We were in site 13, closest to the highway along with two cabins and the playground. Extremely noisy so if traffic bothers you request a site towards the back. Lots of trees. Our site was also close to the toilets and showers which were very clean. Shower stalls are private with a door and a curtain but the stalls are very shallow. Don’t leave anything on the floor in the outer area or it will get wet. There is a very shallow bench to put your items on but not meant for sitting. Two hooks to hang your items which is appreciated. No lock on the bathroom door. Pull through 50 amp. We’re towing a 28ft Airstream and it was level enough we didn’t need to unhitch. Listed as a gravel site but more dirt than gravel. Full hook ups, no cable, limited wifi. $44.50 a night. The swing in the playground desperately needs some WD-40, lol. We would overnight here again if needed.

I called ahead to reserve a site at Eagles Bluff Resort on the Illinois River in Tahlequah, Ok. Off Rt10 surrounded by several other resorts is was pretty easy to find. The area is obviously river based recreation and very busy at peak season. We arrived in the middle of October and all the other resorts appeared to be closed for the winter. 

Eagles Bluff was holding out for one last HURRAH! named the "The Pumpkin Holler Hunnerd" a 100 mile, 100K, 50K, 25K and 10 mile dirt trail race. 

We arrived late (1930ish) but there was still someone at the gate who gave us a map of the campground and even directions to our site. Needless to say we easily got lost in the dark through no fault of the attendant. ( I'm sure when we drove back by 15 minutes later he was shaking his head at the two women and five dogs wandering through the campsite) 

I did not get a choice of site other than full hook up, electric or primitive. (Which cost a 1/2 star) We were in the middle full hook up site F16, of the middle aisle of three. Had the park been at capacity there would have been room for our camper, vehicle and a strip of grass with picnic table and fire ring. The neighbors would be easily seen all around( 1 full star subtraction!) Being crammed in like sardines so the Resort can make a buck is not cool. 

There were primitive sites right on the river with nice views but no direct access to the water behind the showerhouse . There were three aisles of tent sites packed on top of one another, with water access nearby. You would be hard pressed to fit your vehicle, watercraft and tent/hammock in your area and you would get to know your neighbors well.

There were other electric sites closer to the water, in the trees with direct water access within walking/carrying distance for water craft. But when we had a "monsoon" the night after the start of the race that entire area was flooded. 

The next morning there were several areas sitting in large puddles throughout the resort. (Another 1/2 star gone)

The showerhouse was a little creepy and not well maintained. No hot water, it may have been off due to end of season BUT I paid full price and expect full service. The collection of webs and insects in the vaulted ceilings made me hesitant to shower. I have no issues with bugs in general I am just aware of people getting bitten or stung by resident spiders or flying insects in such structures. Then there was the restroom area with wooden brown smeared doors ( I told myself it was mud) that did not lock.....(another star)

IF the resort did some maintenance and a few upgrades it could easily be a 5 star rating but I got the feel that they were happy as they were and the visitors willing to over look the few flaws and get on with having fun. SOOOOO pack your Lysol , use your own facilities and enjoy the river .

Tenkiller Ferry Lake is often referred to as "Oklahoma's clear water paradise." The 12,500 acre lake is fed by the Illinois River and the Baron Fork . It is nestled in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains in the northeastern part of the state. This area, known as Green Country, is surrounded by dense oak-hickory forests, tall bluffs, and rolling hills. The lake has 130 miles of shoreline with plenty of wildlife such as deer and turkey. It serves as one of the flyways of migratory birds, including bald eagles, common loons, and white pelicans.

Water skiing, boating, fishing, hiking, and swimming and even sailing.  Scuba divers enjoy the lake's high visibility and the beautiful clear waters.  Fish for black bass, white bass, striped bass, crappie and catfish. The trout stream below the dam is one of only two year-round trout fisheries in Oklahoma, and is regularly stocked with rainbow trout. Hunting is also permitted in parts of the lake area, in accordance with federal and state laws.
