Snake Creek

We really enjoyed this campground. Lots of room to roam, Plenty of access to the water for boats (multiple ramps) or wading/swimming. Plenty of sites to choose from some shaded, some by the water.  A few full hookups but not many. Most spots are just electric and water. Clean restrooms/showers. One newer area of the campground has new private shower rooms. We have been back a couple of times with all the kids and grandkids. Overall a nice corp of engineers park.

Closed due to tornado damage, under renovation

Great shoreline sites. Showers are clean. Swim area and three boat ramps.

Campground has no shade, some sites close together, some sites along the water (the rest aren’t that far). Boating, fishing, and hiking, with towns nearby. Hikes are surprisingly lovely through the woods and along cliffs. Some go cliff jumping but we just swam. Relatively peaceful though popular, not sure if you’ll need reservations. Not too far from Tenkiller State Park and a number of other parks plus a lot of Native American history.

Located in the foothills of the Ozarks in eastern Oklahoma on crystal clear Tenkiller Lake, a COE project from the mid 1950’s on the Illinois River. We stayed on site 18 which is gravel W/E (50A). There are about 110 wooded sites here with either gravel, paved or concrete sites. Most sites are W/E 30A (only five 50A which are all first come first serve). Some are FHU 30A. There are a total of 44 first come first serve sites. There is a swim area and two boat ramps. Also there is a separate Snake Creek Cove Marina. Practically zero Verizon reception which meant no internet or phone.

This is a nice campground. I stayed there for 1 week. The campground is run by the Corps Of Engineers. It is well maintained and has a gate that is locked at night. There is RV camping and tent camping. Across from the pavilion in the tent area are trails through the woods that lead to the Cliff's and rock ledges. The water is deep, clear and cool. We like to dive from the Cliff's and swim from the rock ledges. There is a dock, boat ramp, swimming area and 2 bathrooms with showers. The deer roam around in the evening. I really like this campground it is not as busy as some of the other campgrounds on Tenkiller lake.
