This was our first time at Snake Creek and it was great! The grass was mowed bathrooms were clean and trash was in the bins where it is supposed to be. This will be our place from now on when we take a little get away!

Could not take shower not working. When public pays for a facility they expect it to be in working condition.

First off, we love Snake Creek. Our family has been enjoying this campground for a few years now, meeting up with friends usually to camp for at least a week. We have traditionally been tent campers until this past year when we purchased out first camper, so we have actually been able to camp a few more times this year already more than usual. We had been to Snake Creek in early May for a weekend, it was as usual, a nice, quiet relaxing place to spend time with our kids and enjoy the time together. Our biggest complaint then was that the dumpsters were all packed full to the top.
Skip to our recent trip from Sunday July 5th to Sunday July 12th, upon arriving after the big holiday weekend, the dumpsters again were all full, overflowing, but that was understandable as we know the campgrounds are usually super busy for the 4th, which is why we scheduled our camping trip after that date. We figured the trash would be picked up Monday and all would be good. We were wrong. Each passing day, still no trash pick up, so all we could do was throw our one bag a day on top of the heaped up trash. I got excited on the Friday thinking I heard a large trash truck coming in to finally pick up the trash...instead it was a company delivering a roll off dumpster to begin filling with the trash. By the time we left at 10 am Sunday the 12th, following a week of no trash pick up, I am not sure when the trash (if ever) has been picked up! This was a disgusting sight, drawing many flies to the area, which we have never had an issue with before at this campground. The smell was overwhelming when you neared the dumpsters, as it baked in the 100 degree weather.
Another situation that was a big issue this time around was the facilities. We usually try to utilize the shower houses and bathrooms, most showers were not working, the working ones had waste water flowing on the ground outside the cleanout, smelling of septic. Hope they get these things situated before we try to go again. :(

Honestly, the only thing we enjoyed about our stay, was the volunteer named Kim. It was horribly overgrown, the grass was knee high, and we battled fire ants from day 1, mounds surrounded ours ( and others) site...and most of the rest of the park. We had a full hookup spot and couldn't use the fire pit because it sat sideways in the ground. Eventually, they got larger dumpsters but the first several days, trash was everywhere, because all of the dumpsters were overflowing. The upkeep was absolutely horrible and we have canceled all future reservations.

Love camping at Snake Creek. The gate attendant and other volunteers went above and beyond keeping the campground nice. The restrooms were immaculate.

I would have given 5 stars but we couldn't use the boat ramp/dock- had to use the high water ramp (I understand that was out of your control) I love lake Tenkiller! Dockside Pizza is a must! Tenkiller Thriller water inflatables was fun for the grands.
