Nice to have a gate attendant (at least a few days a week). This campground is great because you can walk down to the water easily with no rip-rap rocks. This site is short but level with a place across from site to park a vehicle. Bathrooms are not air conditioned or heated and a little dirty.

Tenkiller is a beautiful Lake. RV site was all concrete and very nice. If using the campground bathrooms know that you will have to drive to them or climb a steep hill to get to them. The bathroom that had a shower for FEMALE side was closed for warranty parts for over a month. Not acceptable! The other toilets were pit.

IT WAS WORTH THE COST
First: Be prepared for a lot of road traffic. It is a popular launch/takeout location for fishermen. Most fishermen towing boats drive through the campground responsibly, but there is a lot of locals I suspect, cruising the campground and dock areas that do not. The sites are on a hillside so uphill backing is required for most sites. They are concrete and relatively level. The water and electrical hookups were good. I had great AT&T cell service. I didn't use the restrooms or showers, but they were relatively close to the campsites. The dump station left a lot to be desired. It was basically an open septic tank that was really full, with just a chunk of sheet metal and a rock covering the opening, which was about 18-24" x 18-24". The water was located about 25' behind the "black hole" and needed a long hose to connect for flushing. As someone not averse to black tank dumping, this one even grossed me out. My campsite had a great view of the lake with some pretty sunsets and sunrises. The camp host was very nice and helpful and showed me to my campsite when I arrived. This was good, because the sites are not well marked. The biggest downside was the wind. Very high winds even for Oklahoma.
All in all, it was a very quiet and peaceful week for just relaxing and enjoying watching the many birds frequenting the campground and lakeshore.
