Pettit Bay is a wonderful campground for families. I feel comfortable letting my kids ride their bikes and play in the camp next to us. Clean restrooms and site! Of note, the water pressure is insane so make sure you have a regulator for your hose!

The whole park was very overgrown. We had to mow our spot after we set up. Love this place but it feels like they’re letting it go

The grass was tall. The picnic table and slab was broken. It says flushing toilet by the camping spot but it was a vault toilet. The flaying toilet it up further. The bathroom/showers needed a deep cleaning and needed serious maintenance. You could hear the karaoke from the bar from 9-12am. But the actual campsites were quiet. The lady at the check in was nice.

Pettit Bay is our favorite place to camp on Lake Tenkiller. The marina is on site as well as Dock Side Pizza, Piddles Restaurant and just a few miles from the Barn convenient store. The camp host, Tammy, is the Best!

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
