About
Chicken Creek Campground sits on Tenkiller Ferry Lake in northeastern Oklahoma's Green Country. Often called "Oklahoma's clear water paradise," the 12,500-acre lake is fed by the Illinois River and Baron Fork, both designated Oklahoma Scenic Rivers. The campground is surrounded by dense oak-hickory forests, tall bluffs, and rolling hills of the Ozark Mountain foothills. The campground features 100 standard electric sites with 30-amp service and water hookups, plus two group shelters. Modern amenities include flush toilets, hot showers in two comfort stations, additional restrooms throughout the grounds, and a dump station. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring. Water skiing, boating, fishing, swimming, and scuba diving are popular activities. The lake's clear waters attract divers for excellent visibility, while anglers pursue black bass, white bass, striped bass, crappie, and catfish. The trout stream below Tenkiller Dam is one of only two year-round trout fisheries in Oklahoma. A boat ramp complex and swim beach provide direct lake access from the campground.
Directions
From Gore, Oklahoma, go 17.5 miles northeast on Highway 100, turn left and go 1.5 miles northwest on the paved access road. Follow signs into the campground.
