About

Snake Creek Park is one of the most popular campgrounds on Tenkiller Ferry Lake, located in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains in northeastern Oklahoma. The campground offers 111 campsites with electrical hookups, modern facilities including flush toilets and hot showers, and a full range of amenities for family camping. All sites have electric hookups, with most offering 30 amp service and a few providing 50 amp or full hookups. The park features a swim beach, playground, boat ramps, and a dump station, with an adjacent marina offering boat rentals, jet-ski rentals, and a floating restaurant. Tenkiller Ferry Lake is known as Oklahoma's clear water paradise, sourced by the scenic Illinois River and Baron Fork. The 12,500-acre lake features 130 miles of shoreline surrounded by dense oak-hickory forests, tall bluffs, and rolling hills. The lake's clear waters and high visibility make it ideal for scuba diving, while prevailing winds and secluded coves create perfect sailing conditions. Anglers target black bass, white bass, striped bass, crappie, and catfish. The lake area is home to abundant wildlife including deer and turkey, and serves as a flyway for migratory birds such as bald eagles, common loons, and white pelicans.
