Tenkiller
State Park
|
Vian,
OK
|
|
Tenkiller State Park has a well deserved nickname of "Heaven in the Hills." Crystal-clear water draws water-sport lovers, fishermen, and even scuba divers to this lake surrounded by majestic tall trees high above in the Cookson Hills. |

Blue
Jay Knob Campground - This was the campground of choice
for my stay. It's 3 miles from the visitor's center down a winding
road with top speeds of 25 mph, but it was definitely worth the
trip to arrive home to such views. The best spot in my opinion was
#136 - a massive site with serene surroundings.
|
||||||
|
||||||
|
I
was here the week before the Labor Day holiday, so I had this entire
loop all to myself - well except for the deer, who were more than
welcome neighbors! There are 23 sites here with water and 30 amp
electric - the yellow poles of the dump station are seen here behind
the deer's site of choice.

Shady
Grove Campground - Down the road from Blue Jay Knob, I really
loved this peaceful area, too, and each of the 11 sites here offer
full hookups. But the heavy tree cover would have prevented satellite
TV and didn't get as good reception for my cell phone and air card.
I met two very nice couples camped here, though - one a fellow Texan!

This
is a view from a bottom loop at Shady Grove where no RVs can fit.
There are two islands visible from here, so don't miss this nice
little picnic spot.

Fox
Squirrel Campground - This park is located closest to the
entrance and visitor center, so if you want the easiest access,
this is it. There are 26 full hookup sites here, but they are closer
together and a bit more "sterile" than the above two campgrounds.
|
||||||
|
||||||
|
Only
two sites here have 50 amp service - sites # 70 & # 72.
|
||||||
|
Flying
Squirrel Campground is located off of this loop and is basically
an overflow area for crowded times. There are 27 sites with 30 amp
electric at the sites - water is available at a couple of communal
places, but not individually. There are no tables or grills at the
sites, either. See Park
Map for more campground details.

The
same amenities I enjoyed about Greenleaf
State Park are also present here and I can see how this would
make a great group camping destination, also. Sales Manager Diane
Rutland can help you out here, also - she can be contacted at 918-487-5622.
