Sizemore Landing - Tenkiller Ferry Lake

US Army Corps of Engineers maintains this lakeside campground on Tenkiller Ferry Lake, where one electric site serves as the host location while remaining spots offer primitive camping. The single pit toilet receives infrequent maintenance, and campers should bring their own water and trash removal supplies since these services are not provided.

Access includes boat launch facilities with a covered pavilion and gravel parking area. The $8 nightly fee covers basic amenities like picnic tables and fire rings positioned directly on the water. Cell service varies by location within the campground. For additional options, see campgrounds just outside Park Hill. This first-come, first-served site works best for self-sufficient campers who prioritize waterfront access over full amenities.

Primitive camping near the lake

I ended up stopping here for the night because the corps of engineers close down most of their other campgrounds. This and one other campground are the only 2 for them on the lake that are open after november first. This is a not very well maintained. Campground. One pit toilet, which hasn't been cleaned in forever, and nothing else no water, no trash. There are picnic tables and fire pits, but primitive camping. There is only one site down here that has electric thirty amp and I assume it's for a campground, host the rest of the site are primitive. The current charge to stay for a night is $8, which seems frankly like a lot. Considering how little there is as a service.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Depends on what you want or need in life. The spot can be the ultimate in life or the depths of despair. I believe I see something middle of the road. A pit toilet. Boat launch. Picnic table. Fire ring. No electric. No cell. Right on the water. One family has held their family gathering every year for over 50 years and another family for over 35 years. For them there this campground is the ultimate in happiness. What a wonderful gift. This is FCFS, not ADA This looks like two campsites but is, I believe, one. One end is better maintained. When we were there the gravel road was being worked on. There were a few boats in the water. At the boat launch there is a covered pavilion and a gravel parking lot.
