Tenkiller State Park is a beautiful camping destination located in Oklahoma. This park is well-known for its stunning surrounding views, which include the clear waters of Lake Tenkiller and the scenic hills that surround it. There are also plenty of nearby points of interest, such as the Cherokee Heritage Center and the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge.

The campground amenities at Tenkiller State Park include RV hookups, showers, restrooms, picnic tables, fire rings, and a playground. There are a total of 39 campsites available for reservation. However, there are also first-come, first-served sites available for those who prefer to be spontaneous.

One quirky fact about the area is that the lake was created in the 1950s when the Army Corps of Engineers dammed the Illinois River. The lake was named after the Tenkiller Ferry, which was the only way to cross the Illinois River before the dam was built.
