With two state parks and a host of campgrounds that are privately owned or managed by the U.S. Corps of Engineers, there is room for everyone with a range of facilities from RV hookups to the most primitive settings.
The PARKS have boat ramps, bathrooms equipped with showers, picnic shelters and tables, drinking fountains, swimming areas, playgrounds and grills. GROUP CAMPING AREAS are plentiful, and packages may be arranged by calling any of the state parks or privately-owned businesses. Special programs also are available through Tenkiller State Park’s Nature Center. All LAKE SWIMMING AREAS are protected from boats with buoy safety markers, and most camping grounds are patrolled 24 hours a day by the State Park Rangers, Oklahoma Scenic Rivers Commission Rangers and the Corps of Engineers. There are several FREE PUBLIC ACCESS AREAS along the Upper Illinois River. Campsites for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers parks and recreation areas can be reserved by calling 1-877-444-6777.
