Campgrounds near Cherry Tree, Oklahoma
Cherry Tree sits in eastern Oklahoma's Cookson Hills, on the east side of Lake Tenkiller, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir on the Illinois River. The lake is the region's main draw for RV travelers. There are 10 marinas and over 20 launching ramps here, and camping is big on Tenkiller with 14 campgrounds operated by the Corps, State of Oklahoma, and concessionaires.
Within a short drive of Cherry Tree, RV travelers can choose between Corps of Engineers parks, Oklahoma state parks, and privately run resorts. Crystal Creeks RV Park and Tenkiller Skies are nearby private options, while Sixshooter Marina & Cabins and Cookson Bend Resort and Marina combine campsites with lake access. Cherokee Landing State Park sits comfortably at the north end of Lake Tenkiller, on a peninsula in the Cookson Hills, just south of Tahlequah.
This area, known as Green Country, is surrounded by dense oak-hickory forests, tall bluffs, and rolling hills, and the lake has 130 miles of shoreline with plenty of wildlife such as deer and turkey. Sites range from primitive tent pads to full-hookup RV pads suitable for larger rigs.
Things to do around Cherry Tree
Water recreation drives most trips. Lake Tenkiller is a haven for all water sports including water skiing, fishing, boating, tubing and scuba diving. The lake is considered one of the best places in the state for scuba diving, and Tenkiller Scuba Park features a sunken airplane fuselage, school bus, helicopter, and two boats to explore underwater. Anglers target crappie, large and smallmouth bass, catfish and white bass from shore or boat.
On land, families can hike short nature trails, use disc golf courses, and visit swim beaches. Cherokee Landing has an outdoor volleyball court and a thoughtfully laid out 9-hole disc golf course. Cookson Bend Resort and Marina and Sixshooter Marina & Cabins offer easy boat launch access, and Tenkiller Skies and Crystal Creeks RV Park work well as quieter home bases. Day trips north to Tahlequah add Cherokee cultural sites and Illinois River float trips.

Peak camping runs from spring through early fall. Most campgrounds operate year-round, with reservations recommended from spring through early fall. Late spring brings the highest rainfall and severe-thunderstorm risk, and eastern Oklahoma sits in a tornado-prone corridor, so travelers should monitor NWS Tulsa forecasts. Expect heavy rainfall in May, with an average of 165 mm of precipitation over 12 rainy days.
Summer is hot and humid, with peak lake use for swimming, boating, and scuba diving. Water levels are generally stable in summer, though sections of some parks can flood in high water. At Cherokee Landing, the south end of the park can be subject to flooding during high water events, so RV camping is relegated to the north end of the park.
Fall offers cooler temperatures, lighter crowds, and strong bass fishing. Winter is quieter but usable. Many state park sites remain open year-round, and the tailwater below Tenkiller Dam is one of the state's few year-round trout fisheries and is regularly stocked with rainbow trout.
How to book campgrounds near Cherry Tree
Corps of Engineers sites at Tenkiller Ferry Lake are booked through Recreation.gov.

What to expect on-site
Facilities vary widely. Types of camping range from primitive to full hookup and are pretty evenly spread out from one end of the lake to the other, and another outdoor activity in the lake area is to hike one or more of the three nature trails, which vary in length from 1 1/4 miles to over 2 miles.

At Cherokee Landing, RV sites feature electric and water and can accommodate rigs up to 40 feet long, and the park also has a dump station, rentable shelters and group RV camp. Cell coverage is uneven in the hills, and sites near main highways can pick up road noise. Bring bug spray, a shade solution for treeless pads, and a NOAA weather radio.
