Camping at Elk Creek Landing near Gore

Public campground · Gore · 30 campsites

A forested campground near trout fishing. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

The lake is the draw here: clear visibility makes Tenkiller a favorite for scuba divers, and anglers chase black bass, white and striped bass, crappie and catfish across its 130 miles of shoreline; the trout stream below the dam is one of only two year-round trout fisheries in Oklahoma and is regularly stocked. Prevailing winds and sheltered coves make parts of the lake friendly to sailors, while other visitors focus on water skiing, swimming, or exploring by rented boat or jet ski from nearby marinas.

“You need 50 amp service it was so hot we couldn’t use 2nd ac and we were miserable. No shade, spots need to be longer. Sewer hook ups would be great and people would pay. ”

D k J 2 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Outstanding experience! We had a men’s fellowship cookout and camping for one night. It was super quiet. The staff was super nice and helped us with everything. ”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (2,964 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
