Pettit Bay — Hotel in Tahlequah

I'm giving 3 stars ONLY because my family had a blast and the camper neighbors we had were fortunately awesome. However, we stayed at CAMP 034. According to Google Maps, (I used this to determine which spot to pick) this spot is the PERFECT SPOT. Directly next to the water, plenty of coverage for shade and neighbors not too close. When we got there, it was a NIGHTMARE. THIS SPOT SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN!! Absolutely NO TRASH CANS! There is drift wood EVERYWHERE and someone tried burning it, got about halfway thru and decided to try burning in a different spot, so these LARGE LOGS OF BURNT DRIFTWOOD IS COVERING THW PLACES TO PUT TENTS! According to the rules, you are allowed to have 3 tents. Welp, we had to borrow spots of each of our neighbors to set up out tents because this spot is not user friendly. Also, there's so much NEW growth, so poison ivy EVERYWHERE IN THIS SPOT. DONT GET IT YAL!! Hopefully, someone who cares will read this LONG review and go check out what I'm talking about and fix it or close it down...

We had gone to another park to visit friends and got back after 10pm. The gate was locked! Causing us to walk through pitch black darkness about 1/2 mile to our site and leave our truck parked outside the gate. I understand the reason why but come on. My curfew even at 16 was midnight. 10pm is a...

My son and I don’t have the luxury of a well build camper but what we do have fit well for ourself and our three big dogs. Power was available in both camper and the normal everyday plug we all use at home. My camper is a converted two horse trailer and it worked like a dream for us. The people at the gate were AWSOME they helped an old soldier save money there with going to the Corps of Engineers and getting my “Access Pass” card for disabled vets. It’s a national card so make sure you habit...
