Sizemore Landing - Tenkiller Ferry Lake

Morning light filters through tall oaks as the quiet hum of Tenkiller Ferry Lake laps against the shoreline at Sizemore Landing. A gentle breeze stirs the leaves, carrying the scent of pine and fresh water. The gravel crunches softly under tires as rigs arrive, settling into spots where the only sounds are birdsong and the occasional splash of a fish breaking the lake’s surface. The absence of electric hum and running water strips away distractions, drawing campers into the calm rhythm of lakeside life.

Days here unfold along the water’s edge, where anglers cast lines from the launch ramp or shore, chasing bass and crappie beneath the rippling waves. The lake’s wide expanse stretches toward the horizon, inviting boaters to explore quiet coves and sandy beaches. Nearby, trails weave through hardwood forests on S Sizemore Road, offering shaded walks with glimpses of deer or herons. The small town of Park Hill rests a few miles away, a quiet spot to gather supplies or stretch legs before returning to the peaceful embrace of the campground.

Sizemore Landing’s primitive setup means campers carry their own water and power, but that simplicity sharpens the senses instead of dulling them. Campsites spread out with room to breathe, each offering privacy beneath the canopy. The boat launch is well-maintained and busy during daylight hours, a hub for families and fishermen alike. Night falls with clear skies and minimal artificial light, leaving stars to blaze overhead and fireflies to dance in the dark. Though restrooms show signs of heavy use, the sense of safety and care from fellow campers and staff keeps the atmosphere welcoming and secure for families with children.

At Sizemore Landing, the world narrows to the gentle ripple of lake water and the rustle of leaves. Here, the clutter of everyday life fades, replaced by the steady pulse of nature and the simple joys of fishing, boating, and quiet reflection. This is a place campers return to for its steady calm and easy connection to the water’s edge.
