Camp at an animal lovers paradise! Gates Nature Preserve allows you to pitch your tent beside a petting zoo. Meet exotic reptiles and farm animals while spending a night in the forest of Eastern Oklahoma.
When you're not playing with animals, Gates Nature Preserve is an outlet to the outdoors! This campsite sits beside the Tenkiller Ferry Lake which is great for water sports and only 5 miles from Tenkiller State Park. It is also less than 7 miles from Greenleaf state park which gives you access to the Arkansas River, Webber Falls Reservoir and Greenleaf Lake.
This campsite is equipped with picnic tables, a fire pit, and a bathhouse with potable water and showers. Bring your own tent, food, and firewood.
Great experience! Nice service! The petting zoo is great for little kids and even teens!
Best private campground I’ve ever stayed at! The owners were super cool and beyond accommodating. Showers and kitchen on site.
I stayed here for my birthday last summer with some friends and had the best time! Beautiful scenery, trash cans on site, and Jill was amazingly accomdating. She brought us firewood and even let us use her fishing poles and gave us bait! 12/10 best campground
