Sardis Lake is located five miles north of Clayton, Oklahoma, along Oklahoma Highway 2 in beautiful southeastern Oklahoma. The lake covers 14,360 acres, with 117 miles of shoreline, and offers many opportunities for every diversification of outdoor recreation. There are three campgrounds located around the lake offering various facilities including general hookups, restrooms, showering facilities, swim beach and fishing docks. The lake also has facilities for group camping and picnic shelters equipped with tables, electricity and large outdoor cooking grills. Although Sardis Lake is known for producing several of Oklahoma's largest bass, the lake also provides fishermen excellent opportunities to catch crappie, catfish, and walleye.

Best season: summer. Summer is the best time to visit Potato Hills South because Sardis Lake is warm and ideal for boating, swimming, and fishing — peak lake recreation runs from June through August. Expect daytime highs in the mid-80s to mid-90s°F and nighttime lows in the mid-60s to mid-70s, with humid conditions and a chance of afternoon thunderstorms; plan early-morning or late-afternoon lake sessions. Weekends are busiest (boat ramps and lakeshore sites fill quickly), but long sunny days make summer the top fit Peak months: June, September, May, October Avoid: November, December, January, February
