The Beaver's Bend State Park is within minutes, as it the Broken Bow Lake.

We love the nature, the water, animals, and sunshine. We even love the rain! Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Our little piece of Heaven on Earth. We are also close to all of the Hochatown events, eateries, wineries, & breweries. You can go golfing, swimming, get lost in a "secret room" or get a massage, within a 5 minute drive of our location.

The best camping near Beavers Bend State Park guide

Overview

About

From the rocky gorges and waterfalls of the Mountain Fork River to the wooded banks of Broken Bow Lake—Beavers Bend State Park was made for adventures. Take to the water to raft or kayak down gentle rapids, fish for trout along the creeks, or enjoy water skiing or paddleboarding on the lake. Tee off at the 18-hole golf course, hike the challenging Skyline Trail, or enjoy a horseback ride along shaded forest trails. There’s even a scenic train ride, mini-golf course, and zipline tours. Campers have the choice of eight campgrounds, plus modern or rustic cabins and group camps. 

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for tent campers: Hickory Campground has wooded tent sites right by the riverside, with pit toilets and a comfort station nearby.
  • Best for families: Fern Campground has riverfront RV sites with a playground, comfort station, and direct access to the entertainment area.
  • Best for RVs: Cypress Campground has well-shaded sites with electric and full hookups available.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. You can reserve one of the 393 RV sites, 50+ tent sites, and 47 cabins at Beavers Bend’s eight campgrounds online. All campsites must be booked in advance. 
  2. Campsite reservations open 11 months in advance and can be booked up to the day before arrival.
  3. Campsites can book up as fast, especially on summer and holiday weekends. Book a minimum of six months in advance to avoid disappointment. 

When to go

Summertime brings the crowds to Beavers Bend State Park, and advance bookings are essential for campsites and activities, especially on weekends. To escape the crowds, opt for a late fall visit—not only will you get to see the fall foliage, but you might snag a great deal on a cabin. Annual events, including the Owa Chito Festival of the Forest (June) and Beavers Bend Folk Festival (November), are also popular times to visit.
