Tips for Snagging a Campsite Reservation

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.
