Carson Creek Campground — Beavers Bend State Park

2 ReviewsAdd Review

Within Hochatown State Park, Carson Creek Campground provides boat-in access to Broken Bow Lake with full RV hookups. The campground divides into three sections: Quail and Turkey areas accommodate RVs with electric, water, and sewer connections, while Hawk serves primitive campers. Sites operate on a first-come basis rather than reservations.

Direct water access allows fishing and swimming from the shoreline, with space to launch small watercraft. Standard amenities include fire rings, picnic tables, restrooms, and showers. The location sits removed from main state park access points, creating less crowded conditions than busier lake areas. Campgrounds near Hochatown State Park provide additional options for visitors exploring the region's lake recreation opportunities.

Great Water Access Points & Nearby Community Fun

Many flock to Broken Bow for their cabins and beautiful outdoor spaces.   What better way to take advantage of those spaces than with a trip to Carson Creek!!   

Carson Creek is a bit removed from the State Park access points and with that comes a unique charm which is fun for the family without quite the large crowds which sometimes can bottleneck into the State Parks.    

There are three camping areas at Carson Creek, referred to as Quail, Turkey and Hawk.   Both Quail and Turkey allow you to set up in an RV for $16 while Hawk is designed for primitive camping and is only $8. The sites cannot be reserved so much like other portions of the lake I do recommend arriving early on weekends during warmer months.  

The camp offers great amenities for those camping here including standards such as fire rings and picnic tables and access to restrooms.    Additionally they do have community style events at the campground which are nice for those visiting.

My favorite point of this campground was the access to the water.   From the shore you can easily fish, swim or put a small boat in the water to explore.    

The town of Hoochatown is just a short drive from this campsite and has everything you will need for supplies as well as some very fun and unique attractions to even further your experience.   I spent an entire afternoon at the Hoochatown Petting Zoo enjoying the wildlife which includes a variety of species you won't find just everywhere.     

A great way to spend a day, a weekend of a week away with a bit less crowds.
