Best Cabin Camping near Arthur City, TX

Several state parks and private campgrounds within driving distance of Arthur City, Texas offer furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities. Hugo Lake Park in Oklahoma provides both resort-style and primitive cabins, with 16 resort cabins featuring two bedrooms, full bathrooms, kitchens, and lake-view porches. McGee Creek State Park Campground maintains eight historic camping huts built in the 1940s, equipped with bunk beds, heat and air conditioning, fireplaces, and screened porches overlooking the lake. "The huts have a set of bunk beds, picnic table, heat and air, fireplace, barbecue grill," notes reviewer Melanie W. "Basically this is camping with the luxury of having a roof over your head with the comfort of heat and air without bugs bitting." Beavers Bend State Park Campground offers clean cabins with updated bathrooms and adequate kitchens, plus outdoor fire rings and grills.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location and price point. At K River Campground, visitors describe the cabins as "adorable" with access to a community kitchen that all guests can use. Liberty Grove Campground at Cooper Lake State Park features cottages with heating and air conditioning, while Hidden Grove RV Resort provides cabin options with paved patios. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months and holiday weekends. At Beavers Bend State Park, a two-night minimum stay is required on weekends during peak season, extending to three nights for holiday weekends. Pet policies vary by location, with many parks allowing pets in cabins for an additional fee. According to one reviewer, "The cabins here are small and cozy but they are very well kept up."

Most cabin rentals include basic furniture and climate control systems but require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, and toiletries. The McGee Creek State Park huts do not include refrigerators or cooking stoves, prompting longer-stay visitors to bring mini-fridges and portable burners. Kitchenware and cooking supplies are typically limited, so packing essential cookware is recommended. While some resort-style cabins include full kitchens with basic equipment, rustic options may only offer outdoor cooking facilities. Nearby towns provide grocery and supply options, though selection can be limited. For winter stays, extra blankets are advisable as nighttime temperatures can drop significantly. Firewood is available for purchase at most parks, either from camp stores or through honor-system stations, with McGee Creek offering bundles at "10 logs for $5."

    Tiny Town Oklahoma

    Centralized Cabins, Tent & RV Camping

    When searching for a unique camping experience you might check out something a little bit outside of the box. Offering tent sites and RV sites Tiny Town might seem normal on paper but when you were arrive they have a lot of options which might be considered a little bit different. 

    I pulled into Tiny Town I noticed right away the unique experience which they offer. Though RVs were parked in the front and on the right I noticed a community of tiny homes just beyond the bounds. Many tiny homes were under construction however a few options were already up and running in a variety of floor plans ideal for any traveler visiting the area. 

    The property it’s self is small but does offer a few amenities including a restroom and laundry as well as a small play facility. The big draw to this area is the quick and easy access to beavers Bend State Park and other attractions around the Broken Bow area. 

    The offering of cabin rentals varies from humble three person dwellings all the way up to a 20 person“Deck-A-Saurus”. Cabins are all equipped with standard furniture including couches and beds, making it ideal for those who just want to pullin and immediately jump into comfort. The RV area it’s self accommodate 17 spaces in three various sizes. Each side includes full hook ups, and barbecue pits. The larger areas have private fire pits as well as picnic tables. 

    When I visited I noticed that the area was a little void of large trees. However the area is currently working to re-landscape and provide better shade accommodations along the perimeter’s which would be very beneficial to tent campers. While they do not market the smaller sites as tent only facilities I did notice there were several people staying in vans or tents in these sites along the outer border. 

    The facility itself is very clean and well-maintained. You can really tell there is attention to detail at this location and that as it continues to grow and be developed that this will be a continued point of interest. 

    Standard nightly rates run between $30 and $45 depending on the site for RV or tent camping. They do also offer both weekly and monthly rates but do impose strict guidelines for those who are staying long-term to keep the facility clean and not looking unkept. 

    The Broken Bow Area offers beautiful unique attractions. If you like fishing, hiking,canoeing or trying something a little new this area is perfect. This park offers easy access to not only the outdoor features but also the nice Intown features such as restaurants making it a perfect place to stop if you’re in the area.

    The only downside I could see to this campsite is that it is not as remote as some.    While it does provide great amenities and access points to everything around with easy pull ins for RV traffic, it does lack that in the woods feel that many other campsites provide.   You will be a little close to your neighbors here.

    McGee Creek State Park Campground

    Short drive from the city and escape

    We met the camp host who assisted us in finding our spot. We had a site far from anyone else and had a lakeside camp spot. This made our site feel huge. My favorite moment was when I was able to strip bare in the moonlight and dance on the shore. It feels very private & peaceful

    The sites themselves were awesome. We opted for a site with electricity and our site had a newly built & paved platform/deck with the picnic table, grill, and light hook. The camp host suggested we pop our tent on the pavement but we found a suitable spot so we could stake our tent in.

    The bathroom were clean and easily accessible though depending on where your site is you may end up wanting to drive to the bathroom. Lol

    I almost for got to tell you that there are cabins here. Very basic simple structures with bunk beds, a table inside, a fireplace, & screened in porch. On our way out of the campgrounds we drove by to take a peak & saw a ranger there who allowed us to pop in to see. She recommended a visit to McGee Creek during winter. Less visited & they get snow. How peaceful!

    McGee Creek State Park Campground

    Hidden Gem

    McGee creek State Park is a beautiful state Park. It has beautiful campsites nestled along the lake shore. Their campsites can accommodate big RVS. The lake is beautiful. The fishing is great from boat, shore or covered fishing dock. I love swimming and kayaking in the cool water. They also have campgrounds for people with horse. The lake is surrounded by the kiamiche mountains. There is no lights around the lake except at the park. Star gazing is amazing. The lake has 2 dams. The park has beautiful hiking trails going through the Pines. If you like to hike you can choose the type of hiking you want to do from just a few minutes hike or carry gear for camping in the forest. You have to sign in when you go hiking back country. I went hiking in the winter and because I took a trail that was new to me I was 5 minutes late getting back to the Ranger Station and when I came out of the Forrest their was a search team assembling. Very embarrassed but it felt good to know if I had been lost or injured they would have found me. The state Park also have 8 camping huts that are air condition and heated that have a fireplace, screened in porch that you can relax and look out over the lake. They are nestled in the Pines along the shore at Potapo Hill.They are unique. They were built back in the 40s I believe by WPA. The huts have a set of bunk beds, picnic table, heat and air, fireplace, fireplace, barbecue grill. The huts do not have bathrooms in each hut but have shared bathrooms outside that are clean and kept up. The huts are not equipped with refrigerator, cook stove or bed linens. So if I'm going for a few days or longer I take a mini fridge, hot burners for cooking. Basically this is camping with the luxury of having a roof over your head with the comfort of heat and air without bugs bitting. The huts have plenty of room for 2 queen size air up mattresses. They also give good discount for vets, military and disabled.

    Hugo Lake Park

    Cabin rental

    We rented a resort cabin for a night in May of 2020. We opted for one of their 16 “resort” cabins. These cabins have 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom and kitchen and a nice porch overlooking the lake. The cabin was pretty nice compared to most state park cabins but it definitely wasn’t resort quality. The TV was super old, there was a hole in the carpet, and water leaked in from the front door all over the living room floor. (However, it was raining super hard that day). They also have 10 primitive cabins. 7 of which have a full bathroom.

    Before the rain started, we were able to have a picnic at the picnic pavilion near the swim beach. It had good quality tables and a nice grill and was next to a playground.

    We didn’t tent camp or stay in an RV but we drove through some of the campgrounds to check it out. One of the RV areas looked pretty nice with paved pads but the other was a little more rugged with unpaved pads. From what we could tell, the tent area looked decent. Sites were grassy and mowed. But they just had the pit toilets instead of a bathroom with flush toilets and showers.

    We weren’t able to hike any trails due to the rain so I can’t comment on those.

    Overall, it seems like a pretty good state park. Especially if you like the lake activities.

    Beavers Bend State Park Campground

    A well managed park

    We rented a cabin for a couple of nights. The cabin was clean with a great updated bathroom and an adequate kitchen. There was a fire ring, a grill, and a picnic table.

    We took a hike on several beautiful trails and really enjoyed ourselves.

    This is a huge facility that is very well managed.

    McGee Creek State Park Campground

    Private balconies overlooking the lake

    I had never heard of McGee Creek State park but had a blast here last weekend! We stayed right on the water at Potapo Landing. Definitely the nicest campsite I’ve seen. Aside from electricity, water, picnic table, fire pit and grill, each site also had their own deck! We got lucky as our site was not directly next to other campers, however most sites were pretty close together. It seemed like many of the RVs that were parked were there permanently (or at least for a very long time). Every now and then we’d catch a whiff of sewage smell but other than that it was very quiet and peaceful weekend.

    Beavers Bend State Park Campground

    Great camping here!

    This is a family and pet friendly place. There are a ton of spots to choose from (most right off the water). There’s electric and water hook ups if you’re fancy like that as well. It’s a clean, safe place to camp. There’s canoe and kayak rentals, a gift shop and convenient store in case you forget essenctials or run out, but you’re far enough from town to where is quiet and relaxing. As a kid my parents took me here a bunch and I loved it. Never a bad memory. I came back with friends as an adult and it was just as fun. Beautiful place. I definitely recommend staying here. Also, while canoeing, we saw some bald eagles! Not sure how rare it is to see them in the area, but it was a great surprise.

    Beavers Bend State Park Campground

    Ranger Review: Stream2Sea Travel Size At Beavers Bend State Park

    When it comes to Oklahoma one location which continually is brought up is Broken Bow, OK where you can find a great escape from the DFW area or a retreat from your own location which is like no other. Offering a paradise of water activities for summer, cozy cabins for winter and a vast array of amenities for any taste you can find something within this park on pretty much any budget.

    **Campground Review **

    I visited Beavers Bend State Park and took a moment to explore the accommodation options and WOW oh WOW!! From primitive tent locations to full hook ups and cabins outfitted in a variety of styles and sizes there truly is something for everyone at this park. You can find sites located on the waters edge for quick boat launching or further removed for forrest and trail access. 

    During the wet season there is a waterfall which rests at the end of a scenic hike, during summer various locations rent everything from paddle boards to kayaks and there is an abundant supply of fishing equipment which can be found for those wanting to try their hand at fly or rod and reel fishing.

     When I visited mid week during early summer the park was filled with life yet did not seem crowded. A small half way stop where a private owner offers horseback riding, train rides and affordable shopping was buzzing with a filled parking lot. The swimming beach was filled with those wanting to have a little fun in the sun. The visitor center was bustling. Yet even with all these areas seeming very lively, the park itself is large enough where I never felt overwhelmed by the people around me. There were still plenty of quiet moments to be had in areas which seemed very remote, despite being no oh so far away from these populous areas. 

    The real feature of this park is by far the water! If you can follow the water you can see how amazing this area of Oklahoma truly is. Around this area the trees thrive and area green and beautiful. You find that even through the world around this section of land is flat, the world opens up when you arrive and you are met with hills and low laying mountains. It is unique in its location to say the least. I found that the primitive campgrounds as well as improved campgrounds were very shaded and each came equipped with a picnic table, fire ring and lantern hook. The main differences in the sites other than the obvious electricity were in the restrooms. Restrooms near improved campgrounds were much larger and nicer, they included flush toilets and showers unlike the vault style toilets of the primitive sites. 

    When booking online during peak season there is a 2 night minimum required currently on weekends. On holiday weekends during peak season you must reserve for 3 nights when it comes to cabins. For campsites there is no requirement. I did notices however that many of the campsites are on a first come first serve basis and after speaking to several park employees during peak season the grounds fill up quickly as of Thursday evening for the upcoming weekend. You will want to get there as early as possible especially to secure an improved campsite. 

    Prices are very reasonable for tent and RV patrons at only$12 for a primitive site and$20 for an improved location. Pets are allowed in these areas however if you choose to bring your pet to stay in a cabin there is a pet fee.

    **TIPS: **

    • Plan ahead and stop in Broken Bow for supplies. While Hochatown is also close by the prices in that community are much higher than in the main city of Broken Bow. 
    • Take time to stop at the visitor center and nature center area they are worth it because of the rich history of the area which are made visible through the museum.
    •  If you are renting a watercraft check out the stop closest to the swimming beach. They have miniature golf for the family and also the best selection of options including paddle boats, kayaks, canoes and paddle boards.

    **Product Review **

    When checking out new locations many times I get the opportunity thanks to the Dyrt to test out products on my adventures. For this fun filled day in the sun I was able to check out the Stream2Sea Face& Body Sunscreen in the 1 oz Travel Size. 

    This product is perfect for a person on the go and has just enough to reapply several times throughout the day to keep you safe and protected from the UVA and UVB rays. The product itself is mineral based and does not appear sticky or tacky on the skin once applied. Although I will say it does take a little while to fully absorb which can leave you appearing a little more ghostly until it does. With this being said, this also makes it very easy to know where the sunscreen has been applied and where you might have missed a spot. 

    The sunscreen is water-resistant which is perfect for a location such as Beavers Bend State Park where you will likely be in and out of the water in a multitude of ways. The product is unscented so it will not attract mosquitoes. I think this aspect is potentially one of the best qualities of this particular sunscreen because it allows you to have fun and adventure without worrying about the unpleasant feasting which bugs often do when they area attracted to sunscreens which have fruity or floral fragrances. 

    When I wore the product I truly did test it to the max on my fair skin. I reapplied every 80 minutes per instruction and then decided that I would skip my last application to see if it continues to work. I did learn they make these directions for a reason so follow instructions for application and do not miss reapplication times.**TIPS: **

    • Apply before you get in the water by at least 5 minutes to allow your base layer to fully absorb. 
    • Follow the schedule for reapplication relatively close to the 80 minute mark.
    • This is a body and face product and works well on either so do not forget the face!!

    Liberty Grove Campground — Cooper Lake State Park Doctors Creek Unit

    Beautiful Lake and campground.

    We were driving through this part of Texas headed home to Oklahoma and saw the signs and needed to stop for lunch, so we decided to check this place out.This was a really beautiful park with a very nice campground that was really kept up. It had screened shelters, cottages with heat & air, shelters, nice playground, Amphitheatre, volleyball court, boat ramps, picnic areas, hiking & biking trails and a swimming area. The bathrooms and showers were nice and clean. The lake was beautiful and clear. I would absolutely recommend this place and I plan on going to stay there for a week in June.


Guide to Arthur City

Cooper Lake State Park offers several cabin options within a 45-minute drive from Arthur City, Texas. The South Sulphur Unit provides concrete pad sites with wooded surroundings. Winter temperatures drop significantly at night, requiring additional bedding for comfort. Most campgrounds maintain quiet hours after 11 pm, though enforcement varies by location.

What to do

Swimming at designated beaches: Cooper Lake State Park Doctors Creek Unit features a swimming area with steel barriers to block strong winds and waves. "The day use area is OK, the swim area has a huge steel wall to block the wind and waves because they get really strong," notes Dude R. The area includes volleyball courts, playgrounds, and picnic facilities.

Kayaking on rivers and lakes: K River Campground provides direct river access for water activities. "Right next to the river for kayaking, canoeing or just relaxing. Off-road vehicle trails a petting zoo on site," shares Jerry W. The campground rents equipment and offers guided trips during summer months.

Fishing from dedicated piers: Lake Bonham Recreation Area maintains fishing piers with equipment rentals available. "There's a fishing pier and lots of covered tables and grills and it's a nice Sandy Beach," reports Gemma P. The park offers free fishing equipment checkout and no fishing license is required within state park boundaries.

What campers like

Secluded tent sites: McGee Creek State Park features isolated camping areas with limited occupancy. "I stayed at 'tent hill' primitive area. Spot number 3 and it was PERFECT! Wooded area, quiet, peaceful. Trail literally right across from the section," explains Nikki F. These sites provide minimal amenities but maximum privacy.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Beavers Bend State Park Campground offers frequent wildlife encounters, especially during evening hours. "Deer were everywhere in the evening. Def will be back, beavers bend never disappoints!" shares Sherry S. Morning fog across lake areas creates ideal conditions for wildlife photography.

Stargazing conditions: The minimal light pollution around McGee Creek creates exceptional night sky viewing. "There is no lights around the lake except at the park. Star gazing is amazing," reports a camper. Sites farther from main facilities provide the darkest skies for astronomy enthusiasts.

What you should know

Limited cell coverage: Connectivity varies widely between campgrounds. "[AT&T] coverage was pitiful, with only 1 bar of LTE service and speeds up to 0.1 MB/s," notes Ray & Terri F. at Bright Star Campground. Download maps and important information before arrival.

Reservation requirements: Most cabin accommodations require advance booking, especially during holiday periods. Weekends often have minimum stay requirements of 2-3 nights, with holiday weekends requiring longer commitments. Peak seasons run from May through September.

Pest awareness: Some campgrounds report insect issues during warmer months. "I noticed within a few hours of setting up camp that roaches started invading my gear. By the end of my second night, I saw more than 10 roaches in various spots," cautions Rob W. about Hugo Lake Park. Sealed containers for food storage are essential during summer camping.

Tips for camping with families

Playground accessibility: Multiple campgrounds feature child-friendly recreation areas. "There is a play ground, pavilion, swim beach, and fishing docks," reports Jon B. about McGee Creek State Park Campground. These areas provide supervised recreation options between hiking and water activities.

Safety considerations: Hugo Lake Park maintains patrols throughout camping areas. "The rangers drove through the park regularly," notes Rob W. Parents should still supervise children near water areas and establish clear boundaries around campsites.

Educational opportunities: Cooper Lake State Park offers junior ranger programs during summer months. Rangers provide guided nature walks identifying local plants and wildlife. Evening programs at amphitheaters cover regional history and conservation topics suitable for all ages.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: Choose level concrete pads when available. "Level sites all with great water views close to everything," recommends Chris P. about Bonham State Park. Sites numbered 15-25 at Bright Star Campground provide the most shade and privacy for larger rigs.

Utility connections: Water quality varies by location, with some areas reporting brown but safe water. "The spots are paved with a nice sectioned off patio spot," notes Tris W. about Hidden Grove RV Resort. Electrical service typically includes 30/50 amp options, but some older campgrounds offer limited hookups.

Dump station availability: Cooper Lake State Park maintains clean dump stations at entrance areas. "There is a dump station at the entrance station. No wifi. We had weak, but useable, cell connection with T-Mobile," reports Don I. Some facilities charge additional fees for dump station use.
