Fun for whole family even our dogs enjoyable very peaceful and lots of wildlife
Into motorcycles or not you will be treated like family here. Many different types of spots to chose from. They will do everything humanly possible to make your stay wonderful.
The River front sites are the best with FHU's. Taking advantage of the river is the most popular thing to do. There is a golf course nearby too. On site museum at the park visitor's center. I enjoyed the Beaver Creek hike. My biggest complaint would be they put the campsites directly on the river, so if you want to walk along the river, you feel like your in someone's site.
We loved this park. It was beautiful, but the signs were a bit confusing and we came in the dark so we parked where we thought our spot was. Well, it wasn’t our spot and we had to move at 8:30 at night. There’s also no service (at least for T-Mobile). Loved the trails and the restaurant.
We camped at Fern Circle. It was a lot people going to the bathrooms. Too touristy they also need to be educated about copperheads in the area . Watched a lot of people walk there in the dark without lights with their kids. Found a copperhead near campsite 12 A lady almost stepped on it and didn’t know what that it was poisonous or a copperhead. Other than that we had fun!
We had had a blowout on our rv and needed to stay the night instead of finishing our travel they answered the phone on a Sunday which surprised me (I had call around) The lady at the desk was so helpful and informed us about discounts my husband was missing because of his service (National Guard Vet) which has been so greatly appreciated! The spot was unleveled but that’s no big deal if you have leveling blocks. Very beautiful and quiet when we visited in early August. The man in charge when we left was very helpful and mingled a moment with my husband before we headed home nice people and clean establishment definitely will be going back
We stayed in the Acorn campground right by the river. Clean and well stocked bathrooms, level campsites, and fantastic views. The trees make you think you’re in Colorado. Only thing you need to know is the flood sirens do go off sometimes and are VERY loud.
It was and amazing site, very clean and quite. I could throw a stone to the river. Great attractions around the town.
This is a nice campground with decently wooded sites. The site I sated had water, electric, a picnic table, a fire pit and a lantern post. There was a flat spot to set up my tent. The campground had decent star views and was a short walk to clean pit toilets. The showers were a short drive away and were also clean.
Beautiful river side half of OK State Park. Beautiful tall trees that whisper when the wind blows. Good hiking. Not busy but only because winter. Fills up fast.
This is a nice campground on the shore of a small man made lake. The lake has a boat ramp and fishing pier. Some of the sites need minor repairs and the some disgusting person made a mess of the men's pit toilet but the a crew cleaned it in the morning. The campground has decent views of the stars especially looking north. The site I chose was close to the lake and relatively level.
Ver private and natural setting
I’m an avid camper and hiker but when camping here alone at night (no one else was in the tent camping area), my camp site was accosted by a family of raccoons. They were not friendly and not scared of people at all. Be careful if you have young children. Aside from this, the lake was beautiful, peaceful and serene. Camp sites are unique and right on the water.
Spent the night at Fern Campground inside Beavers Bend State Park. Amazing Park! The towering canopy takes your breath away. We enjoyed a tasty dinner on the grill. Fly fishing the rapids of Spillway Creek below Broken Bow Lake and above Lower Mountain Fork River with my boys quickly became a memory I will never forget.
Staff were amazing. So helpful and so friendly. The campground is a work in progress but they are doing a great job. The rv spots are shaded. Electric and water but no sewer if you’re close to the river which we were. The cabins are adorable and their general store was so cute! They have a community kitchen anyone can use! The river was low but very enjoyable. The only annoyance were the multitude of ATVs using the campground roads and the river bed instead of sticking to the ATV trails (and there are lots of them). Our particular neighbors didn’t acknowledge 11pm quiet time but everyone else did. Overall we will definitely be back soon!
Located in SE Oklahoma, this park is very large. Several trails and pull off spots near river and lake. Hochatown has several restaurants, food trucks, breweries and small kid activities such as bumper cars, mini golf and a maze. It's still a state park but offers more nearby options than most state parks. We stayed 4 nights but I would have loved to stay longer. We paid up for a newly renovated premium spot on the river - Buckeye campground site 4. Restrooms, showers and a small laundry room on site. If traveling in the summer, I would recommend Acorn or Cypress campground - shaded!
While this campground is gorgeous, I cannot recommend. The reservations are online only and there is no coverage in the camping area, WIFI at the office. Then the website does not confirm your spot, you have to wait for a email (takes about 30 minutes). Also, the reservation system showed the area I stayed as nearly full. In fact there were only 3 sites of 13 in used and we were all right next to each other. Once you are settled in for the night, the water release siren goes off. This happened at midnight and again about 2am. It is not something you will sleep through.
We stayed at spot 18, it was a quick walk to the lake and had the most beautiful wooded view from the campsite. The dump station has 2 spots and very easy to use. The public restrooms were clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. We highly recommend this campsite!
We camped in Fern which we really enjoyed. Ample space at campsites. River view is beautiful. Fern is in front of the horse depot and train. In the summer I would imagine this is a high traffic area so Acorn and Cypress may be more desirable. The whole area is beautiful and relaxing or has plenty of activities if you choose. No Wifi but cell signal was good. Tent campgrounds were nice also. Lake pretty but we liked river views better. Staff very friendly but make sure and register all vehicles or get a ticket. Use the AllTrails app. Fantastic handicap sites!
Beautiful site on the river. Use the bathroom by campsites 5/6, others are old and dirty. If you can get Acorn #1, do—it’s the most remote and you can hear the overflow from the dam. Take mosquito repellent.
Me and a buddy went on a fishing trip out here and it was phenomenal. The sunrise and sunsets were nothing short of breathtaking and the lake is as calm as butter!
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.
Weekend getaway. Took a chance on this park #1 it was close and #2 they had a few RV sites available. We were not disappointed! Cannot say enough positives about this park. Absolutely beautiful. The hiking was gorgeous and amateur to moderate so I had no problem. The rocks, trees, trails are all beautiful. Could be a little better marked so be mindful but overall wonderful.
Our campsite was easy to access with a beautiful view of trees and the lake. Quiet and respectful campers. The grounds are maintained and the bathrooms clean. Plenty of things to do and see and only 20 minutes from Atoka if you need anything.
Check out the firewood supply on McGee Creek Rd coming in honor system at 10 logs for $5. And the DAM store staff were super nice and helpful. We will definitely be making this a routine go to.
We spent our first weekend in our new 38’ toy hauler. Site 19 is nice and peaceful but not on river. Would have preferred a river side site like 18 or 20. 1 is actually the most private. 19 is a handicap spot so lots of concrete to spread out on! Quite and lot of nice hikes and fishing within walking distance
We stayed at Carson Creek Road, Quail campground site 6. We got there on Tuesday night and it was very quiet and almost empty. The sites are decent. And there is some construction going on around the bathroom facilities. Down the road from quail loop were beautiful campsites right on the water. There was so much to do along the main road. Overall quail campsite was a nice spot to stay, but the real attraction is right in beavers bend state park.
Beautiful site right in the lake!
This is my absolute favorite place to escape into nature! This is very secluded wilderness area with lots of trails. Upon arrival, you have to stop at the Ranger's Station to fill out a permit mapping your stay. There are a lot of trails, so you want to plan your trip as best you can beforehand.
The trails are so peaceful and secluded, I have been 3 times and have yet to see any other people there. I truly enjoy the Rocky Point trails, and am working my way up to some of the longer loops. I have only seen some wildlife there, but got the privilege to see a very large bird, that I'd have guessed was a vulture or hawk taking off from the ground!
I have stayed mostly at a camp about 2 miles in on the Little Bugaboo, Rocky Point & South Rim loop near the Whiskey Flats trail, although, you could really camp about anywhere if you're capable, there are a few other designated spots to camp.
This place is densely vegetated in some places, so I don't recommend shorts or sandals, and do recommend lots of bug spray and a big stick for clearing spider webs as you go!
