Beavers Bend State Park is located in the mountainous region of southeast Oklahoma along the shores of Broken Bow Lake and the Mountain Fork River. Guests traveling down the winding roads through the forests of pine and hardwood trees will find adventure, beautiful scenery and plenty of activities inside this state park. The scenic beauty of Beavers Bend State Park makes it one of Oklahoma's most popular areas. Nestled among the trees and alongside the Mountain Fork River are rustic and modern cabins, RV sites and tent campsites, as well as two group camps. Two yurts named "Happy Hearth" and "Bear Tracks" are also available for overnight lodging. These round, tent-like structures are located right near the Mountain Fork River. This 3,482-acre park offers 47 cabins with kitchenettes, plus 393 campsites and over 50 tent sites spread over eight camping areas. All RV and tent sites are available for online reservations. Waste dump stations are available. Leashed pets are welcome in the park and there are cabins with one and two bedrooms that allow pets for a small nightly fee.
Came here for a first time solo camp. Reservations are made easily on the Beavers Bend website. The grounds are quiet and well kept. Beautiful scenery. The ground is quite hard, so I'd recommend some strong tent pegs. I'll definitely be returning.
Overall this campsite was so beautiful, and very calm. It was our first time fall camping for a Friendsgiving trip. We had such a great time, very relaxing and you’ll probably run into a few deers during the day. That was a nice sight to see. Just the drive into the site was absolutely amazing. The leaves falling down throughout the day. The stars at night are a must to see! We will definitely be returning to this campsite!
The campsites are pretty separated so there’s enough space and privacy in-between them. You do have to walk up to them to see the numbers because they’re not visible from the road, but follow the map when you make your reservation and it won’t be hard to find.
There is a spigot in front of the restrooms, just incase you need to fill up on water or wash dishes. The only thing that I didn’t like was the restrooms they stink really bad! There’s enough toilet paper for most of your trip, but hold your breath! 😂
We enjoyed the campground, wasn’t bad or anything. Our site was G24, which was pretty nice being able to drive up and unload our gears, also it’s walking distance to the river.
It did rain and flooded our campsite ( 10/28/23 ) but wasn’t too bad. For the price, I feel it’s pricey since you had to pay per night a spot fee and also a tent fee.
There are restrooms between where we were at, but like people mention before, Fern does have running toilet and hot showers but it does get busy and crowded during peak times.
The complaints I have is during night time and you’re in the tent and people driving around it will light up the whole tent area. Also, even though it says quiet time is at 11pm, expect to get loud music playing way past that time, like at 2am.
