For Acorn - Beavers Bend State Park: A pretty park around the lake that is well spread out. Didn’t use any public restrooms but from the outside they all mostly appeared clean and maintained.
We
stayed in the Acorn section in a 38’ motorhome. We entered from the southern route which is a bit hilly and curved but manageable in our rig with the Jeep in tow. Acorn and possibly Cypress are the only sections I would recommend in a big rig as the sites are tight with trees and narrow access road with plenty of turns. However, having said this we had a wonderful view of the river at our site (18). Fairly quiet although we were visiting during Spring break.
Would return for sure.

For Acorn - Beavers Bend State Park: We travel full time 365 days per year and stay in State parks across the USA. There is always some trash to pick up ie. candy wrappers, cigarette butts, etc. We even clean Wal Mart parking lots if we over night there. I was very excited to spend a week a Beavers Bend as I had fond memories as a child camping there. Boy was I disappointed. I have never camped in a state park with this much trash. In just two days we easily picked up between 200-300 pounds of trash. We did not even make a dent in the trash. The south entrance road we filled trash bags every 20 to 30 feet. We finally gave up and decided to rent a canoe. Once again we spent most of our time cleaning trash from the river. Our canoe was 1/4 full by the time we were back to the marina. I would guess 98 percent of the trash in the park were beer cans and beer bottles. This is not new trash as labels were bleached and weathered. This was years of accumulation. So sad.
The campsites are first come. I disconnected the car from our rv as not to block traffic on the narrow one way streets through the campground. We found an available campsite. I parked the jeep and was going to walk about six minutes to get the RV. The camp host stopped me and said the site could not be reserved with the jeep even for one minute. He said everyone knew the rules and that sites could only be reserved with a camping vessel. We abounded the site as requested. I had a tent in our RV so I retrieved it and sat on a rock at the top of a hill with a view of the campground. When someone left I ran as fast as I could and threw up the tent and paid for the site. I walked back to the RV and tore down the tent and backed in. This is hands down the dumbest rules I have ever encountered. As the week progressed I watched as people would sit on the hill waiting for someone to leave. They would set up children's tents only used to reserve a site. Then they would leave and may not return for four or five days with their family. The campsites would sit vacant with a children's tent reserving it while other family's are waiting for a place to camp.
If this place has good reviews, it is from the beer sucking bubbas that are trashing it. I will say this...the beer cans we picked up said nothing of the 3.2 that is sold in Oklahoma. That means the trash is being brought in from out of state. When we were there every license plate with the exception of two were Texas.

For Acorn - Beavers Bend State Park: Beautiful sites overlooking the River, back-in's mostly but no sewer. Hiking, fishing, museum and other activities. Dam sirens add to the ambiance. Good patches....and you might see Bigfoot!
