Despite the sites all being full, you had about three groups of people who rented all the surrounding campsites to their own, and didn't like the fact that I had got one of the ones that they didn't rent. ![]() Then a ranger pulls up and informed me that they had complaints about me from the other campers. I set up my bedding and was there for about an hour, largely quietly keeping to myself. So I went to the swamps south of Idabel and came back about dusk. I wasn't happy about it, but since I paid that much for the site (which wasn't a good one, but all the other sites were "full"), I was determined to use it. I told them I wasn't going to be putting up a tent, because I was going to be gone most of the day saturday,and wouldn't be back until after dark, so I didn't want anyone getting into my stuff. Of coarse they told me that the price was $80 bucks total after they ran my card. I asked why and was fed a line about high cost of living and that they are not a state park but a resort park. They charged me $40 a night for tent camping. I showed up and went to pay for my campsite for two nights. I've never been treated so piss poorly at a state park in my life. I am never going to camp at Beaver's Bend/ Hochatown State Park again. Overall it's a great place to visit but unless they get their pricing sorted out I'm not sure it's worth what they might ask you to pay (they never charged me like this in previous visits). I believed this to be a clerical error but then others in the office agreed that $84 was the correct price for a single site for 5 people on a primitive campground. This was not even correct according to the document they handed us with pricing and yet they charged it. When presented with that price we clarified that it was only 4 adults and 1 toddler but they said that each hammock or tent is classified as a unit and that each unit pays $14/night. Pretty standard stuff right?īut when stopping by the Heritage Center to pay what we expected to be $14/night ($28 total) we were told that it would be $42/night ($84 total) after they asked us how many tents and/or hammocks we had. In every camping experience I've ever had until this point, that would be considered a single site. We also put up 3 hammocks in a few trees next to the tent. My wife and I put up a small 3 person tent and the others slept in a 6 person tent. Our group of 4 adults and 1 toddler camped at a single campsite at Hickory campground that consisted of a fire ring, a picnic table, and a charcoal grill with a vault toilet nearby. ![]() But we just camped there this past weekend and after a good trip, were greeted with a pretty sucky experience when we stopped by the Heritage Center to pay on the way out. It's a beautiful park and place to camp and paddle along the river. Let me start by saying that I've been here several times and enjoyed it.
