Weekend Trip to Hippie Hill

An authentic opportunity for a stand out adventure can be discovered in Southestern Oklahoma at The Healthy Hippie Cafe within the charming town of Medicine Park! Well said that it is a full sensory experience set in the parameters of the wildlife refuge where both primitive and canvas tent dwellers can enjoy the beauty of the surrounding hills and view of Mt. Scott upon sunrise. A lovely trail ascends to a panoramic perspective of the historical towns settings. We heard coyotes calling out after sundown, the lovely fall breezes passing through the tent windows, the brilliance of the stars, and even a hooting owl passing by! We traveled here to celebrate our youngest son's 6th birthday. He enjoyed every minute of it! The hosts, Darrell and Kelli are super personable and make themselves readily available. This little piece of property is set off the main road adjacent to The Healthy Hippie Cafe. However, with the exception to the minimal passing vehicles in the earlier evening and some talented musicians that could be heard in the distance, all was brought solely to the sounds of nature alone soon after. We slept in the Shiloh tent. It was spacious and the bed was comfortable. Bathrooms are available and an outdoor shower if that suits you. We started our morning with a short hike on the property and breakfast in the Cafe. Super! The bar provides many fantastic options. GREAT coffee! REAL food! Ambiance is legit. This place is crushworthy. Thank you, Darrell & Kelli!

1 night at Hippie Hill

Excellent glamping accommodations up there at Hippie Hill. You can watch the sun set over Mt. Scott right from your front steps, or from the viewing platform. Need a bite to eat or an espresso to get you moving? There's an affiliated restaurant with a scratch kitchen and amazing coffee. Darrell was an incredibly attentive host, and clearly takes his role of host to heart. This attitude permeates all the staff of the adjacent Healthy Hippie Cafe. Everyone seemed like old friends newly met. I can't say enough positive things about the folks there. The tent was great. Modern. Well appointed. It was a great experience all around. Darrell even went so far as to provide a battery operated ice air conditioner, a bluetooth speaker/flashlight, and a rechargeable fan. If you're lucky, you can hear the elk calling in the hills in the mornings, or the coyotes yipping in the evening. The entrance to the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge is just up the road. This might be the closest accommodations to the entrance, and all that this amazing place has to offer (Don't hold me to that though, maybe there's some place closer that I didn't see.). An easy hiking trail connects the facility to the Medicine Park Aquarium. 10/10 would stay (and eat, and explore, and relax, and hang out) again.

My daughter and I loved camping at Hippie Hill, it was such a peaceful and beautiful little spot. We stayed in the Shiloh tent - the bed was very comfy and it was so cool being able to see Mt Scott right from the camp site. And the cafe had delicious meals! I had the tacos and my daughter had some sweet potato fries, it was all amazing. :) The hosts were so welcoming and gave us helpful tips on where to paddleboard and play in the water to cool off. I would definitely go back again!

Really cool place and the hosts were great.Really close to medicine park and the restaurant the hosts own is really good, the provided a portable ice filled AC for us so it wouldn’t be so hot to sleep at night and a lantern. Lots of wild life as well.

Tent camping here was a blast for the whole family. My kids loved exploring the hillside and my dogs enjoyed the patio area. The Shiloh tent was clean and comfortable and easily fit all five of us plus our two dogs at night. Kelli and Darrell were fantastic hosts who provided us with everything we needed. Plus their cafe was very welcoming had a great selection of food and drinks. The shopping area is a very short drive away, as was the animal refuge and mount Scott- all fun places to go with lots to do. I highly recommend this camp site for anyone visiting the Medicine Park area.
