1 night at Hippie Hill

We absolutely loved camping here. We opted for the wall tent and we loved the “icy freeze” fan. In the morning there was the lightest rain, so we enjoyed the sound of the rain on the canvas, but thanks to a nice breeze, we never got too hot. It was too windy for a fire, but The Healthy Hippy Cafe had Taco Tuesday with the best jack fruit tacos I ever had! The drinks were fantastic and there was even an open mic night. Live music, great food, and a night spent in nature. I’m not a seasoned camper by any means—I’m more of a spa day girl, but this was incredible!

Overall we had a great time! The stars are gorgeous out there, and although the driving trail looked a little sketchy, it was surprisingly even ground and posed no problem for even our smallest car! Definitely would go again!

Weekend Trip to Hippie Hill

This was such a fun stop along the way on our road trip. The accommodations were lovely, camping but upgraded! We loved the Hippie Cafe restaurant (carrot dogs 10/10) and being able to walk to town was perfect. Medicine Park is a surprising little gem of a town. Darrell and Kelli are very friendly and accommodating. Would for sure recommend their little slice of happiness to other campers passing through 💚

Great place for a night stop on a long road trip!

Weekend Trip to Camp near Wichita Mountains Cache

We had a nice weekend tent camping here. They do have their bathhouse open even though the listing says it is coming soon. It is right beside the highway so there is a lot of traffic noise. We were the only tent campers, the others were all RVs. It was a great location to get to Lawton and Medicine Park easily.

The most friendly and accommodating hosts! Great location for a base to explore the Wildlife Refuge from. Hipcamp facilities share property with the hosts’ organic cafe. The cafe was amazing, allowed dog, had plenty of vegan options, and accommodated my food intolerances. The bed in the Shilo tent was comfortable with the softest sheets. My dog felt most welcome. Proximity to highway and cafe limits privacy a bit. Unless cafe is open, bathroom/shower facilities don’t have plumbed running water. Outdoor shower was a unique experience. The military activity during the night was disturbing (sounds of aircraft, bombing and artillery fire started after dark and was on and off until 2am). People staying in this area should be prepared for the chance of these disturbances, though the hosts said the activity was unusual for that late at night.

pretty much to what i expected. The view, the comforts of home and clean. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The food was awesome, breakfast and convivences. The only thing that i would suggest is a small water heater for the shower lol.

This was the perfect spot. My wife doesn't like to SUV camp so we did this so she could come along. She loved it! Darrell was a great host. The tent was clean and very accommodating. The bed was exactly what my wife wanted. The cafe has great food and open when we needed it. Great spot to explore Medicine Park and the Wichita Mts. We'll be back soon.

1 night at Hippie Hill

The location was in a perfect spot. So close to everything and the Zion tent looks straight at Mount Scott, which was a gorgeous view. We had breakfast at Healthy Hippie Cafe right a min or two walk from the site. Healthy and great food! Recommend to anyone.

Tent camping on Kelli's land was a fantastic experience! The location could not have been more perfect - close enough to town to be able to have the convenience of shopping and restaurants if wanted and far enough away to feel like you are getting the full camping experience. The proximity to the Wildlife Refuge with its many trails, gorgeous views and wildlife is a definite perk. Kelli and her husband were amazing hosts. Highly recommend!

The Peak RV Park

11 sites1 acre · Lawton, OK

The Peak stands out as a unique campground, offering a blend of natural beauty and a welcoming atmosphere created by its dedicated owners. The story of The Peak began in 1998 when Mark, an Oklahoman, and Cecilia, a Californian, embarked on a journey together. Over 25 years of marriage, they have been blessed with five children, nine horses, seven dogs, more than 30 chickens, and seven grandsons, creating a vibrant family life that enriches the campground experience. Building The Peak from the ground up, Mark and Cecilia envisioned a place where visitors could enjoy a relaxing vacation or find a comfortable stay while working in the area. The journey has not always been smooth; the housing market crash in 2008 posed significant challenges. However, their resilience and determination have transformed The Peak into the beloved destination it is today. Mark and Cecilia take immense pride in their work, providing camping spaces that attract guests from all over the United States. They cherish the connections made with visitors, although saying goodbye can be the hardest part of their role as campground owners.
