Nestled just a quarter mile from the entrance of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, our glamping village sits on a scenic hill behind our cafe, offering stunning views of Mt. Scott and direct access to nearby hiking trails. We currently feature three glamping wall tents- Zion, Selah, and Shiloh. Each tent includes a wooden deck and a framed queen-size bed, creating a cozy, romantic retreat you won't forget. Our bathhouse includes two private rooms, each equipped with a camping toilet, pump sink, and thoughtful amenities for your comfort. Our outdoor shower will be refreshing after a long hike as well! We have just installed two standing outdoor grills for your cooking needs. Both on the gravel parking lot level, one by the covered patio, the other by the picnic area. Bring your own charcoal, or add it on to your order and we will have it ready for you. Please remember to leave no trace, use trash recepticles and do not leave any food out for the wildlife. Bringing a pet? They are very welcome here, however, we now require a $30 pet fee due to additional cleaning and potential damages. Please add this on to your booking. By June 1, 2025, we'll be adding two spacious yurts, each accommodating 6-8 sleeping bags or cots - perfect for families, kids, or groups looking for a unique outdoor stay. For those seeking a more rustic experience, we also offer nine primitive walk-up campsites.

2. THE FARM

36mi from Lawton · 3 sites · Tents, RVs

We have 161.64 acres which has 4 gravel access points at different parts of the property. The property has several oil sites and it does have cattle, however, it has largely been untouched since the 1970s, meaning we have old growth and new growth for trees and natural habitat for wildlife. This property has been in the family for almost 5 generations and we are working to rebuild after nearly 50 years of no activity. From my covered front porch I can hear owls, coyotes, hawks and other birds while watching deer munching in the open meadow. The property has three low water level ponds, meaning no fish - but the opportunity to hike, bike, horseback ride or UTV into and out of the creek(s). Up and down rolling hills. Watch a thunderstorm roll over the horizon while watching lightning from miles away. Enjoy stargazing and naming that constellation. The ponds do not have fish, but we are going to be stocking them within the next year. There are plenty of open spaces or covered (by trees) spaces to camp. We are working to restore the property including rebuilding several structures that were destroyed in the May 3rd, 1999 tornado. So, there is always a project or two in progress around the early 1900s homestead. We do not have any prepared sites so, you can set up camp near the house for easy access to potable water or out in the pasture. The choice is yours! Once you arrive we will work with you to help you decide.

From a distance you may think that our place is like ever other place, but it's not. We pride ourselves on turning this once domesticated property back into it's natural state. With regeneration practices we have added native flowers, medicinal herbs and pollinators where acres of wheat once stood. We have activities for an additional fee such as taking a stroll with our certified master herbalist, pick some edible flowers in our "I Pick You" U-Pic garden, milk a goat, or learn about how we implement regeneration practices just to name a few. There’s no pressure to add these activities so just relax and enjoy nature the way it should be, natural.

Stop. Collaborate and listen. Waurika Lake is back with a brand new park, and honestly it’s gorgeous. Okay so maybe that’s not how the song goes but we’re thinking it should be. Check out the park and you’ll see. A picturesque lake with fishing and boating, beaches to lay out on, trails to explore, seriously could you ask for anything more? We didn’t think so. Don’t miss out on picnics by the shore, and sharing bread with the birds. Watch the many animals scamper about the area, try to take a few pics if you can! Pitch a tent and extend the trip, you know you want to!

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. With a commitment to hospitality and a passion for the outdoors, The Peak continues to be a cherished retreat for those seeking adventure and relaxation in nature.

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.

Weekend Trip to Hippie Hill

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.
