9mi from Lawton · 13 sites · Tents, Lodging

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.

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. 

3. The Peak RV Park

11mi from Lawton · 11 sites

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.

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!

Honest review. Darrel was amazing. Wears a lot of hats and makes sure we are taken care of. He suggested to use the restaurant bathroom from 30 min before open to 30 minutes after close. During the night there are camping toilets in private rooms behind the restaurant. Not my favorite but they have long open hours so it really is for just in the middle of the night use. We decided not to cook but there were grills available outside. Had a few common seating areas for watching sunsets and sunrises. Common campfire that Darrel started and provided wood for, himself. We ate all our meals at the cafe. They are very considerate of food allergies preferences no sugar or lots of sugar if needed. Full bar, the chocolate drop martini was delish. Coffee was awesome. Had almond and oatmilk low sugar. Healthy choices from quinoa, black bean burgers house cut fries, latino favorites like hueve rancheros, teas, yerba mate, beer. Turmeric lattes. Very fresh tasting and yummy. They had real egg or imitation eggs or “cheggs” also had real chicken or crushed chickpeas in the quesadillas. Lots of choices. Servers were prompt and kind. The room was cute in decor, bed was comfortable and I have lower sacrum problems and it didn’t hurt to sleep on it. I was hoping there would be a tent heater but there was not one so we used the blankets that were very comfy on the bed and an extra sleeping bag and was very cozy. The tents did have condensation. Thank you for the great stay

I really enjoyed my stay at Hippie Hill! I booked the Zion Tent for my first night of my stay in the Wichita Mountains. I had never been to the area and it was nice to have a stay in town to get the lay of the land before venturing into the park. The bed was super comfortable, and the tent was nice and warm and protected me from the heavy winds. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. It is right in the center of the town and the cafe provided a delicious meal and coffee before I started out on my hike the next day. My only critique is that the guest outhouse was locked overnight, but I was able to use the cafe bathroom during business hours. There is some road noise so it’s not necessarily a secluded sort of experience. But it was nice to enjoy a soft bed after a long day of travel before camping the next 2 nights! Again the owners and the cafe were really nice. I’d definitely recommend this spot for someone who wants to enjoy Medicine Park during their trip to the Wildlife Refuge.

Great communication, Tent was exactly how it looked online and the place was comfortable and clean. I really like the fire pit and added addition of having a restaurant and bar nearby just in case the weather turns

This place was beautiful, especially at sunset! The bed was super comfy and it was awesome to have a place to eat delicious food literally right at the front of the campsites. Would definitely visit again!

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!

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 💚

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.

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.

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!

Comfortable, has everything you need. Great hosts and beautiful area. The Happy Hippie cafe run by the hosts is a believably great Vegan destination. I had such a great dinner there. Highly recommend staying in one of the tents….very sweet.
