Local History
About 65 miles southwest of Oklahoma City, near the junction of Highways 81 and 17, was a sign that said: "Welcome to Rush Springs, home of 1500 happy faces and a few old soreheads."
Now the sign says: "Welcome to Rush Springs." Also, there is a giant
watermelon slice indicating that Rush Springs is also the Watermelon Capital.
Rush Springs gets its name from the large springs near the head of Rush Creek from which the town gets its water supply. It is one of the oldest (if not the oldest) settlements in Grady County, Oklahoma.
The history of Rush Springs may be divided into six periods.
The first period leads up to 1858. The springs served as a camping site for Indian tribes from very early days. The Wichita Indians settled on Rush
Creek about four miles southeast of the present town around 1850. It was at this place that the famous "Battle of the Wichita Village" was fought between the Comanches and the United States Calvary on October 1, 1858. After this battle, the Wichitas fled to Fort Arbuckle.
The second period deals with the Chisholm cattle trail (1865-1892). Thousands of heads of cattle were driven northward across the territory over this trail from Texas to Kansas. This trail passed about one and a half miles east of the town, and the springs served as a watering place for the cattle. This trail ceased to be
used after the railroad was built across the territory in 1892. Parts of this trail can still be seen today.
The third period covers the years 1871-1878. Fort Sill had just been established. Supplies had to be shipped to Fort Sill from points in the eastern part of Indian Territory. After the building of the railroad across the eastern part of the territory, Caddo became the main shipping point. Rush Springs was between Caddo and Fort Sill. A stage stand was built and a little town sprang up. When the government freight station was moved from Caddo to Texas, the little town nearly died.
The years 1878-1892 make up the fourth period. The "Huntley Ranch" was established on Rush Creek near the site of the old Wichita Village. The ranch became a stage stand and a freight station for local settlers. A post office, known as "Parr," was established at this place in 1883. In 1892, this post office was moved to Rush Springs.
The fifth period begins in the year 1892, when the Rock Island Railroad came through the springs. It became a government freight station to Fort Sill for nine years, resulting in rapid growth of the town.
The sixth period dates from 1901 when the Rock Island Railroad lines were extended to Fort Sill and Lawton, thus ceasing the freight trade at Rush Springs. The town has since depended on ranching, farming and oil interest for its existence.

Great spot!

Camping on Mark and Angela’s land was simple. They met us when we arrived, gave us a great tour of the VW Krankenhaus (which as former owners of several different VWs, we enjoyed!), showed us where to find the facilities, and left us to set up camp. They were friendly and their place was as described.

I found the location very easily and the owner even warned me of a dip in the road so I came in from a different direction (which they outlined to me) because I have a relatively low to the ground clearance trailer that I tow. Mark and Angela were very helpful reaching out to me before and during my trip. They are both VW enthusiasts and Angela gave me a tour of their VW collection in and around their pole barn garage. They were both very hospitable and I enjoyed my stay there.
They made their cabana bathroom available for my stay which was super nice. Would highly recommend if you're in the Oklahoma City area as a place to stay.

Mark and Angela were excellent hosts. They accommodated me so well that I felt all the things that a camper should feel, safe able to rest. I was too tired to take the VW tour, but believe me Mark has the bug, sorry for the play on words.
There were very kind with leading me in by the phone, and leading me out, and this was a 10 out of 10 stay.

We loved staying at Corley’s spot! The amenities exceeded expectations and it was such a relaxing way to rest our heads after a long drive. We opted for the furnished tent with A/C and it was very affordable and neatly kept. The bathroom and shower was such a great perk!! Corley was also very communicative and flexible with our arrival time, as well as accommodating our dog too, who had the best time. Would absolutely recommend staying here if you can. We would love to come back! :)

We stayed just one night here and it was such a peaceful, personal experience. The property was quiet, the horses were beautiful to watch, and the whole place had a really calming, open-sky vibe. It felt like a true escape.
We grabbed dinner at Smokin Joes BBQ in town before heading to the ranch and I’d highly recommend it if you want good food and friendly conversation. That night, we discovered Carter Spring, a natural spring just five minutes down the road. It was cold but super refreshing, with local kids playing and jumping in—definitely a cool little hidden spot.
Whether you’re a beginner camper, a weekend explorer, or just need a quiet night under the stars, this place is a perfect base. I’d absolutely come back!

The host was very helpful and gave me some lighter fluid when I was having trouble starting my fire. The animals were very friendly and would slowly approach or keep their distance. My only complaint is that they have 3 dogs who were a little too friendly, it was hard to get any done with 3 fluffy dogs constantly wanting to be pet. Still 5 stars
