The best forest campgrounds near Ponca City, Oklahoma

I cannot wait to come back next spring! The property is beyond beautiful! The cute outhouse, upcoming shower and hammocks just add to the fun atmosphere here. The hosts are absolutely incredible! They checked on me, gave me some “newbie” advice and assistance and were just the sweetest ever!

6 nights at K.C. Ranch

This has to be the best place to camp in Oklahoma. Longhorns roaming around, getting to tour with Casey (grandson) and the host, Glenda, was awesome. Such a great family and time on this property. I was there 6 nights, 4 at a camp where I truck camped, 2 at the tiny home. The tiny home was perfect when it got really cold and was able to have a good comfortable shelter. The campsite was great and remote but still able to have the longhorns roaming nearby. I would 100% recommend to anyone in this area and plan to stay next time I’m over that way.

Weekend Trip to K.C. Ranch

We were unable to camp there due to storms so we ended up in a hotel. Glenda invited us out over to Ranch over The Weekend so we could spend some time with her on the ranch. We did go to the ranch and spent about 4 hours. We met her Longhorns, fed them and got to spend some time in the garden. Glenda is a fabulous hostess. We had a great time! She also gave us places we should visit. I’m definitely going back in the Spring!

Weekend Trip to Sky Valley Acres

This was such a special place, and we loved the wooded seclusion of site 5. The hammock was a treat for our daughters, and our dogs loved roaming around off leash. The trails and property are so well maintained, and the owners were incredibly hospitable. We'll definitely be back!

We loved camping on Glenda’s land she was very hospitable and the views were amazing! We woke up each morning and drank coffee as the longhorns made their way to the pond. 10/10 would recommend!!

I had an amazing time camping on Glenda’s ranch. It was very peaceful and relaxing. They took me and my dog out to see the long horns one evening and it was so much fun!

2 nights at Sky Valley Acres

We had a great time at site 2. Easy access to the composting toilet (which is awesome!) for my toddlers and it was nice and open for them to run around. The picnic table, hammocks, and grate for cooking over the fire were awesome additions as well!! We will definitely be back, and are excited to try out the more primitive camping sites Ash has to offer!

Beautiful space! Campsite was very well maintained and tucked away. Directions were easy and the map they included helped a lot. I usually camp alone and I felt very safe here. Will definitely be booking again for the fall & winter!

We loved camping on Ash’s land. The site was easy to get to and set up perfectly. The fire pit had an iron grate you could lay across it making it easy to cook over the open fire. We will definitely be back!

2 nights at K.C. Ranch

Our second time staying with Glenda, and we had a fantastic time again! We went on a very nice long ranch tour seeing many corners of the property, and left with some delicious eggs and vegetables from the garden. We made some tomato sauce and still have loads of cherry tomatoes left over to eat. We stayed in the campsite off the road this time, as our car didn’t have enough clearance to make it through the cow pasture as we did last time. It was a really pleasant and beautiful place to camp, and we were still free to roam as we pleased around the property. Glenda is always the kindest host with so much knowledge of the area, and always available to help out campers. Will be coming back, of course.

2 nights at K.C. Ranch

This was the best camping trip ever!! 100 acres to yourself. Hundreds of longhorn cattle free roaming around your camp site. Casey and Glenda were amazing hosts. Taking us on a tour of the ranch, feed the longhorn cattle, went fishing in multiple ponds, learned to rope, and even test out a bucking bronco training rig. I would encourage anyone who goes to this ranch to purchase the longhorn steaks and farm fresh eggs while you are there. Delicious! Glenda and Casey were again the best hosts you could ever want. Treated us like family and accommodated us tremendously. Thanks Casey and Glenda for everything

1 night at K.C. Ranch

We loved the entire time we had at the ranch. Glenda was so accommodating and kind despite us booking at the very last minute. She put us up in her tiny house for the night to save us from an awesome storm that passed over and probably would’ve soaked us through. Her grandson Casey showed us the longhorns and taught us many things about the ranch and the area. Really awesome dude, he took us fishing and taught me how to use a baitcaster and I showed him how to fly fish a little bit. No shortage of catching fish and time with super sweet dogs. Had no clue Oklahoma was such an amazing place, wish we could have stayed longer.

Well kept and maintained site. Site 2 was very open so my dog could run around. Nice firepit with cooking grate. It rained while I was here but it was grassy so wasn't muddy at all. Will definitely come back!
