Welcome to Sky Valley Acres, where history meets the horizon. Come join us out in our little slice of country paradise, 30 acres of natural prairie and woodlands nestled on the highest peak in the county overlooking the historic Twin Mounds Valley. Not too far from home, but just far enough to feel like an adventure, we are conveniently located 20 minutes outside the quaint college town of Stillwater, Oklahoma. Our sites offer both large open areas for vehicles and activities paired with private wooded forest for tents and seclusion. Individual sites are many acres apart designed in such a way that every experience is peaceful and private. We offer maintained camping sites which are easily accessible that come with amenities, in addition to our alternative primitive camping experience for the pros further in the Backwoods. What ever your needs or preference we have a spot for you! We have easy access to two main highways with the nearest Walmart 10 minutes away, not to mention great cell phone coverage for all the main providers at most locations on the property.
A little bit about how we started. Like most of us, we were in desperate need of a place to get away from the bustle and grind of daily life, to slow down, decompress, and destress. This land the universe had waiting for us, gave us just that! It changed our lives and now we are excited to open up this sanctuary to others who share our passion for the great outdoors! Interestingly, each year we find out more about our home, from its Native American prehistory, to its 19th century Civil War conflict, and most recently, a lost article published in the 1940s in the local Oklahoman gazette that enticingly gossips about long lost Buried Treasure!

We had the best time! The owners greeted us warmly and even brought over yard games to our campsite when they saw we had a bunch of kids in tow. We chose campsite 3 which was perfect to spread out, play catch, etc. We walked around to the other sites and thought site 5 was beautiful with the creek bed and full of trees but for our group, 3 was perfect. It was also walkable to the adorable outhouse. It’s a composting outhouse but was very clean/well kept. Our stay couldn’t have been better. We also met a friendly green eyed cat during our walk and she hung out with us the rest of our stay.

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 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!

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!

Beautiful location and wonderful hosts. Cows behind you, birds all around you singing happily and listening to the coyotes talking at night was amazing. They have the most adorable outhouse! 5 stars all day. They are very active on the app so if you have any questions I'm sure they'll be quick to reply. Highly recommend if you're passing through.

Sky Valley Acres is beautiful! Ash & Michelle are excellent hosts. There are several nice, private camping spots and there is a two-private-stall compost outhouse on the property close and convenient. You wouldn't normally think something like an outhouse would be cute but they put effort into making it nice.
Very responsive hosts. Nice land. Convenient outhouse. I look forward to camping at Sky Valley Acres in the near future. Cheers!

Campsite was awesome! Privacy from other group was great, the composting toilet was incredible, you just have to see it to believe it! Great access, trash by the gate, I mean probably the best experience we have had so far - INFINITY STARS!!! We were there for the Boys from Oklahoma Shows for the weekend and it was super convenient to get back and forth from Stillwater! We will definitely be back again!! :):)
