The campsite overlooks over 600 acres of peaceful grassy knolls which takes the viewer back in time. See below for a bit of local history and things to see while in the area. Our campsites are BYOS sites: We do not provide outhouses or tent potties at our sites, so you must bring your own. We do, however, provide a full restroom with shower/bath at the main house during reasonable hours and have a septic for you to dispose of your waste (during open hours) so you don't have to travel with it. Welcome and we hope you enjoy yourselves and get a glimpse of a little bit of what our tierheim visitors enjoy when they come here.
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.

Loved tent camping on Hippie Hill! Be sure to grab a bite to eat before or after your Medicine Park/Wichitas adventures! LOVE THEM! First time camping although I’ve visited their cafe previously. I endlessly recommend the stay! Hosts and cafe staff are so kind. I definitely recommend camping as high up the hill as you’re able to go. Further from the road and more into nature. You’re likely to see deer and elk, and maybe even hear some coyotes. They have camper-style bathroom facilities which is very convenient, and even allow you to use the cafe facilities during operating hours. I hope to stay many more times in the future!! Thank you Darrell & Kelli!!

The views are amazing and you can even go hike up their land for some more great views. The bathrooms are super clean and they even provide a few toiletries if you forget yours. You also need to get breakfast from their restaurant!! The coffee and drinks are amazing too. They have games and lots of areas to hang out. I completely recommend this campsite!

It's a gorgeous location and the Shiloh tent was cute, cozy, and roomy. I really appreciated that we didn't have to haul pillows and blankets because the site comes with a real bed fully dressed. It was also handy that it's so close to Medicine Park. Our hosts were friendly and informative. It's nice that they're right there at the restaurant in case we had any questions. Campfires have always been the centerpiece to our camping trips and I was kinda bummed that there weren't individual fire pits for each location like we're accustomed to, but I'd never been to that area of Oklahoma and now I can see why. There was a fire ban during our trip but we saw that the communal fire pit was very close by and it looked comfortable and welcoming. Even though it's right off the highway, it didn't bother us a bit and there's plenty of wilderness all around to enjoy. The views are stunning.
