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.

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!

When my husband brought me here for the first time, I started to notice all of the natural tree circles in the woods. I knew this place was magical and indeed has been. Please come and experience the energy of our forest. Our favorites include owls, deer, eagles ... to name
just a few. Come to meditate, to reconnect, relax and be STILL.
Learn more about this land:
Pitch a tent in the lovely Pottawatomie County in Oklahoma. We have created a wonderful site in the middle of the forest for you! Lovely oak trees as far as the eye can see, barred owls, deer, hundreds of species of birds. Feel free to explore in designated areas (ask me about other areas outside your campsite), feel nature's rejuvenating energy and be in our sacred space. The site is walk in only, about 100 yards, so bring your wheel barrow or cart, although the property is 15 acres in its entirety, the campsite is on about a quarter acre with one large central site and a few alcove sites. We do have neighbors up the hill, but there is NO Visual of these houses. Sometimes neighborhood kids ride their 4 wheelers down our road and use our cul-de-sac to turn around, and you might occasionally hear them, but you can't see them and they can't see you, but most of the time it's very quiet.

Loved our night on Glenns land. We arrived later than expected but finding the spot was easy. Plenty of flat ground. Gorgeous views. Felt perfectly safe and private.
At night there was a chorus of frogs by the water which was wonderful to fall asleep to.
In the morning there was a nice heard of turkeys roaming which was so cool to see.
Id definitely recommend staying here and would love to come back.
Glenn came by to check on us in the morning too. Super kind!

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!
