Hippie Hill? More like Hippie Haven
Excellent glamping accommodations up there at Hippie Hill. You can watch the sun set over Mt. Scott right from your front steps, or from the viewing platform. Need a bite to eat or an espresso to get you moving? There's an affiliated restaurant with a scratch kitchen and amazing coffee.
Darrell was an incredibly attentive host, and clearly takes his role of host to heart. This attitude permeates all the staff of the adjacent Healthy Hippie Cafe. Everyone seemed like old friends newly met. I can't say enough positive things about the folks there.
The tent was great. Modern. Well appointed. It was a great experience all around. Darrell even went so far as to provide a battery operated ice air conditioner, a bluetooth speaker/flashlight, and a rechargeable fan.
If you're lucky, you can hear the elk calling in the hills in the mornings, or the coyotes yipping in the evening.
The entrance to the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge is just up the road. This might be the closest accommodations to the entrance, and all that this amazing place has to offer (Don't hold me to that though, maybe there's some place closer that I didn't see.). An easy hiking trail connects the facility to the Medicine Park Aquarium.
10/10 would stay (and eat, and explore, and relax, and hang out) again.
