We are a 400 plus acre working family ranch raising Registered Texas Longhorns. We offer homegrown steaks and hamburger for purchase during your stay. In season we offer homegrown fresh vegetables you can purchase to go with your steaks- your welcome to even pick your own. If fresh vegetables are not in season we do have a selection of salsas, jellies, and pickles made on the ranch. There are three ponds for fishing, lots of wildlife including nesting baldeagles. Bring sturdy enclosed shoes for hiking. Bring your canine friend, they will have a vacation of a lifetime. Pawhuska is only 13 miles away, if you want to let someone else cook your dinner. I recommend Bad Brads BBQ! Hope to see you soon.

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!

Had a wonderful Campsgiving at the beautiful Quail Vally Farm. Hosts were helpful and super friendly.
We tent camped, but the place seemed like it would be a lovely place for an indoor or outdoor ceremony. You can tell that the place is set up for events. There are a few nice little ponds to fish and a real nice disc golf course. We’d never played before but our host Laura let us borrow a few discs, and one of our kiddos played for hours at a hole near our campsite. There’s plenty of space to roam and hike around, the property is well maintained. We really enjoyed the local wildlife, there were so many birds!
We were especially thankful for the nice facilities. I would highly recommend this Hipcamp, for a large gathering of any kind, there’s something for everyone here.

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.

Jackson was great, and the grounds were just what I needed. We were in town for the grand departure of the Mega Mid South, and we needed a place to stage and car camp before the race. Jackson was friendly and accommodating, provided us with a fire ring and let us set up wherever we wanted. Didn't get to explore the trails, but the grounds were secluded in the woods, so I am sure they were nice. I'll be back for Mid South in March!

Incredible stay! Stop looking and book this gem right now.
Hunter had an incredible time on the Eric McCabe disc golf course, playing several rounds over the course of a 10 day stay and meeting a great group of new friends. He called it one of the most challenging and well-designed courses he’s ever played. He also caught several bass right off the bank near our campsite - just a few feet from the camper.
For my part, the Wi-Fi access was a lifesaver. We all experienced some internet hiccups during our stay, but that was due to a rare, widespread outage affecting two towers at once (per T-Mobile). Laura and Robbie went above and beyond to stay in touch and make sure I could continue working comfortably despite the issue. Once things were back online, the connection was strong and steady.
Ryan, Robbie, and Laura couldn’t have been kinder. They even offered us dinner our first night, which says a lot about the kind of people running this place. The property itself is beautiful - one of the nicest we’ve stayed at - and we were lucky enough to be there for the duck release, which was a real treat to see.
Highly recommend a stay here.

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!

Overview
About
This north-central Oklahoma park features 168 miles of shoreline around its titular lake. With over 260 sites to choose from, this is a popular camping destination.
It's best to call ahead to make reservations if possible. Hunting is a major pastime here as well. Deer and duck are the primary prizes to be had.
Kaw Lake is particularly well known as a crappie habitat. You'll also have the chance to catch sand bass, catfish and walleye in its waters. You can fish from your own craft or rent one from the Pioneer Cove marina. Kaw Lake also features two swimming beaches.
Hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking are popular activities elsewhere in the park. The Eagle View Trail serves all three purposes admirably. Take this 12-mile trip for a cliffside view of Kaw Lake. The sinuous Five Fingers Trail lets you fully explore the eastern part of the lake area.

Check water levels. They may be low due to planting for the ducks and other birds.
