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.

Where the short-grass prairie drops into the Red River Valley, the 4R Ranch—with its magnificent vistas and rocky terrain—is perfectly suited for growing grapes. Patriarch W.C. Roper encouraged his family of sixth-generation Texans to share the beauty of this extraordinary place with others; and so it was love of this man and love of the land that inspired 4R Ranch Vineyards & Winery. Chinquapin oaks, white-tailed deer, the endangered black-capped vireo, and the occasional Rio Grande turkey inhabit this incredible property. Powered by sun, earth and wind, 4R Ranch Vineyards & Winery calls us all to slow our pace, enjoy the view, and sip a glass of wine in the magnificent Red River Valley.

The Peak stands out as a unique campground, offering a blend of natural beauty and a welcoming atmosphere created by its dedicated owners. The story of The Peak began in 1998 when Mark, an Oklahoman, and Cecilia, a Californian, embarked on a journey together. Over 25 years of marriage, they have been blessed with five children, nine horses, seven dogs, more than 30 chickens, and seven grandsons, creating a vibrant family life that enriches the campground experience.
Building The Peak from the ground up, Mark and Cecilia envisioned a place where visitors could enjoy a relaxing vacation or find a comfortable stay while working in the area. The journey has not always been smooth; the housing market crash in 2008 posed significant challenges. However, their resilience and determination have transformed The Peak into the beloved destination it is today.
Mark and Cecilia take immense pride in their work, providing camping spaces that attract guests from all over the United States. They cherish the connections made with visitors, although saying goodbye can be the hardest part of their role as campground owners. With a commitment to hospitality and a passion for the outdoors, The Peak continues to be a cherished retreat for those seeking adventure and relaxation in nature.

My family and I had a great weekend camping at site 15. Everything was clearly marked and well maintained. This site is pretty private although 14 is somewhat nearby. Also has a walking trail going through the back of it but no big deal.
Also had the pleasure of meeting Walt on our way to have brunch which was pretty cool.
Sherry was our waitress at the winery for brunch and she was exceptional, she also took the time to give us a lot of background on the ranch which was great. My family and I will definitely be back!

The host of the property was very nice, called to help me get to the property, even had offered brunch the next morning, this hospitality is extremely rare in my book, but that’s just the host, let me talk about the site, I chose original tent site 7, it was nice, had a tree in the center and somewhat tucked into the trees, gave just the right amount of a hideaway and open valley that I absolutely loved it. I absolutely love how the site was well maintained, this means not only do the campers have respect for the property, but the host does too. I would definitely consider coming back again. Maybe with a bigger tent because I managed to grab the smallest one I own. The property might be a bit out there, but the scenic drive is a win.

Amie's land was a good spot for a quick overnight stay. I had a little trouble finding it but it's literally at the corner of the cross streets she mentioned in her instructions. (Just look for the little welcome sign!) Know that you're parking amongst tall grass depending on the season and be mindful of any critters that may call such a beautifully untouched area home.

Delightful! Courtney is an awesome host! The campground is small (currently 8 sites) and no frills. Most of the other campers seem like long-term folks. All sites were neat and tidy. The campground itself is quiet. However... it is close enough to Ft Sill artillery range that firing might rattle the windows.
Wifi is provided but I didn't use it. Tmobile Home Internet had 2-3 bars 5G. Verizon was about 1-2 bar LTE. I was able to work during the day using the Tmobile.
I saw spectacular sunsets and sunrises. Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge is close. Stores in Lawton are about 30 minutes away.
This is my kind of campground. I would definitely stay again if I'm in the area.

I really loved the openess of the camping spot at Blank Canvas Hip Camp. The owner Amiee met me on the road adjacent to her property just as a huge thunderstorm was rolling in and directed me to the camp entrance. Set up my trailer on my spot just in time to watch a terrific lightning show against a vast north Texas backdrop. A great memory of my trip thru the length of Texas and one of the reasons I enjoy using the Hipcamp app so much! I would highly recommend Amies Hipcamp if your traveling thru North Texas.

This was our third time camping at 4R, and it’s honestly becoming one of our favorite traditions. The campgrounds are always clean, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. My kids love exploring the area — hiking the trails, walking the hills, and finding new little spots each time we come.
Evenings are our favorite part. Sitting around the campfire, making s’mores, and playing games in the tent once the sun goes down always ends up being the highlight of the trip. It’s such a great mix of quiet, nature, and time together without distractions.
Every visit has been consistently great, and this one was no different. If you’re looking for an easy, kid-friendly camping spot with gorgeous views, space to explore, and a warm, relaxing atmosphere, 4R Ranch is hard to beat. We’ll definitely be back.

My husband & I enjoy camping & fishing at Moneka Park. Most couples have a “place” like a restaurant or club; Moneka Park is our “place.” Primitive camping is such fun & the spot at which we usually camp is the perfect size for our tent & a fire for cooking with a path down to the water (behind the dam at Waurika Lake). There are restrooms with tall outside water faucet for fresh water to wash dishes or whatever. The scenery is beautiful & the park is not used by many people so that we’re usually alone. Great place to spend a weekend!
