Camping in Great Plains State Park

Weekend Trip to FMF Blank Canvas Campground

My daughter and I loved camping at Hippie Hill, it was such a peaceful and beautiful little spot. We stayed in the Shiloh tent - the bed was very comfy and it was so cool being able to see Mt Scott right from the camp site. And the cafe had delicious meals! I had the tacos and my daughter had some sweet potato fries, it was all amazing. :) The hosts were so welcoming and gave us helpful tips on where to paddleboard and play in the water to cool off. I would definitely go back again!

1 night at Hippie Hill

We absolutely loved camping here. We opted for the wall tent and we loved the “icy freeze” fan. In the morning there was the lightest rain, so we enjoyed the sound of the rain on the canvas, but thanks to a nice breeze, we never got too hot. It was too windy for a fire, but The Healthy Hippy Cafe had Taco Tuesday with the best jack fruit tacos I ever had! The drinks were fantastic and there was even an open mic night. Live music, great food, and a night spent in nature. I’m not a seasoned camper by any means—I’m more of a spa day girl, but this was incredible!

Overall we had a great time! The stars are gorgeous out there, and although the driving trail looked a little sketchy, it was surprisingly even ground and posed no problem for even our smallest car! Definitely would go again!

Our glamping experience had some great moments—we really enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and the unique setup. It was a fun change of pace, and we appreciated being close to nature without having to fully “camp.”

It's was beautiful and convertible. I think a little high priced for what we had. But beautiful

What a great experience! Pretty views, coyotes in the background. And right by the wildlife refuge. The camp is just behind a great little restaurant and bar. Kelly & Darrell were great hosts. It is important to recognize you are out in nature - landscape, critters, snakes are not your friends - but I felt safe and comfortable the whole trip. Loved Hippie Hill!

This was such a fun stop along the way on our road trip. The accommodations were lovely, camping but upgraded! We loved the Hippie Cafe restaurant (carrot dogs 10/10) and being able to walk to town was perfect. Medicine Park is a surprising little gem of a town. Darrell and Kelli are very friendly and accommodating. Would for sure recommend their little slice of happiness to other campers passing through 💚

We loved staying here. I can attest they are built solid. We experienced high winds while there and it held then the next night we had rain and the rain sounded so wonderful on the tent. I do recommend bring your own fan. They provide an icybreeze cooler which is great for the night. We would definitely stay again!!!! Great location to see Mt Scott. Rode my bicycle from Hippie Hill thru the refuge. Went hiking and fishing. Loved taking a shower out in nature.

Weekend Trip to Gorgeous Barn Property

Really cool place and the hosts were great.Really close to medicine park and the restaurant the hosts own is really good, the provided a portable ice filled AC for us so it wouldn’t be so hot to sleep at night and a lantern. Lots of wild life as well.

Great place for a night stop on a long road trip!

Mark

We had a great time! Tent was really cool, and the hosts were outstanding. Food and service at the cafe were excellent. We would definitely do an overnight stay there again.

Darrell and Kelli were super accommodating and very nice. We ended up staying in the Zion tent and it was great, I would definitely go back!

We had a nice weekend tent camping here. They do have their bathhouse open even though the listing says it is coming soon. It is right beside the highway so there is a lot of traffic noise. We were the only tent campers, the others were all RVs. It was a great location to get to Lawton and Medicine Park easily.

1 night at The Happy Acre

Tent camping here was a blast for the whole family. My kids loved exploring the hillside and my dogs enjoyed the patio area. The Shiloh tent was clean and comfortable and easily fit all five of us plus our two dogs at night. Kelli and Darrell were fantastic hosts who provided us with everything we needed. Plus their cafe was very welcoming had a great selection of food and drinks. The shopping area is a very short drive away, as was the animal refuge and mount Scott- all fun places to go with lots to do. I highly recommend this camp site for anyone visiting the Medicine Park area.

Easy to find, Carl was a great host, was very close to restaurants and coffee. Would stay there again!

1 night at Hippie Hill

The most friendly and accommodating hosts! Great location for a base to explore the Wildlife Refuge from. Hipcamp facilities share property with the hosts’ organic cafe. The cafe was amazing, allowed dog, had plenty of vegan options, and accommodated my food intolerances. The bed in the Shilo tent was comfortable with the softest sheets. My dog felt most welcome. Proximity to highway and cafe limits privacy a bit. Unless cafe is open, bathroom/shower facilities don’t have plumbed running water. Outdoor shower was a unique experience. The military activity during the night was disturbing (sounds of aircraft, bombing and artillery fire started after dark and was on and off until 2am). People staying in this area should be prepared for the chance of these disturbances, though the hosts said the activity was unusual for that late at night.

pretty much to what i expected. The view, the comforts of home and clean. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The food was awesome, breakfast and convivences. The only thing that i would suggest is a small water heater for the shower lol.

1 night at FMF Blank Canvas Campground

We loved our time at Hippie Hill. We have been going to the restaurant anytime we were in Lawton and finally had a weekend to stay overnight. Check in was easy and the hosts were incredible and accommodating. Even with the multiple events going on in Medicine Park, we were able to have a quiet morning and enjoy the area.

Lost track of how many times we have stayed in the last three years (I think at least our fifth), but far and away our favorite place. Easy and straight forward directions from the highway (about 10 minutes off the highway) and well worth it for the peace, quiet, isolation, wide-open vistas, and dark skies for viewing the stars. Always welcoming and responsive. Thanks again for hosting us Amy.
