Spent one night here. Pretty much right on the Tom Steed reservoir so fishing and boating is an option. Space was fairly level and had both electric and water. $25 per night. They do give a small senior discount. Standard park restrooms and showers. All the sites had picnic tables and firings. Great hiking trails nearby also. We were there on a weekend and it was pretty full.

It's a good little spot on the edge of town to go eat lunch, do some thinking, or fish for fun. Around the holidays it lights up and is just an all around good place to go for free
GuideBeautiful. Well worth it
Traveler
The roads a little rough but it’s free with great views

Everything that is said is spot on. Convenient for an overnight pull off when you are putting on the miles down the interstate. $12 per night, honor system. Electric was fine at our site. A bit confusing following Apple Maps in. Brough us in through the exit, late at night. Didnt find the pull throughs which were nicer, (fewer goat heads). Showers were too sketchy for me to indulge and that says something. Really nice city park for that morning or evening walk to get the kinks out.

Wonderful spot. We stayed for 3 nights, view of Mount Scott was amazing. Had our 2 golden retrievers with us and they loved the lake. Lots of fun! Be sure to take a drive out mount scott and check out the parallel forest!
RangerOur April stay was great, used it as a base camp for the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.
Our site was a pull thru with FHU. This time of year, the campground was maybe 33% full. Staff was great, the grounds are clean. Very windy at times, probably normal for the area. I'd stay again.
ScoutEverything you need for rvs and camping Pull in hook up have a shower Picnic tables Lovely and quiet Leave you $12 dollars by the entrance Dump before you come in at the designated area at the side of the road Wish there were more of these around
ScoutIt's all good

First stop on this tour from Dallas TX to New Mexico and back
I had choosen this place out of location ,it has a walmart in walking distance.
We got delayed from start of pickup our RV and got here a lot later then we had intended, so I wrote the owner a message and she answered rapid how to find it and where to find our paperwork.
We found the spot and got settled and went into bathrooms that was the most clean bathroom I have ever seen in a campground.
Slept a good night sleep and had some things we needed to fix on the RV rental and here the owner is very happy and good to help out and had the parts we needed.
And then we was off again

Doris CG, Wichita Mnts, OK: This park was a pleasant surprise. The hiking was splendid and much better than expected. The visitor center deserves at least an hour of time. Fabulous. (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good

Great spot to see some wild life and check out the Witicha mountains.
GuideCame to enjoy the stars, clear skies and of course bright full moon! Ha hardly could see any stars , but was still very enjoyable to set and look at the sky.!

This park was turned back over to the state in 2020 and is exactly how I remembered it from the 80’s. Tucked down in southwest Oklahoma in the Wichita Mountains, it’s a small park but has LOTS of options. There are RV and tent Campgrounds, cabins, a very modern lodge with 96 rooms, group pavilions, and a dormitory. There’s a full restaurant, ORV trails, hiking trails, a river and a lake. Something for everyone.
We stayed in the Mountain View campground which has concrete pads and didn’t have to level our rig at all. Electric and water and steps to the flush bathroom that has a shower in it. It backs up to the lake berm and has a view of one of the mountains. Not much cover but we didn’t need it as it was cloudy during our stay. LOTS of stickers. Beware especially if you have long haired dogs.
TravelerVery good city campground.
GuideReally nicely kept campground with lots of friendly staff. The night sky was incredible.
GuideWe had some issues with fire ants at our campsite, the lights around the bathroom attracted a hellish number of bugs. Spots were well spaced. The picnic shelters were awesome. The camp hosts were very friendly and responsive.
LegendDoris is in the middle of Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge, there is zero cell phone service but we got our Starlink to work perfectly. We stayed in 40c which had no hookups but was an enormous site with lots of privacy. Fairly level site, concrete table, huge fire pit and grill. Spots are very well maintained and this site backs up to Lake Quanah Parker. Little Baldy trail can be hiked directly from the campground. New shower and bathroom house.
100% will be back. Fantastic educational visitors center. You MUST drive up Mt Scott but it’s scary. Wonderful short hikes.
Free roaming bison, longhorns, wild Turkey, etc.
RangerNice quiet little park. Have water and electric for $12….can’t beat that price
Traveler
I love coming here. So beautiful. Never busy a great place to take the dog and just go for a walk or take your ATV and just go off roading or just go for a swim. Trust me you'll enjoy it

Super easy registration, check in. Great WiFi and nice amenities. We had a huge end spot with great access to everything. On our path to the coast and I’d definitely stop here again.
ScoutThey pretty much had all the essentials! Electric, water, and a place to dump & trash bins close. Swimming pool to cool off. Which was nice since it got up to 108 degrees just today. A couple of small ponds to boot!👍
LegendNice park aside from crazy summer heat and bugs. Great view of stars on clear night with little moonlight.
LegendCamped in site 36, loop C, mid-May. Large campsite; lots of trees. Short path behind site leafs to Quanah Parker Lake. No connections. Water pump nearby; water was good quality. Restroom/shower house located at beginning of loop. Other restrooms were closed for renovation. The restroom/shower house is old & needs updating. Campsite was clean. Firewood available near campground entrance. Excellent hiking opportunities nearby. Separation between sites in this loop is good but little privacy. Campground host was friendly & helpful. Enjoyed staying in this old campground & exploring the refuge. Little to no AT&T and T-Mobile service.
ScoutFür den Preis ein guter Platz.
Traveler
Great little place and quite. Tent camping by the water. Bathhouse is clean and a little walk but worth the hot shower. For $15/ night. Go eat at Janice’s for any meal.
