Near Cache, Oklahoma, RV campgrounds offer varying levels of accessibility for outdoor enthusiasts. Located in southwestern Oklahoma with average summer temperatures exceeding 90°F, this area features mostly flat terrain with proximity to the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. Campgrounds in the region typically remain open year-round with electrical service considered essential during summer months.
What to do
Hiking trails and wildlife viewing: The Military Park Fort Sill Medicine Creek RV Park provides a convenient base for nature exploration. "Within a few miles of the campground is amazing fishing and hiking. If you drive to Witchita Mountain Wildlife Refuge you may see elk, bison, Longhorns and deer. The hiking trails are great and worth the visit," notes Kathi V.
Fishing opportunities: Multiple water access points near campgrounds provide fishing options. At Lake Lawtonka East Campground, campers can set up directly by the water. "We stayed for 3 nights, view of Mount Scott was amazing. Had our 2 golden retrievers with us and they loved the lake," reports Kelsey S.
Visit historical sites: Fort Sill offers military history attractions. "This campground is on the base, but so quiet," explains a visitor. Non-military visitors can still access the area: "If you don't have a military ID you can stop at the visitor center and get a pass for your stay," advises Rosemary M.
What campers like
Affordability: Many campgrounds offer reasonable rates compared to other regions. Wichita Bend RV Park maintains low nightly fees. "Great little campground. Super clean. Felt safe. 30 and 50 amp. Honor system to pay. Connected by walking bridge to great park area with waterfall," writes Stacey L.
Mountain views: The landscape provides scenic vistas not typically associated with Oklahoma. "Wonderful spot. We stayed for 3 nights, view of Mount Scott was amazing," shares Kelsey S. Another camper adds, "Setup directly next to the lake and had a great view of Mt. Scott at sunset!"
Recreation areas: Local parks connect to some campgrounds via walking paths. "Mountain bike and running trails right from park. Also nice river walk and park next door," reports lenny M. Another visitor mentions, "There is a bridge that would have been neat to explore, unfortunately we were rained out and didn't get the chance."
What you should know
Reservation systems vary: Many campgrounds operate on first-come, first-served basis with self-pay systems. "Pull in and park. Pay $17 in drop box. 30-50 amp available with water," explains a camper about Wichita Bend.
Limited stay durations: Some parks restrict length of stay. "There is a max stay of 72 hours @ $17 a night. Sites have water and electricity. There is also a dump station," notes Elaine F.
Road noise considerations: Several Wichita Falls RV Park reviewers mention traffic sound levels. "Park was clean and nice. Has some shade in most sites, some more than others. Some road noise," states Karen B. Similarly, for areas near highways: "It's right next to the highway so there is road noise."
Bathhouse availability: Bathroom facilities vary significantly between parks. "The bathrooms and showers were awesome," reports a visitor at Pecan Grove RV Resort, while another notes about a different location: "No restrooms for the primitive camping areas. Both of them have only portable outhouses."
Tips for camping with families
Storm safety precautions: Pecan Grove RV Resort offers important weather protection. "Propane on site, wifi, dog run, showers/bathrooms, laundry, & storm shelter," mentions Katelyn A. This makes it suitable for families concerned about severe weather common in Oklahoma.
Child-friendly amenities: Some parks offer recreational areas specifically designed for younger visitors. "No playground for kids, but load up and go down to the rec area for picnicking, swimming and playground," suggests Ashley H.
Spacious sites: Larger camping areas allow for games and activities. "A great view and plenty of room for outdoor games," notes one visitor about Lake Lawtonka. Another mentions, "For being a RV park, the spaces were not right on top of each other like some parks are."
Wildlife education opportunities: The nearby refuge provides learning experiences. "If you drive to Witchita Mountain Wildlife Refuge you may see elk, bison, Longhorns and deer," shares a camper, making this an excellent educational opportunity for children.
Tips from RVers
Hookup positioning: At Buffalo Bob's RV Park, sites accommodate larger vehicles. "Very clean with both pull thru and back in sites. It was perfect for being near family for the holiday," reports Kim S. Another RVer notes, "All the sites have concrete pads and a picnic table."
Electric adapter needs: Several parks operate primarily with 50-amp service. "All RV sites are 50 amp, so bring an adapter for your 30amp rig," advises a camper at Lake Lawtonka East.
Water hose requirements: Utility placement can require additional equipment. "Several sites have water and power at the pavilion, but many you will need about 60' of water hose," explains Ashley H.
Site orientation consideration: Campers recommend checking hookup placement when selecting sites. "Make sure you have a long electric cable. Service was on the wrong side if you want to face the lake," warns Mimi B.
