Best Glamping near Granite, OK

A truely interesting park. The Wichita mountains give you a sense that you can almost feel the native Indiaans. Mysterious & spiritual aura that surrounds you. We were in an electric loop with maybe a dozen other sites. Being from themidwest, not use to the barron granite mountains & scrubby little oaks. Deer & turkey were odten strolling thru our campsite, undaunted by our presence. No cell service. No water, as the recent freeze broke water pipes that weren't repaired yet. Covid shut down the bath houses.

Our loop had 30 amp, not sure is 50 was available else where ornot.

Very nice park with some dislikes. Tables & fire rings were to the rear of the site, not along the side. Also constantly windy. Very!

We needed a place to stay for the night while passing through Oklahoma. We decided to take a detour and check out this state park. We camped in December, so we practically had the entire place to ourselves. The park was full of deer everywhere!!

Some sections has nice sized campsites and some sections were literally stacked on top of each other. I can imagine this place is cramped in the summer time, but it was excellent for the winter.

The Oklahoma State Parks book indicated that there was a restaurant in the lodge. We went to the beautiful lodge to eat and received strange looks when we asked for the restaurant. Apparently they do not have one. That was a big disappointment for us, but we found a local steak joint not to far from camp.

The night sky viewing was pretty good. I wish they would upgrade their lighting to be more dark sky friendly. This would be an great location for that.

I was able to hike up the New Horizon Trail. The views were incredible! Highly recommend this trail.

I love this area, my favorite part of Oklahoma. Doris Campground is nice. It has all the amenities you could ask for with the bonus of being next to some great hiking, fishing, wildlife and more.

Bathrooms are clean and the spots are well maintained.

This so far is my absolute favorite place to camp in the northwest region of Oklahoma. At night you can hear elk. There is a variety of sites from RV, tents, and hike in sites. The park has free range elk, buffalo, and longhorn. Absolutely beautiful and has lots of sites but does fill up fast! Even in March and sometimes February!

We tent camped at Foss State Park in August 2020. We stayed at the Cottonwood campground site #6. All the tent sites were very spacious. There was a picnic table and grill and a water faucet nearby. The sites were nice and grassy and mowed. The bathroom was nice and clean with individual showers, each with their own door. So they were nice and private. Some of the old reviews mention needing quarters for the showers but they are now free. The playground was new and the kids had fun playing on it. The RV spots were a little crowded on the backside of the campground but pretty spread out closer to the entrance. We drove through the Sandy Beach campground and it seemed nice and secluded but the picnic tables were a little run down. The playground was really old too. But I think the bathroom was newer. Also, there was no sandy beach in this area. 🧐

The swim beach was nice and sandy. Much better than a lot of Oklahoma lakes. But like most lakes in Oklahoma, the water was super muddy.

There are two cabins for rent here. They looked pretty new as well. They have a marina and I believe you can rent boats but we never checked it out.

Overall, I definitely recommend Foss. It was a nice family friendly park to visit.

The Wichita Mountains is the park we frequent the most. It's only about an hour and a half from Oklahoma City and has really wonderful tourist center, trails, and campgrounds. The scenery of The Narrows, Charon's Garden, Elk Mountain, and the Holy City are wonderful. Doris Campground will fill up quickly on weekends, so reservations are suggested. Join 'Friends of the Wichitas' for exclusive tours of the private areas of the park and access to stargazing and wildlife events. Drive up Mount Scott for beautiful views of neighboring Lake Lawtonka, and wonderful sunsets.

I don’t know if it’s an Oklahoma thing but the wind was crazy making tent camping a little rough. I’m not used to what’re gnat like bug they have so plan accordingly they are attracted mostly to light but swarm both day and night. I wear a hat with a net so they don’t bother me. We were visited in our sleep by raccoons trying to get in our tent. The bathrooms have 2 shower stalls, one has a curtain and one has a low door so people can see in while you shower. If you need water bring a short hose the water options are wide open or dripping. The spaces are a good size and it is a nice clean place. Cell service is very limited going in and out of no service.

The Wichita Mountains are absolutely one of my favorite places to explore in Oklahoma, but I would only take day trips out there without camping. It wasn't until I camped at the Doris Campground for the first time that I realized how lovely their campsites are. Clean, spacious, and beautiful, with ample parking, tent pads, and grills. The nearby facilities (including showers) were clean and well-stocked, and the hot water in the showers lasted for a long time. Payment was through the honor system. I drove past a non-staffed station where I put my money and my campsite info in an envelope and slipped it through a slot in the door.

Many thanks to the staff for providing a lovely campground for both new and returning visitors alike!

Absolutely wonderful camping and hiking!! Lots of camping spots - and most were well distanced for plenty of privacy. Due to COVID all spots require pre-registration online and only self contained vehicles are permitted (all bathrooms are closed). There is no service in the park, but about 2 bars next to the Visitor’s center (which is also closed), so be sure to reserve a spot before you get close to the park. Some sites are dry and some have electric hookups. No water available due to an ongoing E. Coli issue. The camp host was really nice and stopped by both nights we were there. There were lots of hikes and we are looking forward to coming back for an extended stay. For hiking, we loved 40 foot hole (nice waterfall) and Little Baldy for sunset. Wish we had been here a couple weeks earlier because I bet the trees would have been at peak fall foliage color. We saw long horns and bison several times, but unfortunately didn’t see any prairie dogs. We heard this park is mostly used by locals (~80 miles from Oklahoma City), and not many long distance travelers hear about it. Also heard there are great mountain biking trails.

Good park lots of hiking, boating, wildlife, Nice spots,some have full hookups and some don’t,I’d go back

Would recommend anyone to go check it out. Take some cash they have peddle boats and kayaks you can rent and a little fun park with carnival type ride and water slides.

We stayed at the lodge. Nice rooms. Really good restaurant. Nice hiking trails. Haven’t stayed at a campsite though.

Ample clean lake front site. Not crowded and quiet with beautiful views.

We read a few reviews about distance between campers but we though even if full I would not describe it as a parking lot campground. The sites have green space and trees between them but the lake is superb. We are here on a Monday so there are only 4 other campers. It is peaceful and quiet. The sunset awesome. I would recommend a stay here.

Stayed at Cottonwood campground in early October. Only 2 others here. All other grounds at Foss are equally empty. Clean toilets and showers, clean sites w/ water and power. Coyotes at night. A very pleasant stay.

It’s not too far for us to get to on a weekend and yet far enough to say we got “away” The park is well maintained and rangers are very friendly and helpful. There are several areas that cater to your activities. Playgrounds, fishing docks etc. bathrooms have always been clean. Only last year we had a complaint, but it was nature’s fault- a plague of flies! The only time in years we’ve seen that. A trip to nearby Clinton Ace hardware took care of that! Lots of restaurants there as well, if you want a place to eat for a change. We’ve been there in April, May, June and July

Stayed at the Sandy Beach Campground first weekend in August for my birthday. Enjoyed the spot we had; lots of room. Couple things to mention for improvement. Would like to see the trees maintained a bit better. In our campsite, there was a fallen tree and the standing trees were overgrown and had lots of dead branches. View of the lake was very obscured. Secondly, if you're arriving after sundown, it's pitch black and the signage into the Sandy Beach area is not good. We weren't familiar with that area and it took about an hour to find our spot and get settled. Other than that, it's awesome!

Where we camped it was walking distance from the lake. The "campsite parentals" were awesome people. Our site didn't have a fire ring, so we had to ask, which was delayed in getting to us due to an accident on the lake, BUT when they did bring it down, the "campsite parentals" and the conservation agent stayed with us and kept our camping site lit with their cart lights to help with us putting up our tents at dark. So friendly and can't wait to visit again.

Very quiet no one was there very nice looking area
