Located just 25 miles northeast of Lawton, the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge was established in 1901 to help preserve and provide habitat for native bison, Rocky Mountain elk, white-tailed deer, and wild turkeys. It is one of the oldest wildlife refuges in the United States, and consists of nearly 60,000 acres of natural grasslands, small lakes and river bottoms. Today, it is home to more than 50 species of mammals, 240 varieties of birds, 100 reptiles, amphibians and fish, and more than 800 types of plants. Visitors are invited to discover and observe many of these unique species by exploring the refuge’s Visitor Center and 15 miles of nature walks and hiking trails. There are also interpretive programs and guided tours available for learning about everything from the refuge’s wildflowers to its seasonal eagle population.

This year-round campground offers a total of 90 campsites, ranging from drive-in tent and RV sites with electrical hookups, to more primitive, walk-in tent sites.

Amenities include both flush and vault toilets, a shower building, water faucets, and waste receptacles; a dump station is available near the campground entrance. Backcountry camping is available in the Charons Garden Wilderness Area. Dogs are welcome on the refuge, but must remain leashed. Campsites are available first-come, first-serve only; rates are $8–$20/night.

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.
Scout
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
ScoutNot a terrible mini spots of quality and there are permits involved which prices have changed since I went the water level is not as high as it was and there is a lack of proper upkeep
Guide
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.

Campground is getting a upgrade with concrete pads, we were on gravel, EZ in and out pull throughs.Full hook up 30 and 50 amp, did our laundry there ,nice place ,close to the hwy.

ScoutIt's all good
Guide
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
TravelerClean restrooms, nice campground

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.

We stayed here for two nights while making our way back from CA to NC. It is end of Nov. So the campground is super quiet and only a handful of people camping at the multiple campgrounds

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.
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.

Spent 9/29-10/1 at Kiowa II campground. The RV parking pads are paved and were level. The sites are spacious. Pull-through and back-in sites are available. Pull-through sites are for shorter RVs as they are a tightly curved.
The biggest drawback is that they didn't mow....even for reserved locations!!! The grass seed heads were no less than knee high. This caused us to have to park our RV at an angle on the pad to get out of the grass getting caught in our door.
Additionally, I walked to the bathroom at the swim beach and was very disappointed and amazed at the thick mature growth of sand burr sticker plants allowed along the beach. There was a strip about 4-8' wide and approximately 40-60' long at the point the beach meets the grass. The sand burr plants were also growing throughout the grass area. I WOULD NOT STAY AT THIS CAMPGROUND IF I HAD RESERVED A SPOT THERE. There appears to be no grass management at all in this area where children and adults generally would want to go barefoot. Wish I had taken a pic... :(
THEN, in different bathroom at the Kiowa II campground, I found a snake skin wrapped around the bottom of a toilet!!! This is in a bathroom with a closed door. There was another snake skin in the waste basket between the sinks. The light was also out in the ladies side of the bathroom.
TravelerI 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
Guide
I stopped in on the 23rd of September, 92 degrees some wind, lady at check in extremely friendly and helpful. Sites are spaced about 100 ft apart, lots of privacy. Very good place to spend a few days. BUT, lights out at night, bugs by the millions. I didn’t fish but a few were, didn’t see much results , too hot! Grounds are very clean and well kept, a Ranger lives on sight. Play ground for the kids.
ScoutI stayed here September 4th. Literally on labor day. It's a large campground with lots of space between most sites. It was completely silent only a handful of campers spaced way apart. Lots of spots on the water with easy access to the water. It's beautifully maintained even the bathrooms are clean. No trash this place is spotless and beautiful and quiet.
I was just going to stay a night but I honestly might stay the full 14 days. I basically have a private beach. Only problem is it's seasonal. Also I have Virizon. I had 4 bars worked fine.
Scout
Easy to book, camp host messaged us when the site was ready and gave us directions on how to get hooked up The host also sent us photos and info on things to do close by. very quiet campground, kid’s play area (our boys played at it as much as they could), trees helped keep us cool outside, grass was a little tall for my liking, but there has been storm, after storm, after rain in this area lately so that’s expected. Very nice fire pit, firewood was set up and ready to make campfire and more firewood was available if we needed it. Overall, perfect for our quick, weekend family getaway!

Went to stroud lake for honey moon it was amazing
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.
LegendStayed in April in the Otter Creek section. Almost empty. It is scenic next to a lake. Electric and water hook up. Coin showers.
GuideVery nice national park. Very clean. Lots of animals to see. Gentlemen at the gate was very knowledgeable and had all of the information about the park.
