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
Scout
Not 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.

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

Great spot to see some wild life and check out the Witicha mountains.

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

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.

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.
TravelerDoris Campground is a cool little campground nestled in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. There are multiple areas to camp at Doris. The easiest way to reserve a site is to goto Recreation.gov and book online (This may be the only way, a lot about the booking process has changed in the last few years) There are two main campground areas with decently spaced but also high site density just past the information hut / entrance to the campground. A is immediately on the right after the entrance, it's a non electric loop and I believe (C?) is on the left just after the A loop with a loop of electric sites. There are also primitive campsites for tents further down the road and lake sites, as well as some more isolated sites spread throughout the campground and group camping areas. There are quite a few trees in the campground, but you can also see the sky fairly well. There are restroom buildings scattered throughout the campground and several shower areas. The campsites are almost all back in if you have a rig. There is zero cell phone reception, even with a booster. Many of the rig campsites have some sort of bench / picnic table and fire rings. There is a ton of wildlife in the area, and it is very peaceful.
LegendWe did not stay here but it looks to be a few more sites than the one across the lake.
This trail has absolutely amazing views and worth the stop.
I’m glad we stopped before leaving the area.

The road to the 3 camping spots are absolutely not easy to get to. If you have a big rig I suggest you take it super slow and when the road comes to a “Y” take the left and BE CAREFUL! There was a horrific rain storm while on our stay here so this brought out the mudders! I think you’re not SUPPOSED to OHV here, but there was people who came out and tore the road up worse than when we first got here. Ruts the size of a VW.
The beach is very muddy. Not too much sand. It does not stink. There are a lot of Fish, Birds and Clams. So if need be, you won’t go hungry if stuck for a period of time.
As for the water. Water water everywhere but not a drop to drink. Bring your own water. I don’t suggest bathing in the lake but there are no signs saying you can’t.
No bathrooms but there is a hiking trail across the highway from the turn to the campground. It has a wonderful toilet and trash can that you can use for the small fee of not throwing up all over yourself over the smell of rotting fish corpses and probably other small animals. It looks neat from a distance. Do not go in there.
We walked to the little station at the stop sign about a quarter mile south. The google reviews say it’s amazing. But i beg to differ. If you need petro or a place to take a quick wee I suggest going over the bridge into town. There is no public bathroom here and the contactless pay does not work. Everything is overpriced even the fuel.
The trail. It is 13 miles ONE way, so if you decide to hike, take gear and water. It’s absolutely stunning.
We stayed the last week of November into the first week of December. The weather fluctuated but was mostly on the warm side with the exception of a few days in the 40’s.
If the road was maintained we would return. I would have given it a 5 star rating. Everything about this place is stunning. So my rating is on the road solely. It’s very difficult to access.
GuideJohn the person who runs the place is very helpful and friendly. It's a nice clean Park, easy in and out. It's on the plain side, but all the sites have concrete pads and a little bit of space between rigs. The bathrooms and laundry rooms are all clean and functional.
