Best Dispersed Camping near Medicine Park, OK

5 Reviews

Great Plains State Park Dispersed Campsite offers free primitive camping near Medicine Park, Oklahoma with lakeside locations offering mountain and water views. The camping area is actually part of an Oklahoma Wildlife Management Area adjacent to Tom Steed Reservoir. Access requires navigating rough dirt roads with challenging conditions and low-hanging branches that may impact taller vehicles.

The primitive sites lack amenities, with no toilets, drinking water, trash facilities, or designated fire rings. Campers report the difficult access is worthwhile for the secluded location and scenic views. According to one visitor, "The road is very rough, but we managed in our VW Atlas. Beautiful view of the mountain and lake. Very quiet and peaceful." Another noted, "Roads have deep ruts but worth it when you find the perfect spot." Most sites are flat and offer sufficient space for both tent and RV camping.

    Peaceful and Beautiful

    The road in starts as a paved/dirt road. Turn left before the primitive camping sign and follow the dirt road to the lake. The road is very rough, but we managed in our VW Atlas. Beautiful view of the mountain and lake. Very quiet and peaceful, and no other visitors.

    Beautiful area

    We spent a night here and it was beautiful. I loved the challenge to get to the spot. Coordinates will get you close to your turn but you have to watch for the sigh (first pic), from there just use your Maps to navigate which route you want to take. Roads have deep rust but worth it when you find the perfect spot. Water side location. No fire ring but wasn't needed. Area was clean and flat.

    Oklahoma Wildlife Management Area

    This location is an Oklahoma Wildlife Management Area, not Great Plains State Park. These coordinates get you close to the road where the WMA begins. Look for the OK WMA sign and turn. The road gets rough and has low hanging limbs that will hit tall vehicles. You can get close to the Tom Steed Reservoir with some decent views. Quiet and secluded.

    Wonderful View

    Driving thru the area and needed a spot for the night; we lucked up with this one.

    I would recommend using AppleMaps if possible; takes you right to the spot. If you are using Waze it will tell you to turn at what looks like a private driveway/road. If you have to use Waze, pass that road and take a right at stop sign, then a right at the wildlife sign. That will put you on the road you need to be on (you will turn left when you see primitive camping sign).

    As previous reviews stated; the road is rough with ruts. We were able to handle it in our Ram 3500 with tow (42 feet) but we had to take it very slow.

    If you like fishing this is a five star for you; fish jumping all night. We gave it 4 stars due to the over grown grass and mosquitoes. View and sounds were amazing.
