    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.

    Visitors to the refuge are invited to stay in the Doris Campground, located near Quanah Parker Lake. 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. There are also two group campsites, and a few ADA accessible sites. Sites are mostly wooded, and equipped with picnic tables, fire pits and cooking grills. 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.

      Breath of air

      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

      Great service and friendly people and clean.

      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

      Camp Doris

      Outer Loop Sites Almost Always Great

      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

      (71 yr olds in 17’ trailer.)

      Overall Rating: 4 for the scenery, and bathroom cleanliness. General layout of campsites is a bit of a minus.
      Price 2023: $ 11 for non electric w interagency pass

      Security: Not at night Usage during visit: Full during spring break Site Privacy: Open sites. Some back up to each other. Our site, 9 backs up to #7. Site Spacing: varies - the map in photos is pretty representative Pad surface: blacktop Reservations: Yes Campground Noise: A bit noisy during this spring break week. Outside Road Noise: None. Some campsites back up towards the campground access road. I would rather have one of these sites than any inner loop site I saw. Through Traffic in campground: No Electric Hookup: E loop Sewer Hookup: No Dump Station: Yes Potable Water Available: Yes, near the pit toilets.
      Generators: Allowed Bathroom: New and clean pit toilets in most loops . Whoever cleans the pit toilets has high cleanliness standards. . . E-loop has flush toilets. The sinks and toilets were very clean . Showers: Near E Loop. Fairly clean after a busy weekend. Pull Throughs: I didn’t see any Cell Service (AT&T): No bars at Campground. 2 bars outside of visitor center Setting: In an oak Forest. Recent Weather: 70s downtown 30s Solar: Yes, but when trees leaf out, the solar will still be available in most sites but not as great.
      Host: Not in all loops Rig Size: E loop has some larger rigs. Sites: I don’t particularly like the sites on the inside of the loops. Water view sites are circled on the map. I would be happy with these. Best sites in Loop A: 1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 13, 15. E63 is the only site I liked in the electric loop. A 7&9 are not good sites as far as privacy from each other.

      Quartz Mountain State Park Campground

      Back in business! Great State Park!

      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.

      Doris Campground

      Absolutely beautiful!

      Doris 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.

      Good Experience in Campervan

      Camped 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.

      Camp Doris

      Quaint Campground Nestled in the Mountains

      Doris 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.

      Quartz Mountain State Park

      Nice surprise!

      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.

      Nice campground. Good shade, large lots with cement picnic table, fire pit, and charcoal grill. We did not have electric or water at our unit but we were near the bathrooms/showers. Great to be right in the heart of the wildlife refuge. Easy access to all of the trailheads by car. Saw a ton of wildlife including all of the big game. The maps of the refuge aren’t all that great they could definitely be updated. Would definitely stay here again.

      One night stay passing through, 34 ft fiver.  Friendly folks that show you to your spot.  good Wi-Fi (rare).  right next to a super wal-mart, less than 5 min walk, which is  very handy.  Large and clean bath / shower house.  Pool.  Lots of Long term folks here.  The drive needs work, huge potholes, go slow for more than 1 reason. Highly recommended.

      Nice Campground

      We had a great couple of days camping here. Campground was quiet and shaded, sites were decently spread out each with table and fire ring, bathroom/shower house could use some TLC - locks on stalls were broken, floor pooled with shower water, showers good enough but no temp control - one was scalding hot, 2 were cool (which was nice in near 100 degree heat), toilets worked. The area is gorgeous with plenty of trails to explore, vistas to enjoy and waters to fish.

      Doris Campground

      Pretty area but not so pretty campground

      The area is quite pretty, but the campground is worn down and needs maintenance. Our picnic table and bench were both cracked and crumbling. The fire pit in 19 needed replacing. The pit toilets near loop C did not have doors and were totally filled up. The showers were hot and there was always toilet paper. We arrived Saturday afternoon and left Tuesday and the bathroom was never cleaned...not the floor, toilets, sink or showers. Best to bring shower shoes.

      Some ran their generators all night. Never saw the camp host.

      Nothing marked in bathroom if that water was safe or not. The outside faucets were marked as boil notice.

      I would not return to this campground.

      Cabin 3 (both late June and mid-October)

      Lake Elmer Thomas(LETRA) is a 334 acre lake located on Fort Sill in Comanche County, Oklahoma. LETRA offers a pretty nice location for recreating. Offering quite a bit for families in a limited space.                                                                                                            •A nice beach and cordoned swim area, complete with restrooms and shower house(11a-7p)…lifeguards                                                                                                          •Sand volleyball court                                                                                                             •Watersport rentals: paddle boards, canoes, kayaks, pontoon boat                                      •Mini golf course                                                                                                                         •Disc golf course                                                                                                                     •RV/Camper area                                                                                                                         •Rustic rental cabins                                                                                                                    •Random primitive tent camping                                                                                        •Fishing                                                                                                                                              •Nearby off-base hiking(Mount Scott and the Medicine Park Wildlife Refuge)              •Bicycling-ample quiet, paved road opportunities but surprisingly limited off road options 

      Tent Camping: there are no specifically designated loop or numbered site tent areas. Tenters are permitted to camp all along the lake’s edge in the grassy area. There are a few picnic tables and elevated charcoal grills(no ground fires permitted), so you may have to do without. There are also a few picnic tables under shelters, but half are in a state of disrepair and caution-taped off. Tenters cannot set up tents within the cabin rental inner circle. 

      The modern facility restrooms are across from the playground as you enter the cabin rental peninsula. Tent campers are able to utilize the shower house/restrooms in the RV/Camper section, as well as the beach areas during open hours. There is no ground cover to separate one tent from the next…all can be seen and heard. 

      RV/Camper Sites: big rigs are lined up side by side in a separate gravel loop immediately to the left of the entrance. Sites have water and electric hookups. The nicest shower house/restroom is located there. There is a small patch of grass between sites, picnic table and elevated charcoal grill. These sites are closest to the entrance, beach area, watersport rental and campground activities. 

      Cabin Rentals: log home rentals are on a small peninsula with great views of Mount Scott and Lake Elmer Thomas. At the time of this review, you must bring your own bedding linens/blankets, towels, etc. I would also recommend packing extra eating utensils, condiments and any other items that you would take camping. We rented Cabin 3, which the website says will sleep 4…inaccurate. One full size bed and a small futon will sleep two average-sized adults and one small child in marginal comfort. The table only provides two chairs, not four for two not four. I would subtract 1-2 persons on the cabins unless you count floor space. Cabin 3 was$80 nightly. 

      Painted turtles are in abundance around the lake, as are smallish ‘fist-sized’ tarantulas. Bicycling the Artillary Range perimeter roadways on base, coyote dash across in early morning hours. Note: you are on a military base, so there are a number of restrictions that you need to be aware of and abide by. 

      Additionally, the campground is positioned along the northern side of the Artillery range. Yes, you will see and hear C-Ram’s lighting up the sky randomly during the day and night hours, as well as other ordinance. I enjoyed the display and out-of-the-ordinary disruption. Think unanticipated fireworks.

The night life was busy and vocal from dusk to dawn. Bull elks bugling, mule deer snorting while running through our site, either the free roam longhorn or the bison called out to each other, the coyotes yipped and yapped, and the raccoons tried their best to scrounge up a feast. Early evening and early morning traffic noise is minimal but can be heard in the campsites. 

      Only a random artillery boom was heard in the distance.

      Prairie dog villages are a great way to spend some time enjoying their comedic antics and tight family structure.

      Trails abound, both from within the campground and nearby. We walked a few in late afternoon and the bull elk bugled relentlessly…obvious signs of rut. We did not realize how close to a lone bison we passed until we heard a noise and looked back. How a large beast could go unnoticed in the low scrub was amazing.

      We were fortunate to secure a midweek campsite but the weekend was sold out.

      Temps were in the high 40’s overnight but climbed during the day to 70’s with a beautiful breeze.

      The Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge Visitors Center was still closed. Both in June and October it was closed with varying explanations why. If you go onto FWS.gov it still has it closed from November 2015-January 2016…so that certainly isn’t current.

      Would I camp here again? Yes, However, I will research when school kids have Fall Break and avoid that weekend because it does sell completely out.

      Great Customer Service

      Check-in went smoothly and when we asked if we could make some copies for one of our games to keep score on, Theresa was more than accommodating! Very clean park. Danielle showed us to our spot and was very helpful answering questions we had.

      Where the deer and the Buffalo roam

      Electric sites with some shade. There is plenty of wildlife. We saw Turkeys, deer, longhorn in the campground loop. Just outside the loop we saw Buffalo. Only down side was the trash around the site.

      Oklahoma at its best

      Incredible scenery and wildlife.

      We were in site 47-B, which is an area that is near the lake and has electrical.  This particular site has the lake just a few steps from the camp.  These are electrical only sites.  And the water available at the campground was not potable and has been this way since 2017 per a sign.  During reservation, it was noted that bathrooms were not operational, and only self contained RVs were allowed.  That said, there were tent campers when we were there.  Note there is no cellular service in the campground.

      We found the sites to be very quiet and spread out.  There are many great sites along the lake edge beyond our loop, but these offered no electrical.  Longhorns were evidenced in our area.  We enjoyed driving over to Prairie Dog town and spending time laughing at their antics.  Since our last visit, their area has really grown and continued to spread out.  We also enjoyed visiting the Environmental Education Center for its trails and pier, as the Center was closed due to COVID.  I think our favorite area is around Rush Lake for its views and waterfalls.  Don't miss the views from atop Mt. Scott.

      Quiet and peaceful campground

      Must be self contained to stay right now. Campground host very helpful. One of the best I’ve ever met. Campsites are nice and spacious not a lot of campers during the week. Campsite overlooking the lake. Wildlife is everywhere. We watched turkeys, prairie dog and longhorn steers. There is so much beauty in this place. We enjoyed the hiking. Especially at Quanah Parker Dam. We loved learning about the cannonball architecture. We loved the reproduction of Jerusalem. Everything about this place is fantastic. I can’t think of one negative thing to say. I don’t know what the views from Mount Scott were like. There was a weather phenomenon that pushed the clouds down so you could barely see in front of your face. White knuckle moments for sure driving up and down in those conditions.

      "LETRA" on Fort Sill Base

      Military CG on Fort Sill's base. Spent 5 weeks here. Scenery and base is beautiful. It's in the Wichita Mountains near Mt Scott and Medicine Park. Clean lake with paddle boat and kayak rentals. Mini golf, beach and water slides. Nice museum and Indian Cemetaries on base. Saw geese, fox, Coyotes, Buffalo, prairie dogs and rattle snakes. All sites are pull through and fairly level. Full hookups with 30 & 50 amp service. Laundry room with 4 washers & dryers, $1 (when working). There is also a laundrette by the Commissary. Didn't use showers or restroom but checked them out. Ladies room was very dated and needs a really good cleaning.
      There are a lot of long term rvs. Some not stayed in by the owners the entire time we were there. We didn't have any issue getting the site we reserved as someone mentioned in a previous review. The staff was nice when we asked to change our site to one with a better view. Biggest con was absolutely no warning on their site that there is training going on all around the CG. If you have a Veteran with PTSD like I do prepare him/her that they shoot howitzer rounds at any given time. We had no clue and the 1st week there was a rough one for my DAV. Do not use Letra Gate. It's closed. Ignore GPS and go to Apache Gate. Better yet set GPS for Apache Gate. It's the quickest route and you won't have to drive through the busy base and narrow roads.

      Hidden gem

      Stopped here for one night. Kids immediately fell in love with the small pool and playground. Friendly staff, escorted us to our site and made sure to answer all our questions. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area. Big rig friendly, we have a 39ft 5th wheel and 2 vehicles. Sites fit us without issues.

      Wonderful Beach, Partially Closed For Construction

      When I visited the park I was very excited having seen some of the trails and also the lodge area.    Unfortunately much of that was closed as a result of improvement projects, sadly limiting some of the things which were accessible to me upon my visit.   I instead settled into a campsite and checked out the beach area.   

      The campsites were pretty close together in most loops  and because it is a very popular lake, it was a bit loud for my liking still I had shade a picnic table, fire ring and some basic amenities.   The restrooms were in decent shape but a bit outdated, a part of the improvement project is to create better facilities throughout the many loops also.  

      I enjoyed the sites which were a bit further from the waterfront itself because they seem to have less noise from trucks with loud pipes.    

      The beachfront was vast and amazing I could easily say this was what made it worth the trip.  You could walk the beach, get in the water or enjoy a picnic through one of the shaded areas.    A couple of small trails were accessible however because many were not these were very crowded also.  In addition the nature center was currently closed.

      I would like to return to this site after renovations are complete and give it another shot.  It had all the makings of being able to be a really nice place to stay and enjoy lake activities.

      Boat ramp stay

      Campground was closed. Beautiful drives and hikes, we had to spend the night and explore more. Boat ramp is public, and offers a nice walk up call in the morning (by fishermen).
