Amie's land was a good spot for a quick overnight stay. I had a little trouble finding it but it's literally at the corner of the cross streets she mentioned in her instructions. (Just look for the little welcome sign!) Know that you're parking amongst tall grass depending on the season and be mindful of any critters that may call such a beautifully untouched area home.

Delightful! Courtney is an awesome host! The campground is small (currently 8 sites) and no frills. Most of the other campers seem like long-term folks. All sites were neat and tidy. The campground itself is quiet. However... it is close enough to Ft Sill artillery range that firing might rattle the windows.
Wifi is provided but I didn't use it. Tmobile Home Internet had 2-3 bars 5G. Verizon was about 1-2 bar LTE. I was able to work during the day using the Tmobile.
I saw spectacular sunsets and sunrises. Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge is close. Stores in Lawton are about 30 minutes away.
This is my kind of campground. I would definitely stay again if I'm in the area.

We had a quick one night stay booked at the last minute. Courtney was really responsive to our messages and questions. The campground was cute and well-maintained. The gravel pad we had was level so no fuss with leveling our RV. Very quiet night’s sleep out in the country.

I really loved the openess of the camping spot at Blank Canvas Hip Camp. The owner Amiee met me on the road adjacent to her property just as a huge thunderstorm was rolling in and directed me to the camp entrance. Set up my trailer on my spot just in time to watch a terrific lightning show against a vast north Texas backdrop. A great memory of my trip thru the length of Texas and one of the reasons I enjoy using the Hipcamp app so much! I would highly recommend Amies Hipcamp if your traveling thru North Texas.

Darrell and Kelli were outstanding and welcoming hosts — attentive to needs, offering fantastic sightseeing information, and above all being friendly as all get out. Cooler weather camping is a breeze with *the* coziest diner at the bottom of the hill. Will certainly be back.

Honest review. Darrel was amazing. Wears a lot of hats and makes sure we are taken care of. He suggested to use the restaurant bathroom from 30 min before open to 30 minutes after close. During the night there are camping toilets in private rooms behind the restaurant. Not my favorite but they have long open hours so it really is for just in the middle of the night use. We decided not to cook but there were grills available outside. Had a few common seating areas for watching sunsets and sunrises. Common campfire that Darrel started and provided wood for, himself. We ate all our meals at the cafe. They are very considerate of food allergies preferences no sugar or lots of sugar if needed. Full bar, the chocolate drop martini was delish. Coffee was awesome. Had almond and oatmilk low sugar. Healthy choices from quinoa, black bean burgers house cut fries, latino favorites like hueve rancheros, teas, yerba mate, beer. Turmeric lattes. Very fresh tasting and yummy. They had real egg or imitation eggs or “cheggs” also had real chicken or crushed chickpeas in the quesadillas. Lots of choices. Servers were prompt and kind. The room was cute in decor, bed was comfortable and I have lower sacrum problems and it didn’t hurt to sleep on it. I was hoping there would be a tent heater but there was not one so we used the blankets that were very comfy on the bed and an extra sleeping bag and was very cozy. The tents did have condensation. Thank you for the great stay

An authentic opportunity for a stand out adventure can be discovered in Southestern Oklahoma at The Healthy Hippie Cafe within the charming town of Medicine Park! Well said that it is a full sensory experience set in the parameters of the wildlife refuge where both primitive and canvas tent dwellers can enjoy the beauty of the surrounding hills and view of Mt. Scott upon sunrise. A lovely trail ascends to a panoramic perspective of the historical towns settings. We heard coyotes calling out after sundown, the lovely fall breezes passing through the tent windows, the brilliance of the stars, and even a hooting owl passing by!
We traveled here to celebrate our youngest son's 6th birthday. He enjoyed every minute of it! The hosts, Darrell and Kelli are super personable and make themselves readily available. This little piece of property is set off the main road adjacent to The Healthy Hippie Cafe. However, with the exception to the minimal passing vehicles in the earlier evening and some talented musicians that could be heard in the distance, all was brought solely to the sounds of nature alone soon after. We slept in the Shiloh tent. It was spacious and the bed was comfortable. Bathrooms are available and an outdoor shower if that suits you.
We started our morning with a short hike on the property and breakfast in the Cafe. Super! The bar provides many fantastic options. GREAT coffee! REAL food! Ambiance is legit. This place is crushworthy. Thank you, Darrell & Kelli!

Weekend Trip to Hippie Hill
I really enjoyed my stay at Hippie Hill! I booked the Zion Tent for my first night of my stay in the Wichita Mountains. I had never been to the area and it was nice to have a stay in town to get the lay of the land before venturing into the park. The bed was super comfortable, and the tent was nice and warm and protected me from the heavy winds. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. It is right in the center of the town and the cafe provided a delicious meal and coffee before I started out on my hike the next day. My only critique is that the guest outhouse was locked overnight, but I was able to use the cafe bathroom during business hours. There is some road noise so it’s not necessarily a secluded sort of experience. But it was nice to enjoy a soft bed after a long day of travel before camping the next 2 nights! Again the owners and the cafe were really nice. I’d definitely recommend this spot for someone who wants to enjoy Medicine Park during their trip to the Wildlife Refuge.

It was a lovely place, though the drive ways were quite narrow. Our trailer is 28 ft and would be workable, but a longer one may be challenging, depending on the driver. However, because of the proximity of cellular, radio transmission towers and a wind farm, my wife was unable to stay as she is highly sensitive to both EM band radiation and high voltage electrical fields. It's unfortunate because the host seems genuinely wonderful and the area was really nice. I did not have a reaction and think I would have slept very well, but my wife did and couldn't stay in the area, so I would recommend it for anyone who is not EM sensitive, but not for anyone who is.

I really liked this place for many reasons. The location was great. Far enough from the town medicine park to get away from live music and people talking but you’re a hop skip and jump from freshly made coffee, healthy tasty breakfasts and and bag of ice to keep your cooler stocked. There a very large covered patio to protect you from heavy rains and also you can hang out inside until the storm passes through. This place is special because the customer service is always there constantly checking in with you to make sure you’re doing ok. I would also add that Darrell is a ninja when it comes to topping off your coffee. Somehow me managed to get in there undetected while I was siting in my chair and reading a book on the patio. Didn’t realize until he was long gone and back behind the bar. Darrell and Kelli are one and the same. You can definitely tell that they care and that makes all the difference in the world when choosing where to go and spend your money!

I stayed with Carl and Stacy on my bicycle trip across the US. Upon arrival I was greeted by Carl. He was super accommodating and made sure I had everything I needed. I had a wonderful night rest at Happy acre. I highly recommend staying with Carl and Stacy.

Had a blast camping on Darryl and Kelli’s land. The Healthy Hippie is right there, super convenient, and the fire pit was already stacked with wood, made life easy. If you go, hike the Fish Trail. It zigzags uphill and the view at the top of Medicine Park and the wildlife refuge is unreal.
One of my favorite spots in southwest Oklahoma, hands down. Highly recommend.

Overview
About
The name Great Plains State Park might conjure up images of flat, monotonous grassland which could be a little yawn worthy for some. Well, surprise! This park is anything but boring and actually has mountains, a lake, and very diverse terrain! You’ve got the Wichita Mountains on one side with hiking and mountain biking trails, as well as the boulder fields which are great for rock climbing. Then you have Tom Steed lake on the other side with 31 miles of shoreline for all your swimming and boating endeavors. You could even catch a fresh fish for dinner, head over to the large and well equipped camping area, and grill that baby up. Afterwards kick back, enjoy a golden hour sunset, and sleep under the stars. See, the opposite of boring!
