About
Fawn Creek Youth Campground is a designated primitive group campground located on the west side of Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in southwest Oklahoma. The campground is reserved exclusively for organized youth groups including Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, church youth groups, school groups, civic youth groups, and university organizations. Groups must contact the Refuge Visitor's Center to verify eligibility before making a reservation. The campground consists of four group sites (A, B, C, and D) arranged on a single loop. Each site includes picnic tables, a fire ring, and a charcoal grill. Two vault toilets are centrally located. This is a primitive campground with no water or electricity available. Campers must bring all their own water supplies. Fawn Creek is within walking distance of French Lake and the Dog Run Hollow Trail System trailheads, offering quality fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and hiking opportunities. The refuge is home to free-roaming bison and longhorn cattle. Cell phone coverage is unreliable throughout the area.
