Fawn Creek Youth Campground

Fawn Creek is a designated youth group campground, available only to organized youth groups. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, church youth groups, school groups, civic youth groups, and university organizations and clubs are examples of qualifying groups. Worn by time and nature, the Wichita Mountains loom large above the prairie in southwest Oklahoma — a lasting refuge for wildlife. Situated just outside the Lawton and Ft. Sill area, Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge preserves approximately 60,000 acres of mixed grass prairie, ancient granite mountains, and fresh water lakes and streams for the benefit of wildlife and the American people. Best known for its roaming herds of bison, longhorn and Rocky Mountain elk, it also offers quality wildlife-dependent recreation including fishing, bird watching, wildlife photography, hiking, camping and kayaking. Fawn Creek is a primitive campground on the west side of the refuge, within walking distance of quality fishing, canoeing, kayaking and hiking. The Dog Run Hollow Trail System trailheads and French Lake offer visitors hours of outdoor recreational activities. The campground has 4 group sites located on a single loop. Each site has picnic tables, a fire ring and a charcoal grill. Centrally located in the campground are 2 vault toilets; there is no water and no electricity. Explore ancient granite mountains. Find yourself in a cedar forest. Dare to discover wide open spaces and fresh water lakes meant to support wildlife like the American bison and Rocky Mountain elk. The whole refuge is a short drive away, so head up Mount Scott or hang out at Prairie Dog Town, and bring your fishing pole, a set of binoculars, or your camera.
