What is the best season for camping in Oklahoma?
The best time to camp in Oklahoma is during the spring or fall, before the summer heat and humidity kick in fully and before it gets too cool in the late fall. Weather can be a bit unpredictable in early spring, so it’s best to favor late April / early May as the start of camping season. The climate remains mild throughout September and into October, making fall a great camping season.

The Wichita Mountains is a wonderful area to observe wildlife, hike, and camp, and region’s Bison Trail is the longest in the refuge and offers spectacular views of the lake and surrounding area.
