The Craterville Park Cabin is named in honor of the legacy founded by Frank S. Rush a hundred years ago when he opened Craterville Park two miles north of our location at The Lazy Buffalo. Craterville Park produced generations of memories and offered recreation and entertainment like nowhere else in Oklahoma at the time.
Nestled at the foothills of the Wichita Mountains, The Lazy Buffalo has 13 uniquely themed Cabins. The Craterville Park Cabin accommodates 2 guests with a comfy king bed, a plush loveseat, and a full bathroom with a large walk in tiled shower accented with glass blocks. Knotty pine and corrugated tin are used throughout the spacious cabin. Dark stained concrete floors and tin ceilings really add a rustic yet elegant touch. Interior photos coming soon! Grand opening March 19, 2023!!
This Cabin is handicap accessible. Please message for complete details.
The kitchenette area has a mini fridge and microwave along with table and chairs. Sip on a cup of coffee from the front porch or have a picnic in our outdoor pavilion area complete with charcoal Grill.
When it gets dark, roast marshmallows at the outdoor fire pit or relax under the stars in the back of our vintage star gazing truck, located just a short walk from the cabin.
Both kids and adults will love tossing horseshoes, throwing Frisbees at disc golf, playing old fashion board games from the front porch, and creating music in nature at the interactive Music Wall. Don't forget to snap memories at our themed photo ops.
Opened March 2023, the Craterville Park Cabin is part of our newest addition at The Lazy Buffalo. Frank Rush III kindly loaned original photographs, brochures, posters, and other memorabilia for this Cabin. Frank is the grandson of E. Frank Rush who founded Craterville Park in 1923 with a goal to preserve the cowboy and Indian heritage of the area. Over the years, this dude ranch became known as "The Playground of Southwest Oklahoma." We are honored to be able to share a bit of the Craterville Park history with our guests.
The Lazy Buffalo is just three miles from the entrance to the Wichita Mountains. The Wildlife Refuge preserves 59,000 acres of mixed prairie grass, ancient mountains, lakes, and streams. Herds of bison, longhorn, and elk can be seen roaming free and there's endless recreations opportunities such as fishing, bird watching, mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, and kayaking.
A paved bike lane joins our property and runs throughout the Wildlife Refuge. At less than a mile from the original Quanah Parker’s Star House and minutes from Lawton Fort Sill and historic Medicine Park, there's plenty to see and do nearby.
