Furry Retreat 2026 is scheduled for Oct 28-Nov 2, 2026 in Wilburton, United States.
Furry Retreat is an 18+ furry campout held inside Robbers Cave State Park near Wilburton, Oklahoma. Running since 2015, it trades panels and dealer halls for a relaxed, community-run week in the woods where the attendees themselves make the schedule.
Furry Retreat returns October 28-November 2, 2026 at Robbers Cave State Park's Group Camp Two, with the core program running Thursday through Sunday and an optional Monday overnight. There's no fixed lineup by design, activities are hosted by campers on a shared board, and a day pass runs $25 on-site. Full registration opens closer to the date through the official site.
Furry Retreat is the opposite of a big convention. It's a small, self-organized campout where, as the organizers put it, "it takes a village", everyone brings food, shelter, and time, and the weekend's activities come from the attendees themselves. Set inside a scenic Oklahoma state park steeped in outlaw legend, it offers campfires, shared meals, and standing traditions like Fajita Friday and Board Game Nights. For 18+ furries who want nature, downtime, and a tight community over a packed program, it's a long-running, low-key escape.
By air: The nearest larger airports are Tulsa (TUL) and Fort Smith (FSM), with Oklahoma City (OKC) further out; Wilburton is in southeastern Oklahoma.
By car: Robbers Cave State Park is about five miles north of Wilburton on State Highway 2. A car is essential, and the event is built around camping on-site.
By transit: Public transit to the park is impractical; plan to drive or arrange a carpool through the convention's community channels.
