Wild Nights

Wild Nights is an absolutely legendary, ruggedly immersive "camping con" that completely shatters the traditional furry convention mold! Nestled deeply into the breathtaking Robbers Cave State Park in Wilburton, Oklahoma, this strictly 18+ event completely abandons the exhausting, high-stimulation environments of massive hotel trade shows. Instead, it offers attendees a brilliant, profoundly communal return to nature.

2026: The Punk Theme

Operating over the gorgeous spring window of April 23-28, 2026, Wild Nights is embracing an incredibly fun "Punk Theme"!

The true magic of Wild Nights is its format. There are no crowded Dealer's Dens or sprawling rave halls. Instead, the weekend is entirely built around phenomenal outdoor activities like archery, hiking the stunning sandstone formations (historically used as hideouts by outlaws like Jesse James!), and massive, brilliant community cooking initiatives. The evenings are dominated by legendary fireside storytelling and acoustic social gatherings under the sprawling Oklahoma stars. This format makes it the absolute holy grail for the "feral" sub-fandom, outdoor enthusiasts, and any furry desperately seeking a highly communal detox from standard convention energy.

Getting There

Because Wild Nights is a true camping retreat, your travel logistics revolve entirely around ground transportation:

• Driving is Mandatory: The venue is completely immersed in the spectacular Oklahoma wilderness. A car is absolutely essential for reaching the site! The park is located roughly 150 miles southeast of Oklahoma City and 120 miles straight south of Tulsa.
• Carpooling Culture: Because of the remote location and the deeply communal nature of the event, organizing massive regional carpools from major Texas, Missouri, and surrounding Midwest hubs is incredibly common and highly encouraged by the attendee base.

Accommodation

You are not booking a Marriott for this convention!

• State Park Cabins: Wild Nights brilliantly secures lodging via a multi-building group campsite right inside the park. Attendees are generally housed in beautiful, rustic shared cabins that foster immediate, tight-knit community bonding.
• Pitching a Tent or RV: For the truly rugged attendees, the event fully supports bringing your own tent to sleep directly under the massive Oklahoma sky, and RV slots are frequently utilized by veterans of the con.
• What to Bring: Packing requires genuine outdoor prep! You must bring your own bedding (sleeping bags, pads), appropriate hiking gear, reliable flashlights/headlamps, massive amounts of insect repellent, and supplies to contribute to the phenomenal communal cookouts.
