About Wild Nights
Wild Nights is an annual furry camping convention at Robbers Cave State Park in Wilburton, Oklahoma, first held April 23 to 27, 2009. It was organized by the Wild Nights Mid-South Events and Social Association (WNMESA), a membership-based 501(c)(7), after Oklacon's organizing body dissolved, and kept Oklacon's outdoor format, many of its events and its charity. Activities include archery, a "Predator & Prey" game, hiking, bonfires and a variety show. Lodging is in a multi-building group campsite with cabins, or in tents and RVs, and the convention has no official dealers' den, though attendees may vend on-site.
