Amazing spot. They really made sure there’s everything you could need at the site. The river is beyond beautiful. The pavilion had all the extras one could need and more. We had an amazing time and will be back as soon as possible in Spring. I even had a dead battery in my car as we were trying to leave and Daniel came to the rescue to give me a jump start. Best Hipcamp we’ve been to yet!

We absolutely loved our stay here! Our three dogs had the best time exploring and going on endless “snifaris” (aka sniffing safaris) — so many new smells, trails, and riverside adventures to enjoy.
The campsite itself is stunning — the flowing river is perfect for swimming or just relaxing beside, and we spent the evenings by the firepit grilling and listening to the water. The open-air pavilion with lights and power made cooking and hanging out super comfortable, and the hammocking area overlooking the river was an unexpected favorite.
Daniel, the host, was amazing — incredibly responsive and friendly. When we messaged about grabbing a little extra firewood (we’d packed light, knowing some would be available) and mentioned that one of the water faucets wasn’t shutting off fully, he replied right away and had it sorted quickly.
Between the peaceful scenery, the great amenities, and how close it is to both trails and a convenience store, this place truly has everything — adventure, comfort, and calm. We can’t recommend it enough. Whether you’re coming to unwind by the river or explore the surrounding trails, this is one Hipcamp you don’t want to miss!

This was my second time staying here and everything I said in my first review still stands. A great location to explore Ozark National Forest from.

This is a beautiful spot with complete privacy. All the services were easy to access and worked well. The covered pavilion was wonderful touch, and access to the river was easy. The host was very attentive, responding to questions almost immediately. We would recommend this to everyone!

I would recommend it as it is a restful, country spot to enjoy. However, check to make sure the water problem has been fixed. We had no water while we were there. Justin was very attentive to our needs and communicated well.

Heavener Runestone is breathtaking! This is our third time, and not our last! We even golfed at nearby Wolf Mountain, on a very well maintained golf course. Clean bathroom and shower house. We found this campground 4 years ago, and have built it into our travels. Highly recommend!!

Enjoyed the short walk to the creek and the Mulberry river! Great little spot not to far off the beaten path. Lewis was nice enough to check in and bring us some extra firewood. Thanks again!

The campsite was perfect. Daniel provided firewood and came by to be sure we had everything we needed. Very nice guy! The river was a little low so kayaking was confined a bit. There is a cabin on the property but it was a good ways away and vacant while we were there so we had total privacy. It was very peaceful but I do want to mention that there are animals nearby that made lots of noise. A rooster likes to crow during the day and we heard a donkey in the evenings. Was not annoying to us, but it might be to some so I wanted to mention. But the campsite is worth it with the kitchen area that has a mini fridge and a working sink near the picnic table. Swings and a hammock area set up made it so nice!! We loved it! Would recommend and will go again!!!

We enjoyed our stay here! The hosts, Daniel and Laura stopped by shortly after we arrived to make sure we had everything and check in went smooth. They were welcoming and friendly. Daniel offered to refill our wood if we should use all that he provided. We had access to a canoe, kayaks, a pavilion with a picnic table, electricity, mini fridge, grilling area for charcoal. The site was well maintained and easy to level. No issues with full hook ups or getting in or out of RV area with our 33ft trailer. Beautiful flowers and sounds of nature throughout the property. Area was surrounded by trees and had plenty of shade or sunny spots to choose from. Neighbors are near by, but it was far enough away and natural barrier of trees made it feel private and secluded. Pet friendly and enough space for our great dane to get out all his zoomies and then cool off in the river. We enjoyed fishing and caught several varieties of fish during our stay.
We did spot some Poison Ivy growing up a nearby tree, notified host, & he said he'd have it removed. Host is also in process of building a bath house so that will be an added perk, once it's finished, of an already wonderful piece of property. If we are ever in the area in the future, we'd love to stay here again.

This was my second time to camp here. It was just as wonderful as the first time. Amazing place for dogs to be off leash and kids to play all day. Beautiful views very peaceful, it felt like we were the only ones for miles. All three kids have asked to return a couple times a year, they prefer it over other places we have taken them.

I absolutely loved this spot! Our dogs loved being off leash and swimming, the gazebo was wonderful and the water was peaceful. Daniel communicated very well, even went above and beyond warning us of a storm on the way. Will definitely be back! Such a slice of paradise.

Wow! What a quiet and peaceful space. Exactly as advertised. We saw some really cool wildlife and liked the proximity to the water. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet and private Ozark campsite.

My family absolutely loved camping here! It was secluded enough to be peaceful and relaxing and you could hear all of the wildlife come out at night. We are very picky about where we camp with our dogs because they tend to get overly excited and don’t do well around a bunch of other camp sites, and this was the perfect place for them to be off leash and explore. There are neighbors relatively close to the site, but you couldn’t even tell they were there. The canoes and hammocks were a huge plus, along with the fire pit!! We would love to plan another trip here and stay longer!

Our family of 5 had a great experience camping here. Plenty of shade to hang out under and the river was very refreshing. I loved that he had a pavilion to hang out along with swings and fire pit. My kids had fun kayaking around and catching fish. We also visited the Cossatot Falls (90 min drive), totally worth it!!

Lewis’ site was a gem. Loved the privacy and the stream near by was the highlight. He was able to get us firewood that was ready before we arrived and it lasted us our whole stay. Great memories made with me and my 3 boys (and the dog!).
