A place carved out of history dating back over 200 years ago. This is where history welcomes you to the Cherokee culture. This land has been handed down for generations and has stayed in the family beginning on my mother’s side of the family, Mary Ann Groundhog, the fourth generation great granddaughter of Sequoyah on the “Dick” side of my family tree. My mother was heavily involved with AIM (American Indian movement). My dad was the last monolingual Cherokee. His name was Mack Vann, he was a man who loved culture and sharing it with visitors and handed down that passion to me. My hip camper site is named after my daddy, I am still a daddy‘s girl. The land originated before Sequoyah. who created the Cherokee syllabary. Sequoyah was my fifth generation great grandfather and I am very proud of my Cherokee heritage, I would love to share my culture, my tradition, and my passion with you. Learn more about this land: Come and experience the authenticity of Tahlequah, Indian country, Oklahoma where almost every resident is Cherokee, Native American, Nature at its most organic state; A place where deer run free, the sunset paints a new picture each evening with glorious colors of warmth and serenity. Away from the hustle and bustle, peaceful, and inviting. Just a short hike or drive to Todd’s access or you can swim, fish, or float down the beautiful Illinois River.

This place is always great. I bring my dog and she loves running down to the river and through the field. You can see the stars super well on the right nights and sunsets are always awesome. There’s a gas station about 5 minutes down the road where you can restock and a Walmart in Mena is about 30 minutes away. If you want an easy hike, Southern Loop Trail is a good pick around Mena — it’s part of the Earthquake Ridge Trail system just west of town, right off U.S. Highway 270 and only took about 45 mins to do.

Absolutely fantastic off grid camping in the heart of a vast trail system if you like to go atv riding and if not its a perfect place to hang out a while away from the world! We trail road some days and kayaked a park of the river right off the camp site the other days. We have stayed at both site 1 and 2 at different times and love them both.

Weekend Trip to End of the Trail

End of the trail was an amazing getaway from all the modern world. The river was right there, the site was gorgeous and had amenities I was not expecting but glad to have access to. The area was peaceful and simply gorgeous. My dogs loved the area as well and my child got to enjoy the site of cows in the field across the river.

The treehouses at End of the Trail were very cute and comfortable. Everything you need except bedding. No water though, and the porta potty was far away near Site #1. We stayed at Site #2 Freebird. The River bottom is too muddy for swimming, but the frogs, cicadas, owls, and lightning bugs made up for it. Could hear some highway noise but did not wake me up. Site #1 has a side creek that moves swifter and we rinsed off in it bc no one was there. Felt very safe. Great not to have to set up a tent.

Absolutely lovely site. Very bare bones so bring lights and a comfy bed if that’s something you care about, and the porta potty was a walk, but that wasn’t a big deal. Was a beautiful and private location, had a chance to use the kayaks and make a fire and relax on the river. 10/10 would come again, had a great time.

We spent about 5 hours just sitting in the river! So relaxing!

Took our two kids on their first camping trip! The location gave up different opportunities to camp! The lean to excited the kids. Also put the tent up! Being so close to the water was great! Great fishing for small mouth bass. The community area down to the stream was a great place to swim and wash up!

This camping location is special and unique. We enjoyed the remote feel of the riverside site. The owners clearly keep up the grounds. Good value. Positive primitive camping experience.

Weekend Trip to End of the Trail

It's so hard to find simple little places like this. I know that glamping is popular, but I prefer the cabin equivalent to dry camping for myself. y dogs and I had a great time, and the greenhouse roof on one side made the thunderstorms enjoyable; being able to see the clouds, rain, and lighting while laying back. The little deck looks out over the river. Perfect for fresh ground coffee and breakfast like we did. Not quite enough covering to sit on the bench and enjoy the rain without getting wet, though. There's also a little path from the cabin to the river if you want to swim, take a kayak, or just sit in the water to be lazy. This one of the two cabins is tucked away in the trees between the river and a circular open space for tents or outdoor games, so you have total privacy but room to play. All in all, I would definitely book this again and bring my group with me.

Really unique property with 3 camping spots spaced far apart along the river. There are also large fields with freshly mowed paths and a creek with different branches and swimming holes. We were the only campers and enjoyed being able to let our dogs run free. We stayed at Site 1, and there was (just!) enough room for two adult cots and a double bed sized futon mattress. Site is equipped with a picnic table, kayak, life jacket, nice fire pit, and grill. Great views of the stars! We wish we had packed a screen tent to put around the picnic table bc the flies were bad (as they could have been anywhere else in AR at this time of year). We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

I didn't have many camping so far, but this one was the best by far! And I don't think any other camp site could beat it at least for a long time. They had everything ready for you to enjoy, and you had an easy job to do it! They even had something for repelling the bugs from your tent. I really enjoyed my staying and definitely plan to come back but either by a bigger car or after some no rain days as my Honda accord got stuck before reaching the camp! They were so kind in helping me get out of that situation which I really appreciated.
