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.

The property is surrounded by forest on all sides. It is pretty quiet here. You will here a few of the neighbors dogs, owls at night and crickets during the summer months. The neighbors keep to themselves but they are all friendly if you happen to see them. There is a fire pit when conditions are acceptable for fires. In the evenings the deer come out into the open to graze. You will love it here!

At the edge of a small town in Oklahoma, plenty of space to look out over hayfields, lounge in one of our hammocks, sit around the fire, watch chickens, ducks, and geese, and maybe lend a hand to one of our varied farm projects. Permaculture-based polyculture market garden that sells organic veggies and herbs. A few miles from Twin Bridges State Park has RV dump station. The town is walkable and there are plenty of our bikes you can use. The main parking area will have some lights from the neighbors and 2 lane highway, but also have private areas to set up a chair or hammock. Behind the hedgerow (to the North) there's a mowed areas for a tent. There's also a tree platform. A train runs through town about 10 x day and night about 5 blocks away. There's capacity for leaving your trash/recycling here (I have to pay for weekly pick-up but rarely is my bin full), there's also washer/dryer that can be used (within reason)

We have 15 beautiful acres of different terrain, with tree line surrounding the property; the forest area is great for our tent campers with multiple areas of seclusion and great stargazing. Great area to walk around and explore the wildlife or the guinea hen and turtles we have on the property. For our self-contained RVers we have various areas to utilize the grass but yet still close to shade, some with picnic tables, fire pits and some without but we are growing into those features for all sites. These areas also have great star gazing and pretty secluded. Self-contained RV sites can fit up to 45' RV, we ask that if you are towing you remove your vehicle prior to going into the site areas. We also have areas with concrete if you prefer to stay there also suitable for over 45'. Regardless of the site we have some communal fire pits to use and wood for a small fee. We have a porta potty in a privacy tent for those tent campers and can be moved closer to sites if needed. We added 2 electric spots 50/30 amp hookups both are full sun great star gazing at night. Neither area has table or firepit as of yet. Animals are welcome but we ask they stay on a leash. We have spotted several turtles on the property, and we have free roaming guinea fowl to help keep down on the pesky bugs. We do have mosquitos, tics etc. on the property so please come prepared. We have a 13,000 sq ft building with Military Surplus, flags, FREE morning coffee and a small vending machine with drinks, snacks and ice cream in freezer 7 days a week 9am to 5pm. We do have locked gates after hours, so please let us know if you need a gate code. We make it easy to get in and out of the property with three entrances/exits and large enough for big rigs to pull in. We are on US HWY 60, aprox. 1.5 miles West of Indigo Sky Casino and a short 3 miles from River Bend Casino and Twin Bridges State Park. We are close to Grand Lake which is a premier fishing location and host top professional fishing tournaments here. Grand Lake is great for Large Mouth Bass, bluegill, smallmouth bass, white crappie and channel catfish. If you're looking for something different, they are known for having spoonbill as well. For the kids there is a Safari Park not too far from us with lots of animals to checkout.

This is my third time camping here as a stopover on a roadtrip and I have enjoyed every stay. It is close enough to the highway to be easy to get to and off the beaten path enough to be a quiet place where you can encounter wildlife. Kelda is welcoming and a good communicator. I also appreciate the access to drinking water and a bathroom. I would definitely recommend Stardust.

Me and my partner were looking for a last minute spot to camp and this spot right on the edge of Oklahoma was exactly what we were looking for. Very private and yet accessable. Offered us burning materials to have a fire. Great spot to set up hammocks. In the morning we were offered coffee and got a look around the military surplus shop they have. Very gracious hosts to let us show up late as well. Will definitely stay here again if I'm ever traveling through Oklahoma.

Plenty of room for evening stroll, RV stays etc.

Hope’s place is very comfortable! Easy to find and lots of space, well-secluded but close to the road for road trippers. Most of all, the hosts were super attentive, making sure I got in okay and had everything I need. Thank you Hope!

Kelda is a wonderful host, she met us on arrival and showed us around. There were chairs and a hammock available. This was a great place to spend the night on our roadtrip. And in the morning…… greeted by geese!! What a great surprise!

My partner and I had a wonderful stay! This was only our second Hipcamp site and our experience was very positive! Kelda was very communicative and the site was perfect for a stop on a long roadtrip. She met us when we arrived and showed us to the site. We were grateful to have access to a bathroom and shower! We also got to enjoy sky-watching and woke up to beautiful bird songs. I heard the Great Horned Owl in the middle of the night, but by the time I grabbed my red light to try to find it in the trees, it was gone! Finally, we were greeted by sweet geese (adults and babies!). We would come back. As two women traveling, we felt very safe. AND, don’t miss Sunshine Donuts on your way in or out! Sweet family runs it and I’ll be dreaming about the apple fritters for a while.

I camped one night at Stardust when I was passing through on a road trip. The site was easy to find with good directions. Kelda was friendly and met me when I arrived to show me around. It was a windy night and Kelda was very helpful in suggesting good spots to camp out of the wind. The land was beautiful with good stars, friendly ducks, chickens, and geese, and I heard great horned owls.

Kelda went out of her way to ensure we were safe in a storm . Her land is on the outskirts of a quiet town. We appreciate staying at her quiet place .
