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)

Rocky and uneven terrain, very hilly, a little open valley for running around. Twenty plus acres with ponds, a rock face jutting out of a hill, lots of trails and a dry creek bed that will flood with a heavy rain, it runs east to west. There is a waterless restroom located in the valley, hand sanitizer is provided.

Foxbat Prairie Retreat
6. Foxbat Prairie Retreat
47mi from Frontenac · 1 site
Located on 65+ acres of private prairie, this property offers over three miles of walking trails with numerous spots for reading, napping, stargazing, and meditating in complete privacy. It’s ideal for those seeking time away from society, undisturbed. Unplug your devices and reconnect with what matters most.
During your stay, you’ll have exclusive access to 65 acres of native prairie and three miles of walking trails. The surrounding land is used for low-intensity grazing and hay production.
If you have mountain bikes or fat-tire e-bikes, they can be used on the trails. You can also explore countless miles of nearby gravel country roads.
The last 2.5 miles of the drive are on gravel roads. A half-mile two-track across the prairie leads to the camper. In dry conditions, it’s accessible by most vehicles except low-clearance sports cars. If that’s all you have—or in extremely wet conditions—the host can provide transportation for the final half mile up the hill.
Campfires are permitted except when conditions are too dry or windy.

We had a great time here. Beautiful land and cozy cabin. Very comfortable and great kitchen set up with induction stove and convection countertop oven. Everything was very clean and well stocked with everything from board games to laundry soap. The hosts John and Ginny are nice and welcoming. We will definitely come back when we can stay longer.

Very quiet, even being located just off a road. Outdoor shower was a welcome experience after a long day on the road. I made a small fire with the supplies thoughtfully provided. The lounge with coffee maker and microwave was a nice touch.
