Like an oasis in the desert — so close to town, yet it felt completely remote and peaceful. The drive in on the trail to the campsite genuinely felt like wheeling through the Arkansas wilderness, which made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be back, and next time I’m bringing the family. Highly recommend!

A really nice, clean, quiet, secluded spot, which was what I was looking for. Either a good hike or a 4x4 to get down to the spot, but worth it. Looking forward to visiting John's place again.

Host was great with communicating with me on directions and responsive when I had a question. The property was exactly as described in the ad and my family had a wonderful time. Grab all the supplies you need, the town doesn't have many options for groceries. Not even really an issue, just a time saving tip. 😊

This was our second visit to JQ’s land and we just love it there! It’s quiet, secluded, our pups love being off leash and there is so much land to walk and explore. This time we also did some fishing in the pond, as well. We will most definitely be back next year. Super friendly host, beautiful location, well maintained, can’t go wrong spending time here!

This was a unique site as it was private and wooded. We could hear a barn owl hooting during the night. The kids really enjoyed the tree house with the hammock. The host was very helpful and guided us down to the river bottom. Thanks!

Exceptionally well cared for spacious property of mixed prairie and forested tracks. Especially enjoyed the numerous wildflower patches, walking paths and privacy. John was a wonderful, conservation minded host who met with me shortly after arriving, provided a brief tour that included best way to access his trails along the (Platte) river bottom and answered my questions as we walked together. Also found many hiking opportunities in the Smithville Lake area a short distance away. Would highly recommend this Hipcamp and would definitely return when traveling in the area.

I absolutely loved staying here! It's literally a slice of heaven! A beautiful row of wildflowers guide your way down to the campsite, passing along the fully stocked pond where the fish are too smart for my own good! The campsite had beautiful woods and trails leading to different spots on the property. I would definitely love to stay here again!

What a delight to rest up after a long drive. John's place is quiet and stunningly beautiful. The dogs loved chasing rabbits and getting the wiggles out on our cross-country road trip. Excellent communication and even a flush toilet in the outhouse! Highly recommend.
