There is a lot of nut trees and chickens!
I inherited this land from my uncles who spent their whole life’s purpose to live and maintain the land. It has given me such peace and a great escape that I think everyone deserves to touch a piece of its soul to help you in your soul searching or unplugging from life to clear your mind to tackle the world!
I’ve grown up seeing the land change, watching how nature can change streams and hills and love seeing how years and years of leaving it alone can create such a beautiful canvas all on its own.
One of my uncles favorite things to do was to look for arrowheads and if you are familiar with ancient Indian practices, you can find many characteristics in these woods.

Lots of trails to walk with our dogs. We chose the lower campsite so we would be more
Isolated. There was several places to setup camp and we chose the one furthest to the west. Nice flat areas for tents and trees to setup a shade tarpaulin (mid March so the trees have only buds). We packed in our own water, though there is well water nearby. The road down to the river campsites is not for a car, we have a stock SUV, made it over the one rock section without issue.
The land is beautiful, nice and quiet, other campers were far enough to not even be noticed. We plan to be back again, maybe when the wildflowers are in bloom.

I was looking to get away for a bit to reset. I really wanted to just be alone in a forrest for a while! It was exactly what I hoped for. I had lots of privacy on the river bottoms. I was able to go for hikes and enjoy the night sounds. It was really nice. The host was very helpful. I wasn't sure if I was following the correct path or how far I could go. Keep going! There aren't signs, but just keep going! You will know when you have gotten to just the right spot!

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!
