We had some issues with people locating the property. This is because when I originally posted this on the site, I hadn’t set foot on the property. Now that I have, I have a better sense of how to get around the neighborhood. So don’t let previous reviews scare you. This is some beautiful property surronded by the Ozark National Forrest. Nearby to so much outdoor activity. From floating down the Spring River, fishing, rafting, hiking, the area really has it all. If you have an interest in camping with us, contact us for more info!!

1 night at Baumgartens VW Krankenhaus

Camping on Mark and Angela’s land was simple. They met us when we arrived, gave us a great tour of the VW Krankenhaus (which as former owners of several different VWs, we enjoyed!), showed us where to find the facilities, and left us to set up camp. They were friendly and their place was as described.

1 night at Baumgartens VW Krankenhaus

I found the location very easily and the owner even warned me of a dip in the road so I came in from a different direction (which they outlined to me) because I have a relatively low to the ground clearance trailer that I tow. Mark and Angela were very helpful reaching out to me before and during my trip. They are both VW enthusiasts and Angela gave me a tour of their VW collection in and around their pole barn garage. They were both very hospitable and I enjoyed my stay there. They made their cabana bathroom available for my stay which was super nice. Would highly recommend if you're in the Oklahoma City area as a place to stay.

Mark and Angela were excellent hosts. They accommodated me so well that I felt all the things that a camper should feel, safe able to rest. I was too tired to take the VW tour, but believe me Mark has the bug, sorry for the play on words. There were very kind with leading me in by the phone, and leading me out, and this was a 10 out of 10 stay.

We were traveling back to Georgia from a trip out West with friends in our VW Vanagons and landed at Mark & Angela's. It was perfect. Safe place to stay overnight. Bathroom facilities were nice. They were gracious hosts and gave us a tour. We'd stay here again for sure!

3 nights at Dave's Dog Oasis And Campground

Booked with Jackson due to the fact that I was attending the Calf Fry Festival that was less then 5 minutes away. The communication between us were quickly addressed. The tent location had chosen was moved to a new location due to Oklahoma's ass wanting to dump gallons of rain. Not the fault of Jackson. It was a great time to get away and relax. Walked to the pond and tossed a lure for awhile. Would us again for next year's Calf Fry.

Excellent little spot, we had originally planned to be staying Friday night and Saturday night, but plans got shuffled and made it to the campground Saturday Morning. Staff was great and we were able to upgrade to a full hookup site vs the dry camp we had originally reserved. 5 Star Review here from the Boys from Maine that came all the way to see The Boys from Oklahoma!
