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.

Newt Graham Lock and Dam was built to improve the Arkansas River, but there’s fun stuff to do here, especially if you love the water! Launch your boat in the river and cast a line for some of the best bass fishing around. You can also reel in crappie, channel cats, flatheads, and sunfish—what a feast! If you’re planning to stay overnight, choose from the two camping spots near the river, especially popular with anglers. Head up to the small visitor center for great views of the river, and watch the commercial tug boat operations. You might also want to check out the nearby towns, with their quaint shops and restaurants. Newt Graham is great for a low-key, fish-filled getaway.

It’s truly a hideaway! From the moment we checked in with the host on Friday, we didn’t see another soul all weekend — and that’s exactly what made it perfect. The peace and quiet here are unmatched. The forest around camp was alive with sounds of nature, and we even had a family of raccoons wander by one evening (so definitely keep your food locked up!).
The views are absolutely breathtaking — sunrise from this site is something you’ll never forget. I captured a few photos from sunrise and even some night shots, and they turned out incredible. This place would be magical in the fall when the colors start to change.
Just like other reviewers mentioned, having a 4x4 or AWD is smart. Our Crosstrek handled it easily, but if it rains, things could get interesting.
If you’re looking for a peaceful, secluded getaway surrounded by nature, Hickman Hideaway is exactly that. We left feeling recharged and can’t wait to come back! 🌲✨

We had a very peaceful weekend, at a perfect location for tent camping. We set up our camp 30 ft from the creek, the sound of the water was very relaxing.

We loved tent camping at The wild Goose. We were able to find it very easily and having electricity at the site was such a blessing. The view of the river was amazing and my kids spent a lot of time on the rock wall right along the river. It was quiet and we had all the privacy we were looking for. Do yourself a favor and bring a pair of binoculars because the natural wildlife was beautiful to look at and we found out how the site got its name from the geese that wandered across the way from us. We would definitely stay at this property again!

First time camping in our trailer we purchased and it was perfect. It was beautiful. Very well kept, no trash anywhere! The porta potty was the cleanest I had ever saw. The water is clear...oh I can go on and on. I will absolutely book here again. If you live around there...or even if you don't, this place is a must! Very very responsive host.

I camped for a week at the river site and it was a fantastic time. It is 100% private except for the occasional barge. The site backs up to forest which feels 20 degrees cooler so it'd be great during summer. The shade is plentiful! I will be back for sure. The path down to the site can be a little iffy so I'd recommend 4x4 if there has been recent heavy rainfall.
The hosts are some of the kindest people I have met. They are warm and genuinely care about your experience.

I loved this camping spot. Best spot I've ever camped hands down. The privacy and quiet is unmatched, but if you need anything the host David is a text away. You'll lose signal a few miles from the spot but at the camp sight there is the perfect amount of signal for keeping up with the weather or an emergency. Great fishing, plenty of firewood and tinder to scavenge. Beautiful views, very low light pollution at night. If you don't have a 4x4 you should pack a hand cart to help get your gear to the camp site. Bugs are a problem in any site as primitive as this, but I didn't get a single tick or bug bite. I treated all my gear, clothes, tents, chairs, even my dogs with permethrin (you can find it at Walmart or on Amazon), and I also paired that with picaridian spray on any exposed skin. Thank you David! for sharing your little slice of heaven with us. We enjoyed every moment at Hickmans Hideaway.

Secluded spot right on the Arkansas River. Tight double track to get back there but once you arrive it’s just you. We saw several barges come by and while the water isn’t clear you can walk for quite a while in no deeper than knee high water out into the river.
Cool spot for sure!

Tent site was secluded and beautiful. Easy to ask the host questions and had fire wood available to use. My friend and I took our boys for one last tent camp for the fall season and this spot did not disappoint. Boys enjoyed climbing, magnet fishing and watching the barges go by at night. Definitely adding to our favorites for tent camping! Thank you for sharing your property.
