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.

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.
Laquita was great and quick to respond to any questions. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and private nature getaway🙏🌄

Quiet and secluded. Owner helped me find the right spot. Ad was a bit misleading as there is a cabin on the wooden platform now. It didn’t affect my stay as I was in a rooftop tent but may be inconvenient for someone who was planning on using it

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.

Wow. This property is beautiful, well kept, and fairly private. The owner, Laquita, was very nice and super helpful. The creek was a perfect backdrop to our camp fire. It was a very relaxing trip and will definitely be making another booking here in the future.

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.
