17mi from Stillwater · 8 sites · Tents, RVs
Welcome to Sky Valley Acres, where history meets the horizon. Come join us out in our little slice of country paradise, 30 acres of natural prairie and woodlands nestled on the highest peak in the county overlooking the historic Twin Mounds Valley. Not too far from home, but just far enough to feel like an adventure, we are conveniently located 20 minutes outside the quaint college town of Stillwater, Oklahoma. Our sites offer both large open areas for vehicles and activities paired with private wooded forest for tents and seclusion. Individual sites are many acres apart designed in such a way that every experience is peaceful and private. We offer maintained camping sites which are easily accessible that come with amenities, in addition to our alternative primitive camping experience for the pros further in the Backwoods. What ever your needs or preference we have a spot for you! We have easy access to two main highways with the nearest Walmart 10 minutes away, not to mention great cell phone coverage for all the main providers at most locations on the property. A little bit about how we started. Like most of us, we were in desperate need of a place to get away from the bustle and grind of daily life, to slow down, decompress, and destress. This land the universe had waiting for us, gave us just that! It changed our lives and now we are excited to open up this sanctuary to others who share our passion for the great outdoors! Interestingly, each year we find out more about our home, from its Native American prehistory, to its 19th century Civil War conflict, and most recently, a lost article published in the 1940s in the local Oklahoman gazette that enticingly gossips about long lost Buried Treasure!

Said of Iconium Farms from a guest through Boondockers RV and Harvest Host: “If you are looking for a pristine, natural setting for a peaceful evening, consider making the trek along the brilliant, red dirt roads and relax here. The music of dozens of birds sound like a choir and serenaded the morning and evening air. The sunset was a kaleidoscope of color, popping with magenta, ochers, and tangerine hues which later welcomed a brilliant lightning storm, illuminating the OK skies with spider lightning! Just gorgeous. If you are lucky, you will meet the irresistable landowner, a unique, creative individual who is happy to tell you the history of the land and his ambitious vision for the future. Brush up on your animal footprints. There are a lot to discover!” - Glenn H (cubbyvanlife) 1889 LandRun Legacy new venture in development. Lovely trails through wooded forests with dry creeks, gullies, and intermittent creeks fed by 1500 acres starting south about 2 miles. Tall red dirt walls along ravines that wind dramatically in southern portion of property. Creeks have water and fish, yet small perch with slow cascading waterfalls when rains have come. Areas to camp near creek. Big 10 acres field good for flying kites. Eastern Redcedar groves untouched for ages. Lots of no impact camping spots. Our Farm is in it’s start up year and we have and work hard. Some find it fun to watch and learn about sustainable growing. This will be developed further into glamping destination with disc golf course starting in a couple of years.

The best river, stream, or creek RV sites near Stillwater guide

Where to go

Sequoyah State Park

The drive into Sequoyah State Park is lined with shortleaf pine and brings campers to the shores of Fort Gibson Lake for tent and RV camping, lodges and cabin rentals, and recreation on the water. Campsites with water, sewer, and electric hookups are minutes from lighted ramps for fishing and boating, while bait and boat rentals can be found at the marina. Trek 12 miles of biking, hiking, and horse trails, then perhaps share a fire-cooked meal at a group picnic shelter. Sequoyah also features educational experience programming at the Three Forks Nature Center, where rehabilitated mammals and birds are nursed back to health. Campers who golf should be sure to bring their clubs for the park’s 18-hole golf course.

Lake Eufaula State Park

Southeast of Stillwater, the hydroelectric Eufaula Dam turns a large reservoir into Lake Eufaula. The lake’s state park reserves space for nearly every type of camping near the water, from tent and RV campsites to glamping yurts with wifi and TVs. Campsites with water, sewer, and electric hookups can serve as home base for days spent hiking or mountain biking down natural trails, fishing in the designated pond, and taking advantage of the disc golf course. Lake Eufaula also boasts a public airstip for Hipcampers to fly in for a romantic visit to Lovelock Fountain, where sweethearts inscribe their names on padlocks clipped to the fence as a symbol of their devotion.

Fort Cobb State Park

Fort Cobb Lake, a 4,000 surface-acre watersport paradise, sits within Fort Cobb State Park. Here, Hipcampers have access to full-hookup RV and tent campsites, as well as pet-friendly cabin rentals with queen beds, refrigerators, and stoves. Fort Cobb also has primitive campsites—just be sure to reserve online. Once you’re settled into your site, the lake is prime for swimming, fishing, and boating (rentals available), while the 18-hole golf course also beckons.

When to go

Stillwater enjoys a humid subtropical climate, with impressive storms ramping up in summer. The best time for camping and outdoor activities in the area is either before the summer humidity and heat set in or when the cooling fall air rolls in. The generally mild temperatures of September and October usually stay above 55°F and below 80°F, while March through May temperatures hover between 40 and 70°F.
