Site 1 - End of the Trail
The property was gorgeous and private, even in the rain we stayed dry. The hosts are incredibly kind and accommodating! My friends and family have already asked for the link and I can't wait to go back!

Site 1 - End of the Trail
This camping location is special and unique. We enjoyed the remote feel of the riverside site. The owners clearly keep up the grounds. Good value. Positive primitive camping experience.

It's so hard to find simple little places like this. I know that glamping is popular, but I prefer the cabin equivalent to dry camping for myself. y dogs and I had a great time, and the greenhouse roof on one side made the thunderstorms enjoyable; being able to see the clouds, rain, and lighting while laying back.
The little deck looks out over the river. Perfect for fresh ground coffee and breakfast like we did. Not quite enough covering to sit on the bench and enjoy the rain without getting wet, though.
There's also a little path from the cabin to the river if you want to swim, take a kayak, or just sit in the water to be lazy.
This one of the two cabins is tucked away in the trees between the river and a circular open space for tents or outdoor games, so you have total privacy but room to play.
All in all, I would definitely book this again and bring my group with me.

Really unique property with 3 camping spots spaced far apart along the river. There are also large fields with freshly mowed paths and a creek with different branches and swimming holes. We were the only campers and enjoyed being able to let our dogs run free. We stayed at Site 1, and there was (just!) enough room for two adult cots and a double bed sized futon mattress.
Site is equipped with a picnic table, kayak, life jacket, nice fire pit, and grill.
Great views of the stars!
We wish we had packed a screen tent to put around the picnic table bc the flies were bad (as they could have been anywhere else in AR at this time of year).
We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

I didn't have many camping so far, but this one was the best by far!
And I don't think any other camp site could beat it at least for a long time.
They had everything ready for you to enjoy, and you had an easy job to do it! They even had something for repelling the bugs from your tent. I really enjoyed my staying and definitely plan to come back but either by a bigger car or after some no rain days as my Honda accord got stuck before reaching the camp! They were so kind in helping me get out of that situation which I really appreciated.

I enjoyed the stay very much. There was total privacy and the treehouse overlooked a lazy river. My only comment is you have to drive through a creek. After rain I don't think a regular car to could make it. It was dry when I crossed with a Camry, but it took a couple tries. But, I would never let that stop me from visiting again. It is beautiful!

What a fantastic hidden oasis!💗
The nature here is beautiful. The sounds of the rushing river lull you to sleep so peacefully. It feels very private, and came equipped with a grill, firewood, canoe. The price was fantastic and made her really perfect last minute getaway for this single mama with her teenagers and pup.
The owner, Wentz came by to visit us and was so friendly and accommodating. He offered to bring by some fishing gear if we needed it. It was cool to hear the story about his vision for people to enjoy this incredible space in nature.
Portable toilet was exceptionally clean.
Next time I might bring an air mattress or cots but other than that, it had everything that we needed. We will definitely return there again and look forward to our next visit with Wentz!🙂

So much all in one place! It's beautiful and serene. Camp spots are so far apart you will think you are the only ones there. Wentz was always quick to respond at all hours when we had questions. We stayed at Site 2-We brought everything we needed as we always do camping but didn't know it had so much at site already! When we came it has a long with the covered shelter- a picnic table, prep table, small charcoal grill, great fire pit, small little side table, and a metal trash can with trash bags. We had a great stay!

Site 1 - End of the Trail
Our family really enjoyed the tree houses, we stayed at both of them consecutive nights. Hard to choose because they each got their own special things and lots of love put into them. It was a rainy weekend and we stayed dry and really enjoyed the visit. Will be back. Great place

We had an awesome experience! We stayed at Site 2, loved it, and now want to go back to try out Site 1. Really beautiful spot to get away with amenities that turn car camping into glamping. Our dogs had a blast, and a bald eagle even soared through the site!

HipCamp provided the perfect spot to unplug and reconnect with God in the most peaceful, beautiful way. With no power, electricity, or running water, this campsite really lets you get away from it all—no distractions, just raw, natural beauty and the quiet needed to focus on Jesus. The views were stunning, and there’s something incredibly freeing about being off the grid, surrounded only by nature and the stillness of creation. It’s truly a little sanctuary where you can spend time in prayer and worship, with nothing to pull you away. For anyone looking to recharge their spirit, get quiet with God, and be immersed in the beauty of His work, this site is a treasure. Highly recommend for anyone ready to let go of the world and connect on a deeper level!

As much as I don’t want to share how amazing this site is, I’d be disappointed if more people don’t get to experience it. Absolute gem of a location. You can wade across the river, knee deep. Very well maintained site. Second time here and surely not my last.

We loved our weekend here! We tent camped but there was a converted horse trailer that was pretty cool and very very minimal. We just wanted to take advantage of the great weather by sleeping outside this trip. It was beautiful, close to the water, secluded, and our dog had a lovely time running around and taking some dips in the river while we kayaked. We’d stay again for sure.

I had a lovely stay at Free Bird! The site was clean and everything was as described. Great spot for stargazing!

This was my first time using Hipcamp, and Site Two - Free Bird made it a fantastic first trip! It was also the first time my sister and I had gone on a trip, just the two of us, and we were a bit nervous—but this place took all those worries away. The campsite is right on the creek, and we had so much fun using the provided kayak and tube to explore. The setup was wonderful, and we loved making s’mores by the campfire while watching the sunset. Setting up in the structure was easy, and dusting out the spider webs and spiders was no big deal—just part of the outdoor experience!
Waking up to a beautiful sunrise was a highlight, and hearing the wildlife and farm animals throughout the stay added so much to the atmosphere. The coyotes howling at night was thrilling, and the rooster’s crow in the morning was a perfect way to wake up and enjoy the sunrise. Watching my dog run around, living his best life, made the trip even better. While you could hear neighbors at times, I never saw them, and it felt like we had our own little slice of oasis.
Wentz was an excellent host, answering all our questions and creating such an amazing setup. I can't wait to come back with my husband and son for another relaxing getaway!

We loved our stay here! We were on motorcycles so couldn’t drive all the way to the site, but it was a short walk from
Where we parked to the site. The place is over a mile down a very hard packed gravel road- very much rideable on cruisers. Biffy was immaculate. The cabin is a screen porch type setting, not fully enclosed. we set up our single tents inside so we wouldn’t wake up with any surprises in our sleeping bags. Lovely deck with chairs to sit and listen to the river and wildlife. Super clear water. Site has a picnic table, grill, and fire pit. Lots of wood around the site, also firewood for sale for $10. Bring camping basics - headlamps, tp, a good book, etc. We loved our time here!

Excellent scenery and location right by the river .Gives very secluded and enjoyable atmosphere. Plenty of room at the sites if you want to tent or just enjoy the nice treehouse setup. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone of my camping friends.

Absolutely loved the location of site 2. The river is shallow and crystal clear, but watch out for snakes. I saw two during my stay, but still loved the location and ease of access a ton. I would absolutely return. Great host!

My wife and I had the best time on our trip. We had a flat tire and the groundskeepers Michael and Adam went above and beyond to help us. They even took our tire off and put the spare on for us since we didn’t have a car jack with us.
The dogs got to run around the open field, there was a perfect place to put in a kayak and paddle around, the camp was very clean and firewood was stacked high for us when we arrived. They even had extra bundles to buy. We will definitely be back!

Camping out at Site 2 was great! There was the structure on the site and we also brought our tent just in case. Ended up setting up our cots and sleeping inside of the structure since it was screened in. Suggest bringing a fan and broom to use inside before you get all setup for the night. We heard what we thought (and hoped) was just a mountain lion screaming around 2 am near us so I’m glad we did 🤣 definitely bring water shoes because the lake was really slippery on the rocks. We brought our 4 yr old and he loved watching the fireflies, catching grasshoppers, seeing the fish, and other critters out there! Was a great getaway, nice and secluded, wonderful little escape.

Great location on river about 250ft from the next camp site. Must drive over small creek and through open field to get to campsite. There is a horse trailer with a small bed area inside I would assume for looks only. The doors do not seal or latch properly. There is an ac unit in the photo but you will need a generator to run/if it works. There is no electricity out there. I didn’t expect there to be but these are things you don’t know till you know. River stream is small. Caught some small bass and bluegill. No catfish or other larger fish. Water is about 5-7ft deep in the location. The toilets are portapottys with a hole in the ground. Wife was not keen to using due to the amount of spiders and wasps nest inside the portapotty. All in all we had a good trip and enjoyed our night. It was a fun adventure. Nice shaded location. Watch out for the huge ants and holes in the ground near the river.
