Great spot for tent camping. Beautiful creek. Large grassy area in the holler. You can walk down creek to Mulberry river.
Lots of stuff to do in the area. Motorcycle dream drive. Bring canoes and kayaks.
Check out high bank falls and mulberry access points. Bunch of trails to hike.
Oark is cool.

Beautiful spot to get away from the crowds in the area-- having it all to your self. I had wonderful site where I sat on the creek and read for hours. Also great stargazing. Hosts are super friendly. Spot is a little near the road but once night comes traffic is very light. I look forward to returning.

Had a great stay, despite bad luck with the weather. Had several thunderstorms and even a short hail storm but the host Lewis went above and beyond to make sure that I was comfortable, and would plan on camping at his site again. Great spot right off a creek, and very little traffic on the nearby road so felt very secluded despite being easy to find and get to

Site was exactly as described in the listing. Great base camp location for exploring Ozark National Forest. There was no Verizon coverage, but plenty of open sky for Starlink.

Great place to camp. Close to the river but felt like our own secluded campsite!

We loved tent camping here. Lewis was very communicative on how things would work, and the view was great. Nice hiking trails close by. We were able to see the 2024 eclipse from the campsite and it was prefect. The location is right next to the highway, so not super private, but it worked. The Indian creek parking and canoe launch point are right across the bridge.

This camping spot was very nice! It had easy access to the creek so our dogs could swim while we relax and listen to the water. The camp site has a nice firepit with a grill for cooking. A picnic table is also at the site. Great spot to stay while exploring the Mulberry River area!

Close to highway, but the minimal road traffic did not bother us at all. Private creek access that was great for getting the hound wet. No problem with clearance in our 16 ft travel trailer.

I loved the area. The hills were beautiful and the campsite was set up really nicely. My only complaint is that is was very very close to the road. You could hear all the cars passing (some noisier than others). You could see the lights from the cars at night (while sleeping inside the tent). Aside from that, the area was very nice.

Blue Yonder is beautifully situated by creek and nestled in trees with colorful fall leaves but not far from a trailhead. The land is thoughtfully arranged-easy in and out in a camper. Pretty quiet and relaxing! Easy to find with a picturesque setting in the Ozark National Forest!

This spot was perfect for our stay with two teenage boys, and two younger boys. Well kept, a perfect fire ring, plenty of trees to get for hammocks up, and my favorite part was access to the creek! Even in late July, it had enough water for exploring, and cooling off a bit. Because of our last minute reservation, firewood was not available, but we were able to pick some up at the adventure center just down the road. There was some road noise, but we barely noticed it. No unwanted lights, and the night sky was absolutely gorgeous. We would love to stay here again. The host was kind and responsive!

Lewis was great, a storm came it at the last moment and he was kind enough to refund our trip. An honest and great host.

Absolute prime location. Couldn’t ask for a better spot. Kayaked all day and couldn’t be happier to go back to a nice quiet spot. You would think the hwy noise would bother you a little but it was hardly noticeable. Indian Creek drowned out everything.

This was the perfect spot to spend a long weekend exploring Ozark National Forest.
The drive in was amazing, the location is perfect, and the campsite was versatile; well suited for many camping styles.
The campsite has great shade and is mowed nicely. The meadow surrounding it lends to its privacy. The creek that runs near it is awesome. Great for an afternoon dip, it leads directly to the Mulberry River.
We explored small towns, country roads, rivers, and trails in the area for 3 days and it was made most convenient and relaxing using Lewis’s quiet and perfect spot as our base camp.

Lewis' property is absolutely gorgeous and the drive in is stunning. Very easy to get to and the campsite is great! We had a wonderful stay and Lewis was a terrific host!!

Lewis’ land is wonderful! The stream behind the spot is so pretty. The trees are perfect for hammocks. And it’s so close to several fun hiking spots and right across the street from a kayak entry point on the river. I made a terrible choice to attempt camping on a freezing cold weekend and despite how prepared I thought I was I gave up leaving early, but Lewis was awesome and checked on me to make sure I was ok when I disappeared in the middle of the night. I will absolutely be back when the risk of freezing to death is a little lower.

This is a great location with a great host. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate with us and we had to leave early, but we will be back again.

A great secluded corner to stay deep in the forest. Easy access to trails and water. Lewis is a great host. Coming to the area? Camp here.

Lewis' site was absolutely beautiful! The drive through the forest to his site has a lot of switchbacks and dips. Once I arrived at the campsite, I was blown away by how gorgeous it was. My pup absolutely loved barreling through the fields and exploring the site. Lewis came down and greeted me shortly after I arrived. He'd put up a small shed, which I popped my tent under. It kept everything dry during the rainstorm on the first night! We departed earlier than expected due to my doggo not being as fond of camping in the wild as she was of the practice camping we did in my backyard. Absolutely no fault of Lewis' and I only wish we'd been able to stick it out and stay for more adventures.
Important Note: Bring bug spray and tick spray and if you have a pup, I'd highly recommend deer/horse fly spray that isn't toxic to them.

Nice little secluded site close to Byrd’s Adventure Center and tons of beautiful places to hike! Lewis was a helpful host who gave us space but let us know he was there if we need anything!

Our stay with Lewis was so amazing! We are avid campers and love the Arkansas Wilderness, Lewis’s land was perfect. Fishing,hiking, stars galore. Lewis was a great host even messaged us when we were gone for the day to let us know the wind took down our canopy. It was very private. There is no phone coverage or WiFi which was just what we wanted to get away. I highly recommend this sweet spot.
