The best camping in Oklahoma

·

Set in the Great Plains region of the United States, in Oklahoma you'll find camping opportunities among sweeping grasslands, quiet forests, waterfalls, and an abundance of lakes. Much of the state’s expansive natural areas are protected by the state park system, and Oklahoma also has the longest drivable stretch of the famous Route 66, which passes by all sorts of roadside attractions and historic towns, crossing through the state's two major cities—Tulsa and Oklahoma City—along the way.

A true Oklahoma hidden gem on the Arkansas River. Hickman Hideaway offers private, primitive camping right on the river, surrounded by trees, wildlife, sandy shoreline, and wide-open quiet. This is the kind of place where you can wake up to sunrise over the water, spend the day fishing or relaxing in the shade, watch barges drift by, and end the night around a campfire under dark skies. The campsite is secluded and natural, with oak and pine trees creating privacy and a peaceful forested feel. It is ideal for tent camping, dogs, small groups, overlanding, and campers who prefer space and solitude over crowded campgrounds.

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.

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!
