This camping spot is celebrated for its seclusion and tranquility, offering a serene escape by the Arkansas River. Campers appreciate the privacy, plentiful shade, and the coolness provided by the surrounding forest. While the paths can be tricky after heavy rain, the hosts are noted for their kindness and attentiveness, ensuring a warm and accommodating stay. The occasional challenges of access are offset by the stunning natural beauty and the availability of essentials like firewood and water.

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.

Very friendly and accommodating host. This site has lots of potential with nice water and electric hookups. Still being developed and they offered me a refund, but we decided to stay and had a nice quiet stay. Beautiful part of Oklahoma.

Camping with the pups! Great place!
Tent · With pets
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
Tent · With pets
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!

Beautiful spot. We caught some fish had plenty of peace and quiet, and the site was pre-stocked with fire wood. I'll definitely be enjoying this spot again as soon as possible.

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.

The site was lovely. It was quite the jaunt from the car with two carts of gear. We were grateful they had a cart for us to use along with our own. The water was too shallow for swimming or fishing. There was a large bag of trash already there when we arrived. There was no way we could pack that out with us. Other than waking up to hundreds of daddy long legs on top of the tent (typical) the mornings were gorgeous. Sunsets were just as beautiful on the water and we even saw a barge go by in the night. Lots of large trees and wildlife to be seen. overall a lovely time!

Great private spot! The location was perfect on the river. Plenty of shade throughout the day. I got my 4wd with a rooftop tent right against the water. So relaxing and great responsive host!

We ended up not staying because we had a 45ft 5th wheel RV & dulley truck. Trees & pull in area not good for oversized.RV ....property is good for normal size 35 ft campers. Tents, primitive camping.. Host was very nice & helped turn us around. Land needs more clearing.

Tranquil atmosphere ❤️

If you are looking for something private and quiet, this is the place. We were the only campers there. If you have a Atv to get to the tent site, I highly recommend it, as long as there are no other campers there. We actually loved the tent site; it was amazing. We took our camper, and we were the only ones there. David, Daisha, and Sam were very helpful. It was our first time camping, so we had to learn, and they made it so much easier. There is a dump site close by at the state park. Very tranquil atmosphere.

We had a camper van by ourselves in Peacock Pines, a lovely, quiet stand of pines on the property. David was friendly and responsive, helping us with a hose, wifi troubleshooting, and more. The 10-min walk to the river was idyllic and featured his peacocks and goats. Steve the dog was an excellent and respectful guardian.

Right up at the river. Very serene and quiet. If you don’t have 4 wheel drive, the walk from the car to the campsite is about 1/4 mile. Bring an outdoor wagon or consolidate your stuff. You don’t want to make more than 2 trips.

David was one of the best hosts I’ve had. The site was beautiful and well maintained. RV sites were well spaced and provided enough privacy should other campers show up (we were solo so it was perfect). David showed us to the local spots for fishing and swimming which were also private. I will definitely be back to visit again. Truly a hidden gem.

Perfect Riverside Camp Spot
Tent
10/10 we camped in this spot for two nights and it wasn’t long enough. The farm is gorgeous and the riverside camping spot is a place you don’t want to miss. This was my first tent camping trip in over a decade and David was very helpful and made sure that we had water and firewood. I can’t recommend this site enough. I loved every moment there. For additional swimming and water recreation Greenleaf state park was just up the road, making our camping trip even sweeter.

We loved camping at David’s little oasis spot! We backpacked our things in, took about 8 minutes walking on a road, so not too hard. Beautiful spot on the river, the extinguisher and some solid logs were a nice addition to our camping experience. Highly recommend staying here!

BEAUTIFUL
Tent
This place was SO GORGEOUS. The view was amazing and the host was very welcoming. We loved this place a lot.
Only downside...be aware that you may have to walk a LONG distance (about a quarter mile one way) with hills, to the campsite from where your car is parked. We weren't expecting this and had to carry a bunch of our stuff.
Otherwise, BEAUTIFUL beautiful place and would return.

Fantastic vacation!
Tent · With kids
I booked a long weekend at Hickman Hideaway with my kids, my parents and my brother and his kids, and we all had a wonderful time! David was quick to respond to all my questions and concerns before the trip and was very accommodating while we were there.
The kids loved playing in the shallow river at the campsite and spending time with David’s animals near his house.
The hike to the campsite is beautiful and scenic, but not recommended for those with issues getting around or for anyone bring a lot of items with no ATV.
David mentioned some updates he’ll be doing to the campsite, so I look forward to those as I think this will become a prime location for anyone wanting a getaway!

Private spot on the lake
Tent
This site was great and so was our host. It was very private, except for a visit from a dog that swam up to us from the river, which was a mostly welcome surprise, the view of the river is excellent, the firepit was perfect for cooking up dinner, the firewood and water were easily accessible, and we could hear a lot of fish activity nearby as the sun was setting. The only downside was the drive in, which was not truly wide enough for a car, and we did incur a couple scratches on our new vehicle; we don't recommend taking a new car here.
The place is quite buggy but our host recommended we treat our clothes/tent/chairs with Permethrin which made for an almost bug-free experience. Thanks again for being an excellent host!
