Adorable and weird and exactly as advertised. The loft made me feel like I was simultaneously in a treehouse and a cave and I loved it. The vibes of the place are perfect.

One Room School House
Although our stay was short, it was comfortable and unique and the host was super communicative and kind!
The place is really cool. Very unique with alot of character. Sam makes everything really easy and is available if needed.
Sam’s Town and Sam himself are the epitome of what Hipcamp should be about. People who open their hearts to others and share their vision of what America is about. I came and stayed over Thanksgiving and it was exactly what I needed…. to disconnect, slow down and remember what is really important in this life. Sam I wish you all the best. You are truly inspiring!! Keep up the good fight and thank you again for all your hospitality. All the little touches mean so much and the care package for my puppy just warmed my heart. I can’t say enough good things. I hope to be back soon!

Sam is a wonderfully accommodating host. A few yellow jackets had slipped into where we were originally going to stay and kept landing on me. As someone who is deadly allergic, I was not comfortable staying there. We contacted Sam and he was very apologetic, offering to reimburse us completely if we needed to find somewhere else to stay, or move us to a different cabin in his camp. We took him up on the latter option. Since where we were moving from cost more money than where we ended up (the Writers Cabin), he reimbursed us the difference in cost. He got the cabin ready for us, and lit us a fire in the fire pit outside the cabin that we enjoyed relaxing by.

I chose not to stay because the untidiness of the grounds, which was not evident in the pictures on Hipcamp. Sam graciously refunded my money and I wish him well. I also had a good experience with Hipcamp on this booking.

We spent one lovely night in the one room schoolhouse. Sam is a great host, and we really enjoyed the unique aesthetic of the house as well as the entire property.
The directions were clear. We met Sam in the morning at Main St Cafe. He was great! The place is very special. Sam has a vision and it’s unfolding. Be nice if the dust and cobwebs were wiped off the surfaces you want to put your things on but it is a lovely vibe. We stayed in the Homestead Cabin. The smell of earth and wood was wonderful and impressive to see his creativity.
This was truly a unique stay and I recommend it, especially if you like to get to know the local vibe. Sam is a great host and will do his best to accommodate you if you should happen to need anything. The basics are all there though, and while it’s certainly not a 5-star hotel, it’s *definitely* an upgrade from tent camping! Sam is a real character, a visionary artist with a wealth of knowledge about the town of Erick’s history, as well as where to find good fishing holes! Highly recommend!
Easy access and was a nice level parking spot in a quiet neighborhood. Good place to stop for a night.

It was a unique place. A sweet spot on Route 66.
I wasn't able to spend the night there as our communication devices weren't working properly and my host wasn't there when I arrived. He refunded my money. Wish I could have met him in person!
What a treasure that I never would've found otherwise! This is why I like to travel on Hipcamp, for interesting places like Sam's Town and generous people like Sam who are willing to share their projects and homes so folks like me can have a cool and curious place to stay!

Such a fun spot! Sam had a fire going in the schoolhouse before we arrived so it was very cozy, and he showed us around a bit when we arrived. It’s a unique space with lots of little bits of personal history tucked throughout. The bed was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. We had some trouble getting the water going in the morning, but that didn’t really get in our way and Sam was on his way to work on it shortly after we let him know. We hit the road pretty quickly after we got up since we had a long day of driving ahead. He was gracious and welcoming and keeps a lovely place.

This place is really cool. The entire “Sam’s Town” is built with scraps and pieces found. It’s a rad place to check out. Host was nice and made sure I was warm and comfortable. He provided some extra firewood and had one started for me. Bathroom and shower was nice to have. Totally would come back again.

RV Parking Spot
Traveling cross-country with a small teardrop camper, we needed a safe place to stop for the night. Sam’s Town had a place to park our camper. As advertised, there no hookups but we did not need them. There was a clean bathroom, shower, and washing machine available for our use. There were tent campsite available on the grounds in a very unique setting constructed by Sam. It would be a great overnight stopover for bike packers. Sam was a delightful host - very communicative and welcoming.

Homestead Cabin
The 7 Dollar log cabin was charmingly rustic and incredibly spacious. Sam has created a lovely space that offers privacy and a lot of fun spaces to enjoy. Sam was hospitable and helpful.
Sam has created a shady and inviting oasis in western Oklahoma just a short distance off I-40 (Route 66). His creative and artistic workmanship is apparent in his photography, his ability to build structures with old found objects and wood, his signage, and his landscaping. Sam has put in a lot of sweat equity, time and love in Sam's Town! He gave me a great tour of the buildings, including stories, history and meanings behind them. I didn't stay in the 7 Ricks since it has steep ladder steps up to the sleeping loft. I just had a shoulder replacement 12 weeks ago and expressed my concern to him about them. He was so kind and immediately offered up the One Room Schoolhouse. It was comfortable and charming! Pilgrim the turkey kept me company during my wanderings around the property. I was enchanted by his place and look forward to staying again if I ever travel through that area again! Thank you Sam for sharing your special place with me!
Sam and his turkey graciously greeted me when I arrived. He was a wonderful host and made sure I had everything I needed for my stay. He even switched me to another available spot that worked better for me.
Once I was settled in he asked if I wanted him to start a campfire in a large common area and offered to give me a tour of his place if I liked. I took him up on his offer and thoroughly enjoyed exploring all the unique and thoughtfully crafted areas he created. I also had a wonderful time talking to Sam later around the campfire.
His place runs right along route 66 which was perfect for my cross country trip. The bed I slept in was very comfortable. I would say the overall the accommodations are a little more rustic, some sleeping areas even have dirt floors, but that’s part of charm. Don’t expect a hotel type stay but there are conveniences like a toilet, shower and place to wash some clothes if you need to. I really enjoyed my overnight stay and I’m looking forward to hopefully a longer visit next time.

We had a wonderful stay here. Sam's Town is an absolute delight, and the one-room schoolhouse we stayed in was incredible. Samuel was warm, welcoming, and responsive. And he built much of Sam's Town himself! There's a fantastic little byo drink wine bar made from a former chicken coop, a turkey and chicken roaming the grounds, tent sites with electricity, places for campfires and hanging out outdoors, and the schoolhouse was really homey and spacious. Loved it all and want to go back!
We were amazed during our stay in the one-room schoolhouse. Sam gave us the tour of the collection of buildings he has made, moved, or repaired. This is not a high-end place with lots of amenities, but a great bed, kitchen, bath, place for campfires, spots for bikers, a display of some of Sam’s photos, a log cabin, a “wine bar” with music, and a turkey and chicken, it couldn’t have been better for us. If cruising Route 66, or looking for idiosyncratic places, Sam’s Town is worth a stay.
