The codes to get in the "lodge" came about a day in a half after we arrived. No water in the shower and the lodge was overgrown and looked abandoned for years. Luckily there was a neighborhood Walmart about 7 miles away to get a bucket toilet. None of these things would have been an issue if it wasn't advertised as a Glamping spot and just a bare camping spot. The best thing about it was it was deserted and we had the whole area to ourselves. I'll try Hipcamp again but I won't go to this site again.

Site 1 - The Sycamore RV Spots
Wife & I are new to using RV sites, so we're still learning about our trailer's abilities, functionality, and amenities. Keeping that in mind we enjoyed our stay. This campground has a great deal of potential and after visiting with one of the owners I think they have a great vision of what they want their facility to become. Overall the communication with Em was easy and she was quick to respond and Nels was there to help us set up and do some mowing. We weren't able to use Site #1 due to some electrical issues which wasn't a major problem since we were the only people there for the weekend we moved to a different site.
Pros: quiet, isolated, great for getting back to nature and relaxing under the stars.
Cons: power boxes need to be updated & marked for 30 or 50 use. Or better yet have all three sites setup for permanent use by both 30 & 50.
Personally I would love to return and stay again, when the weather cools down. The 105°+ heat kept us from really enjoying everything there was available.

The cleanliness of the cabin and toilets are concerning. This is glamping and people choose this over camping for some added benefits, especially if you have kids. But the state park restrooms and showers are much more glam than this one. I would prefer to keep away next time.

The Sycamore Bells
I am going to give my honest review and no disrespect is intended toward the host. The camp sites are not private but luckily we were the only ones there that weekend. The tent was roomy but the the air mattress would not stay fully inflated and slid around on the metal frame. The cabin was in bad shape and we only used the restroom when absolutely necessary (the shower was absolutely out of the question). The stove looked like it was about to fall apart and the counter had dead bugs and spiders all over it. We did catch a couple of fish but access to the river was a bit difficult for our 7 year old. While I understand the reasoning, the fire pit was too far away from the tent and we had to bring our own firewood. You could forage in the woods for firewood but if you wandered off the area that had been mowed you ended up with little stickers all over you. There were no trash cans and you had to take all your trash with you which was inconvenient since we had a 2 hour drive home with the trash in our car. Unfortunately I would not recommend this campsite.

The Sycamore Bells
We thoroughly enjoyed our time staying at the sycamore. This beautiful space has so clearly been created with intention for others to find peace, fun, and be able to take a step back from the business of our day to day lives. Being able to participate in our natural surroundings while still having the comfort of things like a shower, and AC in the night was wonderful. It’s in a perfect location that allows you to feel separate from others, but still close enough to cities in case of emergency. The location also allowed us to take nice walks, go swimming in the nearby lake, and hear the amazing birds and bugs. We appreciated having a kitchen to cook in, and a place to play fun games. The one note we had from our stay was that the fridge wasn’t as cold as it should have been to keep our food fresh, but we did see they were looking for new appliances so we’re sure that will be remedied in the future. We loved reading about the big ideas they have for this campsite in the future, and all of us would love to return again. This space was exactly what we needed to bond and make memories before heading our separate ways for school. Can’t recommend it enough.

The Family and I had a great time at the Campsite. My niece dubbed us the Chicken Nuggets Group*
Nice balance of nature, convenience**. Holdenville lake is a short car ride, a pretty easy bike ride, and a slightly ambitious hike**. We found the water, even in August, cool and refreshing.
Thanks again to Em for clear and detailed instructions. Even finding the site and getting everything setup was a good time for an OCD computer nerd like me!
5 out of 5
*I added Hot Mustard as I do to all my chicken nuggets on those rare Chicken nugget craving days
**site has restroom amenities and Holdenville has pretty much everything you might have forgotten to pack)
***depending on the temp, Spring / Early Summer sure, 100 August , no, just no

The Sycamore Bells
The tents are pretty cool. I had the place to myself for my 3 day stay and it was very nice. The AC in the tent worked well, and kept me cool all night. I never met the host, as she was in a quarantine, but the communication was there. Cell signal in the area on Verizon was not enough to make a call or check emails, but I was able to text my family. If you come when I did, know that it is hot, and humid. The cabin stayed hot all the time, so I didn’t spend any more time than necessary in it. Long enough for the 5 minute shower, then get out of it. The door was hard to open, but Em says they are updating it as they get time. The shower is very small, but works. Toilet also works. Hope to stay again next year to see what they’ve done with the cabin.
I did not use the bed in the tent as I didn’t have the right size bedding. I have a cot and mattress that I love, so I used that. If you are looking for 5 star accommodation, this isn’t it. However, if you want to see the entire universe in the night sky, love to listen to the bugs sing, and not die from trying to rest in a hot tent, this is a great place. Motorcycle specific: Do not come in to the camp spot from 56 unless you really like dirt road. You get 6 miles of it from the 56. I have a heavy cruiser with trailer and showed up late at night so that sucked. Going into the entrance was still dirt, but well packed and I only got a little loose in one spot.
