Nice spot to spend a night. The shower, restroom, and laundry were clean and the water was hot. You can hear the interstate traffic but it didn't bother us at all. We would stay again!

1 night at Sams Town
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.

Very simple campsite right off I-40. Perfect overnight stay. Shower was wonderful. There are laundry facilities too. Also, a pretty nice play area for kids and adults.
Burl was very welcoming.

Easy to find and pull into. Nice laundry facility. Beside historic Route 66. Also beside the interstate, so if that kind of noise disrupts your sleep, this may not be the best place for you. It didn't bother me. Cute decorations for the autumn season and a huge community fireplace with wood was a nice touch.

There were three campers present for the evening with plenty of room for all. Easy walking around to get in a few steps after a long drive. Would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property! It was our second stay here, the first was 5 years ago. It was fun to be back with our kids a bit older.

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.

Burl met us promptly when we arrived and graciously offered us any site we wanted. We chose a site next to the bathhouse because it was a bit further from the road. All the sites have full hookups and are mostly level. Burl and his family live on this working farm with horses, goats, chickens, and probably a lot more that we didn’t see. The bathhouse has a laundry room and one shower/bathroom that were cool and clean. We enjoyed watching them work with the horses after dinner and sitting in the rocking chairs in the shade. I recommend Deepcreek Ranch and would certainly stay there again. We couldn’t resist buying a few dozen farm fresh eggs for our journey.

This was a welcoming spot after being on the road for a few days. The spot was clean and quiet, complete with a cuddly kitten, a clean, full kitchen and a real bathroom. I was able to wash and cut our veggies and fruit and take our roasted chicken off the bone. It felt luxurious. I would stay here every time I cross the country on this path. Thank you for hosting us and for having a beautiful property!!!
10 STARS!!!

1 night at Sams Town
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.

Weekend Trip to Sams Town
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!

Really nice stop over in Oklahoma. Burl and his crew were so kind and welcoming, letting me and my dogs explore the ranch and stretch our legs after a long car day. The shower was lovely. Would definitely stop here again!

Nice for a quick over night stay. All the basics you need. It is beside the I40 so if not running AC you may have noise. The showers could use a little cleaning and the bathroom in general.

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!

Weekend Trip to Sams Town
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.

We pulled in late at night and knew we were on Foss Lake but it wasn't until we awoke this morning to the sun rising over the water --which our site was backed up to--did we truly get to take in the beauty of this campground! Great bathrooms with coin showers that are within walking distance...complete with fire pits, picnic tables, and guys, it's one excellent place to star gaze.
