Oklahoma/Arkansas Summer 2022

[Maul Crawler]

Anyone planning any trips this summer in OK or AR? Hopefully the jeep will be back up and running soon and I'm looking forward to hitting some ORV parks and the Ozarks.

We've been to Daisy, I agree it's a great little place.

I was thinking of stopping off in the Ozarks on my way westward this summer. Spent a week out there a few years ago along the Mulberry, Buffalo, and White Rivers. Not much fishing in the Mulberry but there was a Byrd's RV Park where they had an overlanding jamboree. It's right on the edge of the National Forest with lots of FS roads. If you're down this way stop here for some good food:

I just got back from doing an Express Rally Overland event recently and loved it. We started in Dover and ran up Granny Gap and a bunch of other trails for a few days. Camped on the water every night and had a great time. I had a trip to New Mexico planned but the National Forest got shut down so looks like we're headed back to the Ozarks. There will be a few of us running around the Indian Creek area for a few days in late June if anyone is interested in joining. We ended up at Oark Cafe as posted above last time. Great burgers and pies,

Definitely post again when you are making another run. I think I'm going to shoot for 2 or 3 days in the NW area somewhere here in a couple weeks.

We’re going the first week of august. Staying just southwest of Harrison. We’re planning on doing parts of highwater mark trail and various other fs roads, then head north toward Branson at the end of the week.

@Blue line overland Can you help this member?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that area. I'm in North Carolina.

we like the jasper area a good bit and there are a lot of good hikes there. we'll more likely go in the fall after it cools down a hair.
dont do too much boondocking in that area because most land is private, but the mulberry has some state camp grounds and the buffalo has camping for tents only...no rvs allowed at steel creek and surrounding areas unless it s a private camp ground

north arkansas in the off season is pretty great...less heat and less people

thats funny...
was chatting with an OB member couple years back and talking about the jasper area. i swore he said that the OZARK CAFE has phenominal burgers. we ended up camping at steel creek campground and a storm hit and wiped out our tent. drove into jasper to spend the night and saw ozark cafe. they had the best burgers ever and so went back for breakfast and was blown away by their biskits and gravy.
the place didnt sound like he described and now i get that it was OARK CAFE.
well...i will have to try OARK CAFE next time we go...

what are the odds??
