Dispersed Camping in the Ozarks: Hiking to Hidden Waterfalls

Were dispersed camping in the Ozark National Forest with our camp setup next to Hurricane Creek. The first night Kellie cooks her baked three cheese macaroni. Cody hikes into the forest of the Ozarks in search of waterfalls. After a few hours of bushwhacking, he finds an epic hidden waterfall. That evening, Kellie cooks her Spicy Pepperoni Pizza with caramelized red onions in the Dutch Oven. She has cooked this many times at home, but never camping. So this was a first! The next day we hike to the beautiful Pam's Grotto Waterfall. We finish our weekend camping adventure with a short, but hard hike to the Arkansas Sphinx with a breathtaking view above the Ozark Mountains.

We have such a beautiful state!

[@daynacameron1092]

My ZEN moment of the week!!!! And that PIZZA....!!!!!!!!! What a weekend and what a BEAUTIFUL State we live in!! I Love Cody’s excitement in the beauty he finds. I always feel like I’m right there with y’all which is great for me since I can no longer get out like this. Look forward to the next adventure. BTW Kelly high five on that PIZZA!!!

[@TheArtisticGardener777]

Kelly: “I’m bored...” . Meanwhile Cody’s off in his happy place! Lol😊

[@kimboeke9115]

The waterfalls and pooling area absolutely fabulous! Thank you for taking us along with you.

[@wolfbisbing486]

Absolutely gorgeous feature on this one. Kellie missed the first couple of falls. The one Cody went to alone was so beautiful. I hope Kellie went there off camera. Thank y’all so much for bringing me along on your adventures.

[@ram8306]

Cody thanks for bringing us along on your hike. Those waterfalls were awesome and looks like some pretty nice swimming holes too. Kelly you rocked that pizza. That cast iron oven worked wonders.

[@darksideemt]

Making me hungry as always watching your amazing cooking. That was honestly one of the best looking pizzas I've ever seen.

[@DGMC306]

“I’d buy that for a dollar” hahahaha. Another great video guys! Eating like kings out there!

[@pamelamikel7967]

Epic cinematography as always. Cody you rock. How 'bout a dome life camp cookbook Kellie. You rock. Y'all rock...

[@lindagolden9892]

Kelly - You are one amazing campfire chef. I’ve never seen Dutch oven cooking before and what you’re capable of gourmet preparing. Cody is one lucky man to have taken your hand in marriage. May you both enjoy plentiful seasons of love, life and camping adventures yet to come. 🥂

[@stevestokes2946]

Thanks Cody for the waterfall finding adventure!! Thanks Kellie for the great cooking ideas!! You all are a blast to watch!! We are watching about 5 a night to see them all. Thanks again!!

[@veldasellers4021]

That first waterfall Cody discovered was like something out of a dream. The Ozarks have some really amazing water features. Kelly's pizza looks so delicious. I've always wanted to get a cast iron dutch oven for baking on the campfire. It's next on our list now!

[@exploringcoasttocoast0203]

Moss: me me Love seeing the moss and with flowers or a waterfall- bonus! Very cool.

[@charleswolff2887]

Arkansas is now on our bucket list for camping.

[@karamaybee2314]

That is a great looking deep dish pizza

[@karenr67]

Nice trail walks 🚶‍♀️👌 Pizza looked yummy.

[@lindaharshman4228]

I love what you said about explore and not just tour. And this morning I made a cup of tea and the little tag has a quote…”There is pleasure in the path less woods. -Lord Byron”. 😎 Thought you guys might appreciate that.

[@stevestokes2946]

I really think my wife and I are considering spending a week in Arkansas just exploring and finding new places to camp. We live in northwest Missouri and we honeymooned in Eureka Springs and loved it!! Disperse camping just looks like so much fun and you all make everyone realize that little gems/oasis's are out there where you can go and relax. And the diamond mine video, we must do. Thank you thanks thank you thank you and thanks!!

[@jasonmakai1576]

I know I'm kinda off topic but do anybody know a good place to stream newly released series online ?

[@kit3182]

Loved everything about this video! From the site to the final hike! The waterfall find was amazing as if we were there with you! Kelly, you never disappoint. You’re so calm and collective. Y’all compliment one another! Love y’all!

[@justaroundthebend6679]

Awesome video.... Thank you for all the hard work you guys put into your videos... I love watching them, so much nature and informative .... Thank you!

[@oshngrl4evr]

The food...the moss...the waterfalls...love it! 😍 Question for you- what plates are you using? I love them!!!

[@CodyandKellie]

Bare bones from gear.com

[@peachykeen6185]

These videos just bring me so much peace. Whatever is going on in my life just gets trumped by y’all’s videos! Love how unforced y’all’s videos are as well, just love and appreciate y’all so much. Thank you thank you 😊

[@deannaroberts8977]

God Bless you both and Safe Travels maybe we will bump into each other 🙏❣

[@jimwilliams2753]

Another awesome vlog, you guys rock, and i think Kelly could cook anything while camping, see you both on the other

[@whiteeaglehodges45]

I geek out over moss too,so many species

[@miltonthacker1586]

It's not the work getting to it ,its the beauty when you get there right , its amazing to we got this so close to home !!

[@mcelveen04]

My favorite area in Arkansas. Thanks for the history lesson on it. We don’t hike much but rode the side x side all around that area. Love the 60’ falls and frog bayou areas.

[@ibdaffy]

That was so truly enjoyable guys! The pizza looked divine as did the waterfall Cody found and then, your final hike. For a space in time, I was there in Arkansas...so beautiful and peaceful. Thank you for that experience. God bless you both!

[@billmccullough2323]

Another epic video! Great scenery, great camp site, and great cooking! Kelly's cooking is inspirational for when we go camping. Hamburgers and hot dogs are ok for when the grandkids are with us. When it is just us, I like attempting to duplicate some of Kelly's recipes.

[@judyderieux8484]

Beautiful waterfalls.....beautiful rocks..great pizza✨

[@TranceDivine]

that waterfall was epic for sure..I really want to come down to the Ozarks one day...so beautiful

[@LexicAver]

yum yum

[@brannonrushing6575]

I really enjoyed this video. My wife and I enjoyed Hurricane Creek Wilderness! We can't wait to go back when we have longer to stay!

[@streetsigns71913]

This is why I totally geek out over cast iron. Awesome pizza.

[@hf3490]

“I’m really scared”. I laughed right out loud at that. You’re funny. Obviously a guy who doesn’t know his way around a kitchen. Have no fear, everything Kelly makes turns out. Cody you’re always so excited for the food. 🤓🇨🇦

[@ibdaffy]

I can hardly wait!

[@Revelacion320]

Awesome, thank you for sharing your weekends...

[@johnbamburg6848]

Cody, maybe you should invest in some quality walkie-talkies if you are going to hike alone. For emergency use only of course. No "are you on your way back yet" stuff. Haha!

[@rachelb5402]

I love the waterfalls and the sphinx! That pizza looks AMAZING!!

[@MoMo-is4ct]

I am done catching up on all of your Vlogs yaahooo lol 😂 can’t wait for more every Thursday at 8 :)

[@kimlittleton4943]

We just went to Roaring River State Park in MO (near AR line) and I swear all the hiking is Up HILL. LOL Steep stuff but great hiking.

[@kimlittleton4943]

I am lovin the hiking and the waterfalls.

[@lindag.l.9493]

Your cooking is GREAT.... and your content are So entertaining ... Where ever you go in Nature, it’s my Dream Vacation... Keep sharing your Good Life with 🇨🇦

Hey Cody and Kellie, my new DOME LIFE coffee mugs arrived today! Fast shipping too boot! I love them and they are quality! Already used them and I love them! Thank you guys and see you on the other!

[@bobwalker8917]

great music‼️‼️🆒

[@Steve_Farwalker]

Man, that mac n cheese has me drooling. Edit: After watching more of your vlog I came to the pizza part and NOW I'm gonna need a bib.

[@christinej1079]

That pizza was a beauty for sure and it looked delish. Thanks for another great video!

[@greygooseadventures5212]

We thought we had subscribed, so I checked! We didn’t’ t!!! Just did. We watch you guys a lot, but I wouldn’t have showered! You guys rock! Great content always! Juanita and David

[@rebeccajarrett6156]

I love love y'alls camping, hiking and cooking videos.. Ur food looks amazing!! But kody needs to at least learn to make coffee for u in the mornings! 😎😁

[@discoveringlockenest8420]

Awesome adventure, falls, hiking, food! Yummy! 🤙

[@chrisflemens4856]

Waterfall and pizza It's the small things. Another awesome video.

[@tylerscottjohnson9695]

Damn y’all got the entire chef kitchen out there with you! Dang that’s looks good!

[@lawcc1213]

Prettiest pizza I’ve ever seen! Good job 💯

[@PeaceLoveAndJudy]

That pizza looked so good!

[@pamelamikel7967]

That pizza looked amazing!!!

[@tressessalon]

I really love your videos! I just found you guys about two weeks ago and I am really enjoying your camping trips and the wonderful food that Kelly cooks, I’m impressed!! I live in Missouri and a lot of Arkansas is similar, but you guys just might have more cool places than we do, to explore . You are very brave to camp in a tent!

[@lindaharshman4228]

Great views, pizza looked amazing, and loved the video. 🙂

[@anniesacres7835]

Great video! I'm glad you risked the wind and put the drone up while at the Arkansas Sphinx. Looked awsome

[@kerrybernard6865]

That pizza 🍕 YUM!!!!!

[@Winnie122459]

Looks great!

[@conniewaite1996]

Wow!excellent view from that hill

[@juliechiswala9478]

I love love love your videos ,a joy to watch 🎉❤

[@thejudge61]

you guys are awesome

[@shanevann]

That 'za looks delish!! I heard you say you get the tap water hot for your at home dough, I work in water safety and never knew this either..you should always use the cold water line for anything you consume, hot water dissolves lots of really gross stuff in the pipes like heavy metals which don't "cook out". Just passing the knowledge along 💙 stay exploring!!!

[@suerich639]

I agree with the other comments we need a cookbook!

[@TheCountrySquireRV]

Cody & Kelly, as always another great video. We stayed in the Hurricane Creek last Labor Day and it was just magical. I love those granite rock shelves in the creek. So nice for sitting and soaking. Kelly, that pizza looked AMAZING. Honestly, like restaurant quality. I have to say though, I was cracking up at Kelly's comments when she was alone at camp. I'm the same way, I get bored when my hubs ain't around. Cody that waterfall, omg, how lucky of a find. Did you know it was there or was it a total surprise? Thanks again for sharing your adventures with us.

[@CodyandKellie]

Cody though he saw a waterfall in his gps and the drone. He was right

[@falcons5683]

I just love you guys! I'm so proud of you---and we aren't even related!

[@austinrose2987]

Just started watching you guys I love the videos👍 I need to find me a kelly😂

That pizza!!!!!

That look like ...ummm yea let's keep going

[@bill1i2am]

love it

[@3smoke]

Ok this was really good. I saw 40 min and was like I don't have time for that........ 40 min later.

[@xchick10]

Listen...I love my husband but I would marry Kelly too if she cooked like that for me 😅

[@jessys9868]

DO Pizza....the best!

[@conniewaite1996]

Have you tried breakfast burritos with chirizo sausage?yum

[@conniewaite1996]

Pizza looked fabulous!if you had left the paper a little longer,you could have used it to lift the pizza out of the oven

Well Imma go do yoga” that cracked me up, you guys are cute ❤️ The views are so amazing

Poor Kelly! She missed it!

[@SoloRider831]

Great vid! Thanks for sharing... and when is that Kellie's Cookbook we keep asking for going to come out? ;)

[@CodyandKellie]

In a few months Kellie will finally have time to put one together

[@rebecca6470]

Maybe use the lid of the Dutch oven as a griddle and tent it for pizza that way you don't have to figure out how to dig it out of the deep oven.

[@arvnatives4726]

The next time your up that way check out Pilot Rock and Pilot Knob

[@kaycee1948]

Great video, thanks for sharing. I have a question about your fridge/freezer combo. When using it with your Jackery, do you use the 110 volt or the 12 volt cord to run it? Thanks

[@CodyandKellie]

12 volt

[@stevestokes2946]

I forgot about the great pizza idea.... how much more authentic flavor can you get...homemade sauce, cooked next to a wood burning fire!!

[@skipsamples2647]

Another great video. How do you like the new stove? Can you get a low flame for simmering? I am looking into getting one and I am curious how it is doing. Most high pressure stoves are terrible with a low flame. Thanks,

[@CodyandKellie]

Low flame works good. It is finicky but it works

[@skipsamples2647]

@@CodyandKellie good to hear as planning on getting one in next few weeks. I know the Camp Chef is a great stove but hard to get flame low for some cooking. I guess it is like your home stove and you have to get use to it. Thanks for responding as ya'll are always very helpful.

[@cutestkittensanimalrescuep8531]

I know Cody was having a blast however the whole time I was remembering this movie I watched were some engineer dude that was up in Peru or something slipped and fell in some water and cracked his head and there was no one there to call the hospital or ambulance. I don't want to rain on Cody's parade but one you were alone which might happen from time to time and two he was going across slippery rocks in the water we won't be one thing if he was on solid ground but it's another thing when he's crossing water it's probably safe if you guys go together.

[@JayRheaBBQ]

Where in the Ozark s is this? We have section hiked parts of the Ozark Highland Trail. Just curious where y’all were.

[@CodyandKellie]

Big piney creek region.

[@JayRheaBBQ]

@@CodyandKellie thanks! Beautiful country!

[@bobsaenz5840]

Where exactly is this! It is beautiful!

I wish they made your tent in that color still, but they don't. I have a cabin tent, but looking for a dome tent.

[@rosettaware1686]

You guys should get a little scamper trailer to live in

[@sailingtba-teddybobbyadven4964]

At time 16:56, what is that on the log just behind the blue hose? Love the videos by the way. 🙂

[@CodyandKellie]

Not sure 🤔 this is an old video so we would have to re watch it

[@Myyst0211]

What sandals do you guys wear? And are you not worried about snakes hiking in the woods in sandals?

[@CodyandKellie]

They are chacos. No we just watch where we step.

[@billmccabe6188]

There's nothing wrong with you resting Kelly you work hard and you just tired maybe you didn't sleep that good

[@TheVbgonz46]

Omg what kind of cheese gravy did you make ???

[@CodyandKellie]

It was a béchamel cheese sauce

Cody don't kilt with your exploring. She can cook and is a looker too. Just sayin.
