Wine Trail Wilderness

11 units · Motorhomes, Tents37 acres · Pomona, ILWe call our home "The Villa". It looks like an Italian villa structure appropriately placed between two wineries in the middle of the Shawnee Forest. It is actually a straw-bale home with supplemental solar energy provided by an array of 18 solar panels. Originally built as a Holistic Healing Center, we have converted it into a comfortable home with great vibes. We have converted an old grain bin into a "GrainZebo" just outside our home as a great place to hang out with friends and family. We hope you enjoy the relaxed feel we get living out here in the woods when you come visit. We will be happy to help you feel at home out here.

Robert's Redneck Retreat, LLC

3 units · Glamping74 acres · MORobert's Redneck Retreat is located on about 16 acres of pasture and 58 acres of forested land with a creek and trails running through it. Our property also adjoins 1200 acres of the Mark Twain National Forest, dotted with springs, trails, rivers, lakes, ponds and breathtaking views. We have three small cabins on the property that are spaced out for privacy. There are also potential for tent camp sites.My husband and I love nature, farming, gardening, and sharing time with like-minded individuals. Our dream is small scale hobby farming adjoined with cabin rentals, allowing trees to regrow in places that were once pasture in order to do our part to help maintain habitat for wild animals and plants. It is a balance that we love and it is our pleasure to share this property with you. We are new here, but we are not new to the camping world; we have been helping campers have positive experiences since 2013 and already have over 170 positive reviews on Airbnb. We would love for Hip Campers to come experience our brand of cabin camping, with farm and forest experiences.A little history of the surrounding area: The Mark Twain National Forest was stripped by loggers in the 1800's and was purchased by the government as a preserve. Since then, it has regrown into hardwood forest, dotted with remnants of pine. It feels wild and untouched, despite knowing it's history. And within it, it harbors all manner of waterways, wildlife, plants, and fungi beyond your imagination. We love southern Missouri and hope you come catch a taste of the wildness that is the Forest. Disconnect, unplug, lose your cell signal, and come find yourself in the woods :)

Hummingbird Hollow Outdoors

5 units · Glamping, Motorhomes, Tents27 acres · Saint Clair, MOHummingbird Hollow Farm Sanctuary, Corp. was founded in January of 2020. Yes, right before Covid changed the world. I've lived on this farm since 2006, when my husband and I bought it as our dream home after the kids were out of high school. He wanted woods so he could walk out the door and go hunting, and I wanted pasture to fulfill my girlhood dream of owning horses (and all other animals I could collect) and pursue my passion of gardening. It was perfect, but tragically he died of ALS two years after moving here. He did get to fulfill his dream. I am continuing to work on mine and want to share it with you. The property and animals are here for you to enjoy. "Today, whatever is good for your soul do that."
