There are several locations around Williams Rock to camp, open cave areas, with a 5 acre lake to tool around on if you have brought a kayak or small boat.

Two distinct forests rolled into one package! That means twice the amount of outdoorsy goodness to explore. The Ozark National Forest covers most of the Ozark Mountains, including the highest peak in the state. It’s awesome here when the dogwood and redbuds bloom in the spring, and when the leaves change color in the fall. The St. Francis National Forest is more diverse, with the St. Francis and Mississippi Rivers running through it, as well as lakes, valleys, and tons of wildlife. It’s the only place in the national forest system where you can access the Mississippi River from the shore, so that right there is a must do! The whole expanse of land is filled with multi-use trails, hundreds of campsites, spots for swimming, fishing, and boating, and even some amazing caves to explore. Mother Nature crushing it as usual.

Absolutely wonderful camping experience on Ed's land. The most unique part was the camping area was right next to the barn with a small community farmers market. We stayed up late one night with a hankering for ice cream and went right over and bought some. The bathrooms were nice and always clean. We were Tall trees over head, nice amount of space that felt relatively private with trees and fences on pretty much all sides besides the occasional car that drove on the road next to the site.

Weekend Trip to Barnyard Camping Experience

Sharita and her barnyard crew were fantastic hosts from the moment I arrived! I enjoyed camping amongst the chickens and ducks. The overall site was better than expected, with everything I needed. The porta potty was just a short walk way and was very clean, and I had access to a microwave and mini fridge, too. It was pretty rainy and wet during my stay, but Sharita was extremely kind and made sure I stayed dry. She even set up a painting lesson in the barn, and I had a fantastic time learning from her! I highly recommend staying at the barnyard and will do so again myself if I'm ever back in the area!

We LOVED our stay!! It was quiet, great for star gazing, clean bathrooms and the farmers market was so fun to browse around. My daughter was in love with the in ground trampoline. We camped next to another couple but it was still very private. We can't wait to stay here again and spend some time on Petit Jean Mountain!

Quiet place to sleep and close enough to Pettit Jean to spend your day at the park. If you go in the summer watch out for ants at the fire pit! Ed made us feel very welcome and being able to grab a steak and veg from the market would have been ideal!

Ed is great. Very thoughtful with tons of information. I felt like I found the real stardew valley. Ed and his community come together to have a market. Always open but it sounds like it is packed on the weekends with all sorts of local food. I stayed on a Thursday so the market still had stuff but Ed said he was busy getting things ready for the weekend. The place is very private. I only heard a couple of cars from the road. I was the only guest that night. Will definitely be back anytime off of I-40.

We loved camping on Ed's property. It was quiet, peaceful, and a beautiful escape from city life. Ed was very kind and helpful. He met us when we arrived and showed us around the property. We enjoyed having a bathroom in the barn and got to purchase a some produce and honey from Ed. It's located about 10 min from Petite Jean State Park. I hope to come back soon!
