33mi from Hardy · 3 sites · Lodging

Robert'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 :)

4. Whetstone Boys Ranch

46mi from Hardy · 5 sites · RVs

Whetstone Boys Ranch & Therapeutic Boarding School has a rich and winding history. Our journey has taken us from Texas to Wyoming, Michigan, New York, Colorado, and finally to the peaceful Ozarks of Missouri. It was here, on October 9, 2011, that Whetstone became more than an idea — it became a home. In October 2021, we celebrated our 10-year anniversary and reflected on the more than 100 families we’ve had the privilege to serve. As a therapeutic Christian school for boys ages 12–16, our mission centers on helping young men and their families find reconciliation, confidence, and hope. We support struggles such as anger, depression, low self-esteem, and trauma through a compassionate, systems-based approach. Here, boys live, learn, work, and grow. Their days include individual, group, and family therapy; solid academics; outdoor exploration; and practical, hands-on experiences. Through meaningful relationships with staff and the structure of daily life, our students discover success where there was once frustration, courage where there was fear, and life where there was discouragement. We’re incredibly grateful to all who have helped us along the way. As we look toward the future, we remain committed to building a place of purpose, growth, and restoration for many years to come.

Weekend Trip to Williams Camp : Eleven Point River

We reserved the entire Williams camp for float trip group and it worked great! Had 4 campers setup and half dozen tents. Water and electric worked great also! Floated the eleven point river with Hufstedlars outfit. They were able to pickup/dropoff at our location, which is clutch, nobody had to drive after the float. It was really nice to have a place for our group all by ourselves, very secluded but still easily accessible. Phone service was 50/50 for some of us, but personally my phone worked well the entire time while at the campsite. You are definitely in the woods, so be ready with the bug spray and tick prevention. Overall, my group of 18 had a great experience here, we would def reserve this again when we come back to the 11pt River.

Weekend Trip to Pioneer Lane Farm

Abby, her husband, and their delightful family made our stay at Pioneer Lane Farm an absolute pleasure! Their communication was top-notch, always quick to respond and full of helpful tips. The children were incredibly polite and added a warm, welcoming vibe to the experience. The property itself is a stunning oasis—lush green fields, towering trees, and a serene ambiance that instantly melted away any stress. Safety was never a concern, thanks to the well-maintained grounds. The friendly, beautiful dog was the cherry on top, greeting us with wagging tails and endless charm. This peaceful retreat is perfect for unwinding, and the overall hospitality was outstanding. I can’t wait to return and would wholeheartedly recommend it to friends and family!

The camp site on Abby's farm was great. Quiet, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. The site is flat and easy to back into. There is a variety of farm animals including goats, horse, and cows. The cows came to visit me, staying on their side of the fence of course, and so did their big, tall friendly dog. Had a great time, and would definitely recommend their place.

A great secluded little cabin in the woods where our dogs could run around off leash. We stayed in the winter this time and the wood stove heat was very nice. Like taking a step back into time 100 years!
