Selby Farm Horse Retirement

10 sites · RVs, Tents75 acres · Wooldridge, MO
Summary: Easy access from I-70 Great views. Usually very quiet except for wildlife sounds Portapottie at both camping areas Great star viewing. Excellent conditions for pets Hosts live nearby and are good communicators via text or phone. Hosts can direct you to several local attractions and shopping options. Hosts are happy to take questions before, during, or after your stay. Narrative about Selby Farm: Selbys have lived on this 75 acre farm since 1990. Doug and Brenda are retired from teaching at nearby public schools. Our Farm is now dedicated to boarding retired horses for their owners. Feel free to review the Selby Farm Horse Retirement webpage if you are a horse fan. We encourage you to visit our business website where you will see more farm pictures, videos, and where you will learn more about us. We practice rotational grazing for the health of the horses and the health of our pastures. The horses live in a herd as they would in the wild. Basically, they are hanging out with their friends! They also get regular care and feed and so are VERY happy. You will see and probably interact with the horses if you wish. They are guaranteed to come closer if you have treats like carrots and apples slices. Our quiet county road used to be the main road along the river. A hundred years ago it was called "Shanty Road". The shacks that were along it housed workers that harvested food from farms in the river bottom. The only evidence of those shacks now is perrenial flowers growing in unusual places. The area is inhabited by professionals working in nearby towns and cities. In fact there are only five homes along our 1.5 mile section of Copps Chapel Road. The native Americans who used this area did so because of the great diversity of wildlife and availability of water. Also the view is amazing in all directions. Was using this ridge top encampment for security, or just because the view is so satisfying? The Missouri River is on the far side of the bottoms now, but has been very close historically. There is also a large spring flowing from a cave nearby. Witness the flint chips when you walk through our barn lot. You are likely to see a broken stone tool that was once worked on by a native American. These river hills are composed of soils blown in from the end of the last ice age. Being near the river, erosion has cut down the surrounding area making the scenic topography associated with Missouri River valleys and river hills.

RV camping with full hookups near Boonville guide

Overview

One of Boonville’s local museums is named the River, Rails & Trails Museum—and that just about sums up this town’s history. While the Missouri River and railways once brought travelers through town, today’s visitors might be biking the famed Katy Trail or driving Interstate 70 across mid-Missouri. In addition to the local museums, Boonville offers a charming downtown and plenty of nearby natural areas to explore. Those looking for a camping spot nearby will find private RV parks and glamping rentals. Public campgrounds operated by the Missouri Department of Fish & Wildlife are found at Roberts Bluff and Harriman Hill Access.

Where to go

Katy Trail

Have you ever wanted to bike 240 miles? You can in Missouri, thanks to the Katy Trail. This linear state park straddles a rail-to-trail conversion that crosses the middle of the Show-Me State, with tantalizing views of prairies, hills, and woodlands. A number of towns along the route offer refreshing stops, with restaurants and accommodations catering to cyclists. Campgrounds offer tent and RV sites, some with hookups. You may also find unique glamping rentals nearby.

Columbia

Columbia is the heart of Missouri geographically and home to the state’s flagship university. The population swells during the school year, adding energy to the already-vibrant downtown area, which boasts an eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, breweries, and more. Private RV resorts are available, offering amenities such as full hookups and free wifi. Public campgrounds can be accessed at Finger Lakes State Park, just outside of town. This park is a recreational hub, with fishing, paddling, and ATV riding.

Arrow Rock State Historic Site

Arrow Rock State Historic Site and Park lies just over 20 minutes northwest of Boonville, providing history, recreation, and camping. Several remnants of a small town built in the 1800s along the Missouri River have been preserved, allowing visitors to step back in time. For outdoor recreation, toss a line in the fishing pond or hit the trails. The park campground offers tent and RV sites, some with electric and full hookups.

When to go

Missouri experiences all four seasons heartily, offering great variations in temperatures and precipitation. Summers can get above 90°F with added humidity, while spring and fall are generally mild with occasional rain. The woodlands around Boonville are especially scenic in October, as the leaves change. Winter generally isn’t the best time for camping, as temperatures drop below freezing with the possibility of snow and ice.
