Weekend Trip to Retreat to the Country

Such a peaceful piece of property in the country! Bill’s “Welcome” note and amenities made me feel right at home. The bunk house was so cozy and the kitties were adorable!

1 night at Retreat to the Country

My husband and I loved the Bunkhouse on sight! It was a great little place to escape from our long road trip and the relentless rain storms we'd driven through all day. Bill was very helpful and we passed a nice quiet night there. We'll be staying there again!

1 night at Retreat to the Country

Bill was a very good host, the bed was really comfy, it was a cute, quiet, and peaceful little property. I would 100% come here again.

Weekend Trip to Harmony Lake Farm Park & Playground

Let’s just say this was a beautiful and peaceful trip for our family . We all our new to camping so this was an amazing experience for us and the kids. Mr. Ken & his wife is awesome and very considerate they have everything you could need for a fun trip And plenty of of space and wildlife to enjoy we will be planning many more trips this summer!

4 nights at Four Creeks Campground

The most beautiful, peaceful little creekside campsite I’ve ever been to!

Weekend Trip to Harmony Lake Farm Park & Playground

It is a beautiful little place. The peacock is loud and the geese are really mean. it is a unique place to stay. I stayed there for a shower while working so I didn’t get to take in all the amenities but it looks like a lot of other people have a lot of fun there.

Weekend Trip to Four Creeks Campground

Beautiful creekside campsite! We had an awesome stay!

2 nights at Big River Outdoors Campground

We came in after a big storm when most people would not be out camping and were very happy with the site options. The place is HUGE and the owner was great suggesting local places to visit while we were in the area.

2 nights at Buehler Farms Glamp site 1

I have stayed at Ann's campsite before, and I will go back. It is just beautiful and secluded. I just love it there!

Weekend Trip to Arcadia Valley Outdoors Land

My husband and I had such a great time! We loved how quiet and secluded it felt. The tent sites were well maintained, especially considering all the recent bad weather. Arcadia is a special place for us...would love to make this a regular place! Thank you!!

1 night at Four Creeks Campground

We are experienced van campers who found Creekside to be everything we wanted (and needed). This is a lovely spot on a rambling creek. We had good access for our sprinter van and total privacy while immersed in nature. Shelley was a model host: provided great directions to their location; met us when we arrived; and offered assistance in multiple ways. The shower on site doesn’t look like much but was piping hot and met our needs on an early morning.

1 night at DnD Lakefront Campground Lake Ozark

Great location, very quiet, and good fishing. Camp sites were very clean also

1 night at Riverbend RV Park and Campground

Beautiful property off the beaten path. Nice amenities such as WiFi, picnic tables, fire rings and bath house. Amazing host who was very responsive. We were the only campers so we had to place to ourselves. The spots are close together so it may have felt a little tight had the campground been full, but we had a great experience.

1 night at B Berry Farms & Co.

Teresa’s lovely farm was a perfect stop on my way across the country. Peaceful, with walking trails for my dogs, a great place to relax.

4 nights at Spring Lake Ranch

Camping here was a really fun experience. The land is beautiful and the lake is full of aggressive panfish, spotted bass, and some crappie too. The hosts have kayaks, paddleboats, and canoes to rent. The bathrooms and showers were clean and spacious. However, the campsites are not. If the campsites are relatively full, I would recommend finding a less booked weekend. The campsite tent platforms are ~10-30 yards away from eachother so if it is a booked weekend, it will be very cramped. Our trip was great and since it was at a time where camping is not as common, we had well enough space and quiet. The hiking paths are nice and circle the lake and property. The instructions from the host were spot on and very helpful and I was able to meet the owners and they are very nice. The winery next door (shares the same entrance road) has a sign near the entrance to Spring Lake and is highly reccomended as they make great wine and are also super friendly.

Weekend Trip to Arcadia Valley Outdoors Land

Really nice campground with a creative vibe. The hot tub was spectacular. The location was great, and the tent pad perfect and soft.

Weekend Trip to Sudden Valley Ranch

This camp site is one of the best in the Missouri area. Randy was very friendly and welcoming upon our arrival. He shared the backstory of the land and recommended a few spots to check out during our time there. They have 3 different options and we chose the pasture campsite, which we highly recommend, especially if you enjoy horses. We added the game trailer on for our time there and would highly recommend. It came with so many different games to enjoy. They also had a lot of cooking supplies and utensils to use for preparing meals, which is another nice touch. If you are looking for a new place to camp, this is your sign to book at Sudden Valley Ranch. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Hummingbird Hollow Outdoors

My daughter and I had a wonderful time. All the animals are friendly and the creek is really pretty. This trip was very relaxing and just what we needed.

Weekend Trip to Spring Lake Ranch

This is a really nice campground and they have a lot to do. We definitely plan on coming back.

Weekend Trip to Riverbend RV Park and Campground

It has a beautiful view, nice hookups and it's close to the beautiful Niangua river. We spent one afternoon hiking at HaHa Tonka state park. That was a great experience.

Retreat to the Country

4 sites · Lodging10 acres · Holts Summit, MO

This land has been asking to be shared. First it was swings and little things for the grandchildren and their friends. Then the Cabin by the pond began to welcome visitors. Soon the steep slope anchored a Yurt with a wrap-around deck that puts you up in the trees. Our gathering spot by the creek became a camp site. Recently the grandkids' Bunk House found its way in. Our Retreat is 10 acres, narrow, but 1/4 mile deep, stretching down a steep wooded slope to a creek - and up the other side to the top of a bluff. It is only ten miles to Jefferson City but has a quiet and distant feel.

Orphans Island

3 sites · RVs, Tents3 acres · Orphans Island , MO

Float, Fish, Swim or vacation in the Ozarks. We have approximately 3 acers of the 15 we own set aside for camping. Plenty of room for two campsites on cleared, level land adjacent to the James River. Best suited for tent or small campers. We offer firewood, a port a potty, a dumpsite for holding tanks, water from our well to fill your water tank and electricity to charge devices and RV batteries at my barn. Generator rental available on a first reserve, first serve basis. Located about halfway between Springfield, MO. and Branson, MO. Nearby attractions include canoe rental, trout fishing, and mountain bike park. Please note, This campground is located in a floodplain and weather related cancellations are common. If you are camping to be close to nearby attractions or don't mind a muddy, flooded river I can let you camp on higher ground. Not quite as private but still lots of room. Fish, Fish, Fish. This river is primed for fishing. You will have to bring your own boat, or float as I don't have good river bank fishing access. I added a small floating dock last year to fish or swim off of. There is a state park boat ramp a short distance away. The steps in the photos are plenty sturdy to tie boats to overnight. This river is fishable with flat bottom jet drive boats most of the spring and early summer and floatable year round. You can float to your campsite and relax instead of waiting in line at the boat ramp. Also we are located about 13 miles from Crane Creek, A blue ribbon trout park. You can camp here and fish there.

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.

And there is a swimming hole not a half mile away. This is a quiet and private site, bordered by a neighbor's old forest on back, other neighbor's cattle pasture on side, and you're in one of the pastures used by the Horse Sanctuary. (You are camping about 1/4 mile, more or less, from our house.) We regularly see coyote, wild turkeys, deer, fireflies, and the like. We are just 1/2 mile off Old Route 66, therefore there are quirky little museums and great restaurants (for such a rural area!). Plus we are only about an hour's drive from Branson.

Camping in Missouri guide

Overview

Whether road-tripping along part of the historic Route 66, vacationing at the Lake of the Ozarks, or following in the footsteps of homegrown hero Mark Twain—Missouri is made for traveling. From Kansas City to St Louis, you’re never far from a state park—there are 38 to choose from—while the vast Mark Twain National Forest encompasses 1.5-million acres spread across seven different wilderness areas. Plan your camping trip from May through October to make the most of the forests, lakes, and wilderness areas, or cozy up in an RV through the snowy winter months.

Where to go

North Missouri

Kansas City, Missouri’s largest city, is best known for its jazz scene and BBQ restaurants, but there are also plenty of natural attractions to explore in the north. Head to nearby Weston Bend State Park to camp along the Missouri River, or go biking and horseback riding along the multi-use trails of Crowder State Park. Over on the eastern state border, Wakonda State Park has six lakes to choose from, while the Mark Twain State Park has family campgrounds in the Salt River Hills.

Central Missouri

State capital Jefferson City lies at the heart of Missouri, and just to the north, Rock Bridge Memorial State Park provides tranquil camping amid a backdrop of natural caves, streams, and woodlands. Summer campers flock to the Lake of the Ozarks region, where the huge reservoir is fringed with sandy beaches, golf courses, and restaurants. If you tire of the Ozarks camping resorts, Bennett Spring State Park makes a worthy alternative, renowned for its trout fishing.

St Louis and Southeast Missouri

At the meeting point of the Mississippi and the Missouri Rivers, St Louis is home to one of Missouri’s most visited attractions, the Gateway Arch National Park. Nearby, hikers can enjoy full-amenity camping at Meramec River State Park, while Castlewood State Park is renowned for its mountain biking trails, and Sam A Baker State Park is one of the region’s most visited. Alternatively, escape to the wilderness of the Mark Twain National Forest, where you can choose between tent/RV sites, cabins, or dispersed camping in the woods.

Southwest Missouri

Bordered by Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, the southwest is Missouri’s wild frontier. Venture into the Mark Twain National Forest to enjoy backcountry camping in the wilderness, rev up your OHV and tackle the off-road trails of St Joe State Park, or fish for rainbow trout in the stocked waters of Roaring River State Park. Finally, don’t miss the hike to Grand Falls. The 163-foot wide waterfall is Missouri’s largest, and lies just outside of Joplin.
