Wooldridge, MO · 5 sites · Tents, RVs

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 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. 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. 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.

I texted my brother: I think I found a hidden gem after arriving. Baby goats. A burro. Friendly hosts. Hiking trails. Rocks. Camping on a ridge. Community kitchen.

Nice spot to cam. We stayed for 2 nights only one other person on site. Utilized shower house, good hot water, everything works as it should. Pay attention to the directions for roads due to several low water crossings if you take grapevine road. Site locations were flat with thick gravel layer.

Weekend Trip to Hawks Bluff Farm Campground

I loved my time at Hawks Bluff Campground. I chose to camp further away from the main home and enjoyed ample privacy, firewood, and endless incredible sights. Definitely prepare yourself for ticks. If you stay at the sunset view campsite head down the slope straight from parking and you'll find a magical rock to take in the full valley. Follow the main trail down to the creek and enjoy the wildlife, fauna, and peace. I didn't use the kitchen facility onsite, but did enjoy a private hot shower that completely revived me after my hike.

This campsite was clean, private, and absolutely wonderful! The fire pit was very large, which made for a great experience, and I really appreciated the cooking tools available since we forgot one of ours. The view of the moon at night was beautiful and added such a peaceful touch. My dog even got to make friends with a horse, which was such a special moment, and all of the animals were delightful. Randy was very friendly, and generous with his space. I will camp here again!

We loves the campsite far away from a big city, a highway or a railroad. A very lovely way to arrive there, crossing a kind of a bridge 😃 And also just a few miles away from Ha Hatonka State Park, where you have several lovely trails.

This spacious site is at the far edge of one of our hayfields/horse pastures. You can see the outhouse is a comfortable distance from the main area.

Man… this place just hits right. If you’re looking for peace, privacy, and that “get away from everything” feeling, this is it. Felt like I had my own little slice of the world out there—quiet, still, and exactly what I needed to reset. One of those spots where you wake up, take a breath, and just kinda smile for no reason. Everything was dialed in without trying too hard. Just simple, real, and done right. And shoutout to Randy—good dude. You can tell he genuinely cares about the place and the people staying there. That always makes a difference. Already looking forward to coming back. This one’s special

Weekend Trip to Sudden Valley Ranch

Im hesitant to write this review because im afraid our spot will be discovered! Randy met us when we got there and gave a brief history of the farm, directed us to our site and other than that we really didnt see or hear anyone. They supply firewood for a HUGE fireplace, there is a cabinet with essentials, randy was quick to respond the 2 times I reached out, 1 for a bucket for water (its well water and literally the best water ive ever had) and another bc i burned up a ton of wood and thought we might need more. There's a creek that runs through the property that would be awesome in the summer, and they have horses, turkeys, and chickens that we saw. The only thing I would consider a 'negative' is youre in nature and they dont nuke it with pesticides and the ticks were horrible. It was a warm weekend in March and the ticks were out in full force and we all eneded up with a couple despite bug spray. We did go the following weekend, I treated our pants, sweatshirt cuffs, socks and tent with Sawyers before we went and im not sure if it was cooler temps or the spray but we did not see any!
