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 :)

Weekend Trip to Eminence Cottages and Camp
This little cedar "shack" cabin is adorable! Our stay was super comfortable, because the cabin is stocked with everything we could have needed: dishes, towels, bed linens, pillows, the whole 9 yards! They even provided dish soap and a sponge to wash any dishes we used. The cabin itself is super clean and smells like the cedar wood it's build with! There are 2 AC units, one in the main area and one in the bedroom. They were more than enough to keep us cool even when outdoor temps were in the "feels like 106°" range! The location of the cabin is super easy to access from side entrance without having to drive though the whole campground, and parking was convenient: right in front of the cabin. The HUGE porch was perfect for sitting on the rocker and watching the July 4th fireworks, although they were slightly obstructed by the tree line. This is our third stay at ECC, and our first in the Cedar Shack (we've stayed in the glamping tent twice before), and as always, Sandy was a great host - always super friendly and informative. Check in and check out are quick and simple, and the pricing was very reasonable. We will definitely be back to stay again! :)

Weekend Trip to Sinking Creek Ranch RVs & Glamping
My husband and I loved glamping at this property. The glamping tent was beautiful and had everything we needed. Everything was clean and comfortable. My husband raved about how comfortable the bed was. The AC unit kept it cool and comfortable. We enjoyed the swimming pool down by the creek and the fire pit by the tent. The shower house is nice and clean. I loved not having Wi-Fi with the exception of the shower house so you can check in. We went to dinner at Echo Bluff, which was only about 45 minutes away and had a lovely dinner. It was a perfect anniversary getaway.

All the comforts of a hotel with all the beauty of camping! No need to pack a sleeping bag, the beds have pillows and blankets already. Fridge, freezer, microwave, and cheap ice made meals very easy. The porch has two chairs and a small table. There is a cigarette container for those who need it. The picnic table was in great shape and the firepit kept our coals warm enough that I only had to light our fire the first night and it stayed hot enough to cook our meals for the next day. The bathroom had hot running water, a shower, and a flush toilet. That was super handy for our kids in the middle of the night. AC and heat kept us comfortable at night, while the TV and DVD player were a nice break when rain came through. We enjoyed the playground and the walking trail.
Definetly consider this cabin for your next glamping trip! (Cabin 1 & 2 are two halves of the same building. Cabin 2 was empty during our trip. It would have been a bit too cozy if we had neighbors that close. For more privacy, choose Cabin 3, 4, the Squirrel Nest, or the Tackle Box.)

Glamping at in the Dogwood Den tent at Sinking Creek was amazing!! Inside we were greeted with a simple luxury and softness. But once we stepped outside, it was truly camping at its finest. It was a perfect, secluded, beautiful campsite. Located on gorgeous property surrounded by forest and pastures. Every little detail made it feel so special. Highly recommend Sinking Creek Ranch! And Dogwood Den was just perfect.

We just spent a fantastic weekend at Sinking Creek Ranch, and it was the perfect family getaway. We stayed in the Maple Haven yurt, and it was impressively spacious for the four of us.
One of the best parts was the "glamping" convenience—walking into a tent with the beds already made and ready to go was such a luxury. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the portable AC/heat unit did a great job keeping us cozy during the chilly nights and cool during the warmer days. Having a fridge, microwave, and Keurig right inside made the mornings so much easier with kids.
The vibe here is pure quiet seclusion. Our two young boys had a blast playing in the creek (which was about ankle-deep near the bathhouse and knee-deep a bit further down), which gave my wife and me some much-appreciated quality time together.
The hosts truly went above and beyond. They were extremely helpful, even lending me a tool I’d forgotten at home so I could remove my car's luggage carrier. Their local recommendations were spot on—they pointed us toward a great fishing hole and a perfect swimming spot just 10 minutes down the road.
The absolute highlight: The first night under the stars. The sky is incredibly dark out there, and seeing that many stars reminded me of growing up in the country. If you’re looking for a peaceful, well-equipped escape, this is it. We can’t wait to come back!

What a perfect getaway! From the calming sounds of the creek just across the yurt to the breathtaking sight of stars and horses, it’s clear this land is deeply cared for and truly loved. The location offers everything you could need, whether you’re visiting in the off season or peak season, and the owners strike the perfect balance of being helpful while still giving you space to relax. The yurt, cooking amenities, and outdoor areas were spotless and thoughtfully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. I’ve already shared this site with many friends, it’s such a beautiful and cozy spot that I couldn’t help but recommend it.

We loved the tent! Very clean bedding and interior as well as very clean bathrooms. Bathroom and showers were a very short walk from the tents, and we had the furthest one away. It got down to ~35 F at night at mid 60s during the day and we had no problems staying warm. There are a handful of public hiking trails ~45 mins from the site, but not much else in the surrounding area. They do have trails on their property, but we didn't get a chance to try them. One thing I'd have liked to know, there is about ~12 miles of gravel roads leading to the site which tends to slow leaving and coming back, and could potentially send rocks up to your vehicle. Overall, we would highly recommend visiting, we had a great time!

We stayed in Wandering Willow and had an awesome time. We were able to park right up next to the tent, which made unloading and setting up super easy. We even set up an awning and cooked off our tailgate setup, and it felt like the perfect mix of glamping comfort and real camping vibes.
The common bathhouse deserves a special shoutout—sparkly clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with extra little amenities (things like water bottles and coffee creamers) that make a big difference.
Overall, this was a fantastic camping experience and we’d absolutely come back.
Only minor note: the tents are fairly close together (around ~200 feet apart), and with less tree cover in this season, it wasn’t as private as it might be at other times of year. That said, it didn’t take away from how great the stay was.
Highly recommend!

We camped in the safari tent and had a cozy lovely time. Although it was in a loop with other campsites it felt plenty private, set back from the road and separated from the other sites by plenty of trees. Didn't end up trying the tub, but it looked nice. The wood stove kept us warm throughout the night, and the solar power bank and water pump were a nice touch.

Wow! What a nice retreat. The sites are well maintained and everything has been thought out and put together for a peaceful getaway. The spa area was so very relaxing. We used the woodburning sauna and ice bath. Wonderful! The remote setting amongst the trees made the spa area a unique experience. So grateful for the composting toilets that were well spaced amongst the sites for easy use. Water was easy available. 10 mins away Elephant Rock and 20ish mins away from Johnson Shut ins. We will be back for another stay. Highly recommend.
