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 Four Creeks Ranch Campground

193889/10 awesome experience! Even though the waters were low due to the drought, the swimming holes were still deep and clear enough to do a couple laps. There were also several cool rocks/crystals that I spent my time hoarding 😅 I will most likely be back in the spring to fill another shelf. Michelle was also super sweet, and I could text her no matter what and she was very prompt with answering. She also gave me fresh eggs! Which with current grocery prices came at a perfect time to save my bank account 😂 Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a secluded retreat with nature. The noises from the other campsite didnt bother me, and I could even comfortably stargaze from a hammock i set up in the trees 🙏🏾

3 nights at Williams Camp : Eleven Point River

Very nice place will definitely be staying again. Power and water hook ups were great and it was very convenient. Close to town.

A Creek side Campsite, plenty of room for 3 or 4 tents.

Would definitely return! Creek was low, but everything is right now. Would love to see the campground in the spring when the water's higher. The ice and firewood available on site was clutch!

Weekend Trip to Arcadia Valley Outdoors Land

This place couldn’t have been better for our small group of campers. Highly recommend, hot tub, sauna and bathrooms were all very nice comforts while “roughing it”. There was ample space between campsites to make the place feel private. Great hiking trails on property with a beautiful lake to watch the sunset. Thank you AVO for a great setting for a weekend away from the city.

Host was very helpful. Loved the atmosphere and the cows. Plenty of walking space for us and our dog. So quiet at night, and no lights to spoil the night sky. Didn’t use any of the facilities.

7 nights at 1855 Campground

This was our third consecutive year camping at Bill’s campground, and each time is as wonderful as before (if not more). Bill cares for the land so well and thoughtfully that it’s difficult not to be stunned everywhere you look. Key highlights (besides the joy of wilderness camping) include a variety of terrains, a cold and refreshing creek, a pond, generous wood bundles/refills, and great conversations with Bill. There are plenty of attractions nearby such as Elephant Rocks and Johnson’s Shut Ins, which I highly recommend checking out if you’re in the area. Thank you as always, Bill!

Weekend Trip to Arcadia Valley Outdoors Land

Pro: Great spacing of smaller sites, peaceful area away from other sites!! Good size fire ring Bathrooms well thought out Places to park ok Paths to sites ok No poison ivy Brush at sites cleared Con: Road to get to sites REALLY bad. Huge ruts that scraped all vehicles on bottom and bad potholes. Trying to drive in the middle, the brush on the sides scratched cars. Had to pack out trash, no clear trash area No place to cook over fire, tiny house firepit next to large on, didn't seem safe to cook Large place to set things in picture leans so that plates an stoves fell off without rocks to hold. Overall; We would love to go back knowing now the cons to expect! Fixing the road should be a top priority. That's the only thing that would keep us from returning.

The renters are very nice and made sure that I had everything that I needed. The cite by the creek is setup very well with plenty of area. Also, i’m not from that area so I don’t know what normal is, but while I was there, I didn’t fight almost any bugs. The whole time I was there, I only saw a few flies. I’m from Arkansas where the mosquitoes will pick you up and carry you away. And if there is ever a time to where I can be outside and not get bit by a mosquito, it’s a really really good day. I highly recommend the spot.

A wonderful farm way off the road! Sites are wide with full hook ups. We only stayed one night on long haul across the country. Use google maps though, Apple Maps sends you the wrong direction! If your looking for peace and quiet and to get away from it all there isn't a better place.

The Pups love to camp, so if you have a dog friendly dog or dogs bring them along.

Beautiful part of the state, beautiful land, great camping spot. Even late in the dry season, this site is a wonderful getaway. It's tucked into the woods enough to have privacy, then opens up to two running streams that provide all of the beauty that moving water provides. Shelly and Paul were great to get us settled and supported.

We could not ask for a better campsite. Sites were clean and far apart for plenty of privacy. Unfortunately the creeks were dried up since there hasn't been any rain but it was a little too cool for swimming anyway. Michelle met us on arrival and guided us to our site and left us plenty of firewood for our stay. My dog also loved it! Hope to return next summer !
