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 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.

Welcome to The Quiet Acre
Sometimes the best getaway is the simplest one.
Welcome to The Quiet Acre, a small family-owned campground nestled on 4.5 peaceful acres just outside Columbia, Missouri. Our goal is simple: to create a place where you can slow down, unplug, and enjoy nature at its own pace.
Our property is surrounded by mature woods, creating a peaceful backdrop for your stay. Spend your day relaxing at your campsite, taking a stroll along our short walking paths, watching for deer that often visit the back of the property, or simply enjoying a good book beneath the trees.
As evening settles in, gather around the campfire and listen as the frogs around our little pond begin their nightly chorus. It's one of our favorite parts of living here, and the inspiration behind our first campsite—Frog Hollow.
You'll also meet our friendly chickens, enjoy wide-open skies, and experience a slower pace that's becoming harder to find.
Whether you're pitching a tent for the weekend, traveling with a small camper, or simply looking for a quiet place to recharge, we hope you'll feel welcome here.
What You'll Find
🌳 4.5 private acres with a peaceful, wooded setting
⛺ Spacious campsites for tents and small travel trailers
🚶 Short walking paths around the property
🐸 A pond that's home to a lively evening frog chorus
🦌 Frequent deer and wildlife sightings
🔥 Campfire-friendly evenings
🐔 Friendly backyard chickens
✨ Dark skies, fresh air, and room to slow down
Our Campsites
Each campsite at The Quiet Acre is inspired by the natural features of the property.
Our first campsite, Frog Hollow, celebrates the pond and its unforgettable evening soundtrack. As The Quiet Acre grows, we'll continue creating unique campsites that reflect the character and beauty of this little corner of Missouri.
We aren't trying to be the biggest campground. We're simply creating the kind of place we'd want to visit ourselves—a quiet place where nature is the entertainment, campfires are encouraged, and the loudest neighbors are usually the frogs.
We look forward to welcoming you to The Quiet Acre.

This property is top tier. I set my tent up in the treehouse (not nearly as daunting as I thought it might be) and everything was beautiful, very private and peaceful and serene. Doug and Brenda and Johnny are all incredibly kind, and so helpful when my car had issues, and despite the stress I still managed to have a delightful time because of the space they’re properly afforded. Awesome sunrise and sunset views, good stargazing, lovely horses and dogs. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Unfortunately we picked a very rainy wet time to camp here but with that said we never had any worries about getting stuck anywhere we had to get to!!! Amanda’s son met us upon arrival and was very sweet to help guide us into our spot! While we never meet Amanda face to face she was very good about communication and answering any of our questions quickly! We were mainly only there to sleep as we were away visiting family during the day. This spot worked out perfect for our needs!!

My stay was exactly what I needed from the hustle and bustle of life! The weather was absolutely perfect, making it easy to slow down, relax, unplug, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Doug was incredibly kind and welcoming and I enjoyed hearing about the history of the land and surrounding spots to check out. Daily visits from pups Ellie and Radar were a highlight and watching the horses interact with one another brought a sense of calm and curiosity. Sunsets were gorgeous and the stars were insane!
If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway with wonderful hosts, beautiful surroundings, and a couple of lovable canine ambassadors 🐶🐶, this spot is a fantastic choice. I left feeling refreshed, recharged, and grateful for the experience. Highly recommend! Can't wait to come back.
