15mi from Joplin · 1 site · Tent, RV
Nestled in the serene Ozarks Greenwood area, surrounded by towering woods and trails with a spacious field, lies a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The starry sky above twinkles with a brilliance unmatched by any urban setting, offering a breathtaking backdrop to the tranquil handbuilt country store across the field on the hilltop where the "Western Territory of the Ozarks" Marker is located. There you can visit our store with a separate private heated bathroom for your convenience. You are now 3 miles from the closest town.
Tucked away in this tranquil oasis is a cozy campsite just for you! A fire ring perfect for roasting marshmallows under the stars. As night falls, the chorus of frogs croaking in the distance fills the air, accompanied by the calls of a mated pair of barred owls which lives in our woods. Here, you may catch a glimpse of deer gracefully roaming through the wispy air, or simply sit back and marvel at the beauty of the natural world surrounding you.
Just a stone's throw away is George Washington Carver National Park, this idyllic retreat is a nature lover's paradise! Museum, films, activities, trails, even an old farm house next to a spring fed pond and stream. Lot's of history all free admission and worth going just 5 miles away. We are centrally located in the United States and just 30 to 60 miles in any direction offers lakes, attractions and even an hour and a half away is Branson!
We are situated just off of state highway E, it provides easy access to all the wonders of the great outdoors, making it the perfect destination for those seeking a peaceful getaway in the heart of nature.

Great place for hiking and getting away in the woods. The trails are very well marked and the ropes help those of us that are , let’s just say, out of shape😆.
Will definitely be back.
Carol has thought of everything you could need and then some! Love her and her land!
