The Grove Elderberry Farm is a peaceful 20-acre retreat where open fields, rolling hills, forested valleys, and a winding creek come together to create a quiet, nature-filled setting. The property borders public U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land, offering expanded access to woods and waterways, and is conveniently located near northern access points to Smithville Lake for boating, fishing, and swimming.
Whether you’re wandering the fields, exploring shaded forest paths, or simply enjoying the wide-open sky, this is a place to slow down and reconnect with the land. As evening falls, the farm grows quiet - perfect for stargazing and drifting off to the natural soundtrack of crickets, owls, and other wildlife.

There is a lot of nut trees and chickens!
I inherited this land from my uncles who spent their whole life’s purpose to live and maintain the land. It has given me such peace and a great escape that I think everyone deserves to touch a piece of its soul to help you in your soul searching or unplugging from life to clear your mind to tackle the world!
I’ve grown up seeing the land change, watching how nature can change streams and hills and love seeing how years and years of leaving it alone can create such a beautiful canvas all on its own.
One of my uncles favorite things to do was to look for arrowheads and if you are familiar with ancient Indian practices, you can find many characteristics in these woods.

Like an oasis in the desert — so close to town, yet it felt completely remote and peaceful. The drive in on the trail to the campsite genuinely felt like wheeling through the Arkansas wilderness, which made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be back, and next time I’m bringing the family. Highly recommend!

This was a great site! It's secluded on the middle of 20 acres, well maintained, and stocked with firewood. The toilet and sink were a really nice touch.

A really nice, clean, quiet, secluded spot, which was what I was looking for. Either a good hike or a 4x4 to get down to the spot, but worth it. Looking forward to visiting John's place again.

Host was great with communicating with me on directions and responsive when I had a question. The property was exactly as described in the ad and my family had a wonderful time. Grab all the supplies you need, the town doesn't have many options for groceries. Not even really an issue, just a time saving tip. 😊

This was our second visit to JQ’s land and we just love it there! It’s quiet, secluded, our pups love being off leash and there is so much land to walk and explore. This time we also did some fishing in the pond, as well. We will most definitely be back next year. Super friendly host, beautiful location, well maintained, can’t go wrong spending time here!

This was a unique site as it was private and wooded. We could hear a barn owl hooting during the night. The kids really enjoyed the tree house with the hammock. The host was very helpful and guided us down to the river bottom. Thanks!

The area was spacious and private, exactly what I was looking for. If I had to nitpick, a sign at the entrance would be beneficial (very easy to miss turnoff), as well as a sign at the actual site. But the camping area matched the pictures, so that was easy enough. Highly recommend!

Exceptionally well cared for spacious property of mixed prairie and forested tracks. Especially enjoyed the numerous wildflower patches, walking paths and privacy. John was a wonderful, conservation minded host who met with me shortly after arriving, provided a brief tour that included best way to access his trails along the (Platte) river bottom and answered my questions as we walked together. Also found many hiking opportunities in the Smithville Lake area a short distance away. Would highly recommend this Hipcamp and would definitely return when traveling in the area.

I absolutely loved staying here! It's literally a slice of heaven! A beautiful row of wildflowers guide your way down to the campsite, passing along the fully stocked pond where the fish are too smart for my own good! The campsite had beautiful woods and trails leading to different spots on the property. I would definitely love to stay here again!
