The pasture is quite visible from Old Route 66, nearly adjoining it. Therefore people traveling “the Mother Road” find it convenient to stay with us. Grass is the best forage for horses, especially older ones, so we take care of our pastures, making for beautiful scenery for campers, too. Plus the entire back mile is bordered by old forest. And there is a swimming hole not a half mile away. This is a quiet and private site, bordered by a neighbor's old forest on back, other neighbor's cattle pasture on side, and you're in one of the pastures used by the Horse Sanctuary. (You are camping about 1/4 mile, more or less, from our house.) We regularly see coyote, wild turkeys, deer, fireflies, and the like.   We are just 1/2 mile off Old Route 66, therefore there are quirky little museums and great restaurants (for such a rural area!).   Plus we are only about an hour's drive from Branson. MO. which is a known tourist attraction.

This is located on the land my grandfather Clifford Clark purchased. The original property line stretched down into what is now Lost Valley State Park. The front door of the cabin is closer to Eden Falls than the trail head itself, located in the Boxley Valley. We welcome you to join us on the farm!Learn more about this land:Enjoy this cozy cabin nestled in the heart of the Ozarks. With a magnificent view of Lost Valley, you may not want to leave the farm. While remotely located just off of Fire Tower road, it still places you just minutes away from Ponca, Lost Valley, and other amenities of the Ozarks, (the front door of the cabin is closer to Eden Falls than the trailhead itself, located in the Boxley Valley). This cabin comes with a yard of your own, a fire pit, an ice maker, a smart TV with free WiFi, a grill, and modern plumbing to make this little cabin your home away from home. Directions- Take Firetower Rd off of Highway 43. Go exactly 3.5 miles and turn left on Stoverville Road. Pass Crossroads church and stay straight (do not turn left directly after the church, it takes you to Ponca the back way, down the mountain). Cabin will be on the left just past the third cattle guard. It is exactly one mile from Firetower Road. Just open the gate and make yourself at home. Contact us for any questions!

Weekend Trip to Riverdream Camps
This was our second stay at Riverdream, and we love it! Beautiful sky without light pollution, no noise from traffic or what I guess you'd call "city life." My husband & I stayed in a tent both trips, and we were comfortable in each site. Toilet/showers are extremely clean and always stocked. Water flow and temperature is great. Kings River is a short mosey away from camp. Berryville on one side, Eureka Springs on the other. The Hosts have always been kind and quick to assist when we needed it. Their land is perfect for a quick weekend getaway, or a lengthy stay. (You won't regret either one.)

I felt like my dog and I had the entire beautiful property to ourselves. I was traveling across the country and arrived late at night after a long day of travel, but we were able to still easily set up for the night based on the instructions. The sky of stars, without any light pollution, was spectacular! We had a great time and would love to come back!

This place was 10/10, absolutely awesome. Hot tub, cold plunge, sauna, communal hang out space, showers, coffee, snacks, bike wash! It had everything we needed and could possibly want. Jeremy was very attentive, friendly, and made us feel comfortable to make ourselves at home. I had to do some remote work, and having the lounge with a tv was so very welcoming while it rained for two days straight. We will be back!

Excellent location for cycling. Short drive from town located right on some of the best gravel routes in the sugar creek/Pea Ridge area. Rustic camp site with 30 amp hookup. Hosts were friendly and quick to address questions and solve a technical problem with the 30 amp service. Would definitely stay again.

This place was very peaceful. It had 30A power and water but no sewage or garbage. It’s not too far out of town, on a road that is very nice for gravel riding or running. The only downside is that the gate to get in and out is kinda tight, so it’s not super easy to get in and out with my 28ft airstream.

This was one of the most beautiful camping spots I’ve had the pleasure of using. It’s located in the Wilderness Rider Buffalo Ranch & Adventure Park so you can look at the camping spots online. I did not know this but in calling, Rick guided me through the whole thing with so much patience. We ended up at Sunrise Knoll and it was incredible! Great stone fire pit, 360 view of the hills and valleys, 30 yds from the outhouse. We had neighbors but couldn’t see or hear them. Dogs had the best time running around and the stars were out of this world. Even saw the buffalo when leaving the park the next day! We will be back and can’t wait to try a different spot to experience even more of this treasure. Can’t recommend enough

We bought our land in 2004 for riding and getting away. Built a cabin for us and our 6 children to stay in, when we came riding.  We have been told that these hills were once used as strawberry farms. We still find wild strawberries growing. The hills we ride and hike in, were once used by Jessie James and his gang.  They robbed the local bank in Pineville, MO.  And the first Jessie James movie, filmed in 1939, with Tyrone Power as Jessie James and Henry Fonda played Frank James.
