Welcome to The Hickory Chicken — Hard to find, worth the search!
Tucked away in the peaceful countryside, The Hickory Chicken is your ideal escape for outdoor fun, family bonding, and Southern charm. Named after the beloved "hickory chicken" — a local nickname for the elusive and tasty wild morel mushroom — our campsite captures that same spirit of hidden treasure and down-home discovery.
At The Hickory Chicken, you'll find full access RV sites perfect for weekend warriors or long-haul adventurers, plus cozy cabin rentals if you're looking to rough it just a little less. Spend your days casting a line at our well-stocked fishing spots, cooling off with a stroll through the creek, or cooking up something special in our outdoor kitchen space. Whether you're into s'mores or smoked brisket, we’ve got you covered.
Outdoor lovers will find plenty to enjoy — and hunters especially will appreciate the area's abundant wildlife and public hunting grounds. We're also just minutes from both the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, offering scenic views and endless recreational opportunities. History buffs and trail enthusiasts will love being a stone’s throw from Columbus-Belmont State Park and Wright’s Area 252 Ride Park.
Working nearby? The Hickory Chicken is a short, easy drive from the Four Rivers Nuclear Plant, Phoenix Paper Mill and James Marine Wickliffe division — making it the perfect home base whether you’re here for business or pleasure.
So pack your boots, your bike, or just a cooler full of snacks. However you like to camp, The Hickory Chicken is ready to welcome you with open arms.

Learn more about this land:
We have five campsites in 135 acres of acres of forest and ranch land in our working cattle and sheep ranch. Located in a serene valley in the Ozark Highlands, the Ranch has Sheep, Scottish Highland Cattle, Chickens, Ducks and Great Pyrenees livestock guard dogs (only in the sheep pastures - and they are friendly). If you want to meet our animals and see the farm we are happy to show you around!
This is a unique site located in the Ozark Highlands. Only 45 minutes from Cape Girardeau (a small river town on the Mississippi), and 45 minutes from the Arcadia Valley including Taum Sauk mountain (the highest point in Missouri), Elephant Rocks, the Johnston Shutins, and other beautiful areas in the highlands.
The farm is five minutes from Marble Hill, which is home to the Bollinger County Natural History museum which highlights the only dinosaur bones found in Missouri. The bones were found at a farm in Glennallen (a few minutes from our farm) as well as a great barbeque (Jay’s Restaurant) and a good catfish restaurant (Jers Restaurant). On the way to our farm, feel free to stop at the 1,700 foot deep artesian well to get a cool, refreshing jug of natural artesian well water – the water is free, but you have to bring your own containers!
We are two and a half hours southwest of St. Louis, and two and half hours northwest of Memphis.

We loved camping on Robyn’s land. She was very friendly and helpful. We arrived very late and she ensured we knew where we were going and the light was on in the cabin! Super cute little A frame was perfect for our camping needs! We felt safe where we were and the land was beautiful.

We had an AMAZING stay! We were only passing through for a night, but man I wish we could have stayed longer. A beautiful view, dogs allowed off leash, and friendly hosts to boot! We will absolutely be back if we’re in the area. If you’re considering this area, look no further.

Staying on Ed and Terri's farm was absolutely wonderful. They made us feel so welcome, we got to meet all the animals and learn about how they run the farm. We stayed right by the animals and watched the fireflies at night. The next day we bought some of their produce, the sheep's milk is amazing. Thanks so much, we can't wait to come back

We absolutely fell in love the moment we pulled in. Can we just live here too?!?
So peaceful, quiet, and serene. The 2 ponds were well stocked with bass, crappie, brim, & catfish. Very stunning sunsets too.
We were greeted by 4 of the sweetest & friendliest dogs and 3 cats. Our dogs felt right at home.
Amber and her husband were so sweet and made us feel very comfy ... kinda like long lost friends. Now we've made new life long friends.
Will we go back... 1000% yes. This hidden gem checked all of our boxes. Wonderful for those who just want to get away.
Thank you for allowing us to stay... 4 nights just isn't enough.

Beautiful site just between the pond and the Scottish Highland pasture. The animals are friendly and came to the fence to say hello several times. Ed was a wonderful host - attentive, friendly, and accommodating. He helped us bring our gear to and from the site and brought us more firewood when we needed it.
