Whetstone Boys Ranch

9.6mi from Willow Springs · 5 sites
Whetstone Boys Ranch & Therapeutic Boarding School has a rich and winding history. Our journey has taken us from Texas to Wyoming, Michigan, New York, Colorado, and finally to the peaceful Ozarks of Missouri. It was here, on October 9, 2011, that Whetstone became more than an idea — it became a home. In October 2021, we celebrated our 10-year anniversary and reflected on the more than 100 families we’ve had the privilege to serve. As a therapeutic Christian school for boys ages 12–16, our mission centers on helping young men and their families find reconciliation, confidence, and hope. We support struggles such as anger, depression, low self-esteem, and trauma through a compassionate, systems-based approach. Here, boys live, learn, work, and grow. Their days include individual, group, and family therapy; solid academics; outdoor exploration; and practical, hands-on experiences. Through meaningful relationships with staff and the structure of daily life, our students discover success where there was once frustration, courage where there was fear, and life where there was discouragement. We’re incredibly grateful to all who have helped us along the way. As we look toward the future, we remain committed to building a place of purpose, growth, and restoration for many years to come.

We are just getting Dotson acres started. Our motto is faith, family and farmstead. We just moved here this summer of 2025 from Tennessee so the property is a work in progress. I am a veteren of the Marine Corps and also a volunteer firefighter and we live and operate under christian values. Eventually to add to your camping experience, ive got plans for some off grid cabins and an earthship. In addition to camp spots, ai would like to make a little prayer area in the woods with some benches and a big cross. We hope to have a trail cut and cleared for a small hike soon. The plans for Dotson acres is to also sell chainsaw carvings and other things I weld, sculpt or create. Plant starts and garden produce, chicken eggs and any other creative ways we can find to help fund our dream of being together doing what we love instead of going to a normal job to make someone elses dreams come true. Not far away you can visit Mark Twain National Forest, Montauk State Park, Ozark National Scenic Riverways, and the Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home and Museum to name a few. Roughly 40 minutes off I44 at rolla and 20 minutes ftom hwy 60 just 2 hours to branson and springfield. Walmart and fast food are just 10 minutes away. We are new to the area but there are other lakes, trails and stuff to do close. Lots of flea markets and antiques stores close by to go explore. Located on a small private lane there are a few quiet neighbors. There is a parking area to access trail by walk in, though we are trying to make it vehicle accessable. Our first spot is able to fit a small van camper or a pickup with a small box camper though its pretty tight. 4x4 may be needed. We appreciate your reviews on hipcamp and google.
