Two distinct forests rolled into one package! That means twice the amount of outdoorsy goodness to explore. The Ozark National Forest covers most of the Ozark Mountains, including the highest peak in the state. It’s awesome here when the dogwood and redbuds bloom in the spring, and when the leaves change color in the fall. The St. Francis National Forest is more diverse, with the St. Francis and Mississippi Rivers running through it, as well as lakes, valleys, and tons of wildlife. It’s the only place in the national forest system where you can access the Mississippi River from the shore, so that right there is a must do! The whole expanse of land is filled with multi-use trails, hundreds of campsites, spots for swimming, fishing, and boating, and even some amazing caves to explore. Mother Nature crushing it as usual.

With kids

4 nights at 479 Wagon

My family (3 kids- 6yr, 2yr and 2 months old and my wife & I) had such an amazing experience in this skoolie build. Bryce was such a great host and was very attentive when we had questions or anything we needed. He had everything we might need for our camping experience in the bus which was a nice feeling to have just in case we forgot something and didn't have to hall everything with us. Just had to bring food, our clothes and our sense of adventure! A nice plus when you have kids! Definitely will be making a trip back to the skoolie especially since my kids keep talking about living on the "Cool Bus" and want to go back! We will be letting everyone we know if they are heading to this area to definitely check this skoolie out! It won't disappoint!
