Best Hipcamps in Missouri
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2025.
Amazing views
Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
Big rig-friendly
Spacious, level camping well-suited for travel trailers over 40 ft long.
Family-friendly
Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.
Summary: Easy access from I-70 Great views. Usually very quiet except for wildlife sounds Portapottie at both camping areas Great star viewing. Excellent conditions for pets Hosts live nearby and are good communicators via text or phone. Hosts can direct you to several local attractions and shopping options. Hosts are happy to take questions before, during, or after your stay. Narrative about Selby Farm: Selbys have lived on this farm since 1990. Doug and Brenda are retired from teaching at nearby public schools. Our Farm is now dedicated to boarding retired horses for their owners. We practice rotational grazing for the health of the horses and the health of our pastures. The horses live in a herd as they would in the wild. Basically, they are hanging out with their friends! They also get regular care and feed and so are VERY happy. You will see and probably interact with the horses if you wish. They are guaranteed to come closer if you have treats like carrots and apples slices. Our quiet county road used to be the main road along the river. A hundred years ago it was called "Shanty Road". The shacks that were along it housed workers that harvested food from farms in the river bottom. The only evidence of those shacks now is perrenial flowers growing in unusual places. The area is inhabited by professionals working in nearby towns and cities. In fact there are only five homes along our 1.5 mile section of Copps Chapel Road. The Missouri River is on the far side of the bottoms now, but has been very close historically. There is also a large spring flowing from a cave nearby. These river hills are composed of soils blown in from the end of the last ice age. Being near the river, erosion has cut down the surrounding area making the scenic topography associated with Missouri River valleys and river hills.

Big Oak Treehouse

100%
(299)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 20 · Vehicles under 35 ft
Sleep in (or under) the biggest White Oak in Moniteau County. We currently allow only one party at a time at this premium location. You will be the only party to use the area during your stay. It is very private. The view is incredible and unobstructed. Sunrises and sunsets are beautiful. Firewood for one fire per night is provided free. Ten minutes from I-70. Most campers set up under the tree and just hang out in the treehouse. However, some campers with a smaller tent choose to camp in the treehouse. The tree house is not a house until you put your tent on it. It is a deck that is well made and has solid guard rails. The location is over 300' from our residence and is very private. In spite of the remoteness, free high speed Wi-Fi is available at the site. Cell phone service has been good for campers so far too. The view is amazing in ALL directions. Native Americans used this location heavily as evidenced by abundant stone artifacts. They were the original campers here. The best view is of the Missouri river bottoms. I'm sure this is why the Native Americans used this site. Wildlife is abundant. It is usually very quiet except for the frogs, birds, coyotes, and crickets. There is a water hydrant about 150' away. We have a full size, but not ADA, portable toilet at the barn.

(100)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 60 ft
This is our best site. If you want power for AC, book this site early. This currently is our only site with 30 amp electric and water. Site 1 is long enough to accommodate a Class A pulling a car or long camper. A minimal amount of leveling may be required depending on how you position. There is room to disconnect from either end of your rig if you want to explore the area with your vehicle. I highly recommend a two night stay to get the most out of your visit. It also has a fire pit. A small amount of firewood for one fire is provided at no extra cost. The site has a great view.

RV/tent site · Sleeps 4 · Vehicles under 30 ft
This is on an undeveloped, but well mowed grassy area. You will have access to the porta-pottie. You can use a shared hydrant for filling bottles, washing hands etc. Priority use for electric and water however goes to campers who are in a higher cost RV site. Site 7 is close to the horses and has great views. No extra services are promised.

Site 2 w/ 20amp electric and water

100%
(28)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 40 ft
Site 2 is excellent for vans or smaller campers. This site is the owner's favorite because it has the best view for seeing horses and spotting wildlife crossing the pastures. The site can physically accomodate a large camper, but the electric connection doesn't have sufficient power to run a large camper. Plan on using your quiet generator if you have large power needs. It has a 20 amp/ 110 volt electric outlet. This is a normal grounded plug in like you would find in a house. Your dedicated power outlet will run one small air conditioner… but not all of your appliances simultaneously. Water is available at a shared hydrant so please connect to the splitter so as not to monopolize the water. You can orient your RV in either direction on this site. Firewood (for one fire per rented night) is included with the rental.

Site 4 The LONG one.

96%
(12)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 12 · Vehicles under 65 ft
This site will accomodate any size camper but no power or water is on the site. It is ideal for someone who is moving and has several vehicles. Site 4 is long enough accommodate a long Class A pulling a car or long pull- behind camper...Plus a few additional vehicles. It has a shade tree on the north side of the site. The shade tree is a good spot for your picnic table. No table or fire pit is available at this time. It is a very long level pull through site. If you use a generator, please insure that it is a quiet one. It is important to STAY LEFT when entering the area. This will take you past a power pole. Then, circle clockwise into the site. If you do this, no backing is necessary.

My stay was exactly what I needed from the hustle and bustle of life! The weather was absolutely perfect, making it easy to slow down, relax, unplug, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Doug was incredibly kind and welcoming and I enjoyed hearing about the history of the land and surrounding spots to check out. Daily visits from pups Ellie and Radar were a highlight and watching the horses interact with one another brought a sense of calm and curiosity. Sunsets were gorgeous and the stars were insane! If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway with wonderful hosts, beautiful surroundings, and a couple of lovable canine ambassadors 🐶🐶, this spot is a fantastic choice. I left feeling refreshed, recharged, and grateful for the experience. Highly recommend! Can't wait to come back.

The farm is absolutely gorgeous and quiet with great star-watching. The horses were grazing in a pasture by the camping sites which was a big plus for us. The host was very responsive to our booking, and very friendly when we met him. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Doug and Brenda truly have a little slice of heaven that they’re kind enough to share with us. When we arrived, Doug lead us to The Treehouse and told us a bit about its history as well as got to know us some too! He left us feeling very welcomed. The treehouse sits right in front of a pond full of bull frogs and the stables are in eyesight as well. We even had the chance to go in and get to know the horses with the ranch hand. We really bonded with Pepsi 🥹 their dogs also came and visited us at our site too! We enjoyed painting up in the treehouse and could see ourselves hanging out there all the time. We didn’t want to leave!

I stayed there several days. Doug helped me put up my tent. It was new to me and somewhat of a challenge. The last night my son and his young family joined me. My grandkids climbed all over some hay rolls while my son, his wife, and I sat poking at the fire as the sun set with horses the background.

Site 2 w/ 20amp electric and water
Beautiful, peaceful location. The kids loved seeing and petting the horses along with the opportunity for a hike with the dogs and a bike ride. Electric hook ups and potable water were great along with fire pits and picnic tables. It was a short drive from where we live but made us feel a little more secluded. The owners are fantastic. They checked in once or twice and couldn't be friendlier. We'll definitely be back. PS- only toilet is a clean, well-kept port-a-potty but that didn't bother us in the least. Just an FYI for those wondering.

Doug was quick to reply and readily on hand for anything. The property is well maintained and beautiful. The horses are lovely. We had a hiccup with our four year old and had to leave early. They were very communicative and friendly and made the trip worth it.

Our first night at the Selby Farm was fantastic! Doug & Brenda stopped by to greet us & provided a long 30 amp extension cord to reach our RV. Looked out our window the next morning & got to see 8 horses in the pasture! Unfortunately on our second night we had severe weather roll into the area with strong winds, heavy rain & the possibility of tornadoes. We opted not to stay due to the severe weather. We would have loved to extend our stay.

Doug and Brenda were amazing host! They were flexible with our late evening arrival time and checked on us every day. We learned a lot about their farm from themselves and their farm hand, Johnny. We got to feed all the animals, pick and keep chicken eggs and venture around the whole farm each day. We went when it was very cold and they made sure we had enough firewood to stay warm. They were wonderful to meet and get to know! We were inspired to eventually have a farm and animals of our own one day when we can settle down. Also, the stargazing was amazing!

We had a great time camping around the giant oak tree, which is scenic and impressive. There was plenty of room on level ground to set up our tents. Doug was an attentive host, too. We appreciated the Solo Stove campfire setup on a cold night. The whole area is beautiful in the fall. I wish we had more time to explore. Maybe next time!

Shelby Farm was very relaxing and tucked away just far enough to feel the solitude with nature. No road noise, horns beeping, or distant sirens. Great spot to just sit back and take it all in. Doug was very responsive and although we didn’t get a chance to meet, I felt he went out of his way to make sure my stay met expectations.

The drive from the interstate was a bit intimidating in the dark for an over-60 flatlander. But, it was beautiful in the morning... just like their property & the horses! So, if you see better in daylight & are used to straight, flat roads... just try to arrive before dark. Their property felt safe & away from it all. Very quiet. You can see lots of stars!
