My family settled on this plot of land at the turn of the century, moving west in a covered wagon. And aside from a brief time in the late 80's it has been in our family ever since. For most of the 20th century the property was a small farm, grazing cattle and mowed for bailing hay. We are trying to rejuvenate the property and breathing some new life into this old plot of land. Learn more about this land: The Hill, aptly named, is a hilltop that slopes down to a large pond that divides the twenty acre property in two.  With plenty of room to stretch your legs you can enjoy a nature walk. In the evening enjoy the night sky around one of several fire rings, while roasting marshmallows. Easy access and only a quarter mile from the main road. Potential for Noise: MoKan Speedway and Active railroad nearby

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.

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.)

Learn more about this land: Situated atop a ridge in SW MO, on the eastern edge of the great plains just west of the Ozark Mountain foothills, you’ll have beautiful farmland views to the east, south and west, including incredible sunsets over the water of our pond (fish all you want, pull out crappie slabs for dinner). Expect peace and quiet here, with the exception of the occasional mama cow calling to her calf. Great spot to spend the night near the junction of I-49 & I-44. Ride bicycles, kayak on the ponds, take a walk in peace. Small town of Jasper is a few miles away, with RoadHouse Grocery and Liquor store, RV dump stations on both sides of the highway, and 4 fuel stops. Lamar (birthplace of Harry S Truman) is 8 miles north. If you're traveling with horses, there is a 1-acre pen available for holding them overnight. It is 6-strand electrified high-tensile wire with a pipe swing gate and a galvanized water tank. There's also a worked arena with small pens to keep horses separate but adjacent to one another upon request. Negative Coggins required. Prairie hay small squares available for purchase. Riding is not allowed. We have 2 horses on site that are vaccinated and Coggins negative. We have friendly medium-sized dogs. Yours are welcome to run free with the pack. Expect the usual sniffing around and getting to know one another behavior.

Weekend Trip to Bigfoot County Campgrounds
Found some trees perfect for a hammock, hiked down the rock trail, made a campfire cake, had camp coffee and enjoyed the scenery. It was my kind of party. Camper was in good shape, smelled and looked clean. Having a flushable toilet, a queen size bed to sleep in, and the option to use the stove were all very convenient (especially with a 4 year old). Great place for the price, I enjoyed the atmosphere and it was peaceful and fun. Host was responsive.

The Handcut Hollow campground was perfect for my brief stay in Bentonville for some mountain biking. The area was well maintained and provided the basics one would need for essentially a tent site: level ground, a clean porta-potty, tables and fire ring. Even in a campervan, the consistent level ground was convenient. The combo-padlock chain at the entrance appears to be a decent enough deterrent for honest campers, not sure how the grounds are monitored and didn't see any cameras. Cell service was 4/5 bars; I'm onT-Mobile. The Traverse connector trails are right next to the grounds and will conveniently lead you to the Handcut trail system/hub. Lastly, as with any wooded area be mindful of ticks. Not so much in the 'groomed' grounds, but the taller grass and shrubs on the perimeter. I'd found one tick under my dog's collar; he's fine luckily. All in all, a great, convenient experience. I was there in mid-November (and luckily timed with 75-degree days!) so it was obviously off-season with only two other boondockers there. In peak-season, YMMV.

Solid option for shredding the local trail or a quick drive or bike into town. I had a good stay in my campervan , campground was empty most of my time so it was super peaceful, even watched a couple deer pass by. Sites are flat and level , the sites’ proximity to each other is pretty close just an fyi. Gravel road to access the campground but in good shape. Portajohn and dumpster available. Other than that I think the grounds could use some nighttime lighting on the pathways/toilet/entrance gate. Thanks Hosts

Really enjoyed our stay at Pea Ridge. Damon was great & immediately offered up his knowledge about trails & things to do in Bville. His campground has a super cute set up with a communal fire pit/grill area & an old school bus full of informational pamphlets and maps. Not sure if every site has its own fire pit but site 8 does. Thankful to find a place that takes larger rigs as our options were limited at 28’. His location is super close to town and only took about 10 minutes to get to Crystal Bridges Art Museum.

The best camping in George Washington Carver National Monument, MO guide

Overview

About

Walk through the life of George Washington Carver as you visit his childhood home in this National Monument. You're likely to be astonished as you realize how talented this man was. He practiced art and music as well as botany. It's even more astonishing when you begin to realize the adversity and racial prejudices he faced on his journey, even being insulted by Congress. Start with the short film to orient yourself to Carver's life, then dive deeper with a self-guided tour. You won't believe how many uses this brilliant man found for peanuts!

A nice hiking trail around the monument lets you enjoy the gardens, see the Moses Carver house and enjoy a picnic on the nicely shaded tables. Yes, you can take your dogs on the hike.

The Rangers are helpful, and you can get drinks at the Visitor Center. If you want a bite to eat, though, you'll have to head back to Joplin or Carthage (or use those picnic tables). This spot is a must-visit for school kids, especially if you can time it for when they're studying Carver in class.

Hipcamp can help you find a wide range of camping spots south of Joplin. Pitch your tent by the side of a pond or spring, plug in your RV at a farm or winery, or opt for a cozy cabin in the woods.

**Recommendation for George Washington Carver National Monument** If you’re looking for an educational and inspiring destination, I highly recommend visiting **George Washington Carver National Monument**. Located in Diamond, Missouri, this site offers a unique and enriching experience that highlights the life and legacy of one of America’s most influential scientists and educators. The park features a well-maintained visitor center with engaging exhibits that showcase Carver’s contributions to agriculture, science, and education. The museum does an excellent job of telling his story, from his early life as an enslaved child to becoming a renowned scientist and advocate for sustainable farming. There are interactive displays, artifacts, and a short film that provides deeper insight into his work and philosophy. One of the best parts of the monument is the **nature trail**, which takes you through the beautiful landscape where Carver grew up. The scenic 3/4-mile trail winds through woodlands, streams, and prairie, with informative signs along the way that provide historical context. It’s a peaceful and reflective walk that connects visitors to the environment that shaped Carver’s passion for nature and science. The park is well-maintained, and the staff is knowledgeable and welcoming, always ready to answer questions and share stories about Carver’s life.
