Weekend Trip to Pioneer Lane Farm

Abby, her husband, and their delightful family made our stay at Pioneer Lane Farm an absolute pleasure! Their communication was top-notch, always quick to respond and full of helpful tips. The children were incredibly polite and added a warm, welcoming vibe to the experience. The property itself is a stunning oasis—lush green fields, towering trees, and a serene ambiance that instantly melted away any stress. Safety was never a concern, thanks to the well-maintained grounds. The friendly, beautiful dog was the cherry on top, greeting us with wagging tails and endless charm. This peaceful retreat is perfect for unwinding, and the overall hospitality was outstanding. I can’t wait to return and would wholeheartedly recommend it to friends and family!

The camp site on Abby's farm was great. Quiet, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. The site is flat and easy to back into. There is a variety of farm animals including goats, horse, and cows. The cows came to visit me, staying on their side of the fence of course, and so did their big, tall friendly dog. Had a great time, and would definitely recommend their place.

Robert's Redneck Retreat is located on about 16 acres of pasture and 58 acres of forested land with a creek and trails running through it. Our property also adjoins 1200 acres of the Mark Twain National Forest, dotted with springs, trails, rivers, lakes, ponds and breathtaking views. We have three small cabins on the property that are spaced out for privacy. There are also potential for tent camp sites.My husband and I love nature, farming, gardening, and sharing time with like-minded individuals. Our dream is small scale hobby farming adjoined with cabin rentals, allowing trees to regrow in places that were once pasture in order to do our part to help maintain habitat for wild animals and plants. It is a balance that we love and it is our pleasure to share this property with you. We are new here, but we are not new to the camping world; we have been helping campers have positive experiences since 2013 and already have over 170 positive reviews on Airbnb. We would love for Hip Campers to come experience our brand of cabin camping, with farm and forest experiences.A little history of the surrounding area: The Mark Twain National Forest was stripped by loggers in the 1800's and was purchased by the government as a preserve. Since then, it has regrown into hardwood forest, dotted with remnants of pine. It feels wild and untouched, despite knowing it's history. And within it, it harbors all manner of waterways, wildlife, plants, and fungi beyond your imagination. We love southern Missouri and hope you come catch a taste of the wildness that is the Forest. Disconnect, unplug, lose your cell signal, and come find yourself in the woods :)

After lunch, head out on a kayak or pedal boat and watch the magnificent dogwoods bloom throughout the park.
