Robert's Redneck Retreat, LLC

3 sites · Lodging74 acres · Doniphan, MO
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 :)

Camping near Doniphan guide

Overview

The Ozark Mountain foothills of Southeastern Missouri provide an epic backdrop for outdoor adventures near Doniphan. The Current River cuts a wide swath through the hills, creating a natural playground for paddlers, floaters, and anglers. Nearby, the Ozarks National Scenic Riverways protects the waterways and historic sites, such as bubbling blue springs and picturesque historic mills. Small-town pride shines through in Doniphan, which provides a home base for exploring this slice of the Ozarks. Public primitive camping can be found at the Deer Leap Recreation Area. To find private RV parks with full amenities, head to Poplar Bluff or Van Buren.

Where to go

Ozark National Scenic Riverways

Spend your days exploring the best of the Ozarks along the shores of the Jacks Fork and Current Rivers. Then, sleep under the stars, which shine even brighter in this remote region. The National Park Service operates several campgrounds across this 80,000-acre unit, with a mix of electric and non-electric sites. Some are suitable for tents only, while others can accommodate RVs. Alley Spring and Big Spring are home to the largest, most developed parks. Primitive and backcountry camping sites are also available.

Mark Twain National Forest

If you haven’t had your fill of rivers, head to the Eleven Point/Doniphan Ranger Unit of Missouri’s Mark Twain National Forest, where you’ll find the Eleven Point National Scenic River. With undeveloped shorelines, this river provides scenic serenity for paddlers and anglers. A number of primitive float camps welcome boaters—or venture off the river to find more developed RV parks and glamping rentals.

Van Buren, Missouri

Van Buren is a hub of activity and camping in southern Missouri, located 40 miles north of Doniphan. Grab an ice cream cone or home-style meal at one of the many restaurants in town to fuel up for your outdoor adventures. Big Spring, one of the largest in the U.S., is a must-see, with dazzling blue waters feeding into the Current River. Public camping can be found on National Park Service, Army Corps of Engineers, and national forest lands. Private RV parks and glamping rentals provide amenities like electric hookups and family activities.

When to go

Summer is when the action is at its highest, as Doniphan’s float trip season kicks into high gear. The waterways are at their busiest, bursting with tubes, canoes, and kayaks, and yet, there is still solitude to be found. The spring-fed rivers provide a refreshing break from the heat and humidity. Though the water isn’t as inviting in spring and fall, the weather is, with moderate temperatures and scenic opportunities for leaf-peeping in the Ozarks hills. A hush falls across the region in winter, as cold temperatures and occasional snows descend.
