My fiancé, our dog, and I had the best time tent camping on Travis’s land. He was extremely welcoming, which made our stay that much better. Travis was also very communicative and his directions made finding the site easy as pie. We weren’t entirely sure what to expect as first time Hipcampers, but I don’t think we will ever tent at a state park again. It was so quiet and peaceful! Needless to say, the next time we make it down to the Ozarks, we will be tenting here again!!

3 nights at Ozarks Piney Bend Riverfront
The view of the cabin was absolutely breath taking. The cabin overlooks the beautiful big piney river and outlooks large rocks and Missouri hills. We stayed here from 10/23-10/26 so the vibrant fall leaves painted the backdrop. Even just sitting on the patio drinking coffee was very tranquil. We could not kayak due to the weather since it was raining on and off during our stay. Lacy was so kind to give us a full refund and a discount code for next time! Outside the cabin there is a huge fire pit where we roasted marshmallows and stargazed. We recommend buying some fire wood from Lacey and utilizing the bonfire grill and regular grill. Lacey offers so many amenities that made home cooking meals super easy and enjoyable. We made some really amazing meals that we enjoyed by candlelight on the picnic table. The aesthetic of the cabin was 10/10 and super hippie/boho and cozy. Which we absolutely loved! Our dogs had a wonderful time playing fetch outside the cabin. One of the best parts was taking a hot shower while it was chilly outside. This was the perfect and most romantic trip for my boyfriend and I to celebrate his 30th birthday. It is our tradition to go Glamping for our birthdays. We’ve been to a few different airbnbs but we both agreed that this has been our fav.Lastly but most importantly, Lacey was an extremely hospitable host, really quick to answer any questions I had and went out of her way to accommodate us several times. Thank you so much Lacey we will be back:)

Clean, private, and spacious. The host was great and accommodating, the property and views were beautiful, and there was even some wildlife. Note that the ground is quite rocky when hammering in stakes. You do hear animals at night (coyotes, dogs, and a rooster) and planes fly overhead (I guess the site is near an airport), but I slept well with earplugs. I had good mobile service in some spots.

The best forest camping near Lebanon guide
Where to go
Ha Ha Tonka State Park
Discover a unique view of Missouri history with a walk up to Ha Ha Tonka Castle Ruins, where hikers can explore the ruins of a 1905 stone mansion. Geological attractions like caves and sinkholes draw campers in, while an assortment of tent campsites allow for overnight stays within the park. For a stunning view, follow the trail up the bluffs to look over Lake of the Ozarks. Campers can also swim, boat, fish, hike, or picnic around Ha Ha Tonka’s lakes and forests.
Bennett Spring State Park
Twenty minutes west of Lebanon, Bennett Spring State Park is a perfect getaway. Fishing for rainbow trout in the freshwater spring is one of the park’s primary attractions, while hiking trails along the stream, in the forest, and through a natural tunnel make Bennett Spring a diverse hiking destination. Hipcampers can make a reservation to stay at one of the park’s many tent and RV campsites—book early to secure a site with water, firewood, or a dump station.
Lake of the Ozarks State Park
Drive 30 minutes north of Lebanon to discover Lake of the Ozarks State Park. Following the shores of one of Missouri’s largest lakes, Lake of the Ozarks pairs miles of waterfront with beautiful oak-hickory forests. Explore hiking, biking, and equestrian trails, and stay at one of the park’s campsites, which include outpost cabins, yurts, and traditional tent campsites. Make the most of the lake with swimming, fishing, and boating, or discover a unique Missouri natural wonder with a guided tour through Ozark Caverns.
When to go
Spring and fall are the most popular times to camp in Lebanon, MO, with the warm, rainy spring extending from March to May. The summer months are hot, with highs near 90°F in July and August. Vibrant leaf colors and temperatures in the 70s make Lebanon an ideal camping destination in the fall, with the best colors presenting from early to mid-October. Winter camping is available in the region and boasts snowy weather with smaller crowds. The Missouri Department of Conversation advises a sleeping bag rated -20°F for campers exploring Lebanon in winter.
