Family owned for over 30 years. The land has been resting for all those years. It has become a safe home for wildlife. The 70 acres is the perfect place for peace and relaxation. Learn more about this land: Pitch your tent in the primitive Ozark Mountains.  Six designated camp sites and one tiny house that surrounds our community campfire. A Pavilion is on the property, it is the only site that has electricity. Outdoor lighting is hung in the persimmon tree grove for evening ambience. We are located fifteen miles north of Branson.  Walking distance to Bear Creek Wine Company. They serve Pizza, Wine Tasting, and more. Five minutes from Wolfe Mountain Ziplining and Snowflex, also Bear Creek horse back riding trails. We have a well on the property for water. Feel free to bring your own water bottles as well.

Overnight Stay
Loved the privacy and space between sites. Wonderful facilities and outdoor shower was a nice touch. Highly recommend.

Site 4 - Persimmon Grove
Secluded and peaceful
Love discovering new campsites that have everything you need, and nothing you don't. Since the pandemic, most public campgrounds are overbooked and hard to reserve for the spontaneous camper like me. Persimmon Grove is the antidote to that! Private land owners that know what makes a great campground, they build it, and open it. I'm reluctant to tell others about it because I'd want to keep it for myself. Go check it out before it gets too busy!

Site 6 - Persimmon Grove
Amazing Property
The entire property is amazing. Campsites are well spaced out for those that like privacy and seclusion, but still close enough to the amenities (community fire pit, bathrooms, showers). All in all, a great place. This is clearly a well cared for property. Would definitely come again (it’s 10 minutes from Howler Bike Park, which is why I chose it, but after experiencing the campground first hand, I plan to come back with my family). Truly a remarkable experience. Campsites 5 and 6 in the back are down the hill a bit, and offer a little more seclusion, but I really don’t think you can go wrong with any of the campsites. The outdoor shower is pretty cool, too.

Delightful Getaway
This was our first Hipcamp experience, and I hope it didn't spoil us for future Hipcamps! We loved the outdoor shower and the solitude. We spent a relaxing morning reading by ourselves with a gentle breeze coming across the hillside. The critters were all friendly, and the distance to Branson was perfect. We will definitely be back the next time we come to Branson.

Site 3 - Persimmon Grove
Perfect getaway spot
We had a great time tent camping on site #3. Open grassland, thick timber, and a level campground made our stay exciting and peaceful. The conveniences and amenities were just what we needed for having small children but the location was remote enough to enjoy the tranquility. T-Mobile cell service was fine for calling out. We will be back!

Site 6 - Persimmon Grove
Beautiful property atop a hillside in the ozarks. Campsites are pretty well spread out and land is well kept. Nice pavilion and hammock in the center near the bathrooms. Bathroom area has two sinks, two portable toilets, and a really unique and cool outdoor shower area.
