Missouri has a seemingly limitless amount of outdoor adventure offerings with its massive river systems, beautiful state parks, conservation areas and wildlife preserves. If the idea of water activities and hiking and biking scenic trails appeals to you, but the idea of rugged camping and “living off the land” doesn’t, glamping is just the thing for you!
Glamping, or “glamorous camping” allows you to enjoy all the great things nature has to offer without having to actually sleep in it. Here are a few of Missouri’s ready-made camping options, but you can create your own! All you need is a spacious tent, teepee, trailer or cabin with a nice, comfortable place to sleep, lots of food and beverages, and fun people to share the experience with!
The beautiful and serene River of Life Farms offers several tree house cabins in the North Fork of the White River.

Cabins sleep between two and eight people comfortably.
The River Lighthouse is their newest tree house cabin and has a tremendous river view. The 1200 square foot cabin sleeps up to 6 people, has a king size bed, a queen size bed, and a sleeper sofa. Two private restrooms with whirlpool tubs allow you to soak off the day’s adventures in style.
