Summer Escape: Hike & Stargaze near Roaring River

Sunny Getaway at Roaring River Hills Campground

Experience the beauty of Missouri in the warmer months at Roaring River Hills Campground and Cabins, just three miles from Roaring River State Park. Wake up to golden sunrises, explore lush trails, and spend lazy afternoons fishing or wading in cool streams. As evening falls, gather around the firepit for starlit storytelling and roasted s’mores. Whether you’re here for adventure or relaxation, our glamping tents provide the perfect outdoor retreat.

Tucked away in a more secluded area of the property, Glamping tent #2, ideal for couples, is one of our 5 larger glamping units that offer a peaceful off-grid retreat surrounded by trees, and the occasional visit from deer at sunrise. While there’s no power in the tent itself, you’ll find comfort in the simplicity - like a comfortable king bed with a plush bed pad, a small futon couch, and a wood stove for warmth on cooler nights.

Mornings start slow here: coffee in hand from our nearby general store, seated in Adirondack chairs on your covered deck as birdsong and soft mountain light ease you into the day. After hiking or exploring Roaring River State Park, return to your private firepit for a meal under the stars and a night of true stillness.
