The Happy Camper with Outdoor Kitchen. Near Annapolis, Black River, Sam Baker.

A great place to unplug and get away from it all! The Happy Camper includes a covered outdoor kitchen area, a firepit and additional beds in the adjacent 1 room cabin. The covered outdoor kitchen is usually the highlight feature for hanging out. Many of our guests are looking for something more comfortable than camping after a float on the crystal clear Black River nearby.

The location is located nearby numerous outdoor gems including the Black River, Taum Sauk, Mountain , Sam Baker State Park, Elephant Rock, Johnson Shutins, the Ozark Trail and mountain biking areas. The property has a year-round spring-fed creek flowing through it to enjoy and explore.

This is a rural "glamping" location outside of Annapolis on approximately 8 acres. There are 3 other cabins on the property - 1 is also rented out and the other 2 are private. This is a relaxing location to come enjoy some quiet and explore the outdoors. The spring-fed creeks on the property are normally shallow and flow year-round with clear water. The creeks are great for children (and adults) to play in and explore. The water is cool year round. Expect to see small fish, crawdads, lizards and turtles.

The highlight is the covered outdoor kitchen, which includes an outdoor gas stove, sink, tables, hammock chairs, and a screened-in portion. There is also an outdoor firepit with chairs next to an open grassy area. We provide some firewood and you can purchase more from us if needed.

There is room for 3 people to sleep in the camper (1 double bed in the bedroom and 1 twin bed in the living area). The rental includes a 1-room cabin that can sleep 2 additional people in twin beds.

You will need to drive across the creek to access the property. Most cars can make it across but I do recommend using a truck or SUV. The water may rise right after a heavy rain making it impassable.

The only stove is outdoors. There is no working oven. The refrigerator is indoors and full sized. There is also a mini-fridge in the adjacent cabin. There is a microwave in the camper. There is a propane grill on the deck.

Come here to unplug. There is no cell phone service here. We have free satellite internet you can use for Wifi calling/texting but its not reliable for high speed needs like streaming.

No pets.
