Located east of Springfield in the tiny town of Seymour, Missouri is a private ranch that has developed into one of the premier offroad destinations in the US: Southern Missouri Off Road Ranch. Also known as SMORR, this well-known park boasts amazing trails suitable for all levels of driver. Mild to wild is exactly what you will get within the 940-acre park with trails for beginning offroaders in stock 4x4s to extreme wheelers wanting to test the power and durability of their rock bouncers.
Thanks to its plethora of amenities, the only reason you’ll have to leave SMORR is to grab fuel or get a car wash. Accommodations on the ranch include several rustic cabins, numerous designated campsites with electric-only or full hookups, generator camping, and plenty of grassy options to spread out for the primitive camper. There are bathroom and even shower facilities on-site as well as a fantastic café. If hosting groups are your thing, they also have a large, covered pavilion great for gatherings.
Before planning a visit, there are two extremely important things to note. First, and likely the most important, SMORR is entirely cash-based, meaning they do not accept credit cards. They take cash or checks only; no exceptions. If you find yourself in need of additional cash during your trip, an ATM is conveniently located in the office. The second thing to note is that the park is open seasonally from March through November and only on weekends. Before planning a visit to SMORR, there are two extremely important things to note.
