About the Camp
Falling Water Horse Camp is run by two brothers, Glen and Joe Garrison, on what was once a family homestead. The idea to convert the land into a park had been bubbling around in Glen's mind for some time but never manifested until his brother got him interested in trail riding. Basing from what is now called “The Mansion”, the very spot where their grandfather's house once stood, the two brothers and a few friends set out to explore forgotten roads and trails remembered from their youth or discovered on old maps.

Late in 2005, the brothers decided to convert a portion of the homestead into a proper campground with showers, stabling facilities, and electric hookups. During this time weekly rides were held to scout new trails and acquaint the regulars with the surrounding area. Word spread quickly and soon folks were showing up from all over the state and even beyond! The camp was asked to host several major events before it was finished, but the brothers took their unexpected publicity in stride and everyone agreed that it was a magnificent location.

Located on the banks of Falling Water Creek, named for its hundreds of tiny waterfalls and one of the Ozarks' famous whitewater kayaking spots, the camp is centrally located within riding distance of several large waterfalls (Falling Water Falls, Twin Falls) and more beautiful Ozark Mountain scenery than a visitor could see if they stayed for a month. The owners are still finding new things and they've lived here all their lives.

Glen Garrison is the owner of the land on which the camp was built. He was raised in the Ozark Mountains and has hiked the hills around the camp for most of his life. He oversees the business affairs for the camp, as well as exploring new trails, and leading the construction of new facilities.

Joe Garrison is the resident horse expert. Like his brother, Joe grew up in the Ozarks where he earned renown as a horse trainer and farrier at a young age. He has been in the business of raising and training Quarter Horses for over twenty-five years. Joe knows horses and horse people and he uses that knowledge. From designing safe facilities for your animals to tacking on the occasional thrown shoe that might otherwise spoil a great weekend, Joe works hard to make sure that you and your horse have the best possible camping experience.
