D'Ranch at Clearwater is a small, 40 acre hobby farm located on the north side of the Lake of the Ozarks in Central Missouri. What started as a simple love of backyard chickens has now become a dream farm for Tracey Durant and her husband Theodore. Nestled in the valley between two forest covered hillsides, and running adjacent to Clearwater Creek on the east and the lake on the south, D'Ranch could not have been a more perfect location for the Durants to plant their roots and get their feet wet. While they continue their love of backyard chickens with their small egg and hatchery operation know as HeebyJeeby Chickens, they have expanded their interests to an array of friendly farm animals including horses, cows, pigs, goats, sheep, ducks, and an occasional turkey or two.

Soon the steep slope anchored a Yurt with a wrap-around deck that puts you up in the trees. Our gathering spot by the creek became a camp site. Recently the grandkids' Bunk House found its way in. Our Retreat is 10 acres, narrow, but 1/4 mile deep, stretching down a steep wooded slope to a creek - and up the other side to the top of a bluff.

2 nights at Retreat to the Country
The cabin was a perfect, no frills spot! I loved drinking coffee on the front porch watching birds flying around. It was a peaceful way to spend a couple days to myself reading and doing art.

The area has stunning views. The site was clean and quiet; although I was the only one camping on a 80 degree Christmas day.

Great place, we had looked at local state parks. Glad we found this and had a more hidden place. Travis was super hospitable and available. Fun place to walk around. Quiet area. Was a really nice stay

Weekend Trip to Retreat to the Country
Loved Bill’s little cabin, the hike and cats most especially. He was so accommodating and flexible when we came in later, he allowed a late check-in. He was responsive when we had questions. The only thing to note is the toilet is in the room and so if you need full privacy, either be comfortable with who you’re with or they’ll have to step out. The compost toilet took some research to understand how to use, and I am still not sure I used it totally correctly. Either way, we plan to go back again someday!

Weekend Trip to Retreat to the Country
Absolutely must see! The yurt is beautiful and cozy and everything has its own little place that makes you feel right at home. The land is beautiful and the trail down to the creek allowed for some great scenery and view of the wildlife. We will definitely come again outside of the winter months to enjoy the yurt magic.

My fiancé, our dog, and I had the best time tent camping on Travis’s land. He was extremely welcoming, which made our stay that much better. Travis was also very communicative and his directions made finding the site easy as pie. We weren’t entirely sure what to expect as first time Hipcampers, but I don’t think we will ever tent at a state park again. It was so quiet and peaceful! Needless to say, the next time we make it down to the Ozarks, we will be tenting here again!!

Weekend Trip to D'Ranch at Clearwater
I've tent camped at D'Ranch several times. Ted and Tracey are always the best! Chose a cabin this time. Perfect for my needs. Basic with no electric or running water. Port a john nearby. Great place to relax. Good place to see some wildlife.

Had a great experience at this campground! We originally reserved spot 12 but got upgraded to 13 (closer to the river) by the owner, due to not many campers being out there! It was a beautiful private spot. Appreciated the facilities and amenities and enjoyed the views immensely.

I spent the day hiking the trails around Ha Ha Tonka State Park and wanted to find a campsite nearby. I am not a fan of large campgrounds that cater more to RVs - which is why I was searching Hip Camp for other options.
Diana’s place was exactly what i was looking for… a nice quiet place, off the beaten path. The bathroom was nice and the water was hot!

The campground was clean and in a quiet country setting. Steve was very nice and called us a few minutes after we arrived to if we had any questions. Definitely follow Steve's directions to get to the campsite. We made the mistake of following Google's directions on our way in. Didn't do that again! I would recommend this campground and we'll definitely stay there again in the future.

Travis was an amazing and accommodating host. He was very kind, and his property is nice and private in the countryside. We hiked at HaHa Tonka nearby and had a wonderful time.

Camping near Osage Beach guide
Where to go
The Town of Osage Beach
Osage Beach is the largest city in the Lake of the Ozarks regions, offering visitors a plethora of restaurants, shops, and entertainment options. Adults can find live entertainment and libations at lakeside lounges. But, serenity seekers can retreat into nature to get away from it all. Private RV parks can be found close to the lake and in the town of Osage Beach, with various amenities, such as full hookups, swimming pools, and tent and RV campsites. Cabins, glamping accommodations, and more are also readily available.
Lake of the Ozarks State Park
Though Osage Beach is a popular base camp on the lake, this 55,000-acre lake extends far into the hills and valleys across a broad region. Escape the crowds by heading out to the smaller towns of Linn Creek, Eldon, or Gravois Mills. Take a hike at Ha Ha Tonka State Park to see the grand remnants of a burned-out castle once built as a private home. Whether you prefer to find fun on land or sea, Lake of the Ozarks State Park will have an activity for you. Hiking, boating, swimming, and watersports can be accessed. In addition to the campground’s tent and RV sites, the park offers rustic cabins and glamping yurts.
Bennett Spring State Park
Less than an hour southwest of Osage Beach, Bennett Spring State Park is worthy of a day trip or overnight stay. A spring-fed creek runs through the scenic park, and it is regularly stocked with trout, making this a popular spot for fly fishing. The warmer waters of the nearby Niangua River are teeming with bass, as well as canoers and paddlers on warm summer days. Bennett Spring State Park has multiple camping areas, with tent and RV sites, some offering electric or full hookups. Other accommodations include an onsite motel, deluxe cabins, and large four-plex units.
When to go
The lake is popping in summertime, as flocks of folks take advantage of the warm temperatures and sunny skies to hit the waters. Those camping without electricity may find the heat and humidity to be overwhelming when on land. Spring is a good time for camping, with pleasant temperatures, and fall offers beautiful scenery as the hills and forests alight with colors. The lake is best enjoyed on a boat during these shoulder seasons. Winter is chilly in mid-Missouri, with cold temperatures and the potential for snow and ice.
