In the 1840's there was a trading post on the property known as Lick Skillet because the owner would set the pans out at night for the dogs to lick.   Today, we call it Fanthorn Forest and it's our dream, our haven and our home.  We love sharing our farm with others and allowing them the same experience of peace and tranquility we get from the land. Learn more about this land: Located only 50 miles SE of Kansas City, MO!  We have woods and pasture with Settle's Ford Wildlife area (fishing and hiking available) 1/4 mile away. Camping is primitive with only an outhouse and no shower facilities. There are MANY thorn trees, so hikers must have proper footwear.  Fire ring, wood and a grate for cooking are provided.  Livestock encounters are also available with owners in attendance.  All proceeds are put back in the farm to care for the animals and the land.  RV's are allowed, but we do not have any hook ups available and they are not allowed in the woods.  Parking area is at the end of the driveway for both cars and RV's.  We love kids and will provide lawn darts or any other games we have available if requested.  Please visit our website at fangthornforest.com for more information.Located only 50 miles SE of Kansas City, MO!  We have woods and pasture with Settle's Ford Wildlife area (fishing and hiking available) 1/4 mile away.

Camping in peace and quiet
Beautiful land, friendly people! Easy to park camper and hook up to utilities. They have a beautiful area with a fire pit with pre cut wood. They have a fancy outhouse with motion sensor light that comes on when you walk in. There is lighting all along the path to the outhouse. Their animals are just as friendly as the hosts and will come say hi.

Amazing!
This property was amazing! The hosts were super friendly and gave us a tour of the whole farm and let us meet/feed the animals! Even with a rainy/muddy weekend, we had a blast and would definitely come back with some friends! Cheryl also makes her own yarn out of the alpaca fur that you can purchase!

We really enjoyed staying at Fangthorn Forest Farm. The land is beautiful, directions were clear and easy to follow. The farm animals were wonderful and the tent camping site secluded and still easy to reach. Lane and Cheryl are thoughtful hosts. Lane checked on us and brought plenty of wood for the fire pit. Our stay was relaxing and fun!

Our stay was great. It’s a beautiful, secluded spot with plenty of shade and spots to place a tent. The hosts are accommodating and the site was clean. Plus, we got to see cows and horses! We’ll definitely stay again in the future.

This trip was amazing. The farm was so welcoming and we had the best time meeting all the animals and going on the trails. The rain was a bummer but even that was worth fighting to see the farm babies.
