This entry is to give you an overview of the farm and also in case you want to hold a laid-back, nature-oriented, special event at the FFF, where our mantra is, “nothing will be perfect, but everything will be fine.” So, if you are looking for artificial perfection, look elsewhere.

We loved tent camping here! The land is spacious and beautiful, especially the millions of fireflies that came out at night. The hosts were not home when we arrived so their parents greeted us so warmly and made us feel comfortable and safe. The barn with toilet and shower were a huge plus too! Would absolutely recommend.

I loved bringing my kids to the farm. I loved that I could enjoy every moment with them without having to over pack, set up a tent, pull an rv, or sleep on the ground. We made the decision to visit friday morning and were at the farm before dinner with plenty of time for a walk to the creek, dinner and smores at the campfire, a round of giant jenga, and the chance to sit and read a book while my kids played on the trampoline, tire swing and sand pit. They thought the outdoor shower was super cool. And they really loved swimming in the pond for 3 hours on Saturday. We can't wait to visit again. Bill, thank you for having us and being so welcoming. It was so nice to meet you. We will be back soon!

2nd year in a row here and my son and I loved it once again. The host always makes us feel welcomed and is so helpful. We opted for feeding the chickens and goats again because it's so fun. Oh and picked up some farm fresh eggs. The dogs are a special treat as well. I like that it's like 10 minutes away from Leavenworth too so we get to explore the oldest city in KS and then come back to an awesome camp fire, fresh air and farm. We will definitely be returning!

Nice big field with many campsite opportunities. Ely was quick to respond when I let him know I arrived and when I was leaving. I heard several roosters, I think a horse as well in an adjacent field. Jupiter and Venus were in the sky and made the plane of the ecliptic very easy to visualize. I'll gladly camp at Scattercreek again if I'm in the area!

Bill and Nancy were so kind, you can tell how much work and care they put into their property over the last 40 years to make it a magical experience with an emphasis on kids and families in mind. I loved going down to the creek with the kids and looking for fossils(there is an abundance of unique fossils!) skipping rocks, and jumping across the stepping stones. Watching my son and his friend play so freely made me feel extremely nostalgic, we live in the suburbs and theres not as many opportunities to allow the kids to run around and have free reign the way they were able to on the farm. I got to talk to the owners for a while and hear some of their story, each and every facet of the property has a unique history and personal story behind it, you can feel the memories made in the space. Bill is a very handy craftsman and artist and he was behind many of the structures on the farm along with other creatives over the years. We brought our two small dogs and they did a great job keeping pets in mind with the design, we had a fenced yard that the dogs could stay in while we explored, unfortunately one of our kiddos left our gate open and one of our dogs got out later in the evening, I messaged the owners and they got up and found my dog! I was really worried because of how open the space was. Truly wonderful people, and a truly wonderful farm with many opportunities for family fun and interacting with nature. 10/10 would recommend.

I went past the driveway the first time and then doubled back, kate's three pink flamingos next to her mailbox helped me locate it right away. Kate was warm and welcoming and I got to actually feed her goats! Her three dogs were very lovable and curious upon my arrival. The hip camp spot had a nice view of the back 40 and the pond beyond it. Enjoyed my stay there and would highly recommend if you're in the Kansas City area.

Overall we had a great time camping here. Kate was friendly and helpful, our campsite was a great spot, secluded with a great view of the stars at night. Our kids had a lot of fun interacting with the dogs and feeding the goats. The only issue we had was with one of the dogs on the site, they woke us up several times at night barking right outside our tent. They also tore into our trash bag that was hanging 3-4 feet off the ground. Make sure to dog-proof your campsite before turning in, and bring some ear plugs if you're a light sleeper.
