40mi from Lawrence · 1 site · Lodging
This getaway is the best off-grid camping experience you'll ever have. Said to be located on the ancestral farm of some of the world's most notorious outlaws (The Dalton Gang). This tiny secluded cabin is located on 10 acres of western Missouri prairie, with everything you need for a great night away from it all. But with all the modern amenities that an off-grid camping experience can offer, you don't have to live like a savage to experience what it was like to be a prospector in days gone by.
