Quiet, peaceful location in the country, about 25 minutes from Lawrence. We camped on the road between a tree line. Heard coyotes and owls at night.

Weekend Trip to Liberated Grounds

We loved staying at Liberated Ground. It felt far away even though you’re just a short drive away from the city. The fire pit was incredible and the hosts were gracious.

Liberated Grounds welcomed us which such pleasant and loving energy. We pulled up planning to camp in our car, but Burt & Angel offered us a tent and even helped us set it up! It was a beautiful space for the weekend! I loved the calm & safe feelings the whole experience brought to us. I am excited to visit again and would LOVE to attend any concerts/events they are so lucky to host!
