A Historic Property with Deep Roots in American History
This very special property has visible links to the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails, the Civil War, and the region’s early coal mining history. A natural spring on the land was once used by the Pony Express, as well as travelers on the pioneer trails and even during the Civil War.
The property sits on what were once the banks of the Missouri River, perched on a bluff that offers incredible sunsets and wide-open night skies.
Today, it’s a small working farm with chickens, goats, and a massive turkey named “Tank” who proudly answers to his name. There’s so much to see here — from rich history and wild open spaces to the nearby river and passing trains.

Very easy to find. I drove back into the property a ways, picked my spot, and as planned, settled in for a very quiet, peaceful evening.
Ely stopped by the next morning while he was taking care of some business. We chatted for a bit. Very friendly. Seems like a good dude. Told him I’m likely to return.

A True Hidden Gem! Pictures Don't Do It Justice!
My wife and I had the most wonderful weekend camping at Harmony Lake! From the moment we arrived, the hosts, Joan and Ken, were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. They keep the property in absolutely immaculate condition. We needed electricity for our site, and Ken made it happen without any trouble at all.
The views from our tent overlooking the lake were breathtaking—the definition of camping luxury! We spent our time relaxing and filming our new Coody Dome tent for our YouTube channel, "Gear Up, Go Explore!", and this location was the perfect backdrop. The description and photos online don't do this place justice; it truly exceeded our expectations.
The property has fantastic amenities, like clean showers, restrooms, and even communal propane grills and a kitchen area, which saves so much space when packing. We loved the little touches, like the friendly animals, the floating bridge to the island retreat, and the well-stocked lake for catch-and-release fishing. For just $15, they provide a very generous amount of high-quality firewood, which was super convenient.
Whether you're looking for a private, basic site in the woods or a full hookup site by the water, they have options. Our advice: book fast, because this place is amazing! Thank you, Joan and Ken, for an unforgettable experience. We will definitely be back!

We’ve stayed here twice in the last month and it feels just like a private getaway for me and my family! Lovely hosts and pretty much everything we would need on hand to enjoy the amenities on the property. We enjoyed the paddle boats, the floating walkway, beach, trampoline, tables near the dock for a picnic lunch and hot shower in the guest house. Plan on coming back after winterizing our camper for those more mild winter days and use the kitchen/bathroom in the guest house for our water related needs.

Our guest greeted us at the gate and showed us a great camping place for my grandson and I to enjoy. The land was beautiful and surrounded by trees. We really appreciated the firewood that was delivered to us. Honestly, the online pictures don’t really show the beauty of this land and its surrounding area. One of our favorite activities for the weekend was to paddle boat around the lake and explore the gazebo in the island in the middle of the lake. Another amazing amenity is the animals that are walking around and especially the beauty of the peacocks. I look forward to having a family camp out and enjoying the beach. Make sure to bring a hammock because they have a wonderful set up. There are also many opportunities for recreational exercise along with hiking around the lake. This is absolutely one of my favorite hip camps that I have ever been blessed to be able to camp out.
