1 night at Harmony Lake Farm Park & Playground

My nephews (11 &13) and I really enjoyed our stay here. Ken and Joan were very kind and have such a breathtaking property. It's the perfect mix for beginners in camping or families because of the fun extras around. This was our first time roof top camping (cat included) and we were just esthetic at the experience and vibes. 12/10 reccomend!

Weekend Trip to Harmony Lake Farm Park & Playground

We had a wonderful experience at this campground! Joan and her husband Ken were incredibly hospitable and made us feel very welcome from the start. The place had everything we needed, including a well-equipped kitchen and clean bathrooms. The animals on the property were also very friendly, which added a special touch to our stay. It was peaceful, comfortable, and full of good vibes. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it!

Beautiful site and super accommodating host. The lake was a lot of fun, with a very neat little island. Definitely a great little spot!

Ken was an awesome host. Friendly , helpful, and welcoming. His land was beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for a fun night of camping with friends. The setup was clean and well-maintained, and we had everything we needed. Highly recommend for anyone looking to relax, unwind, and enjoy the outdoors.

2 nights at Harmony Lake Farm Park & Playground

The location is beautiful, and the hosts are very friendly and welcoming. We stayed at the orchard RV site, and was super close to communal cooking and beach area, yet far enough away that it still felt private. There were many activities that the kids took advantage of - paddle boats, swimming, fishing, basketball, pickleball, and many animals around the property.

Harmony Lake was the perfect getaway. It’s a slice of heaven tucked back in west central MO. Ken and Joan run a well organized beautiful spot that’s perfect for everyone. I will be returning to Harmony Lake!

This was a great place to camp! Check in was super easy, the sites were all well kept, and they were very accommodating on getting us a nixe, quiet spot. The lake was fun, and the peacock that came by was super nice! Made for a nice weekend getaway from KC.

1 night at Harmony Lake Farm Park & Playground

Ken has a little slice of heaven for those looking for a safe, beautiful place to car camp. The real star of the show is Ken himself. We got in a little late and being our first camp of the season we forgot a few items. Ken went above and beyond to help us out. The property itself is set back amongst some really beautiful lush farmland. We car camped by the house and had a view of the lake. In the guest building, Ken has a well-appointed bathroom with a shower and laundry which was unexpected and welcome after a long day of driving. Sadly, we were just passing through, but I plan on allocating more time for our future visit to really enjoy more of what the property offers.

Weekend Trip to Harmony Lake Farm Park & Playground

My family and I had a great overnight at Shadow Lake, and Ken and Joan were fantastic hosts! We had an expansive camp site with plenty of room for our teardrop camper and tent. There was tons to do- from swimming and paddling in the lake, playing on the sandy beach, interacting with the animals (including peacocks!!), a basketball and pickle ball court, and much more. The scenery was really peaceful, with lots of nature sightings, including the resident bald eagle and heron paying visits. Lots of nice, thoughtful touches- we especially enjoyed the farm fresh eggs for breakfast, and being able to purchase wood on the spot for our campfires. Great location for adults and kids, unique experience and peaceful location. We are excited to camp here again in the future!!

This place is so beautiful and peaceful. The dock for fishing was a hit for the kids and the dang beach. We had fun paddle boating around the pond and the daily visits from the peacocks. The hosts were amazing and very accommodating! It was such a fun time we will be back!

1 night at Harmony Lake Farm Park & Playground

Such a unique, amazing spot with fun animals and kind people.

Hammocks strung and swaying in the breeze Ken and Joan have a real gem of space in their hands. We were a multi generational group back for our second stay at Harmony lake. In four years the grounds have changed a bit but the hospitality and land is world class. You won’t find a nicer set of hosts in the county.

5 nights at Harmony Lake Farm Park & Playground

What a wonderful place to camp. The land is gorgeous. Ken and JoAnn have themselves a beautiful property and we were very impressed. Lots birds including their own peacocks 🦚 Blue is just magnificent with his electric blue feathers. The sounds of nature awaken you and after a wonderful night's sleep (the best I've slept in years while camping). Ken was gracious an was able to deliver my husband his 1st time EVER experience in fishing in which he caught 2 fish. This was a great experience and we definitely plan to return. 💜

Weekend Trip to The Hitch N' Post

We had such a great time camping at The Hitching Post! Steve was a friendly, helpful host who was more than happy to answer any questions we had and made sure that we felt welcome and comfortable and that we had the best camping experience possible. He even played a few rounds of disc golf with us at the course on-site! One of the most unique and awesome things about camping here was the new 9 hole disc golf course on the property that’s open to campers. The course was the perfect mix of open fairways and wooded holes with one elevated basket, a hole with a water hazard, several holes with mandos that force strategic play, and beautiful scenery throughout-it has some small hills and varied elevations while still being cart-friendly and easy to navigate. It’s a perfect spot for beginners and veterans alike, as beginners can experience a fun round of 9 holes with neat decor and sights along the way and the avid disc golfer could easily make a day of playing this course multiple times, trying out different throws and strategies throughout. For anyone who loves the camping and disc golf combo, The Hitching Post is absolutely the perfect spot on the map. And any camper is sure to enjoy The Hitching Post’s picturesque scenery, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and perfect touches of rustic charm. There’s no doubt that this is our new go-to camping spot, and we can’t wait to go back!

It is a beautiful little place. The peacock is loud and the geese are really mean. it is a unique place to stay. I stayed there for a shower while working so I didn’t get to take in all the amenities but it looks like a lot of other people have a lot of fun there.

Great spot, friendly hosts, many activities, clean restroom

Weekend Trip to Harmony Lake Farm Park & Playground

Kenny was super accommodating and let us pick what site would be best for our needs since the campground wasn’t full. Everything was great! Property was well maintained. Bathroom was clean. We didn’t need anything. Everything was there. And fresh eggs! We’re definitely planning to come back for a longer stay.

Spacious sites and Steven was a great host. There was lots of seating and a swing at our site. Would definitely stay again!

1 night at Annie's HIDEOUT Musicians Camp

I stayed in the new A-frame, which is still a work in progress. It is a lovely space! With a wood burning stove it would be very cozy. Maybe even too warm. Annie is wonderful and made the experience very pleasant.
