36mi from Pittsburg · 3 sites · Tents, RVs

The pasture is quite visible from Old Route 66, nearly adjoining it. Therefore people traveling “the Mother Road” find it convenient to stay with us. Grass is the best forage for horses, especially older ones, so we take care of our pastures, making for beautiful scenery for campers, too. Plus the entire back mile is bordered by old forest. And there is a swimming hole not a half mile away. This is a quiet and private site, bordered by a neighbor's old forest on back, other neighbor's cattle pasture on side, and you're in one of the pastures used by the Horse Sanctuary. (You are camping about 1/4 mile, more or less, from our house.) We regularly see coyote, wild turkeys, deer, fireflies, and the like.   We are just 1/2 mile off Old Route 66, therefore there are quirky little museums and great restaurants (for such a rural area!).   Plus we are only about an hour's drive from Branson. MO. which is a known tourist attraction.

Kansas isn’t exactly known for watery wonderlands, which is why Pearson-Skubitz Big Hill Lake is such a gem of a find. It’s one of the clearest lakes in the state, well known to trophy anglers and locals. Come and enjoy all your favorite wet and wild adventures, including swimming, fishing, boating, and waterskiing. There are three campgrounds, beautiful equestrian trails, and a sandy beach for all your summertime relaxation needs. Pack a picnic and unwind for the day, or extend your stay at one of the full-service campgrounds. Trail riders can make use of primitive camping facilities when they’re out horsing around. For adventures on land and in the water, head out to Big Hill Lake.

1 night at Warriors o' Rainbow Horse Sanctuary

We loved the camping spot and Candida provided us with friendly conversation and fantastic dry firewood. It was private and nice to be near the horses as well.

1 night at Warriors o' Rainbow Horse Sanctuary

The field had a tree line easily seen Fire pit and firewood ready. The animals are all friendly and they everyone is great to work with. There is water available but it is really a dry camping location. Self contained is best camping but the place and people are fantastic. We had no complaints. We strung up a hammock and enjoyed the fire, lightening bugs and stars!

Weekend Trip to Warriors o' Rainbow Horse Sanctuary

Really enjoyed staying here! This is primitive camping in a horse pasture, but the views are great (surrounded by horses and lots of stars on clear nights) and we really enjoyed the amenities. There is a hot tub in a green house, opportunities to feed horses, etc. We found a couple fun swimming holes nearby and enjoyed checking out some nearby roadside attractions like Red Oak.

Weekend Trip to Warriors o' Rainbow Horse Sanctuary

We stayed at Candida’s for 1 night. The horses and pasture area are beautiful. A table, 2 chairs and fire ring were provided. We got to help with grooming one of the horses during our stay! Candida is very nice and welcoming. My dog had a great time running through the field also.
