My family settled on this plot of land at the turn of the century, moving west in a covered wagon. And aside from a brief time in the late 80's it has been in our family ever since. For most of the 20th century the property was a small farm, grazing cattle and mowed for bailing hay. We are trying to rejuvenate the property and breathing some new life into this old plot of land.
Learn more about this land:
The Hill, aptly named, is a hilltop that slopes down to a large pond that divides the twenty acre property in two. With plenty of room to stretch your legs you can enjoy a nature walk. In the evening enjoy the night sky around one of several fire rings, while roasting marshmallows. Easy access and only a quarter mile from the main road.

At the edge of a small town in Oklahoma, plenty of space to look out over hayfields, lounge in one of our hammocks, sit around the fire, watch chickens, ducks, and geese, and maybe lend a hand to one of our varied farm projects. Permaculture-based polyculture market garden that sells organic veggies and herbs. A few miles from Twin Bridges State Park has RV dump station.
The town is walkable and there are plenty of our bikes you can use. The main parking area will have some lights from the neighbors and 2 lane highway, but also have private areas to set up a chair or hammock. Behind the hedgerow (to the North) there's a mowed areas for a tent. There's also a tree platform. A train runs through town about 10 x day and night about 5 blocks away. There's capacity for leaving your trash/recycling here (I have to pay for weekly pick-up but rarely is my bin full), there's also washer/dryer that can be used (within reason)

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.

There was a lot of open space for walking the dogs or tent camping. A cool obstacle area for bike riding. The entire area was clean well laid out. Several areas for camp fires with chairs. The camper area was drive through with Water, Electric & Sewer on wide pull through stalls. We enjoyed the place & would stop again if in the area.

This place was awesome. Very easy to pull in and set up. The paved area might look too "suburban" at first but it is very close to paths to the lake, kayaks and floating stuff as well as courses for bikes (provided) and casual walks!, is also well insulated from the road and traffic noise The area was level and we were within 0.25 inches both side to side and front to back with almost no adjustments!!! There are curbs in each pull thru lane so make sure you have your props/stilts for your drainage lines but it was very easy and very convenient set up. Check in and check out was all electronic booking thru Hipcamper so very easy in and out! The lake is large enough to enjoy kaying/paddling and clean enough to jump in. Easy rock launch pad for the kayak and canoes as well. The bathroom and showers were clean (though we didn't use due to full RV hook up) and easy to access from the camp sites. There is a game room with billiards and other stuff to keep teens occupied. It is a very short trip to town where there was shopping and the weekend we were there, happenings downtown to add to the appeal. Overall this park was incredibly easy, convenient, clean and a real pleasure. We feel fortunate to have discovered this place and hope to return here often. We were RV full hook up but the cabin sites were super cute and looked amazing regarding location to water, spacing between sites for privacy etc. I would full on return in my camper or if looking for a Cabin getaway! Great place!

Everything is charming about staying at BaseCamp. The bathrooms and shower were very clean. Lots of board games to play and pool table in the Bike Barn. We spent our time fishing and doing s'mores over a camp fire. They had plenty of wood for us to burn! We took time to go into town and get some amazing coffee, lunch, and visited the the ice cream place a couple times. Hopefully next time we will make it to the cocktail bar and brewery. We stayed in an RV this time maybe next time we will rent a cabin.

Beautiful green property, friendly dogs, and rescue horses mill about. I said hey to a few over the fence. An armadillo shuffled thru around 11 pm, kinda freaked me out but once we saw each other they waved me off and went on their way! It was my first time using this app to find a camping spot and it was worth it! Best of luck to Candida the gracious host and go stay there at her place!
