This was our second visit to JQ’s land and we just love it there! It’s quiet, secluded, our pups love being off leash and there is so much land to walk and explore. This time we also did some fishing in the pond, as well. We will most definitely be back next year. Super friendly host, beautiful location, well maintained, can’t go wrong spending time here!

Exceptionally well cared for spacious property of mixed prairie and forested tracks. Especially enjoyed the numerous wildflower patches, walking paths and privacy. John was a wonderful, conservation minded host who met with me shortly after arriving, provided a brief tour that included best way to access his trails along the (Platte) river bottom and answered my questions as we walked together. Also found many hiking opportunities in the Smithville Lake area a short distance away. Would highly recommend this Hipcamp and would definitely return when traveling in the area.

We had great communication with Morgan from the beginning and she gave directions that were clear and accurate. The Lantern Tree is a lovely spot to camp for the night. We were there during July with heat advisories so we were really happy to be able to plug in. This is a great spot close to Kansas City, yet rural and peaceful.

The property was so beautiful with lots of trails/paths to explore! And the treehouse was the perfect place to chill, looking out over the land by day or watching hundreds of fireflies by night. We felt nestled among the trees but with plenty of space for both our vans. Also loved all the different wildflowers and monarch butterflies! Will definitely be back!

Property had good amenities and was very spacious and private. We were the only campers that night, which is always nice. I tried some of the trails, which were nice, but forgot to put on bug spray, which is a bad idea in the woods with long grass.

Beautiful wooded area, peaceful and serene. The rain was nice. There is a fire pit and lots of wood. Back away from all the noise and lights of city life. A calm reset.

I highly recommend this as a fantastic opportunity to get off the grid for a while. John is very receptive to inquires within the app. As well as, when you get there, he will guide you what to do based on your wants and needs on the property.
The property itself is amazing. You get a pond, a river, timber areas, farmland, plenty of hiking paths. The wildlife is almost overwhelming. From Coyotes in the distance, to owls up close.
It is a hidden gem! Thank you John for the opportunity!

Had a great time with a group of six with a few tents. Lots of room to set up, and the area is secluded and remote enough to feel somewhat private. Hiked around the area and down by the river. Can’t recommend it enough. Just ideal for our needs.

Great camping site with a friendly host at Lantern Tree Site. The horses and donkey were fun neighbors. Experienced a big rain, which added to the enjoyment of the camping trip!
