The best beach camping near Blackwater

·

Located between Kansas City and Columbia, Blackwater is a tiny Missouri town, with a population of fewer than 200 residents. Time seems to have stood still in the historic downtown area, where you’ll even find an 1890s jail, train depot, and one-room schoolhouse. Ramble around and browse the antique stores or grab dinner at the historic hotel that dates to the town’s founding. The Missouri Conservation Department provides public campgrounds at two locations near town, including Harriman Hill and Roberts Bluff Access, both of which offer dry camping for tents or RVs.

A literal 30 acre pocket of paradise tucked away just minutes North of Columbia, MO. Here you’ll find a private lake with fishing access, rolling hills with stunning sunrises and sunsets, plenty of space to reset with nature, perfect for a glamping getaway. We have 3 separate sites on the property. Our 24’ yurt that sleeps up to 6 with indoor toilet (no shower) propane fireplace for chilly fall and winter stays and AC for the Missouri heat; a cozy RV that sleeps 4 (queen bed and bunks in the back) offers all the amenities of home with a kitchen and bathroom (with hot water and shower); and last we have a level gravel site with 30amp electric and water hook ups (no dump capability) with picnic table, fire pit and grill available for those that want to bring their own RV. We are Pet friendly (with additional cost for the yurt) as we have our own over friendly farm dog. Come play yard games, swing, fish, bring your kayak or paddle board, kids can play or swim on our sandy beach, or just walk our 1 mile perimeter trail, a perfect place to rest, rejuvenate and recharge. Farm fresh eggs are available as well as any extra firewood. We look forward to meeting you and sharing our little pocket of paradise.
