D'Ranch at Clearwater
10 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents40 acres · Gravois Mills, MO
D'Ranch at Clearwater is a small, 40 acre hobby farm located on the north side of the Lake of the Ozarks in Central Missouri. What started as a simple love of backyard chickens has now become a dream farm for Tracey Durant and her husband Theodore. Nestled in the valley between two forest covered hillsides, and running adjacent to Clearwater Creek on the east and the lake on the south, D'Ranch could not have been a more perfect location for the Durants to plant their roots and get their feet wet. While they continue their love of backyard chickens with their small egg and hatchery operation know as HeebyJeeby Chickens, they have expanded their interests to an array of friendly farm animals including horses, cows, pigs, goats, sheep, ducks, and an occasional turkey or two.

Lakeside camping near Blackwater guide
Overview
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.
When to go
For the best camping weather, visit Blackwater during spring or fall, when daytime temperatures are good for outdoor recreation and nighttime temperatures are best for campfires. Summertime is generally hot and humid, but many visitors enjoy waterside fun to beat the heat.
