7. Black Sheep Bluff

18mi from Blue Springs · 4 sites · Tents, RVs

A Historic Property with Deep Roots in American History This very special property has visible links to the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails, the Civil War, and the region’s early coal mining history. A natural spring on the land was once used by the Pony Express, as well as travelers on the pioneer trails and even during the Civil War. The property sits on what were once the banks of the Missouri River, perched on a bluff that offers incredible sunsets and wide-open night skies. Today, it’s a small working farm with chickens, goats, and a massive turkey named “Tank” who proudly answers to his name. There’s so much to see here — from rich history and wild open spaces to the nearby river and passing trains.

8. Wild Plum Valley

39mi from Blue Springs · 1 site · Lodging

A lovely creekside camping location ready for your dry camp including lovely forested spots to hold your tents, truck or van campers. The creek is fun to play in but certainly not over knee high in depth. The rock creek bed is great to walk down and explore the bluffs, and when dry or very low gives campers the occasional arrowhead. This location was the ancestral land of ancestral peoples (currently their name is unknown) and once you get settled in, you can easily see why! Firewood is provided as well as a rock fire ring, LED lights, seating and a very unique outhouse and outdoor shower. Can't wait to see you! ***Once you are booked, you will receive a short video showing you the campsite, the camp kitchen, outhouse, etc. as well as instructions for parking.

Like an oasis in the desert — so close to town, yet it felt completely remote and peaceful. The drive in on the trail to the campsite genuinely felt like wheeling through the Arkansas wilderness, which made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be back, and next time I’m bringing the family. Highly recommend!

A really nice, clean, quiet, secluded spot, which was what I was looking for. Either a good hike or a 4x4 to get down to the spot, but worth it. Looking forward to visiting John's place again.

Host was great with communicating with me on directions and responsive when I had a question. The property was exactly as described in the ad and my family had a wonderful time. Grab all the supplies you need, the town doesn't have many options for groceries. Not even really an issue, just a time saving tip. 😊

We loved the peace and quiet. There's water features and streams throughout the trails on property. Check with Michael about using the gas stove and oven; we didn't use it and the gas may have been off. Everything was clean and the inside water got hot. Michael was quiet to respond.

We had a wonderful time the yurt is beautiful, the bed is comfortable. The property is so fun. We had a nice hike and there are a few other fun places he is working on to glamp in the future. The area is private, you can kindof see the other sites but can't hear them. We brought our 8mo old baby set up our travel crib and she had a great time. The area is mostly shaded so it stayed cool while we were there. We stayed 2 nights and wish we could've stayed more. There was a fan in the yurt which was nice because we were debating bringing one, and there were several chairs both by the site and by the camp fire so we didnt even use ours. There is a hammock which was peaceful to lay on. We didn't use the grill but it takes charcoal and tools are provided. The bed is a queen size. You don't have to bring much to be comfortable there. We will definitely go back!

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!

The best pets off leash camping near Blue Springs guide

Where to go

Lake Jacomo and Blue Springs Lake

Outdoor recreation and public camping options can be found just south of Blue Springs along the sparkling waters of Lake Jacomo and Blue Springs Lake. Combined, these waterways offer 1700 acres of water for fishing, boating, and paddling. Hiking trails meander along the shores. Jackson County Parks & Rec operates Blue Springs Campground, Jacomo Campground, and Longview Campground, which offer tent camping and RV sites. Dry camping, electric-only, and full-hookup campsites are available.

Kansas City

Nationally, Kansas City might be known as the home of the Chiefs and Royals. While Missouri’s largest city loves its sports, it also offers arts, culture, history, nightlife, and so much more—not to mention the famed barbecue—all just 20 minutes west of Blue Springs. Private RV parks dot the suburbs, offering a range of amenities. Popular public campgrounds include Weston Bend State Park and Watkins Mill State Park. Both have tent and RV sites with dry camping and electric-only hookups.

Knob Noster State Park

Just under an hour east of Blue Springs, Knob Noster State Park offers a natural retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the KC metro. Two small lakes serve as the focal point for both scenery and recreation, with fishing, paddling, hiking, and biking opportunities all found in the park. Basic and electric tent and RV sites are available. Or, pack your backpack with camping gear and hit the McAdoo Trail, which has a trailside primitive campground.

When to go

Missouri’s summers are hot and humid, but that’s a great time to enjoy the lake life, as the waters warm. Spring is generally mild, with pleasant temps. Watch the landscape turn green after a long winter’s sleep. Speaking of winter, it’s generally not the best time for camping, due to the cold weather and occasional snow and ice. For strolling around Blue Springs, KC, or an outdoor trail, fall is particularly pleasant, with the added touch of colored leaves.
