Milo Farm was established organically a few years ago. The energy at Milo so amazing we wanted to share! There's a story behind the sacredness of this land, Loni can share that with you if you ask! There are 5 different ecosystems at Milo, all which hold their own magic!🪄
The lodge was built then the camping sites, then the Hippie Trailer, which is located near the west woods near the Fairy Forest. Then the Bunkhouse was established, it's just past the barn on the north end of the property. The lodge, where the Airbnb and pool are is centrally located on the land. We rent out the lower level guest quarters for non-campers. There are 2 stocked ponds, miles of trails, pool, Zen garden, farm animals and more. For diehard campers the beauty of primitive pack-in/pack-out camping of Freedom Field is a joy! Feel the energy of the sacred land. Find the vortexes here!
Bless Mother Earth and spend some time in nature at this magical place

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!

This was an amazing stay. Small and cozy. The cabin was clean and had pretty much everything we needed. Despite having people in the areas around us, it was so quiet and peaceful. The neighbor we did interact with was friendly and helpful. The host responded quickly and was very helpful in explaining the things we needed to know. The only issue we had was really out of the owners control and not his fault at all. Off leash dogs come right up on the deck. 🤦♀️ Overall a great stay, and I would definitely stay again.

Tent
I just can’t say enough wonderful things about this experience. The hosts are so kind and caring. The camping spot was in a clearing with a short walk across a bridge. There was a great fire pit and Layne kept it stocked with wood. He even provided a gas torch that made starting fires easy and fun. In addition to this beautiful, quiet camping spot….a nearby fairy cove was beautifully situated which made for hours of reading. In the middle of the pasture, a gated area with additional space for hanging out with the animals was a two minute walk from my camping spot. All weekend long, I enjoyed getting to know all the animals. Each animal has a name and a personality. I loved the horses but quickly began to appreciate the cattle, alpacas, llama, pig, cats and dogs. The rescued animals are healthy, well-fed and loved. It was the most restful and unique camping experience. The owners added some great fall/Halloween decorations that thrills the kid in all of us. Kids would really benefit from this environment. I had no problem getting cell service but wouldn’t have minded either way. The sunsets were especially gorgeous. The hosts left me to myself but didn’t mind when I had questions- they are so smart. I enjoyed my stay so much I added another day on. I got to take my gravel bike out and explore all the nearby areas. Being able to bike was an added bonus. I am already excited to bring my grandson back!

A lovely campground! The grounds and the bathrooms were very clean. Had some hiking trails and I enjoyed walking around with the pup. Staff was kind and there is a well-stocked store. It's a little out of the way but that made for a peaceful stay.

I just needed a place to tent camp for a night in the area and this worked just fine. Easy communications and booking. Clean facility and a peaceful campground.

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!

First-the crew there was so welcoming and helpful! Loni was out of town and they were great, from carrying stuff to our site, to showing us around, and telling us all about the place!
I highly recommend doing the ATV tour to familiarize yourself with the property! We stayed in the Funky Bunkhouse. Super cute and comfy! The pool is also clean and so nice.

We loved staying at Liberated Ground. It felt far away even though you’re just a short drive away from the city. The fire pit was incredible and the hosts were gracious.

Wheelchair-accessible 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.
