Fletcher Creek Farm

6 sites · Lodging, Tents40 acres · Warrensburg, MO

Welcome to our cozy retreat just south of Warrensburg! Imagine 40 acres of pure bliss, just a stone's throw away from the hustle and bustle of town. If you're keen on exploring "Amish country," it's a mere 30-minute drive away, offering a delightful peek into traditions and crafts. And let's not forget about Truman Lake – perfect for fishing and boating enthusiasts. The Katy Trail? Cyclists, you're in luck! Now, about those creeks...they're a tad on the dry side during the warmer months, courtesy of our drought-stricken area so they may or may not have water in them. But don't let that dampen your spirits – they still make for great spots to soak in the scenery (pun intended). And our resident armadillos? They sure keep things interesting with their digging escapades! On the flip side, nature can throw us a curveball with snakes, ticks, chiggers, and poison ivy. Consider it a friendly reminder to tread cautiously and pack some bug spray. Speaking of creatures, our furry friends love to make appearances. Our dogs are friendly and safely fenced in, though they might join the coyotes in a sing-along or give passing raccoons a piece of their mind. As for our outdoor cats, they're as friendly as can be but prefer to keep their adventures outside. Don't worry – they're more than happy to be contained if needed. So, whether you're here for peace and quiet or a wildlife-filled adventure (complete with occasional serenades from our four-legged friends), our rental property has it all. Come and experience the best of rural living – cozy camper included!

More about us: The proprietors of Red Brick Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast, ‘Ain't She Cute' and Green Acres at Red Brick Farmhouse RV and Campsites are Annette Meinershagen Dittmer and also on the broom closet staff is her husband, Kenton Dittmer. After working in several restaurants and becoming a Home Economics teacher, she came to the realization that she loved teaching Foods. Annette gained much inspiration from her mother and father in developing her gift for hospitality; preparing and serving meals for events and parties over the years. Along with her husband, Kenton, (a very talented building contractor) they have done much renovating of their 100 year old prairie style home and their original restaurant, Red Shanty BBQ and Roadside Cafe, located in Higginsville. Since opening the restaurant in 2008 Annette wanted to fulfill her dream of running a Bed and Breakfast, so in 2015 the venture began. In 2016 she added ‘Ain’t She Cute’ and the RV and camping sites. Annette and Kenton, natives of Higginsville, live on the property. More about the farm: Our quiet country retreat, in the picturesque rural outskirts of Higginsville, Missouri, has been in our family for four generations. Currently farming the land has been minimized just to row crops, but there was a time when there was a team consisting of a mule, named Jamie and horse, named Dan that tilled the soil for the crops. There were milk cows and the generations before me used a separator for the cream and milk. They had pigs, chickens, and another horse named Clipper that my mother road to school. They had several vegetable and fruit gardens and even planted peanuts. There are remnants of the old buildings that once stood on the farm. The old chicken house foundation is located near the current fire pit and a hand dug well is covered by an old tractor tire we use for our compost. The small shed in the back corner of the yard was once a pump house, a playhouse, then a chicken house and now a Junque house. There once was a barn, a silo, a feed lot, an outhouse, and a hog shed. There were old tires, iron wheels, brick piles, and a gas tank on stilts. There was a screened in porch, beautiful hydrangeas and still a wonderful front porch. There were lots and lots of large pecan and walnut trees. At one point there were over 60 wonderful shade trees in the yard. We have lost some, but still enjoy many of the trees my grandfather planted. My mother, her siblings and parents moved here in the early years of WWII. During that period of time her brother died flying over Germany fighting for us. Our children lived all their grade school and high school years in this Red Brick Farmhouse. Some winters were so terribly cold in this old house it was almost miserable. I love this old house and it is truly been a labor of love. Again, Thank you, Kenton and Annette

More about us: The proprietors of Red Brick Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast, ‘Ain't She Cute' and Green Acres at Red Brick Farmhouse RV and Campsites are Annette Meinershagen Dittmer and also on the broom closet staff is her husband, Kenton Dittmer. After working in several restaurants and becoming a Home Economics teacher, she came to the realization that she loved teaching Foods. Annette gained much inspiration from her mother and father in developing her gift for hospitality; preparing and serving meals for events and parties over the years. Along with her husband, Kenton, (a very talented building contractor) they have done much renovating of their 100 year old prairie style home and their original restaurant, Red Shanty BBQ and Roadside Cafe, located in Higginsville. Since opening the restaurant in 2008 Annette wanted to fulfill her dream of running a Bed and Breakfast, so in 2015 the venture began. In 2016 she added ‘Ain’t She Cute’ and the RV and camping sites. Annette and Kenton, natives of Higginsville, live on the property. More about the farm: Our quiet country retreat, in the picturesque rural outskirts of Higginsville, Missouri, has been in our family for four generations. Currently farming the land has been minimized just to row crops, but there was a time when there was a team consisting of a mule, named Jamie and horse, named Dan that tilled the soil for the crops. There were milk cows and the generations before me used a separator for the cream and milk. They had pigs, chickens, and another horse named Clipper that my mother road to school. They had several vegetable and fruit gardens and even planted peanuts. There are remnants of the old buildings that once stood on the farm. The old chicken house foundation is located near the current fire pit and a hand dug well is covered by an old tractor tire we use for our compost. The small shed in the back corner of the yard was once a pump house, a playhouse, then a chicken house and now a Junque house. There once was a barn, a silo, a feed lot, an outhouse, and a hog shed. There were old tires, iron wheels, brick piles, and a gas tank on stilts. There was a screened in porch, beautiful hydrangeas and still a wonderful front porch. There were lots and lots of large pecan and walnut trees. At one point there were over 60 wonderful shade trees in the yard. We have lost some, but still enjoy many of the trees my grandfather planted. My mother, her siblings and parents moved here in the early years of WWII. During that period of time her brother died flying over Germany fighting for us. Our children lived all their grade school and high school years in this Red Brick Farmhouse. Some winters were so terribly cold in this old house it was almost miserable. I love this old house and it is truly been a labor of love. Again, Thank you, Kenton and Annette

Inner City Oasis

1 site · Tent1 acre · Independence, MO

1.4 acres, heavily treed, located minutes from downtown highway access, and the Royals/Chiefs stadium. This property was neglected and abandoned for 20 years. It is clear it was loved at one point, but the owners were too old to maintain it. We are still uncovering mysteries, finding statues, benches, and unexpected niches. Feel free to explore the abandoned path (if you can find it), the slanted orchard, and an open area we call "The Secret Garden." You can even enjoy a short scavenger hunt to help you engage with the various objects we have found along the way!

Camping near Blue Springs with wildlife watching guide

Overview

Blue Springs is a popular landing spot for travelers visiting Kansas City, Missouri, or those crossing the state on Interstate 70. Small town pride abounds in the city parks and public spaces. For outdoor recreation, head to Fleming Park, which incorporates Blue Springs Lake and Lake Jacomo. Boating, paddling, fishing, and hiking can all be enjoyed in the park. Private RV parks offering full hookups and free wifi are located in Blue Springs and the surrounding towns of Independence, Liberty, and Odessa.

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.
