Very cute and supplied with everything we needed. I would definitely advise driving there in a truck or at least a vehicle that is not low profile because the road to get there is a little washed out in spots. Otherwise it was a nice place to stay!

Weekend Trip to Sawmill Hollow Creek
First and foremost, the owners of this are truly incredible people. They’re very kind and thoughtful and they go to great lengths to make sure that yourstay is as comfortable as possible. They bring you an incredible amount of wood, the fishing pole holders everywhere there are wonderful lights and placement of chairs and guide lights all over the place. This place is truly a Shangri-La. Secondly, the land itself is magnificent If you’re a nature lover, and enjoy seeing bald eagles, white tail, and an incredible wide variety of birds this place cannot be beat. The body of water that this sits next to is full of fish and is so gorgeous. Also, the site itself is far enough away from city lights that you can see the spiral of the Milky Way galaxy and the star watching is absolutely wonderful. We plan on coming back to this place annually.

Everything about our trip was perfect! The host is incredible and everything about the site is so well thought out and prepared for campers to enjoy their visit. The campsite is large with 3 platforms for tents and is located right on the channel leading to the lake. Our dog loved exploring the well manicured walking paths, and using one of the multiple kayaks available. Absolutely incredible experience, we will be back!

The A Frame was a great place to spend a weekend away from the city. The building was comfortable and had some nice luxuries such as AC and a mini fridge. Bathroom facility was awesome: having a hot shower is unusual even for cabin camping. The area was clean and quiet. Definitely have a vehicle that can handle some rough gravel roads and be sure to follow the directions the host gives you.

Weekend Trip to 7C's Winery - Camp at a Winery
We loved our weekend of camping and bike riding at 7C’s winery. Their location was amazing for riding our bikes down the country gravel roads and connecting to the Frisco Highline Trail in Southwest Missouri. The hosts Dwight and his wife were amazing. They gave us access to the indoor restroom at the winery throughout the day and there was a very clean port a potty on the property to use also. They also allowed for us to charge our e-bike batteries with no issue. To cap off our weekend we had a wonderful wine and mead tasting. Will come back if in the area again.

We would like to convey our great satisfaction with this leg of our trip which, despite the extremely hot temperatures, was a highlight of our trip. Sawmill Hollow was so peaceful that, in spite of the stifling hot weather, we were able to catch up on some much needed sleep with no disturbances. The campground was beautifully manicured, well maintained. Our hosts, Michael and Arlene were 2 of the kindest hosts we have ever encountered. I suspect this is old hat for them as they seemed to be prepared for anything. Our dogs, Piper and Satchmo got the most exercise they've had in months and share our sentiments, We're all looking forward to returning in the fall or spring to do some fishing and canoeing. Additionally, we found the Hipcamp website to be one of the easiest reservation/rental sites to use throughout our trip.

We tent camped at the RV site and were not disappointed! It is not as quiet as the tent campsite, but that is no fault of the host. We utilized the kayaks and had the best time out on the water. This is such a special spot to camp and we love it here.

1 night at 7C's Winery - Camp at a Winery
I had a great time tent camping at 7C’s Winery! I got there by riding my bike on the Frisco trail. If you do that, make sure you look up the directions on your phone and follow those, so you know when to get off the trail and what roads to turn on. Jean and Dwight showed me around and gave me a complimentary wine tasting, which was awesome! Then I waded in the creek and sat on the patio sipping a bottle of mead. (All the beverages are good but the wildflower mead was my favorite.) There was a nice fire pit and great views of the stars from the field. There was a porta potty and sink outside nearby to use after the winery closed. I set up my tent by the creek. This is a super nice place to stay if you’re on the trail and/or want to camp at a place with some great wine. Jean and Dwight were great hosts!
