This land has been asking to be shared. First it was swings and little things for the grandchildren and their friends. Then the Cabin by the pond began to welcome visitors. Soon the steep slope anchored a Yurt with a wrap-around deck that puts you up in the trees. Our gathering spot by the creek became a camp site. Recently the grandkids' Bunk House found its way in. Our Retreat is 10 acres, narrow, but 1/4 mile deep, stretching down a steep wooded slope to a creek - and up the other side to the top of a bluff. It is only ten miles to Jefferson City but has a quiet and distant feel.

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.

The cabin was a perfect, no frills spot! I loved drinking coffee on the front porch watching birds flying around. It was a peaceful way to spend a couple days to myself reading and doing art.

Weekend Trip to Retreat to the Country
Loved Bill’s little cabin, the hike and cats most especially. He was so accommodating and flexible when we came in later, he allowed a late check-in. He was responsive when we had questions. The only thing to note is the toilet is in the room and so if you need full privacy, either be comfortable with who you’re with or they’ll have to step out. The compost toilet took some research to understand how to use, and I am still not sure I used it totally correctly. Either way, we plan to go back again someday!

Camping here was the perfect end to our summer! Swimming in the pond was a blast and the hike to the little waterfall was full of neat things to look at. It was also great to let our dog be off leash, she had as much fun as we did! Like other reviewers have mentioned, you can hear the highway, but the campsite is tucked back in a wooded area and felt very private.

Creekside 4 is where I stayed over Labor Day weekend. The creek was low but still beautiful. Perfect for wading in. There is a herd of deer that frequent the area. Unfortunately, I did not get to see them. It is a working 40 acre hobby farm, not a campground. There is no modern bathroom or shower house. They do have airbnb units that do have all your amenities, plus breakfast! They also have 3 rustic cabins on the lake. And 1 portajohn. Whatever your camping style is, they have you covered. Tracy is a phenomenal host. She is not only knowledgeable about her farm but the land around her. She is very passionate about what she does. Her tour of the farm was very informational. The grounds were so clean. You wouldn't even know you were on a farm. Ted, her husband, met me at the gate. And escorted me to my site. They both are just the best. Tracy was very responsive to her messages both Before & After booking. She asked many times if there was anything I needed & to let her know if I did. I would highly recommend D'Ranch to anyone! Topnotch hosts and gorgeous well-maintained property.

Where to go
Katy Trail
Have you ever wanted to bike 240 miles? You can in Missouri, thanks to the Katy Trail. This linear state park straddles a rail-to-trail conversion that crosses the middle of the Show-Me State, with tantalizing views of prairies, hills, and woodlands. A number of towns along the route offer refreshing stops, with restaurants and accommodations catering to cyclists. Campgrounds offer tent and RV sites, some with hookups. You may also find unique glamping rentals nearby.
Columbia
Columbia is the heart of Missouri geographically and home to the state’s flagship university. The population swells during the school year, adding energy to the already-vibrant downtown area, which boasts an eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, breweries, and more. Private RV resorts are available, offering amenities such as full hookups and free wifi. Public campgrounds can be accessed at Finger Lakes State Park, just outside of town. This park is a recreational hub, with fishing, paddling, and ATV riding.
Arrow Rock State Historic Site
Arrow Rock State Historic Site and Park lies just over 20 minutes northwest of Boonville, providing history, recreation, and camping. Several remnants of a small town built in the 1800s along the Missouri River have been preserved, allowing visitors to step back in time. For outdoor recreation, toss a line in the fishing pond or hit the trails. The park campground offers tent and RV sites, some with electric and full hookups.
When to go
Missouri experiences all four seasons heartily, offering great variations in temperatures and precipitation. Summers can get above 90°F with added humidity, while spring and fall are generally mild with occasional rain. The woodlands around Boonville are especially scenic in October, as the leaves change. Winter generally isn’t the best time for camping, as temperatures drop below freezing with the possibility of snow and ice.
