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 Durant's to plant their roots and get their feet wet.
While they continue their love of backyard chickens with their small egg and hatchery operation, they have expanded their interests to an array of friendly farm animals including horses, milk cows, pigs, sheep, ducks, geese, and an occasional turkey or two. Guests are welcome to explore the farm, join in the daily milking, and participate as much as they like in the farm chores. There are excellent photo ops so come prepared, and don't forget to share those great pics!

We have two private sites, a primitive campsite directly on the Lake of the Ozarks, and a RV spot with full hook-ups (water, 50 amp AC, and sewer). The two sites are separated from each other, but both have access to the lake, including kayaks, a canoe, a paddleboat, excellent fishing, a boat-ramp, floating dock and a one-mile perimeter nature/hiking trail.
*** NOTE *** From January until early May, the lake level is dropped about five (5) feet, so boating and fishing access range from difficult to impossible (though, arrowhead hunting is a fun activity you might enjoy during the low water months!).
Primative Campsite - A private 1.5 acre campsite with a firepit (and plenty of wood to burn in it) and direct access to the Lake of the Ozarks. Amenities and features of the campsite include: a private camp toilet with a door and a concrete pad, picnic table on a gravel pad with an umbrella, a fully equipped cornhole game, fishing pole holders, a garbage can and three (3) level wood tent platforms.
RV site - the RV site also has a picnic table with umbrella, a garbage can and a fully equipped cornhole game. Nearby, the RV site also has access to a very nice private pit toilet, a gazebo with lights and an electrical outlet, and a firepit stocked with firewood.

4 nights at Explore the Ozarks - Dockley Ranch
Four nights here is the perfect amount of time to reset and return to the world. Recommend the route from the East through Alva even if you have to circle around. Double recommend if you have passengers prone to motion sickness. Triple recommend because Alva is cute, and has Melancholy Coffee Roasters.

This was our first Hipcamp and we couldn’t have picked a better place to try it. Dwight and his wife were the perfect hosts and gave us free choice to pick a site. Before heading to the Moore Expo, Dwight treated us to a wine tasting and we can recommend the wines and meads that they sell.
It’s a peaceful campground even though a road runs along one side. It is a sloped died but has a level area along the tree line at the bottom.
We have been looking for a campground close to Springfield and this will definitely be our go to from now on

Really nice site and well-described in other reviews and by Jack. The camping area is on a slight incline, but not bad. A few essential cooking items - two grill grates, a Dutch oven and large skillet with plenty of rocks around the fire pit to set up as you like. Jack was kind enough to text us offering answers to questions.
The trek down to the river is pretty steep and rocky, but not too long. The courtesy railing is helpful but some is detaching from the posts, so watch out where you put weight on it. The trip up is more taxing. I'd recommend staging some things at the base of the trail to the waterfront. There's enough elevation at the base of the trail and it's back far enough you could stage gear without having to worry too much about people seeing it. Critters might visit if you store food or scented bait. We had the pleasure of hiking up and down during and after moderate rain and it wasn't much more slippery nor was there a lot of water taking that path. That could change seasonally.
The path to the canoe is about a couple hundred feet southward. Most of the water in the are is shallow at around two to three feet, with some deeper pools around the rock bar just south of the canoe and more south of that. A couple bigger fish there. To the north near the island it gets shallower and the water moves faster. We didn't go any further north past the island.
The canoe comes with a paddle and several life jackets. Be sure to check them for spiders and other critters.
