This was probably our favorite Hipcamp stay! Gorgeous layout with all the amenities you could ever need. The hosts were amazing and truly a pleasure to work with. We don't usually leave reviews, but this experience more than deserved one! We will absolutely be back!

A True Hidden Gem! Pictures Don't Do It Justice!
My wife and I had the most wonderful weekend camping at Harmony Lake! From the moment we arrived, the hosts, Joan and Ken, were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. They keep the property in absolutely immaculate condition. We needed electricity for our site, and Ken made it happen without any trouble at all.
The views from our tent overlooking the lake were breathtaking—the definition of camping luxury! We spent our time relaxing and filming our new Coody Dome tent for our YouTube channel, "Gear Up, Go Explore!", and this location was the perfect backdrop. The description and photos online don't do this place justice; it truly exceeded our expectations.
The property has fantastic amenities, like clean showers, restrooms, and even communal propane grills and a kitchen area, which saves so much space when packing. We loved the little touches, like the friendly animals, the floating bridge to the island retreat, and the well-stocked lake for catch-and-release fishing. For just $15, they provide a very generous amount of high-quality firewood, which was super convenient.
Whether you're looking for a private, basic site in the woods or a full hookup site by the water, they have options. Our advice: book fast, because this place is amazing! Thank you, Joan and Ken, for an unforgettable experience. We will definitely be back!

We’ve stayed here twice in the last month and it feels just like a private getaway for me and my family! Lovely hosts and pretty much everything we would need on hand to enjoy the amenities on the property. We enjoyed the paddle boats, the floating walkway, beach, trampoline, tables near the dock for a picnic lunch and hot shower in the guest house. Plan on coming back after winterizing our camper for those more mild winter days and use the kitchen/bathroom in the guest house for our water related needs.

Joan and Ken were wonderfully friendly, communicative, and flexible hosts — even though I stayed only briefly, they made everything easy and welcoming. The farm stay is a beautiful location, and the campsite was comfortable and well-appointed. I’d happily return and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, accommodating getaway.

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time here! We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to stay, Joan and Kenny were very accommodating and were always willing to help in any way they could. The land was also beautiful and we loved seeing their animals. The floating dock was awesome as well, wish we had more time to stay and enjoy their lovely place!

Our guest greeted us at the gate and showed us a great camping place for my grandson and I to enjoy. The land was beautiful and surrounded by trees. We really appreciated the firewood that was delivered to us. Honestly, the online pictures don’t really show the beauty of this land and its surrounding area. One of our favorite activities for the weekend was to paddle boat around the lake and explore the gazebo in the island in the middle of the lake. Another amazing amenity is the animals that are walking around and especially the beauty of the peacocks. I look forward to having a family camp out and enjoying the beach. Make sure to bring a hammock because they have a wonderful set up. There are also many opportunities for recreational exercise along with hiking around the lake. This is absolutely one of my favorite hip camps that I have ever been blessed to be able to camp out.

Was my first time ever camping and I went by myself with my dog! I had my tent for 3 months and never used it .. was always too afraid to try it out. Then found this place on Hipcamp and decided to take a chance - and was best decision I ever had! Ken and Joan were so accommodating. They greeted me right went I pulled up , and even offered to help me with my tent. Showed me how to start a fire ; and even gifted my dogs some treats :) the camping spot is SO pretty and private, shaded and cosy … can’t say enough good things. Shower was clean and kitchen had everything you could need. Thanks guys!!

This site is more secluded than the others but also not too far of a walk away from the grill house and the lake. I did see some other sites that were more picturesque but we were happy. We also had our dogs so being kind of away from everything was ideal. The hosts are so nice and extremely helpful. Everyone was friendly and there was a decent amount of things to do and good amenities. We also brought our 7 year old and he loved getting in the paddle boats.

Where to go
Wallace State Park

Walk-in sites offer extra serenity for tent campers. Lake Allaman is the central focus point, a blue gem surrounded by green hills, offering fishing, boating, and more. Trails crisscross the woodlands.
St. Joseph
Head west from Cameron, just as the pioneers did to reach one of the starting points of the Oregon Trail in St. Joseph. Explore history and architecture that tells tales of bygone eras. Near town, public camping is offered at Lewis and Clark State Park, as well as several locations operated by the Department of Natural Resources. Several RV parks offer a full slate of amenities in the area.
Watkins Mill State Park
Watkins Woolen Mill State Historic Site, located 25 miles south of Cameron, provides education, beauty, and recreation, all in one package. The park’s focal point is a 19th-century textile mill and several other historic structures. A 100-acre lake provides a scenic spot for fishing, paddling, and boating, and surrounding trails offer space for hiking and biking. The wooded campground has almost 100 sites, most of which have electric hookups.
Kansas City
Just 50 miles southwest of Cameron lies one of Missouri’s largest cities, Kansas City. Jazz and blues, barbecue, and baseball are just three things residents and visitors love about this energetic town. The vibrant downtown showcases history, arts, and culture. Several private RV parks dot the suburbs, catering to families and those seeking full hookups. Outside of the city, public camping can be enjoyed at Weston Bend State Park.
When to go
Summer is when most activities are in full swing, though some days may have sweltering heat and humidity. Spring and fall are more moderate, with fall offering extra beauty as the forests pop with color. Winter is not a popular time for camping, due to freezing temperatures and occasional snow and ice, but some parks are open year round.
