The best dog-friendly camping in Missouri

·

The Show-Me State doesn't mind if you show up with pets in tow. Many campgrounds and cabins welcome furry friends, so the main question is where to set up camp. Should you head outside Kansas City or St. Louis, two historic cities that abound with attractions and restaurants? Or maybe you want to bring the dog along to the home of Bass Pro Shops with a camping trip near Springfield. While nature is never far from town, you can venture off the beaten path to explore the natural landscapes of Missouri, even with your furry friend. Fly fish for trout at Bennett Springs State Park or Roaring River State Park; hit the waters of Table Rock Lake or the Lake of the Ozarks; or find family fun in the over-the-top destination of Branson. You can find pet-friendly campgrounds and cabins in most Missouri locales—just be sure to check the rules and FAQs to find the details, as some require leashes.

Buckner, MO · 20 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Milo Farm was established organically a few years ago. The energy at Milo so amazing we wanted to share! There's a story behind the sacredness of this land, Loni can share that with you if you ask! There are 5 different ecosystems at Milo, all which hold their own magic!🪄 Milo has mant tent sites, car camping sites (for retroverted cars & sprinter vans), 6 cabins, a luxury guest space for you to stay! Sorry we DO NOT have any RV spots at this time. Our cabins are the Hippie Trailer, which is located near the west woods near the Fairy Forest. Then the Bunkhouse just past the big barn on the north end of the property. The lodge, where the Airbnb and pool are is centrally located on the land. We rent out the lower level guest quarters for non-campers. We have a Hobbit Hut near the Frog Pond, a Boho Bus near the entry way and several Vardos (gypsy wagons). For our tent campers there are tent sites in the Eastfield, including the Movie set location of the DM Cabin, and for diehard campers the beauty of primitive pack-in/pack-out camping of Freedom Field is a joy! Feel the energy of the sacred land. We also have SO may attractions! There are 2 stocked ponds, miles of trails, pool, Zen garden, farm animals, a library and more. Find all the portals here! Bless Mother Earth and spend some time in nature at this magical place. Great for the spiritually minded with several meditation spots. There are events happening some weekends you can participate in. We have a Call to Prayer 9:30am every day in the Art Studio/Spirit Shack, you may join us! Loni is a spiritual intuitive and can do a reading using the Milo Farm Oracle cards she created! Ask for availability of these things. Milo has a lot to offer! Located in Eastern Jackson County MO, just 30 minutes from downtown Kansas City.

Our home was built shortly after the couple married in 1904.  We were fortunate enough to begin our adventure here in 1999.  We appreciate all this place has to offer - from the hay fields to the woods and everything in between.  It is a peaceful paradise we enjoy sharing with others.  Please come and relax, read a book, draw a picture, or simply let the sounds of nature lull you to sleep.  We believe you will leave rejuvenated!
