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.

Me and my girlfriend had an amazing time here and it’s all thanks to Kenny and Joan. We arrived a bit later than expected, but Kenny was more than welcoming and helpful despite the late arrival. The site was so peaceful and calm and clean. It genuinely felt like too good to be true the whole entire trip. Not only were the animals and land around so beautiful and fun, but the accommodations and resources available were just as satisfying. It really felt like we were family there. Definitely a time to remember and we loved it so much we couldn’t believe what a gem we had found picking this place. I would rate the hosts and everything about this place and trip an 11/10 and definitely would love to come here every time for a camping trip. Thank you Kenny and Joan for an awesome experience ❤️🙏 oh and “Trapper” is the coolest cat there is!

This was a fantastic break from a long road trip. Arrived well before nightfall so arrival was easy and we had plenty of time to explore and hang out with the animals! Decided to stay a bit longer than anticipated the next morning because it was such a relaxing atmosphere. The spot is well kept and comfortable. Definitely saving this on my list for any time I’m coming through town

We loved staying on the secluded peninsula! The spot was so relaxing, loved being on the water and not too close to other campers but an easy walk to the shower house if you need to. Easy check in, kayak around the lake was lovely. We did hike the red trail which was not as maintained as I would expect for a marked trail. Overall though a very lovely and relaxing stay.

We had a fabulous time at Ann's camping spot. My kids loved wading in the calm river; we did kayak practice for my 4yo (it was very low and very calm--just perfect for a 4yo!); my dog loved splashing and playing; we enjoyed a morning fire, and an evening fire; my kids all caught cute little fish! Ann even helped me out when my car wouldn't start. She was responsive to my many queries and concerns, which made for a very confident stay. It was so lovely!

The views were beautiful and the animals were so much fun even for the adults. The kids really enjoyed feeding the animals especially the peacocks and Boris the pig. Also enjoyed the sand and they even had sand toys, as well as the paddle boat was a hit for littles. Ken and Joan were wonderful hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed and were very hands on with the kids. They loved seeing the peacock do tricks. Will definitely visit again!
