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.

Stover, MO · 9 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
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!

Joan and Kenny were friendly and helpful. Their property is well groomed. The peacocks/peahens are friendly, and the pig and emu were a fun surprise! The lake is gorgeous, with a peaceful little island in the middle (accessible by a floating walkway). I’d stay here again if I come this way! Also appreciated was an indoor toilet and shower!

This place is amazing! The setup is cool. Several sites around the pond as well as some set back in the trees. The compost toilets were clean and nice and the hand washing sinks were a welcome touch. Outdoor kitchen and shower house! Everything you could need. Elizabeth was so kind, helpful and knowledgeable. We loved swimming in the pond, hiking to the creek, and petting the animals. We found so many cool rocks and crystals to add to our collection. We had so much fun here!

Weekend Trip to D'Ranch at Clearwater
The cabin was so cozy and peaceful. It is in a beautiful spot and I loved taking an early morning kayak paddle. The farm is beautiful. I wish I could have stayed longer. Tracey is an amazing host, friendly and gracious. I made a mistake booking and she was so kind and patient helping me sort it out. She really goes above and beyond making sure everything is clean and her guests have everything they need.

4 Creeks Campground has definitely grown since we were there 4 years ago. Several more sites, all are surrounded by trees and feel very secluded. The creeks were pretty shallow in August, but quite refreshing! Michelle and Paul are great hosts and are very helpful. They sent us to a beautiful blue spring Michelle even brought her sweet dogs over for a couple visits. This was are second time staying with them and we will definitely be back!
