We had a blast with a tent/van setup here. Beautiful property. The creek that runs through the property is big and has very nice, clear water. It was great to cool off in the water.
You can find fossils and geodes in the creek.
Also a geode mine on site chock full of crystal filled geodes.
The host was friendly and responsive, would definitely recommend to others and plan on returning

This campground is wonderful.
The staff was
-Kind & helpful
The sites were
-well maintained
-nicely shaded
-had a playground visable from all sites
-spacious
-had ample space for even the very large RVs
The amenities
-the playgrounds were well maintained
-the family bath/shower room was tidy and had warm water
-we camped during the pools off season, but it looked like a very nice pool set up, with a diving end and a beach like side as well.
-the creek down the hill from the site was a hit for our kiddos
-the disc golf trails looked diverse and fun
-the campground was close to places to hunt for Geos
Would definitely recommend this place again, and hope to be back soon!
Side note: we thought it was very thoughtful that when the matinance staff did the lawns they gathered twigs and branches and would leave them in neat piles at the campsites for campers to use for their fires.

Wonderful Hipcamp with owners who care. We had one of three full hook up sites (as good as you’ll find anywhere) with a view across a paddock with horses and donkeys in a gorgeous setting. After a long drive, with Truck and Trailer, great to pull through into a super easy spot to both arrive, set up, and depart. We were there to visit Hannibal (Mark Twain etc) but clearly lots of great outdoor adventures to be had near by on lakes and reservoirs. Full marks and thank you!

My family of four stayed the night passing through. Wish we could have stayed longer. Very charming ranch and we got to hang out and meet the horses, donkeys, chase some chickens. Even gave some treats out😁. Hosts were super friendly and shared their love and knowledge of animals. Would stay here again for sure. Remember it's the second right after the church. 😂

What a beautiful experience! My husband and I had the perfect getaway at the little red cabin. Betsy and Dan were awesome hosts and made sure we had such a good time. Waking up to views of the sunrise over the pond and sheep in the nearby field was magic.
We cooked all of our meals over the campfire and stargazed at night. I asked about animals and Dan was kind enough to take us on a tour of the farm! What a cool experience. We also made sure to stop in town on our way out to grab some of their meat at the Trading Co. to take home. Can’t beat the price or quality! Don’t miss that awesome shop with all kinds of local treats!
We took advantage of the coffee and popcorn provided and the cozy blankets for the campfire at night. We love camping but also love having heat and a cozy bed to sleep in. This was the perfect middle ground.
Make sure you bring all of your cooking and cleaning items if you plan to make meals there. There were disposable cups, plates, utensils, etc. provided.
The PERFECT place to relax and recharge. We can’t wait to visit again!

From the second that I arrived Dan and Betsy were the absolute best hosts anyone could ask for. The cabin offered a quiet and cozy experience along with an amazing outdoor experience. Stunning views mixed with a calming atmosphere made an incredible stay. Not only was this experience delightful because of the distance into the country, it was amazing because it is a fully functional farm. Dan was able to give me a complete tour of the farm which included : horses, sheep, pigs and cows. He has a world class facility and the best part is he let me purchase %100 grass fed lamb and beef. Overall the stay was absolutely fantastic and I will continue to come back to learn more about where my food is grown and made and find a calming stay where I know I can connect with nature!
