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!🪄 The lodge was built then the camping sites, then the Hippie Trailer, which is located near the west woods near the Fairy Forest. Then the Bunkhouse was established, it's just past the 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. There are 2 stocked ponds, miles of trails, pool, Zen garden, farm animals and more. 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. Find the vortexes here! Bless Mother Earth and spend some time in nature at this magical place Great for the spiritually minded with several meditation spots and portals. Ask about availability of the art golf cart rental if interested. Loni can take you on a guided history, nature and meditation hike if you sign up for that. 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!

Weekend Trip to B&S Creekside Retreat LLC

Great communication from the hosts beforehand, and worked with me on needing to change the dates of my trip. Appreciate their help and welcome on arrival. Nice private site in the woods. Being a short distance from KC, was just what I needed for a quick visit outside the city.

Weekend Trip to Harmony Lake Farm Park & Playground

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!

Weekend Trip to Milo Farm Sacred Land

Loved this beautiful sacred land. Our stay and the property was amazing! We came with a group of friends, and it was great to camp & glamp together with our families and have our own space! Our kids had a blast and loved seeing the animals out and about:)

Weekend Trip to Seven Oaks

A really nice, clean, quiet, secluded spot, which was what I was looking for. Either a good hike or a 4x4 to get down to the spot, but worth it. Looking forward to visiting John's place again.

My girlfriend and I went tent camping in Freedom Field and it was amazing, we were able to choose a spot that resonated with us and the scenery was stunning. Loni and the staff went above and beyond with their hospitality and kindness. We will definitely be returning!
