2. Maya Creek

29mi from Jefferson City · 5 sites · Tents, RVs

310 Acre Oak woodland forest sanctuary. This property is run as a conservancy and land trust with a board of directors. Trish & Cameron are land stewards and caretakers as well as managing the camping. We are Leftie Hippie Punk Burners. We are artists, postal carriers and permaculture farmers and natural builders. We believe in BLM, and are LGBTQIA ourselves as well as allies and support all people and critters and nature and are intolerant of hate and mysogeny. We love providing a safe beautiful place in the woods for anyone who needs it. The woods are beautiful, there's a few spots cleared for camping and there are trails to hike, a composting toilet, and not too far from the highway, but far enough you can't hear it. We have a fire pit, hammock and picnick tables for you to use if you like. We love meeting people and we also respect mutual privacy. We live off grid but have some power enough to charge your phone should you need it. We have WiFi but please bring your own drinking water. We have a small Berkey for drinking water here but its best you bring your own. We are in process of installing some outdoor showers and more tiny houses. We are a place in progress and we live here (so there may be projects in progress) and so does the wildlife and that includes ticks. We have a dog, cat, chickens, and abundant wildlife and please consider this PRIMITIVE CAMPING. We look forward to meeting you and thanks for visiting!

5. Starlight Lab

41mi from Jefferson City · 1 site · Tent, RV

This is just a small 5 acre section of land, partially wooded, partially open. It’s pretty flat and backs up to a few hundred acres of wooded property of our neighbors. It’s a nice & quiet spot with plenty of deer and wildlife. I’ve been wanting to develop the place into a campground as so right now, everything is extremely primitive. I do have my house on the property, but it’s my personal house, but there is water and electric that can be utilized if one were to have the will
