The pasture is quite visible from Old Route 66, nearly adjoining it. Therefore people traveling “the Mother Road” find it convenient to stay with us. Grass is the best forage for horses, especially older ones, so we take care of our pastures, making for beautiful scenery for campers, too. Plus the entire back mile is bordered by old forest. And there is a swimming hole not a half mile away.
This is a quiet and private site, bordered by a neighbor's old forest on back, other neighbor's cattle pasture on side, and you're in one of the pastures used by the Horse Sanctuary. (You are camping about 1/4 mile, more or less, from our house.)
We regularly see coyote, wild turkeys, deer, fireflies, and the like.
We are just 1/2 mile off Old Route 66, therefore there are quirky little museums and great restaurants (for such a rural area!).
Plus we are only about an hour's drive from Branson. MO. which is a known tourist attraction.

Beautiful property, And extremely accommodating hosts! Free firewood, Fire pits at each site, And a big communal fire pit. Plus size port-a-potties, And amazing outdoor shower with propane tankless hot water heater. I will definitely stay here again. I would recommend not choosing one of the numbered sites, and choosing the best site of available when you get there based on shade requirements. A few of the sites have zero shade.

Bryan is a great host! He was very quick replying to a question which made travel and race logistics easy. Will definitely be there for the 2026 Little Sugar MTB.

This is my second time staying at this place; the owners are so welcoming and so kind. I brought my family this time, and we had so much fun staying here.
I really enjoyed all the improvements. I look forward to being back

We chose to camp right by the water down away from everyone else, and it was BEAUTIFUL! I loved the property, we were able to fish in the creek and the lake, it was perfect! Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the peace! I recommend staying here!
