There is a lot of nut trees and chickens!
I inherited this land from my uncles who spent their whole life’s purpose to live and maintain the land. It has given me such peace and a great escape that I think everyone deserves to touch a piece of it to help you in your soul searching or unplugging from life to clear your mind to tackle the world!
I’ve grown up seeing the land change, watching how nature can change streams and hills and love seeing how years and years of leaving it alone can create such a beautiful canvas all on its own.
One of my uncles favorite things to do was to look for arrowheads and if you are familiar with ancient Indian practices, you can find many characteristics in these woods.

Escape the crowds and enjoy private camping on our 20-acre farm just minutes from Smithville Lake. With only a few well-spaced sites, you’ll have room to relax, unwind, and experience a quieter kind of stay.
We offer two distinct campsite experiences:
Sycamore Grove — A shaded, secluded site surrounded by trees, ideal for quiet stays and privacy.
Overlook Site — A spacious, open setting perfect for RV campers or those who prefer wide views and flexible space.
Spend your day at Smithville Lake, then return to a peaceful campsite where you won’t hear crowded neighbors - just open space and natural surroundings.
This is not a traditional campground. Sites are intentionally spaced for privacy and simplicity.
The Overlook site is a dry site (no water or sewer), best suited for self-contained setups.
With limited sites available, weekends and peak seasons tend to book quickly—reserve early to secure your stay.

We’re new to all this, so here’s the scoop. Our campsite sits on one of our family farms at the top of a hill. The closest neighbor is about 3/4 mile away, and the nearest town with a grocery store is roughly 15 miles out. The camper and tent sites are set where the old homestead house once stood. There’s no water or power, but we have one camper set up with a generator available if needed. We provide a water tank, and there’s also an old well if you’d like well water. You’ll be overlooking 500 acres of river bottom land, with a creek running through it where arrowheads have been found, plus river access for fishing or a bit of kayaking. We’ve got a couple of 4-wheelers you can rent to get to the river, or we can take you down ourselves. Kayaks are also available, and we can even take you upriver so you can float the 8 miles back down to our spot.

The entire site was laid out very nicely and strategically. The tent sites are placed further back on the backside of the property with privacy and nature, and it was very private and cozy. Nothing but nature sounds at night. A huge plus, the bathrooms were very clean which made the trip that much better!! Would highly recommend. Lot #14 was ours under a large oak tree. A saw lots of amenities on site, check out their site.

Exactly as described. Cabin was clean, basic, had a window A/C unit and a fan. Also appreciated the hooks on the wall we used for our towels, outlets, and the ceiling light. The shared bathrooms and showers were clean. If we had arrived earlier, would have loved the volleyball and horseshoes. Quiet small campground. Not much shade but nice for one night. It was very hot so the A/C unit and fan was wonderful.

Hipcampers be advised: Those reasonable rates you see are for an actual campsite. A brick and mortar business. Not an afterthought on someones acreage or tent in a neighborhood backyard. Honey Grove offers more than enough tent, RV and cabin spaces to accommodate whatever your plans. This includes a meticulously stocked store that has anticipated every camping need, a century old brick silo hosting legendary bonfires, a hotel quality restroom that brings civilization to the outdoors not to mention WiFi and water spigots throughout.
The local town is within ten minutes and has everything you forgot. If not, Walmart is a pleasant twenty minute country drive away. Scott is the camp host who keeps grounds and facilities impeccably maintained and Kristen will happily inform you of the myriad of activities and local lore.
But by far, my most favorite thing about this place is the absolute symphony of birds that welcome both dawn and dusk. Know that twice a day God sends his regards to Honey Grove.

We had a lovely night tent camping at the Maple Forrest Site. JQ is a great host and gave us detailed directions beforehand. I would say a 4WD vehicle is required to drive the 2-track road to this specific camp site! We had no problem getting there with a truck. Our dogs enjoyed being able to run around outside. It was a very peaceful site and was well maintained/mowed. Campfires were permitted and wood was provided which was very generous. Verizon and ATT users were both able to get phone reception just fine at the site. The woods were very beautiful!

Bill and Nancy were so kind, you can tell how much work and care they put into their property over the last 40 years to make it a magical experience with an emphasis on kids and families in mind. I loved going down to the creek with the kids and looking for fossils(there is an abundance of unique fossils!) skipping rocks, and jumping across the stepping stones. Watching my son and his friend play so freely made me feel extremely nostalgic, we live in the suburbs and theres not as many opportunities to allow the kids to run around and have free reign the way they were able to on the farm. I got to talk to the owners for a while and hear some of their story, each and every facet of the property has a unique history and personal story behind it, you can feel the memories made in the space. Bill is a very handy craftsman and artist and he was behind many of the structures on the farm along with other creatives over the years. We brought our two small dogs and they did a great job keeping pets in mind with the design, we had a fenced yard that the dogs could stay in while we explored, unfortunately one of our kiddos left our gate open and one of our dogs got out later in the evening, I messaged the owners and they got up and found my dog! I was really worried because of how open the space was. Truly wonderful people, and a truly wonderful farm with many opportunities for family fun and interacting with nature. 10/10 would recommend.

The spot was very easy to find, close to main highways and was a good level gravel spot with 30 amp service. Communication with host was easy. We were alone which I appreciated because the spots are close together. We didn’t have a picnic table and there was no fire ring. The water was available but more for filling tanks as it is on the other side of the lot. The Winery was very close and had good food. It was loud at first but quiet after 9pm.

Lots of trails to walk with our dogs. We chose the lower campsite so we would be more
Isolated. There was several places to setup camp and we chose the one furthest to the west. Nice flat areas for tents and trees to setup a shade tarpaulin (mid March so the trees have only buds). We packed in our own water, though there is well water nearby. The road down to the river campsites is not for a car, we have a stock SUV, made it over the one rock section without issue.
The land is beautiful, nice and quiet, other campers were far enough to not even be noticed. We plan to be back again, maybe when the wildflowers are in bloom.

I was looking to get away for a bit to reset. I really wanted to just be alone in a forrest for a while! It was exactly what I hoped for. I had lots of privacy on the river bottoms. I was able to go for hikes and enjoy the night sounds. It was really nice. The host was very helpful. I wasn't sure if I was following the correct path or how far I could go. Keep going! There aren't signs, but just keep going! You will know when you have gotten to just the right spot!
