4. Black Sheep Bluff

21mi from Lake Tapawingo · 4 sites · Tents, RVs

A Historic Property with Deep Roots in American History This very special property has visible links to the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails, the Civil War, and the region’s early coal mining history. A natural spring on the land was once used by the Pony Express, as well as travelers on the pioneer trails and even during the Civil War. The property sits on what were once the banks of the Missouri River, perched on a bluff that offers incredible sunsets and wide-open night skies. Today, it’s a small working farm with chickens, goats, and a massive turkey named “Tank” who proudly answers to his name. There’s so much to see here — from rich history and wild open spaces to the nearby river and passing trains.

41mi from Lake Tapawingo · 1 site · Lodging

A lovely creekside camping location ready for your dry camp including lovely forested spots to hold your tents, truck or van campers. The creek is fun to play in but certainly not over knee high in depth. The rock creek bed is great to walk down and explore the bluffs, and when dry or very low gives campers the occasional arrowhead. This location was the ancestral land of ancestral peoples (currently their name is unknown) and once you get settled in, you can easily see why! Firewood is provided as well as a rock fire ring, LED lights, seating and a very unique outhouse and outdoor shower. Can't wait to see you! ***Once you are booked, you will receive a short video showing you the campsite, the camp kitchen, outhouse, etc. as well as instructions for parking.

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.

Host was great with communicating with me on directions and responsive when I had a question. The property was exactly as described in the ad and my family had a wonderful time. Grab all the supplies you need, the town doesn't have many options for groceries. Not even really an issue, just a time saving tip. 😊

We loved the peace and quiet. There's water features and streams throughout the trails on property. Check with Michael about using the gas stove and oven; we didn't use it and the gas may have been off. Everything was clean and the inside water got hot. Michael was quiet to respond.

Weekend Trip to Owl Creek Cabins

We had a wonderful time the yurt is beautiful, the bed is comfortable. The property is so fun. We had a nice hike and there are a few other fun places he is working on to glamp in the future. The area is private, you can kindof see the other sites but can't hear them. We brought our 8mo old baby set up our travel crib and she had a great time. The area is mostly shaded so it stayed cool while we were there. We stayed 2 nights and wish we could've stayed more. There was a fan in the yurt which was nice because we were debating bringing one, and there were several chairs both by the site and by the camp fire so we didnt even use ours. There is a hammock which was peaceful to lay on. We didn't use the grill but it takes charcoal and tools are provided. The bed is a queen size. You don't have to bring much to be comfortable there. We will definitely go back!

This time we also did some fishing in the pond, as well. We will most definitely be back next year. Super friendly host, beautiful location, well maintained, can’t go wrong spending time here!

This was a unique site as it was private and wooded. We could hear a barn owl hooting during the night. The kids really enjoyed the tree house with the hammock. The host was very helpful and guided us down to the river bottom. Thanks!
