We have two private sites, a primitive campsite directly on the Lake of the Ozarks, and a RV spot with full hook-ups (water, 50 amp AC, and sewer). The two sites are separated from each other, but both have access to the lake, including kayaks, a canoe, a paddleboat, excellent fishing, a boat-ramp, floating dock and a one-mile perimeter nature/hiking trail.
*** NOTE *** From January until early May, the lake level is dropped about five (5) feet, so boating and fishing access range from difficult to impossible (though, arrowhead hunting is a fun activity you might enjoy during the low water months!).
Primative Campsite - A private 1.5 acre campsite with a firepit (and plenty of wood to burn in it) and direct access to the Lake of the Ozarks. Amenities and features of the campsite include: a private camp toilet with a door and a concrete pad, picnic table on a gravel pad with an umbrella, a fully equipped cornhole game, fishing pole holders, a garbage can, three (3) level wood tent platforms, and even a big swing set!
RV site - the RV site also has a picnic table with umbrella, a garbage can and a fully equipped cornhole game. Nearby, the RV site also has access to a very nice private pit toilet, a gazebo with lights and an electrical outlet, and a firepit stocked with firewood.

D'Ranch at Clearwater is a small, 40 acre hobby farm located on the north side of the Lake of the Ozarks in Central Missouri. What started as a simple love of backyard chickens has now become a dream farm for Tracey Durant and her husband Theodore. Nestled in the valley between two forest covered hillsides, and running adjacent to Clearwater Creek on the east and the Lake on the south, D'Ranch could not have been a more perfect location for the Durant's to plant their roots and get their feet wet.
While they continue their love of backyard chickens with their small egg and hatchery operation, they have expanded their interests to an array of friendly farm animals including horses, milk cows, pigs, sheep, ducks, geese, and an occasional turkey or two. Guests are welcome to explore the farm, join in the daily milking, and participate as much as they like in the farm chores. There are excellent photo ops so come prepared, and don't forget to share those great pics!

We had a great stay at 38 Special. The resort is very well maintained, quiet, and has beautiful views of the lake. The sites are nicely set up with plenty of room to relax outside, and the overall property has a more upscale feel than a typical RV campground. The location was also great for exploring the Lake of the Ozarks while still having a peaceful place to come back to. We would definitely stay here again.

It was just me and my dog that stayed on Michael’s property and we had the absolute best time. Michael welcomed us and gave us a rundown of the property and was very welcoming and kind. The property itself is absolutely pristine, I felt the love and care that has been put in there with I’m sure no shortage of laborious hours. We were just driving through so we only stayed one night, but I am hoping to return again! It was a 100 degree day, but relaxing in the lake right on site, I never even thought about the heat. There are perfect trees for setting up a hammock and I probably enjoyed that the most! No shortage of stars to see on a clear night, I would absolutely recommend to anyone.
