This stay was incredible! Tamitha and her husband were amazing and accommodating hosts. Their property was beautiful and the animals clearly well loved. Tamitha went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed and that my daughter had a wonderful experience (she was a big fan of the donkeys, especially Ernie). They also had a wonderful lake about a quarter mile away from them that was perfect for swimming my dogs. We will be back and wish we had more that a quick nights stop!

We were only here overnight, but it was great. We peddle boated in the morning before leaving, and the hosts dog swam in the pond with us while doing that. My dogs were able to run around off leash which was nice.

Weekend Trip to North Boone County Camp

The serene views were awesome. Always seemed to have a nice breeze too. We did not fish but the pond looks like a prime bass pond. We enjoyed walking along the bluffs on the Perche Creek. Plent of Indian artifacts are found near this creek. Soo cool, undisturbed!!!!!!

1 night at North Boone County Camp

I loved camping on Josh’s land! The view was beautiful and serene. My dog appreciated the wide open trails and free roaming. We saw wild turkeys, possums, fireflies and fell asleep to the sound of coyotes in the distance. We had a full moon, which was beautiful, but made star gazing a challenge. Guess we need to make a return trip!

Our 19ft camper and 21 ft truck fit with ease. Easy in and out.

Although we only stayed a night while passing through, the Double Hearts Ranch was a great experience. Tamitha was very helpful in getting us situated and the shared patio space with a bathroom was wonderful. We'll definitely come back when we are in the area and highly recommend it.

This campsite is on a quiet, beautiful, very well kept property. It is located away from the highway, but only minutes away from Columbia, Missouri. Amanda, the host, was friendly and very accommodating. The site was level and pet friendly. We will definitely use this campsite again.
