The best camping near Polo with swimming

·

In Polo, you’ll find over 290 campsites where swimming isn’t just allowed—it’s the main event. Expect grassy lakefronts, spring-fed ponds, and river bends deep enough for a proper dip. Average nightly rates hover around $35, with some spots starting as low as $25. If you want a sure bet, Harmony Lake Farm Park & Playground (528 reviews) draws families for its fishable pond and big shady trees. Milo Farm Sacred Land (295 reviews) has trails leading straight to a secluded swimming hole. Perdue Homestead Farm (103 reviews) delivers on quiet water and wildlife-watching. Most sites welcome pets, allow campfires, and have showers, so you can rinse off after a day in the water. Bring a towel, your favorite float, and plan to stay awhile.

Milo Farm was established organically a few years ago. The energy at Milo so amazing we wanted to share! There's a story behind the sacredness of this land, Loni can share that with you if you ask! There are 5 different ecosystems at Milo, all which hold their own magic!🪄 The lodge was built then the camping sites, then the Hippie Trailer, which is located near the west woods near the Fairy Forest. Then the Bunkhouse was established, it's just past the barn on the north end of the property. The lodge, where the Airbnb and pool are is centrally located on the land. We rent out the lower level guest quarters for non-campers. There are 2 stocked ponds, miles of trails, pool, Zen garden, farm animals and more. For diehard campers the beauty of primitive pack-in/pack-out camping of Freedom Field is a joy! Feel the energy of the sacred land. Find the vortexes here! Bless Mother Earth and spend some time in nature at this magical place Great for the spiritually minded with several meditation spots and portals. Ask about availability of the art golf cart rental if interested. Loni can take you on a guided history, nature and meditation hike if you sign up for that. There are events happening some weekends you can participate in. We have a Call to Prayer 9:30am every day in the Art Studio/Spirit Shack, you may join us! Loni is a spiritual intuitive and can do a reading using the Milo Farm Oracle cards she created! Ask for availability of these things. Milo has a lot to offer! Located in Eastern Jackson County MO, just 30 minutes from downtown Kansas City & 20 min from the sports stadiums.
