A True Hidden Gem! Pictures Don't Do It Justice!
My wife and I had the most wonderful weekend camping at Harmony Lake! From the moment we arrived, the hosts, Joan and Ken, were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. They keep the property in absolutely immaculate condition. We needed electricity for our site, and Ken made it happen without any trouble at all.
The views from our tent overlooking the lake were breathtaking—the definition of camping luxury! We spent our time relaxing and filming our new Coody Dome tent for our YouTube channel, "Gear Up, Go Explore!", and this location was the perfect backdrop. The description and photos online don't do this place justice; it truly exceeded our expectations.
The property has fantastic amenities, like clean showers, restrooms, and even communal propane grills and a kitchen area, which saves so much space when packing. We loved the little touches, like the friendly animals, the floating bridge to the island retreat, and the well-stocked lake for catch-and-release fishing. For just $15, they provide a very generous amount of high-quality firewood, which was super convenient.
Whether you're looking for a private, basic site in the woods or a full hookup site by the water, they have options. Our advice: book fast, because this place is amazing! Thank you, Joan and Ken, for an unforgettable experience. We will definitely be back!

We’ve stayed here twice in the last month and it feels just like a private getaway for me and my family! Lovely hosts and pretty much everything we would need on hand to enjoy the amenities on the property. We enjoyed the paddle boats, the floating walkway, beach, trampoline, tables near the dock for a picnic lunch and hot shower in the guest house. Plan on coming back after winterizing our camper for those more mild winter days and use the kitchen/bathroom in the guest house for our water related needs.

Joan and Ken were wonderfully friendly, communicative, and flexible hosts — even though I stayed only briefly, they made everything easy and welcoming. The farm stay is a beautiful location, and the campsite was comfortable and well-appointed. I’d happily return and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, accommodating getaway.

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time here! We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to stay, Joan and Kenny were very accommodating and were always willing to help in any way they could. The land was also beautiful and we loved seeing their animals. The floating dock was awesome as well, wish we had more time to stay and enjoy their lovely place!

This is one of the more idyllic private residences where we have had the pleasure to stay during our cross country journey. Thanks to the hosts for their flexibility on our late arrival as we’d been on the road longer than originally planned on our day of arrival. It’s a beautiful location also managed as a bed-and-breakfast. Super sweet. We recommend.

Our guest greeted us at the gate and showed us a great camping place for my grandson and I to enjoy. The land was beautiful and surrounded by trees. We really appreciated the firewood that was delivered to us. Honestly, the online pictures don’t really show the beauty of this land and its surrounding area. One of our favorite activities for the weekend was to paddle boat around the lake and explore the gazebo in the island in the middle of the lake. Another amazing amenity is the animals that are walking around and especially the beauty of the peacocks. I look forward to having a family camp out and enjoying the beach. Make sure to bring a hammock because they have a wonderful set up. There are also many opportunities for recreational exercise along with hiking around the lake. This is absolutely one of my favorite hip camps that I have ever been blessed to be able to camp out.

I cannot say enough good things about Harmony Farm, and the owners Kenny and Joan. This was by far and away the best camping experience my family have ever had. To say they went out of their way to accommodate us would be an understatement. We forgot our smores ingredients, and Joan arrived with a bag of marshmallows chocolate and crackers! One of our tent hinges snapped, and Kenny made it his mission to get it fixed and safe for the night! I have four young children and they were so kind and welcoming, I seriously cannot say enough good things. The farm itself was wonderful, just an absolute dream location. The children had fun in the lake, and admiring Boris the pig and the emu and peacocks. I almost don’t want to leave such deserving high praise as I loved how peaceful and quiet it was! Thank you so much for our stay, and we will for sure be back!

I loved tent camping at Joan and Ken’s land. It was so peaceful and beautiful. Joan was so friendly and accommodating. I loved the floating walkway. It was the perfect place to unplug and get away. Can’t wait to go back.

We visited when the temps were in the upper 90s and Kenny brought us a nice fan to help beat the heat and Joan met us with fresh cucumber drinks, and the ice machine helped too. The lake was small but good for swimming, and I enjoyed paddle boarding at night under the stars. The floating bridge is interesting and leads out to an island with a few nice sitting areas. The campsite was nice and easy to pull into, and the peacocks and cats were friendly.

The best luxury RV camping near Sedalia guide
Where to go
Katy Trail
Sedalia is located right on the Katy Trail, a 240-mile rail-to-trail conversion that runs across the middle of Missouri. While some cyclists do the whole trail, others do shorter segments. This state park also welcomes hikers and horseback riders. Jump on the trail at the restored historic Katy Depot, and head out in either direction. A number of camping options are located along the route, including RV, tent, and glamping rentals.
Knob Noster State Park
Knob Noster State Park is less than 30 minutes west of Sedalia, and it provides a scenic backdrop for outdoor adventures. Two small lakes welcome anglers and paddlers. Several trails take hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians through the woodlands and along waterways. Basic and electric tent and RV campsites are available, and backpackers can also find a dedicated primitive campground beside the McAdoo Trail.
Arrow Rock State Historic Site
For a dose of history alongside camping, head to Arrow Rock State Historic Site and Park, 45 minutes northeast of Sedalia. Travel back to the 1800s by touring the buildings remaining from a once-burgeoning town. A small fishing pond and two trails provide scenery and recreational opportunities An onsite campground offers basic, electric, and full hookup sites for tents and RVers.
Columbia
Approximately an hour northeast of Sedalia, Columbia is mid-Missouri’s largest town. The downtown area is popping with restaurants, bars, and entertainment—thanks in part to the college students that call the University of Missouri–Columbia home for much of the year. Private RV parks are found nearby, as well as public campgrounds at Finger Lakes State Park and Mark Twain National Forest.
When to go
Camping is best enjoyed in the spring and fall, when temperatures are mild. Fall is particularly beautiful in the forested areas. Summer brings heat and humidity—and the town explodes with visitors in mid-August during the Missouri State Fair. Winter is generally not a recommended time for camping due to the temperatures, which dip below freezing, and the winter precipitation.
