There is a lot of nut trees and chickens! I inherited this land from my uncles who spent their whole life’s purpose to live and maintain the land. It has given me such peace and a great escape that I think everyone deserves to touch a piece of its soul to help you in your soul searching or unplugging from life to clear your mind to tackle the world! I’ve grown up seeing the land change, watching how nature can change streams and hills and love seeing how years and years of leaving it alone can create such a beautiful canvas all on its own. One of my uncles favorite things to do was to look for arrowheads and if you are familiar with ancient Indian practices, you can find many characteristics in these woods.

It is a private camping club which is made up of 10 waterfront acres along the main channel/current of the majestic Missouri River.

The nearest RV dump station is at Love's Truck stop in St. Joseph 14 miles to the East. Each site has its own fire ring. You may bring your own wood or buy some at Casey's in Wathena. There is a hydrant near the elevated deck which is supplied with city water in case you need to fill jugs. Feel free to fish and enjoy shore fires along the banks of the Missouri River, but do so at your own risk and supervise minors at all times. Remember to bring your own fishing gear for an immersive experience by the water. Experience the tranquility of the riverfront and make the most of your stay. There is a fairly steep boat ramp past site 10. There are public boat ramps that are maintained in nearby Elwood, St. Joseph (near the Casino) and Atchison. This ramp can only be used by registered campground guest only and users assume all risk to themselves and property. The campground is at the original steamboat landing and downtown of the now ghost town of Palermo, KS.

This was a great site! It's secluded on the middle of 20 acres, well maintained, and stocked with firewood. The toilet and sink were a really nice touch.

Weekend Trip to Twilight Grove

The area was spacious and private, exactly what I was looking for. If I had to nitpick, a sign at the entrance would be beneficial (very easy to miss turnoff), as well as a sign at the actual site. But the camping area matched the pictures, so that was easy enough. Highly recommend!

Super friendly owners and a beautiful farm with plenty of amenities and so many fun things to do! Swimming in the pond was great, the creek had so many cool fossils and we woke up to a ton of cows on the hillside which was so much fun for my son. Jock was such a sweet dog and my dog loved him a lot! Highly recommending staying here.

We enjoyed being close to the river...just a short walk from our site. The premises and bathrooms were clean. Great place for the evening on our cross country trip.

Deep site, slightly down sloping. Drive in with picnic table ans fire ring. Will likely need extension cord.

I came up for another peaceful camping excursion at Laura’s place! It’s so quiet and peaceful! This time I was able to enjoy the amenities near the river. Several chairs and sitting areas, fire pits, etc. This place is just beautiful and I feel completely safe staying here. Laura is very quick to respond if needed. I will attempt to upload some photos.

I Absolutley loved Laura’s place! I felt safe. The area is in the country on the river. Driving through the town to get there everyone would wave as you passed by; reminded me of all the friendly people at home. The camping area is extremely clean. Laura even brought me a converter for the electric hookup as I was car camping. The tent area has soft fresh grass with a large open area. There were picnic tables, and small fire rings/pits. I didn’t get a chance to go down to the river to enjoy it as I was passing through but I did see the area with comfy chairs and fire area with lights hanging. There are two tiny homes they are almost finished with that look adorable. There is a toilet and sink with running water. I loved how quiet and peaceful the area is and Star gazing at its finest! ! Such an amazing peaceful experience. I met Laura and she was so friendly and accommodating.. she thought of things I didn’t and her response time was very quick. I most definetly will be back!
