Weekend Trip to Geist Family Farms

The site was quiet and felt private. There was plenty of space for 4 tents and our outdoor games. My dog enjoyed being able to explore freely.

I took my grandsons aged 12 and 9 in my travel trailer. There is a wonderful dock, benches, deck chairs, and a fire pit. The beautiful pond and biting fish kept the boys happy along with building a fire. There is a shed which we visited in the evening for a shower and to watch tv. The most perfect views. I hope to make it back someday. Hosts are lovely people with beautiful children.

Weekend Trip to Geist Family Farms

We had a wonderful time staying on Allie's land! The private bathroom and shower area was very clean. They were accommodating and kind and even brought us fish food and worms. The catfish were huge and fun to watch! It was an incredibly peaceful experience. Thank you!

This site was perfect for our camper-children. Even beyond the excellent tent camp area and excellent fishing available, was the cordial and authentically real hospitality of Ryan and Allie.

My daughter, dogs, and I stayed in our tent by the pond. It was quiet and secluded but we were also just a few minutes drive from groceries and anything else we might have needed. The mowed paths were great, they gave us a map of all the paths on the property. My daughter loved playing in the pond and watching the fish. We ran to town and bought floatie chairs to add to the fun. In the morning there was a family of geese with five babies that floated around on the pond while we packed up. I felt safe and had a relaxing time. Hosts are very kind and helpful.

Weekend Trip to Geist Family Farms

Such an epic trip for so many reasons. First, it’s hands-down one of the best fishing spots in Kansas. We probably got 35 to 40 fish the entire weekend bass, crappie, catfish (some over 10 pounds) sunfish and even a perch. Second, it’s a really great piece of land and the owners are simply incredible people. They brought us firewood and they had ice and a wonderful shower to use after a long day in nature. Third, close enough for needs but far enough to see the stars. Book it! You’ll love it.

Where to go

Weston Bend State Park

Catch views of the mighty Missouri River from high on the bluffs in Weston Bend State Park. Expansive farmlands of the river valley give way to wooded ridges, lined with meandering hiking and biking trails and scenic overlooks. Historic sites and expansive views await. The onsite campground features basic and electric sites, suitable for both tents and RVs. Set up camp in the woodlands and enjoy the serenity.

Lewis and Clark State Park

Less than 20 minutes north of Weston, Lewis and Clark State Park showcases the expedition of Lewis and Clark, whose Corps of Discovery passed through the area in 1804. Where they rested along the shores of a scenic 300-acre lake, a state park now offers outdoor recreation. Fishing, paddling, and boating are prime activities. The campground offers tent and RV sites, some with electric hookups.

Smithville Lake

For watersports and more, head to Smithville Lake, a popular recreation spot with 7,000 acres set amid the rolling prairies and hills. Activities include fishing, paddling, swimming, and boating. You’ll also find hiking trails and golf courses along the shores—including disc golf. Three large campgrounds showcase over 700 sites for tents and RVs. Whether you are seeking dry camping, electric, water/electric, or full hookups, there’s a site for you, some with water views.

When to go

Weston is a year-round destination, with several town festivals marking the changing seasons and holidays. Summer is generally hot and humid, and the lakes and rivers are popular retreats this time of year. Spring is pleasant, with mixed weather. Fall is an annual favorite, thanks to the weather and Mother Nature’s annual show. Winter is usually cold, with freezing temperatures and chances for snow and ice.
