We had such a great time camping at The Hitching Post! Steve was a friendly, helpful host who was more than happy to answer any questions we had and made sure that we felt welcome and comfortable and that we had the best camping experience possible. He even played a few rounds of disc golf with us at the course on-site!
One of the most unique and awesome things about camping here was the new 9 hole disc golf course on the property that’s open to campers. The course was the perfect mix of open fairways and wooded holes with one elevated basket, a hole with a water hazard, several holes with mandos that force strategic play, and beautiful scenery throughout-it has some small hills and varied elevations while still being cart-friendly and easy to navigate. It’s a perfect spot for beginners and veterans alike, as beginners can experience a fun round of 9 holes with neat decor and sights along the way and the avid disc golfer could easily make a day of playing this course multiple times, trying out different throws and strategies throughout.
For anyone who loves the camping and disc golf combo, The Hitching Post is absolutely the perfect spot on the map. And any camper is sure to enjoy The Hitching Post’s picturesque scenery, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and perfect touches of rustic charm. There’s no doubt that this is our new go-to camping spot, and we can’t wait to go back!

Steve's campsite was an absolute gem, offering both stunning natural beauty and a variety of engaging activities. The site itself was meticulously maintained, providing a perfect amount of rustic charm. We enjoyed everything from knife throwing to disc golf, each experience enhanced by Steve's thoughtful hosting. What truly set this campsite apart was Steve's kindness and hospitality, making us feel welcome and cared for throughout our stay.

Wow, Steven sure does go above and beyond!!! Made everything super easy. We did camper camping which worked out well with electrical and water hookups but would also HIGHLY RECOMMEND for tent camping! We walked the whole (great size) property and saw some beautiful and private tent camping and additional RV sites (for boondocking)—all with grills and just lovely surroundings! Our 2 dogs loved it too!

Such an incredible experience. The best campsite! Steven was phenomenal and was always there to help and join into activities. Steven also spent time getting my son's lure out of a tree! So many activities that my 5 year old did not want to leave.
We cannot wait to go back and highly recommend The Hitch'N Post

My son and I had a wonderful camping weekend together. The campsite is huge. Well maintained and so peaceful. The trees hang overhead so it’s not hot we could lay in our hammock and watch the birds. You can hear lots of wildlife at night but still feel safe. I was there alone with my son and felt very safe, which was important to me. Steve is an awesome guy and he always goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. He’s also great with kids and you can tell he really enjoys teaching them. This was our second time back at the Hitchin’ post and we hope to be back again. It’s a great spot to camp. Thank you Steve for a special weekend with my son.

The Hitch'N Post: Where fun begins
We had a pop up camper and it was a great set up for it. There’s not electricity in the campground area but he has them by his shed if you need them. The walk around Stevens property is nice and cleared out. My dog had a blast sniffing and exploring the woods. We had the place to ourselves so a lot of privacy. Even if there was another camper around, it would of been enough space between us. He has lots of fun activities to do out there.

I really enjoyed my stay at Steven’s land. He started up a fire for me before I even arrived and we exchanged some small talk before I settled in for the evening. The campsite had all the amenities I needed, including a dog house and line! We enjoyed listening to the sounds of nature. While I was just passing through on a road trip home, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!

The Hitch'N Post: Where fun begins
Steven accommodated my group of 7 after our float trip was canceled last minute. We had an absolute blast! He was an excellent host. There were so many activities that kept us entertained all day, and he periodically checked on us. He even offered us breakfast both mornings and dinner on Saturday! It was a great place to get out of the city. We will 100% be coming to stay again and again!

The Hitch'N Post: Where fun begins
Very enjoyable peaceful and secluded tent camping at Steven’s. Excellent alternative to crowded parks on busy Holiday weekends! He greeted us with energy excited to show us his property and mountain man activities. First day after a week of rain, and the spot he put us was dry enough not to be muddy. We were near the creek and out of sight of anyone else.. There was another spot set up across the creek cut off, with the creek itself just beyond. He had mowed the access to the creek so we wouldn’t have had to walk through their camp if there was anyone there. Creek was high enough for kayaking. We enjoyed learning to throw tomahawks and knives, atlatl and archery. Steven has the creek and a decent pond for fishing, but showed up right on our requested morning time to take us fishing at the neighbor’s larger ponds. One of our boys had a couple of exciting bass strikes and our other managed to land a good sized bass. Beautiful spot, close to Kansas City, excellent host. Try it!

Great camp site! Close to KC, but definitely away from it all. Shaded camp site, clean, and close to the crick for exploring and wading. Steven is a gracious host and a wonderful man. The kids loved the fishing, ax throwing, and archery. We will be back! Thank you Steven!

We spent a weekend at The Hitching Post & have a GREAT time. The campsite was plenty big for two families & had amenities like chairs, bbq grill, swing & firering.
Steve was a great host & helped arrange a visit to the farm next door to meet the animals & a Bigfoot photo-op.

Awesome stay. Large camping area with good tree canopy covering. Mr Steven was very friendly and took us fishing our first day. We were able to visit the neighbor farm the next morning too. Would recommend for any family and we will try to stay again for longer.

This place is a gem!!!! I was a little apprehensive about camping on someone’s land that I had never met before especially with our kids but I’m really happy that we booked at the hitching post because it was such a great experience, especially for our two boys who had not been camping before. The camp itself was really wonderful and had everything you could want when you’re camping with the family. There was a fire pit, a grill top for the fire pit (as well as a charcoal grill), a table, chairs and run leads for the furry kids. There was also a nice little creek close by as well as mowed paths for the kids to roam and explore. Steve, the host, was absolutely wonderful. He made sure that the camp was set up and ready for us he met us at the gate and guided us to our camp. Steve really went above and beyond and had all kinds of fun activities that really made this camping trip for our family. He took us to a farm down the road where the boys got to see, pet, hold all kinds of animals and collect chicken eggs, he took us to an amazing pond where he helped the boys catch some fish, they got to throw knives, tomahawks and shoot bows and arrows (Steve gave VERY thorough safety instructions beforehand). And to top it off, Steve took so many pictures for us! This place is awesome and I highly recommend it to anyone :)

I highly recommend this spot! The camp ground was awesome, lots of level ground and a secluded forest feel. We spent lots of time playing in the shallow creek, perfect for our 4/6 year olds. Our camp ground also had a swing, which my girls loved. The host, Steve, couldn't have been more friendly.
The highlight of our trip though, was visiting their farm neighbors. The teenagers that showed us around the farm were extremely nice and patient. They let my kids hold their baby chicks and caught lots of their big chickens for them to hold!
It was very close to the KC metro, so a perfect weekend trip.
The only thing is we wish there had been a port-a-poty or something. We would happily have paid a much higher rate for the camp site if it had some kind of bathtroom!

Steven is a very gracious and knowledgeable host who knows how to have fun! He set up tomahawk, hunting knife, and atlatls with targets, and gave us great instruction on how to throw these safely. Afterwards, we camped at a very well-appointed site with a beautiful canopy of fall leaves overhead and a creek nearby. During the night we heard many sounds of nocturnal animals, which were so interesting to hear--owls, coyotes, deer, and raccoons. We enjoyed our stay immensely and enjoyed the time we spent with Steven. We all definitely want to go back again!

This was a great place. Not far from the city but away from it all. We did 2 nights and had all day Saturday to throw knives and hatchets. Explore the property. The creek. Walk the horse, Shilo. Steve was great. Very knowledgeable about the wild life (we saw a snake in the water and asked about it) and very available when we needed him. Water is located at the main house, so we had jugs and he filled them and brought them to our site on his ATV. Bucket toilet was in a private place with a tarp set up around it and not as bad as I feared (haha) Highly Recommend. So much to do here.

We had a great time! The site was easy to find, tidy, and there was plenty to do there to keep us busy. Steven is an energetic and gracious host. As we waved our goodbyes and drove away, my son proclaimed him “a really cool guy.” Now that’s a compliment! We’re already talking about a return trip.

Steve is an amazing host! We had such a great time there and he was so welcoming and helpful. Thank you for an awesome weekend Steve! We will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your time and energy with us! And thank you for teaching Sawyer safety and the correct way to throw knives. We had such an awesome time. Definitely a weekend we will remember forever. We loved hearing your stories and all of the fun things you did with us. You are an all around awesome guy! Hope to see you again!

The campsite was spacious, very isolated, super close to the creek and super quiet. It has lots of personal touch made out of wood that we loved! The kids loved running everywhere, petting the horse, the kittens and other animals. Steve, the host, is very welcoming and make sure your stay is memorable for all ages. Loved the warm coffee in the morning over the fire and all the learning. Thank you Steve for your hospitality and sharing a part of your home with us!

My boys and I had a great time at The Hitchin Post. The camping location was great, very comfortable and quiet. All of the activities, knives, hawks, fishing, etc... were so much fun and the kids had a blast. The fishing was awesome too! We highly recommend Steven's place to anyone looking for a unique camping experience. Definitely the perfect end to summer before school starts again.
