In the 1840's there was a trading post on the property known as Lick Skillet because the owner would set the pans out at night for the dogs to lick.   Today, we call it Fanthorn Forest and it's our dream, our haven and our home.  We love sharing our farm with others and allowing them the same experience of peace and tranquility we get from the land. Learn more about this land: Located only 50 miles SE of Kansas City, MO!  We have woods and pasture with Settle's Ford Wildlife area (fishing and hiking available) 1/4 mile away. Camping is primitive with only an outhouse and no shower facilities. There are MANY thorn trees, so hikers must have proper footwear.  Fire ring, wood and a grate for cooking are provided.  Livestock encounters are also available with owners in attendance.  All proceeds are put back in the farm to care for the animals and the land.  RV's are allowed, but we do not have any hook ups available and they are not allowed in the woods.  Parking area is at the end of the driveway for both cars and RV's.  We love kids and will provide lawn darts or any other games we have available if requested.  Please visit our website at fangthornforest.com for more information.Located only 50 miles SE of Kansas City, MO!  We have woods and pasture with Settle's Ford Wildlife area (fishing and hiking available) 1/4 mile away.

Magical Experience!
Wow, this place is incredible! The owners have created a beautiful shade-covered private campsite in the woods across a little bridge and down a trail from the parking area, with a small fairy garden along the path. The composting toilet is convenient and all paths are nicely lit at night from well-placed solar lamps throughout the woods. They've cut hiking trails into the forest right from the large campsite area that are pleasant hikes through the woods. The farm is a geriatric horse rescue so there are lots of various horse breeds running around in the pasture nearby. A wonderful experience and we very highly recommend it! We will be back for sure.

This is a fantastic place to camp! Cheryl is a really nice person that knows the property and all of the animals on it. It was a perfect place to get away with my dogs! It would appear that the owners put a lot of thought into how they set up the area. You are probably least than 400 feet from your car, but it feels like you are deep in the woods. Highly recommended. There is just something special about this place.

Cheryl was a great hostess, gracious, kind, and spent lots of time showing off her awesome animals to the kids. She even supplied a camp stove due to the wind being too strong to cook over fire. The campsite was well lit, private, and stocked with firewood.

Camping in peace and quiet
Beautiful land, friendly people! Easy to park camper and hook up to utilities. They have a beautiful area with a fire pit with pre cut wood. They have a fancy outhouse with motion sensor light that comes on when you walk in. There is lighting all along the path to the outhouse. Their animals are just as friendly as the hosts and will come say hi.

Amazing!
This property was amazing! The hosts were super friendly and gave us a tour of the whole farm and let us meet/feed the animals! Even with a rainy/muddy weekend, we had a blast and would definitely come back with some friends! Cheryl also makes her own yarn out of the alpaca fur that you can purchase!

We really enjoyed staying at Fangthorn Forest Farm. The land is beautiful, directions were clear and easy to follow. The farm animals were wonderful and the tent camping site secluded and still easy to reach. Lane and Cheryl are thoughtful hosts. Lane checked on us and brought plenty of wood for the fire pit. Our stay was relaxing and fun!
