Campsites on D'Ranch at Clearwater

Tracey was a great host. It's a very nice campground right on the lake. The animals are a lot of fun to pet too. Will definitely be back.

We absolutely loved it here! It was clean, quiet, and so peaceful. We set up our pop up between the creek and the lake and it was perfect. There were lots of things to do and explore. The hosts were super helpful and friendly and willing to show you around and tell you about their farm and animals. The farm animals are sweet and friendly and love getting pets and scratches! It was such a great time and we plan on coming back as often as we can!

This was my second time staying at D'Ranch in a month. The first camp was with my brother. The second time was because I had to give my wife and son the same experience. The clean, cool water is shallow enough to wade into and deep enough to paddle out on the available kayaks or canoe. The site is well maintained. Tracey and Ted are warm, welcoming, and readily available when needed. They are grateful, creative, and hardworking stewards of this beautiful acreage. On the drive up, campers are greeted by sheep, horses, ducks, chickens, pigs, cats, and two of the sweetest dogs you'll ever meet, Pancho and Harley. If they choose to take a break from their hard word, they might even come to your site to say hello and make sure you're safe. Also available are primitive cabins and a three-bedroom guesthouse if you're needing further accommodation. As I continue to use Hipcamp, D'Ranch will have a sentimental value to which I'll be called back. If you're reading this, you've stumbled upon a unique gem. You want to stay here.

This is officially one of our favorite places. Not sure what we enjoyed more; the property or the hosts.
We only stayed one night, but it was amazing. We camped right on the water! The camp spot was perfect. Level and under some trees. We had access to fishing, kayaking, and paddling boating. I also LOVED all of the animals. The two pups are so sweet and friendly along with the baby mule and pigs. We woke up to some goats visiting.
Our hosts were warm, friendly, and a lot of fun! They joined us for fishing after their chores and they even have a Saturday night bonfire with s’mores! It was heaven on earth and I recommend this spot to anyone! We can’t wait to come back and spend more time.

We had a great time all the way around. Hosts were great. Animals were great. The land was great. The water was accessible and was perfect for kayaks. Campsite was accommodating for our tents & fire. We enjoyed interacting with some fellow campers as well. Altogether a very nice weekend and exactly what we were looking for. Thanks!

Where to even begin? First, your heart will warm when you see a welcome sign with your name on it at the end of the driveway as you enter the ranch. You’ll then be greeted by farm animals (chickens, ducks, pigs, horses, etc.) Tracey and Ted are genuinely happy to welcome you to their little slice of Heaven and will show you around the farm and point out the best places to set up your tent/RV. They will then give you your space to enjoy the lake (I recommend sunset kayak trips) and the sounds of nature. I saw 3 eagles in as many days, along with turtles, a beaver, heron and many other bird species. If you are traveling through Missouri this is a MUST STOP campsite! Honestly, cannot recommend it enough!

Great setting if you want the option for quiet and peaceful. It's more remote so you can choose to make it what you want it.

My family was looking for a great centralized location to meet for a week long camping escape. We were not disappointed. This is a beautiful property right on the water with great fishing, kayaking, floating, and a clean flat area to put out campers. The hosts are wonderful people. It is secluded, quiet, and peaceful. The animals are very friendly and fun to watch and visit with. I would highly recommend D’Ranch for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

The kids and I had an amazing time!! Tracey and Ted are so generous to share their piece of paradise. The kayaks and paddle boat were fun but the creek was an absolute blast!! As Tracey suggested, floating the creek around to the lake and dock turned out to be a favorite activity, as did fishing for white bass. We only caught little fish but the kids loved it and the fish were so colorful and pretty. The farm animals were a fun bonus - bless Poncho for “babysitting” while I set up camp. Ben even shed a few tears when we left, saying he was just sad to have to leave this place. We will be back!!
