Campsites on D'Ranch at Clearwater

After a long day's drive it was so relaxing to stay at this hip camp site. Beautiful private, quiet mowed green grassy area next to a creek. Tracy was very friendly and welcoming. She led the way out to our site as well as showing us the animals on her farm. She encouraged us to take the loop around the pastures to stretch our legs and check out the sheep and pigs. There is a fire ring and wood available at the camp site. Highly recommend!

Awesome stay, definitely will be back! The kayaks are so fun and close to the campsite. Great that there’s access to drinking water. Also, the hosts are incredibly welcoming! They’ve built a special place- the land, the animals, it truly is a little slice of heaven.

Thanks Megan! We are pleased you enjoyed yourselves and hope to see you back soon. If you come on a weekend after Memorial day you may even get to enjoy our weekly bonfire!

We had a great time camping at D'Ranch. Tracey was quick to reply on questions prior to our trip and very helpful on anything we need while there. My boys especially loved the complimentary kayaks and canoes.

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!
