Unfortunately we picked a very rainy wet time to camp here but with that said we never had any worries about getting stuck anywhere we had to get to!!! Amanda’s son met us upon arrival and was very sweet to help guide us into our spot! While we never meet Amanda face to face she was very good about communication and answering any of our questions quickly! We were mainly only there to sleep as we were away visiting family during the day. This spot worked out perfect for our needs!!

Nice, maintained property with expansive views, short trail, water, fire pit & picnic tables. Level site, might want to be sure your hoses reach. We had 25' hoses and we made it work but would have preferred we had longer hoses. Amanda & family are gracious and friendly, including Charlie. Great stay for us when visiting MU. The yurt is really cool too.

This spot was exactly what we were hoping for—total privacy and beautiful, open land. The gravel site made setup effortless, and having the pond right there made the whole experience feel so calm and special. It felt like our own little escape, far from everything. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, and their generosity—especially letting us use the paddle boat—is a big part of why we would absolutely return.

We were only here overnight, but it was great. We peddle boated in the morning before leaving, and the hosts dog swam in the pond with us while doing that. My dogs were able to run around off leash which was nice.

This campsite is on a quiet, beautiful, very well kept property. It is located away from the highway, but only minutes away from Columbia, Missouri. Amanda, the host, was friendly and very accommodating. The site was level and pet friendly. We will definitely use this campsite again.
