There is a lot of nut trees and chickens!
I inherited this land from my uncles who spent their whole life’s purpose to live and maintain the land. It has given me such peace and a great escape that I think everyone deserves to touch a piece of its soul to help you in your soul searching or unplugging from life to clear your mind to tackle the world!
I’ve grown up seeing the land change, watching how nature can change streams and hills and love seeing how years and years of leaving it alone can create such a beautiful canvas all on its own.
One of my uncles favorite things to do was to look for arrowheads and if you are familiar with ancient Indian practices, you can find many characteristics in these woods.

A Historic Property with Deep Roots in American History
This very special property has visible links to the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails, the Civil War, and the region’s early coal mining history. A natural spring on the land was once used by the Pony Express, as well as travelers on the pioneer trails and even during the Civil War.
The property sits on what were once the banks of the Missouri River, perched on a bluff that offers incredible sunsets and wide-open night skies.
Today, it’s a small working farm with chickens, goats, and a massive turkey named “Tank” who proudly answers to his name. There’s so much to see here — from rich history and wild open spaces to the nearby river and passing trains.

There is a lot of nut trees and chickens!
I inherited this land from my uncles who spent their whole life’s purpose to live and maintain the land. It has given me such peace and a great escape that I think everyone deserves to touch a piece of its soul to help you in your soul searching or unplugging from life to clear your mind to tackle the world!
I’ve grown up seeing the land change, watching how nature can change streams and hills and love seeing how years and years of leaving it alone can create such a beautiful canvas all on its own.
One of my uncles favorite things to do was to look for arrowheads and if you are familiar with ancient Indian practices, you can find many characteristics in these woods.

A Historic Property with Deep Roots in American History
This very special property has visible links to the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails, the Civil War, and the region’s early coal mining history. A natural spring on the land was once used by the Pony Express, as well as travelers on the pioneer trails and even during the Civil War.
The property sits on what were once the banks of the Missouri River, perched on a bluff that offers incredible sunsets and wide-open night skies.
Today, it’s a small working farm with chickens, goats, and a massive turkey named “Tank” who proudly answers to his name. There’s so much to see here — from rich history and wild open spaces to the nearby river and passing trains.

Great nature stay near KC. It has a family summer camp kind of vibe to it and lots of trails and open space which pleasant.
If you are in the car camping space, it’s worth noting that if there is an event, your campsite is in the parking lot. On our particular night there was a drunk woman yelling at her kids that was a buzz kill

Great views and lots to see. We really loved waking up and having the grazing horses greet us right outside our door. My dogs both loved exploring the lake. The lighting of the grill house and adjoining lakefront lounge area make this a fun spot to explore during the day or for night walks. I definitely will be booking again.

One of my favorite camp grounds just a stones throw from Kansas City. The walk-in tent sites are particualarly wonderful as you feel complete secluded just 50 feet from another camper. The woods, lake, and stream make for fantastic photo opportunities and endless days of hikes and outdoor enjoyment.
