This property is located in central Missouri in the rolling wooded hills and farm lands. The camping areas are very quiet and are great for star gazing. We have a 7 acre lake stocked with Bass and Crappie ( you do not need a fishing license) you can camp next too . We also have a secluded site below the Dam that is a great camping site. There are 50 acres available and you can set up your tent wherever you want. The roads inside the property are a little rough and vehicles with normal clearance should not have any issues. I would recommend vehicles with all wheel or 4 wheel drive.

The world stood still
First time hipcamper here. You just couldn't ask for a better experience than what John (and Junior) provide at Echo Lake. My husband and I had a blast for three nights straight of EPIC FISHING, star gazing, off roading and some of the best bird watching. John made us feel very welcomed and safe, he checked on us daily to make sure we didn't need anything. HIGHLY recommend, look forward to coming back.

We had a great time here! John is very friendly and helpful. And the site is amazing! We loved being right on the lake and exploring the property. We'll definitely be back.

John was an absolutely amazing host! Truly above and beyond! Our campsite was just perfect. He mowed the area, had firewood waiting, and encouraged us to explore the land and lake. We had so much fun fishing and swimming with our dogs. Also, I have no idea how he keeps the mosquitoes out, but we left bite-free! This is a magical piece of Missouri and we are so thankful we got to spend a weekend there! We will absolutely be back and recommend this campsite 100%!

We absolutely loved this Hipcamp location!! The host, John, was so friendly and helpful, showing us all around the property and options for us to set up camp. The area we picked was right by the lake and it was such a beautiful spot to hang out and camp. We loved being able to listen to the lake and looking right out our tent to the beautiful lake! The host's dog had a great time splashing around in the lake while he showed us around and it made us wish we had our own dogs with us! ;) This would be a great property to bring pets as well! We loved our stay here and we would highly recommend it!
