Warriors o' Rainbow Horse Sanctuary

3 sites · RVs, Tents16 acres · Reeds, MO

The pasture is quite visible from Old Route 66, nearly adjoining it. Therefore people traveling “the Mother Road” find it convenient to stay with us. Grass is the best forage for horses, especially older ones, so we take care of our pastures, making for beautiful scenery for campers, too. Plus the entire back mile is bordered by old forest. And there is a swimming hole not a half mile away. This is a quiet and private site, bordered by a neighbor's old forest on back, other neighbor's cattle pasture on side, and you're in one of the pastures used by the Horse Sanctuary. (You are camping about 1/4 mile, more or less, from our house.) We regularly see coyote, wild turkeys, deer, fireflies, and the like. We are just 1/2 mile off Old Route 66, therefore there are quirky little museums and great restaurants (for such a rural area!). Plus we are only about an hour's drive from Branson. MO. which is a known tourist attraction.

Stardust Market Garden

5 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Fairland, OK

At the edge of a small town in Oklahoma, plenty of space to look out over hayfields, lounge in one of our hammocks, sit around the fire, watch chickens, ducks, and geese, and maybe lend a hand to one of our varied farm projects. Permaculture-based polyculture market garden that sells veggies, herbs, and eggs. (Plants are all certified organic, eggs aren't certified but fed organic feed) A few miles from Twin Bridges State Park has RV dump station. The town is walkable and there are plenty of bikes to use. The main use area will have lights from the neighbors, 2 lane highway, but also private areas to set up a chair or hammock. Behind the hedgerow (to the North) there's a mowed areas for a tent. There's also a tree platform for tents (though it currently needs some brush clearing to get to it) Also a train runs about 10 x day and night about 5 blocks away. There's capacity for leaving your trash/recycling here (I have to pay for weekly pick-up but rarely is my bin full), there's also washer/dryer in an outbuilding that can be used (within reason)

The Hill

13 sites · RVs, Tents20 acres · Asbury, MO

My family settled on this plot of land at the turn of the century, moving west in a covered wagon. And aside from a brief time in the late 80's it has been in our family ever since. For most of the 20th century the property was a small farm, grazing cattle and mowed for bailing hay. We are trying to rejuvenate the property and breathing some new life into this old plot of land. Learn more about this land: The Hill, aptly named, is a hilltop that slopes down to a large pond that divides the twenty acre property in two. With plenty of room to stretch your legs you can enjoy a nature walk. In the evening enjoy the night sky around one of several fire rings, while roasting marshmallows. Easy access and only a quarter mile from the main road. Potential for Noise: MoKan Speedway and Active railroad nearby

Buffalo Hump

11 sites · RVs, Tents15 acres · Wyandotte, OK

We have 15 beautiful acres of different terrain; the forest area is great for our tent campers with multiple areas to hide away amongst the trees. We ask tent campers to park outside the forest area and it is a short walk to all sites. Great area to walk around and explore the wildlife. For our self-contained RVers we have various areas to utilize the grass but yet still close to shade, some with picnic tables, fire pits and some without but we are growing into those features for all sites. Self-contained areas can fit up to 45' RV, we ask that if you are towing you remove your vehicle prior to going into the site areas. We also have areas with concrete if you prefer to stay there also suitable up to 45'. Regardless of the site we have communal fire pits to use and wood for a small fee. All Sites are currently self-contained, which means you will need to provide your own bathroom facilities. Animals are welcome but we ask they stay on a leash. We have spotted several turtles on the property, and we have free roaming guinea fowl to help keep down on the pesky bugs. We have a 13,000 sq ft building with Military Surplus, flags, FREE morning coffee and a small vending machine for drinks and snacks 7 days a week 9am to 6pm. We do have locked gates after hours, so please let us know if you need a gate code. We make it easy to get in and out of the property with three entrances/exits and large enough for big rigs to pull in. We are on US HWY 60 1.5 miles West of Indigo Sky Casino and a short 3 miles from River Bend Casino and Twin Bridges State Park. We are very close to Grand Lake which is a premier fishing location and host top professional fishing tournaments here. Great for Large Mouth Bass, bluegill, smallmouth bass and white crappie and channel catfish. If you're looking for something different, they are known for having spoonbill as well.
