L'isola Farm

In 2012 I realized I wanted to reconnect with nature. I was born and raised in NYC and always felt like something was wrong. It wasn't until I came to the Ozarks that I realized that it was nature that was missing from my life. It's been a long road to normalcy, the land was trashed when I got it and needed to be cleaned. Every structure on the land was build, at least in part, by me. It's rustic to say the least but it's definitely a unique experience.Learn more about this land:This is a quaint off-grid homestead. Living here is a lot like camping. It's located in the beautiful rolling hills of the Ozarks where there are plenty of stars at night and sounds of the birds and frogs always in the air. There is a great little platform in the wooded area of my property where you can set your tent up. You are also welcome to stay a little closer to the 'people area' and partake in daily activities on the farm. We are always doing something fun, sometimes it's using earthen plaster other times it's building with mud.  We have an outdoor shower available in the summer. Composting toilet. Wood cookstove. Any other questions please inquire within.

you can see our handmade living quarters!

About our site-

These are primitive campsites that are in a shaded area near Dry Creek, Brush Creek and Bryant Creek.  On our 9 acre property is bordered by Ozark County Road 162 on the east, Ozark County Road 164 on the north, Dry Creek (a loosing stream) on the west and Brush Creek on the south. Please note that Campsites #2 & #3 are directly on the banks of Dry Creek which is a seasonal loosing stream meaning that in the spring and during periods of wet weather the creek can be running or partially running. During the summer and periods of extended drought this creek will be completely dry but offers great opportunites for rock collecting and exploring.

Our campsites consist of a tractor mowed area in the shade of large Walnut, Oak and Sycamore trees with no other amenities. Set your tent, camper or RV up and enjoy the beauty of our creek side oasis. We allow fires in rock or metal fire rings as long as there are no burn bans in effect. You are welcome to gather down dead wood from our property for fires but please do not cut or damage live or standing trees. Make sure fires are controlled and supervised and always douse fires with water before leaving your camp. Please remove all trash from the area when you leave and make sure you have trash containers protected from wildlife while you are with us.

We have abundent wildlife in the area including a pair of mated Bald Eagles with imature offspring. We also have all sorts of smaller critters like racoons, oppossums, armadillos, squirrels, rabbits, ground hogs, beaver, mink, otters, muskrats and more. Lots of birds too including owls, falcons, buzzards, crows and songbirds of all kinds. Larger animals are abundant as well, you may see deer, bobcats, foxes, coyotes and there have been sightings of black bears and cougars in the area from time to time. We have occasionally seen wild hogs on the property.

We are located approximately 1 mile below the Highway 95 bridge crossing on Bryant Creek and you can put in a Highway 95 and float to our property although you will have to portage from the creek to your camp there is no road accessing the creek from our property at this time. 

Our location is close to multiple recreation and sightseeing opportunities. We are located in rural Ozark County, Missouri near the towns of Gainesville (Pop. 723) 31 miles, Ava (Pop. 2865) 29 miles, West Plains (Pop. 12,304) 37 miles.  The town of Dora is a small unincorporated community located 10 miles east of our site has a small general store and restaurant.

 Use common sense when accessing these campsites and all areas adjacent to our property, county roads can become impassible during flood conditions. Remember "Turn Around Do't Drowned" don't drive into flood waters. Access to these campsites is through an open field and may become soft and muddy during rainy periods. We highly recommend the use of 4 wheel drive vehicles when conditions warrant. Pulling heavy campers and RVs into these areas is not recommended when it is raining or after peiods of rains. You will be responsible for the cost of any recovery operations if you get stuck. This site can flood in wet conditions so caution should be used during periods of heavy rains and we may have to relocate your campsite to higher ground in the event of high water. Campsites 1, 2 and 3 are all subject to flooding and during periods of heavy rain. Only Campsite #4 is safe from floods.  It is also the least shaded and will receive full sun in the afternoon. 

Our creeks and rivers provide lots of fun water activites but there are no lifeguards or on site emegency services. Cell service is very limited or non-existant at the campsite location and you will have to drive to higher location possibly several miles away to get service.  We are surrounded by private property please respect others and do not tresspass on private property.

We have a mated pair of eagles living in the area. They have two immature offspring also living with them.

Olga Rd / Finley Creek

400 feet of creek/river, some fishing. Great place to set up a hammock or a tent and camp for the weekend. A path (not paved or graveled) from Olga leading north towards Finley creek is capable of parking a few vehicles strategically. Neighboring properties don’t have any noticeable boundaries at the time of this update ( Feb/24) please be respectful of anyone you may come across. Cell service is extremely limited. At the moment, there’s a downed tree and no clear path for a camper to be hauled in or out. Tent or hammock camping only. No facilities. This is “roughing it” territory.
