Find a place in a meadow to star gaze and watch the moon, or hike into the woods for a secluded camping experience. Beautiful rolling hills, wildlife, wild flowers, peace and quiet are just a few of the perks in this rare location next to the Bluffwoods Conservation Area.

Part shade camper/tent site 1

Look up, a masterpiece.

Very nice, hard working people. Beautiful farm. 10 min drive to gas, groceries, restaurants, and a bowling alley. Some hiking trails on site, but also 2 miles of paved handicap friendly trails just 5 mins away. There is also a conservation area that is 5 mins away that boast a lookout area that feels like you can see clear across the state of Kansas, but you will have to hike a 1/2 up a bluff. I 100% recommend staying here, especially if you have kids.

Private walkin pasture site 3

We loved the Beacon farm! It was an honor to meet Kevin and Cheri and learn about their work and dedication. The campsite itself was very peaceful and clean. We got to say hi to the farm animals and experience goat milking. Highly recommend!
