We all have our own idea of what paradise looks like. Is your tiny piece of heaven dipping your toes in the ocean water in an exotic local? Are the bright lights of New York City right up your alley? Or, does spending leisurely days under the golden sunshine, at a secluded campground in Missouri, sound more like a dream come true?
Slip away from the hubbub of every day life when you check into Basswood Resort, in Platte City, a 73-acre secluded campground surrounded by woodland and on the edge of Basswood Lake.
First, you'll have to decide what type of camping experience you prefer. Bring your RV, which you can park in a pull up space. Or, find tranquility by parking in a quiet spot among the trees.
The lush campground also features a private lodge, country suites, and classic cabins. Settle in to the classic cabin, for example, which includes cozy beds, a kitchen, and a bathroom with a toilet and a shower.
And, what would a camping trip be without bringing your pups along? The pet-friendly campground even boasts a play area for the pooches (and chairs for you to relax).
Each weekend during the summer features themes - Fun in the Sun Weekend is May 31 to June 2, 2019, for example - filled with fun activities and an outdoor movie.
