Honey Creek Conservation Area

Good place for free camping just not a lot of things to do other than explore the woods or fish in the river which doesn’t have great access. They say there’s bike trails but it’s more just access roads.

It’s a big area with several access points. Here are the coordinates for the camping area along the river 39.95182° N, 94.99083° W.

Google Maps will take you on some gnarly gravel roads in a big loop if you take directions straight from Dyrt. Save yourself the time and search “Honey Creek Conservation Area”.

The spot itself is decent. It’s free. The campsites were super clean, but the bathrooms leave much to be desired. There are only really three or four designated campsites es, but there was only one other group here on a Wednesday. You can hear some traffic noise from the freeway, but nothing outrageous.

Verizon signal fluctuates, but averages two bars.

Beautiful area. Wish we could've explored it a bit. Just spent the night here on our drive through to KY.

Seems there are lots of things you can do while here, besides camping: fishing, birding, hiking & horseback riding.
