Milligans Retreat is conveniently (1.5 miles North of I-44 and 1.5 miles East of Hwy 65) located on the Northeast corner of Springfield, Mo. It is a level, smooth, fine gravel driveway to a large shop building adjacent to our home. We live in a quiet, rural area only a few miles from downtown Springfield. Springfield is home to several tourist attractions. Bass Pro Shops started in a Brown Derby Liquor Store in Springfield, MO. The "Mother" store is located approximately 12.5 miles from Milligans Retreat. Milligans Retreat is located approximately 6 miles from Camping World and two truck stops. Suggested Local Attractions: * Bass Pro Shops, an attraction that should not be missed. * Birthplace of Route 66 with a small Route 66 Museum in downtown. * Fantastic Caverns. * Lamberts Cafe, Home of the Throwed Rolls. A dining experience you will never forget. * Springfield Cardinals, a St. Louis Cardinals Farm Team * Springfield Zoo * Nathan Boone's Home * Wilson's Creek Battlefield

    We arrived and quickly got set up. (& deposited the electricity $) So easy. They have a beautiful place. Mr. Milligan had told us that they would not be home on the day we requested, but encouraged us to use his place anyway. We met his neighbor,Basil,as he was finishing mowing the yard and field. Had a nice chat. He even offered us some gala apples. What fun to pick a few. We're sorry we didn't get a chance to meet them, but hope they are enjoying and relaxing a bit on your travels . We'll leave in the morning; we'll rested and ready to travel on again. Thank you again for sharing your space and may your travels be safe with just a bit of adventure. Martha and Barry Barnes

    Never got to meet the host. Were away but gave us great instructions. Plenty of room for our 36’ toy hualer. Took our Harley out with no issues. very level gravel. Had W&E. Neighbors brought us garden tomatoes. Highly recommend. Definitely would return.
