For some outdoorsy goodness with a slice of history on the side, check out Markham Springs Recreation Area.

The nearby Black River has got you covered on the boating, tubing, and fishing front. Historic buildings from the early 1900’s, a Civil War era viewpoint, flower studded hiking trails, and bubbling springs give this place some extra flavor. Park it for a few days at one of the electric RV sites or the primitive tent camping areas and make yourself at home in this Americana playground.

Saco Valley Farm, LLC

4 sites · Tents28 acres · Fredericktown, MO
Camp, Swim, BBQ, wade the creek, enjoy the campfire! Primitive Camping. Very Private. Water is cool and clear. Open to the stars. A great place to commune with nature, or enjoy some peace and quiet! 12 mile creek runs directly through our property. Shallow and deep all throughout. Great for wading, swimming, floating, kayaking. Great small mouth fishing! We are approximately one mile by water from the St. Francois River. We have kayaked down the creek to the river for many years. The farm is very rural. We are 16 miles to the closest gas station, and 25 miles to town. There is no internet. Cell phone service is spotty at best. Currently a working farm, we have 2 high tunnels on the property behind the house, and our original market garden. Across the creek we are finishing up our 5 acre agroforestry planting. 3 acres of elderberries and 2 acres of blackberries. 28 acres, 3 on one side, and 25 on the other. The farm is located approximately 2 hours south of St. Louis. Fredericktown is 30 mins away. Food, Drinks, Golf, and Lalo's Mexican Restaurant! There are a ton of local antique shops, and outdoor activities.
