Fully rocked lots, five secluded and private sites, pond, community fire pit, picnic table, 30- and 50- amp electric hook-up, water hook-ups, security cameras. (We do not have a dump station) RJM One RV is designed to provide comfort and security for RVers that are looking for a safe place to rest for a couple nights. Overnight parking is what we had in mind, but the peace of mind and small number of total guests (5 total parking spots) could be the quick getaway that weekend, escapists crave. We understand that traveling safely extends beyond the road. Drivers need to be alert, RVs need water and electricity, and stopping to rest should bring comfort rather than anxiety. We also understand that rest-spots are a chance to stretch and enjoy new scenery. This is why we pulled all the stops to provide our guests with a fire-pit and outdoor, waterside, lounge! We wanted to create a safe, fun, flexible, and (most importantly) affordable campsite to recharge and regroup at.

McCully Heritage Project

(78)

49mi from Brighton · 5 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

Located at the confluence of the Meramec River and Labarque Creek, my place (Matt's Place) is a ridge above a bottomland bowl of sorts. The old iron truss bridge here is likely built in 1910 and it has a survey marker from 1932. The creek has a nice little swimming hole, and a beach that is sometimes sand, sometimes, gravel, and sometimes a mix of both with some silt or even mud after a storm. It's peaceful down there to explore in the creek, wade while looking outward to an opening into the Meramec River. It's also fun to stand just at the mouth of the creek in the Meramec River. It's an awesome view upstream or downstream of tree lined banks, rock bluffs, and every now and then, passing boats, canoes, paddle boards, or kayaks. The old iron truss bridge hovers above the meeting of two waters. The water is cool and clean. Some fifty species of fish have been recorded in this creek, the most in all of Jefferson County and St Louis County. The bottomland has two levels, the lower bottoms down by the creek and the upper bottoms about a hundred feet from the creek. The upper bottoms has a clearing like a meadow with mowed grass. My favorite things to do here include gazing up at a cottonwood tree that must be sixty feet tall. It's leaves in a breeze are like a thousand hands waving hello. The bottomland meadow offers just enough sky to see bats dance in the dusk air between the trees, then fireflies as it gets darker yet. Up top is where I live. Just five miles off HWY 44 and HWY 109, at Eureka, MO, (30 minutes west of downtown St Louis, 18 minutes from Six Flags) this place sits on a ridge with great views above the Meramec River.

Deer, wild turkey, and our friendly farm animals wander freely through the yard — you'll feel completely immersed in nature. Choose between two camping areas: one tucked away for maximum seclusion, and another with easy access and plenty of parking. Directly across the street, a park and lake offer their own quiet magic — watch for blue herons, wild ducks, and red-eared sliders along the water. Despite the secluded feel, you're surprisingly close to civilization: just 20 minutes to town and 25 minutes to Brentwood.

4 nights at Urban Surprise

Jeff is a great host .. very quick to respond and gave us some great ideas for visiting St. Louis. The RV spot is exactly as described in the listing ..very private and secure. It did take a bit of back and forth to get our 26’ travel trailer backed in where we could reach the water, electric and sewer (on the opposite side) and still park our tow vehicle next to the camper. There is a nice picnic table and a lovely patch of grass and garden .. very convenient for traveling with a dog. As others have mentioned, this is an urban property right by a busy street so kind of noisy. During our stay, there were a lot of sirens and motorcycles during the night so definitely earplugs for light sleepers. Everything you could want to do in St. Louis is only 10 to 20 minutes from the property.

The property is beautiful and the lake was wonderful. We kayaked and hung on the lake. We were very close to Carlinville which was nice. Great shops and lots to do. I will probably be a regular out there since it is only a hour away from where I live. A great quick get away

Weekend Trip to Urban Surprise

It’s probably about as unique as location gets I can’t imagine there’s another one like it in the neighborhood.. it feels like you’re in a SWAT at a well-kept RV park except you’re in the heart of what was once a thriving community during St. Louis’s heyday. I never felt unsafe walking around, but it’s not the kind of place that most people that are staying there live. That said if you want a taste of a place that has a lot said about it that’s over blown. Try this. It’ll be a unique experience. Also, you can walk to the spot bar and grill local black owned business that welcomed me as if I was a regular, you can walk there in about 15 minutes. Host was great and his knowledgeable about the area.

What a great camping site. Views for miles and animals all around. We truly had a perfect experience. We arrived late for a one-night stay and left in the morning, so we were not able to enjoy all the amenities that the farm offered. However, this didn't stop the host from being very accommodating and wonderful. If you are in the area or even just passing through I would suggest you highly consider staying with these guys. If we are back in that area again we would definitely choose this place. Thanks for hosting us and being very kind. Five stars all around.
