Weekend Trip to Big Muddy Brewing

Had a great time staying here. The sites are gravel but level enough. The brewery has a great selection of beers (the Vanilla Stout was my favorite) and everyone was very friendly. The area is quiet on the weekends but during the week there are a lot of trucks coming and going from the aggregate depot across the street. I definitely recommend checking this place out.

Camping as Scott's property was awesome! The campsite was secluded, quiet, and peaceful. Finding the campsite was a little hard but luckily Scott was extremely responsive and helpful when I called him to locate the campsite. If you're looking for a peaceful campsite, Scott's place is it! Would definitely come back here
