Quaint place in an industrial neighborhood. The industrial noise goes away at night and it is an extremely pleasant and quiet place to camp. The brewery is awesome!

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
