Want to get away from it all? You found the right place. Situated a little over 4 miles off of Missouri Hwy 185 in the forest are 4 back-in Rv sites all with 50/30/20 Amp electric configured in a circle around a community camp fire. Nearby to State Parks and a bit of a drive to Mark Twain National Forest. This is a self service site.
Bring your own water and an empty lavatory tank. Twin Eagle Lake Campground is located 14 miles away on Hwy 185 and provides a water faucet and dump station for longer stays at an additional expense.
The property has a 4 foot chicken wire fence around it with barb wire on the top and a double gate at the entrance.

The gate has a combo lock on it. You will get the combo after booking your site. This piece of land just finished construction so it may be Summer of 2025 before I can get the grass to grow.
The gate can be left open while a campsite is occupied if all campers agree, but please close the gate and lock it if all sites are empty when you check out.
This is the wilderness, there are bugs, mosquitos, ticks, flys, bees, and things that bite and sting. Please prepare accordingly. By staying on my property, you are waiving any liability for me or any owner of the land.

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.

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.

This is just a small 5 acre section of land, partially wooded, partially open. It’s pretty flat and backs up to a few hundred acres of wooded property of our neighbors. It’s a nice & quiet spot with plenty of deer and wildlife. I’ve been wanting to develop the place into a campground as so right now, everything is extremely primitive. I do have my house on the property, but it’s my personal house, but there is water and electric that can be utilized if one were to have the will

This campsite was clean, private, and absolutely wonderful! The fire pit was very large, which made for a great experience, and I really appreciated the cooking tools available since we forgot one of ours. The view of the moon at night was beautiful and added such a peaceful touch.
My dog even got to make friends with a horse, which was such a special moment, and all of the animals were delightful. Randy was very friendly, and generous with his space.
I will camp here again!

Man… this place just hits right.
If you’re looking for peace, privacy, and that “get away from everything” feeling, this is it. Felt like I had my own little slice of the world out there—quiet, still, and exactly what I needed to reset. One of those spots where you wake up, take a breath, and just kinda smile for no reason.
Everything was dialed in without trying too hard. Just simple, real, and done right.
And shoutout to Randy—good dude. You can tell he genuinely cares about the place and the people staying there. That always makes a difference.
Already looking forward to coming back. This one’s special

Im hesitant to write this review because im afraid our spot will be discovered! Randy met us when we got there and gave a brief history of the farm, directed us to our site and other than that we really didnt see or hear anyone. They supply firewood for a HUGE fireplace, there is a cabinet with essentials, randy was quick to respond the 2 times I reached out, 1 for a bucket for water (its well water and literally the best water ive ever had) and another bc i burned up a ton of wood and thought we might need more. There's a creek that runs through the property that would be awesome in the summer, and they have horses, turkeys, and chickens that we saw. The only thing I would consider a 'negative' is youre in nature and they dont nuke it with pesticides and the ticks were horrible. It was a warm weekend in March and the ticks were out in full force and we all eneded up with a couple despite bug spray. We did go the following weekend, I treated our pants, sweatshirt cuffs, socks and tent with Sawyers before we went and im not sure if it was cooler temps or the spray but we did not see any!

Everything went well!! It was our second visit and our first time of the season this year. We had problems getting our electric working right and they helped us figure that out. Then, they noticed our water was leaking a lot where we had it hooked up so they helped us fix that which made our water inside the camper flow better than it ever has. We also went horseback riding. It was a super fun time. Our horses were great and our guide, Jonathan, the owner, was awesome! Had a great time talking with him. Everyone tha we talked to was super nice! We will definitely be back!

I went camping on spring break with 6 of my friends, it was some of our first times camping and we loved it! The owner was very nice and communicative, the showers weren’t working while we stayed but that wasn’t a huge deal to us and he notified us in advance. Very secluded and peaceful! We absolutely loved it and will definitely be back.

I really enjoyed camping at Water Mountain. Lance was great and really enjoyed talking with him.
I arrived after dark and stopped by the house. Lance gave me some direction and off I went.
They had wood by the fire ring and a jug of water near by when I found my camping spot. It was a great place to star gaze. Just beautiful…
If I’m ever back in the area, I’ll stay here again.

Absolutely wonderful secluded camping, this place offers showers and all sorts of activities if you’re interested in that. While we didn’t do any extra activities the campsite alone had a wonderful view over the lake. We brought our own kayaks, but if need you can rent those at the office too! The fishing was absolutely fantastic. I caught more fish than I did all last summer in one trip. They’ll bite anything but I had the most luck on a swirl tail. We will definitely be back!

Our group of 6 (including 3 kids ages 5-8) had a fantastic experience! We stayed at the pasture creek site, and our boys loved being so close to both the horses and the creek. The site was very well-stocked, including firewood, trash cans, a cabinet with cooking supplies, outhouse…Randy and Milissa thought of everything. Very quiet and peaceful site, but close enough to walk to the main house and barn so our boys could see the chickens and turkeys. Randy communicated very well and very patiently answered our boys’ questions about the property and animals. Highly recommend for families with young kids who want a quiet stay with some animals and creek play thrown in!
