A gravel road will take campers to a primitive campsite within our Missouri hardwood forest.

There are many trails that will take hikers through elevations, some up to the top of Russell Mountain where you'll find one of many glades on the property.

We had a lovely stay! Our site was private, and the hosts were super accommodating—everything from brochures, to local recs, to homemade bread! Perfect location to visit all the surrounding state parks. We would definitely stay again.

We really liked this campground. Very clean and well maintained. Camp host was very nice and helped us with anything that we might need. Had nice showers and bathroom facilities. Also had laundry facilities. They also have cabins onsite. Just down the road from the Meramec Caverns and a couple of wildlife sites. About an hours drive to St Louis and to Hermann Mo.

The host was very accommodating. We arrived in the middle of the night and they worked with us for a quick and easy setup. Full hookup was conveniently located and worked well. Restrooms/showers were updated and clean. Very nice property and despite Mother Nature dealing them a few ruff blows, they are working diligently to continue improvements on their property.
