Stories from the community

3 nights at McCully Heritage Project

The area, and all surrounding areas, were clean, private and peaceful. I appreciated the bathrooms and the toilet tissue paoer was hilarious! :)

Weekend Trip to Hagood Farms and Trails

Awesome experience! The sites are kept up with and spaced out around the pond (that we caught a whole bunch of fishy’s out of ;)). The owners were also so so nice and told us about different things around the area and offered to show us their animals. 10/10 time

Weekend Trip to Hagood Farms and Trails

We had a wonderful time camping here! The hosts were so friendly and welcoming to us! We loved fishing at the pond and hearing the bull frogs at night. Our two dogs came with us and they enjoyed the spot too!

Weekend Trip to Hawks Bluff Farm Campground

We loved this place so much! The animals were so much fun, creek is so beautiful, the rocks are immaculate, and the owners of the property are so kind. It seems like they are adding more and more daily! Be prepared for poison ivy and poison oak it’s all over! I highly recommend staying here!!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Waters At Buttercup Ranch

We had a blast and caught a lot of fish (bass & crappie). Very quiet and relaxing. Mary was very helpful and provided us with firewood

Weekend Trip to Such and Such Farm Swimming Hole

It was the perfect little spot! We would definitely come back. Would be perfect for a weekend long stay! The kids loved the hammocks and the swimming hole.

Weekend Trip to Hummingbird Hollow Outdoors

I enjoyed my stay so much I booked another trip the day I left! The property and accommodations anre amazing! The tent has everything needed so you can pack light. Everyone had an incredible time petting the animals, including my tween!!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Waters At Buttercup Ranch

Rich and Mary were very kind and enjoyable to talk to. They met us when we went to the wrong gate and showed us to our spot. We only stayed one night, but I would love to go back for a longer stay. The one thing to note was that there were a lot of bugs, but that was expected due to the location and lake. I definitely recommend this site!

Weekend Trip to Hummingbird Hollow Outdoors

Another great stay at the yurt! We loved the addition of the 3rd mattress and had the perfect amount of space for our family of 5.

2 nights at Sugarloaf Creek

Site is a good base camp for seeing Cahokia, St Louis or other sites in the area. Electric hookup was good 30 AMP.

4 nights at The Magic Land Homestead

It had all the sights and sounds of a homestead. Roosters, chickens, ducks and dogs greeted us in the mornings. The A-Frame was very comfortable, cozy, and eclectic. We had everything we needed for a long weekend. Laura Lynne is a very thoughtful host, and everything we could have needed was present, clearly labeled, and had instructions on how to use it in case you're unfamiliar. Though we did not need any of these items, the A-Frame had a good first aid kit, supplies in case of a power outage, and a box full of commonly forgotten item. As someone who does education on substance abuse, I want to give Laura Lynne two big thumbs up on including Narcan with the first aid kit. Stocked shelves of books and games were an unexpected and fun bonus! You can do as much or as little as you want to here. While we heard other people, the sight lines from the A-Frame were very carefully guarded and we were able to feel like we were alone on our little bit of creation. It was very restful. Make sure you walk down and check out the beautiful creek.

1 night at Grove On Top Possum Hill

What a peaceful night listening to the frogs chirping!

4 nights at St Louis Co private wildwood farm.

Fantastic location and a wonderful host! Our stay was fantastic!

Weekend Trip to Timberline Ridge

Fantastic views! Very peaceful and private. We will be back. Highly recommend! Thank you for the most relaxing camping experience.

Weekend Trip to Hawks Bluff Farm Campground

This was my first ever experience with Hip Camp and I'm blown away. Elizabeth and Mark is hands down some of the friendliest people! Everywhere you walk you can find gems! We got to set up our tent right by the pond so we had easy access to the kitchen, fishing and the friendly farm animals. We had a blast and can't wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to St Louis Co private wildwood farm.

Quiet, great spot, and Michael was very helpful getting us set up.

What an awesome amazing adventure! This is absolutely the best place for vacation/camping! Liz was so helpful the entire time and so friendly we felt like family.

The property boats of gorgeous mature oak trees, hickory trees and newer cedar stands where nature abounds. In the morning you may see the herons fly in or the Canadian geese come in.Learn more about this land:Pitch your own tent by our 5 acres lake.

Grove On Top Possum Hill

4 sites · Tents4 acres · Worden, IL

The Legend of Possum Hill is an old one. Most likely named thus even before the settlers arived in St. Louis. Before the great expansion west and before the Gateway Arch graced the sky. Wild was the west and animals roamed at will never having seen a man. The acient Indian tribe of Cahokia once had its own travelers who left their mounded cities of pyramids to explore and hunt for new adventure. It was on one of these travels a great storm arose from the spring sky bringing ice down from the heavens. The Indian party was hard pressed to find shelter from such turbulent winds, rain and it was even claimed they witnessed some snow blended in as well well! This particular spring the waters had risen quite high . With this latest storm the creeks and rivers were rushing over their banks. The Indians knew they had to find high ground. They knew they would only be safe in a shelter high enough the raging waters could not breach. Just when they were giving up hope for a suitable place they passed through a low lands grove treading through ankle deep waters when the land started to rise. And rise it did! Up they went up a steep climb and as they crested they found a large grove of hickories, Sycamore and Oak trees. The Indians prized such trees for their strong hard wood and towering hight. They found safety within them and upon chance several hollows in the ancient trees and quickly sheltered themselves in pairs. They weathered until the suns golden rays stretched accross the small pond. In one hollow a young Indian stirred and and he and his companion left their shelter. Reaching back into the tree they grabbed their packs and found hidden behind them, a family of possums who also hIad hid from the storm. Upon return to Cahokia the young Indian told of their travels and remembering the sheltering family of marsupials, he named the place in their honnor because they shared their shelter. And that is the Legend of Possum Hill.Learn more about this land:4 acres with scattered hickory and oak trees with a small fruit orchard in front of an acre size pond. Plenty of space to have a private camp site and enjoy the sounds of nature. Have a sit by the pond or relax in the shade. The evening could be spent grilling or sitting around the fire ring. Perfect for travelers just wishing for a place to stay while an event is in town or just a place to rest their head on the way through. 16 mies from SIUE and Edwardsvile 45 minutes from most of St. Louis. Far enough out in the country but close enough to the city to not miss out on the fun.

(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.

Camping near St Louis guide

Overview

Known as the Gateway to the West, St. Louis is more than a stopping point for travelers. This energetic Missouri city has a rich history showcased in parks, architecture, and museums. The elegant Gateway Arch rises over the city skyscrapers and the Mississippi River, serving as an iconic backdrop. Head to The Hill, a historic Italian neighborhood for some of the city’s best eats. The quirky City Museum is a must-see. The regions around St. Louis are surprisingly rural, with outdoor adventures to be found not too far from the city lights. From urban RV parks to serene public camping, this region has accommodations to fit your camping style.

Where to go

Downtown St. Louis and Forest Park

This is where the action is! Downtown is bustling with restaurants, live entertainment, and bars. Catch a Cardinals game, go up in the Gateway Arch for a bird’s-eye view of the city, or walk along the shores of the epic Mississippi River. Forest Park was the site of the 1904 World’s Fair, and today, some of the architecture remains, with a free zoo, art museum, science center, and more nestled amid the gently rolling green hills. Camping is hard to find close to downtown, but there are a few urban RV parks and private campsites to be had.

Eureka, Missouri

Eureka has attractions of its own to explore, including Six Flags, Route 66 State Park, and several conservation areas. A solid choice for camping near St. Louis, Eureka has some private RV resorts, offering full hookups, free wifi, swimming pools, and family entertainment.

Dr. Edmund A. Babler Memorial State Park

When to go

Summers can run quite hot and humid in St. Louis, but this is a popular time to visit. Grab a campsite with electric hookups, if you want to crank the AC. Spring and fall are especially pleasant, with fewer crowds and cooler temperatures. Winter camping can involve freezing temperatures and precipitation, which makes planning somewhat unpredictable.
