You’ve Arrived! This privately owned land is 15 minutes south of Highway 64 and one hour from St. Louis. Your stay here includes access to a large indoor area with games via a keypad entry. The games include air hockey, ping pong, corn hole and fooseball. During favorable weather an outdoor basketball hoop will be set up. There is access to water from an outdoor hydrant and two separate 50 amp hook-ups are available if reserved (site 1 or site 3). The water from the hydrant is drinkable as it comes from the county water supply. Standard electrical outlets are available from inside the building. There is also a refrigerator that is shared/available to use provided that you do not leave anything in it upon your departure. The freezer side has ice-packs that you can help yourself to/take what you need. The building has speakers with a bluetooth adapter that you can connect with your phone to play music. There is not a dump station/black water disposal. There is an outhouse toilet.
The property contains Elkhorn creek which flows year round, but is very shallow. The creek follows near the western and southern portion of the attached property. Children will need to be supervised as even shallow water can be dangerous. There are three wide hiking paths that can be enjoyed with leave no trace principles. The forest is home to whitetail deer, raccoon, woodpeckers, a barred owl, frogs, chipmunks and squirrels.
Nearby attractions include a nature preserve, Washington County State Recreation Area (boat ramp access and possible dump station), the Rainbow Ranch, and various Illinois State Parks. If you want to get off the beaten path there is a wonderful butcher shop/sundries called Waller’s Market that is 10 minutes to the west and the town of Nashville is 15 minutes to the east and has various shops and grocery stores. Less than 5 minutes to the south is the B & B Quick mart.
The roads are very well maintained and easily navigable weather you drive a compact car, pull a travel trailer, or have a Class A. The road is paved. There is excellent cell phone reception.
The indoor wood-stove and the overhead door are not to be used. Please close all doors, turn off all lights and make sure everything is locked up before you leave the site. If you have a young child, please let me know so I can remove the ping pong and fooseballs at your request for safety purposes. By booking your stay you are agreeing that you will abide by the above rules and not hold the land owner or other parties involved liable for your health and safety. Please continue to take good care of the space so that others may also enjoy time with their friends and families.

What a great spot! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Quinn's Glamp Games Retreat. If I was a kid I wouldn't want to leave. Grass, woods, trails and a big barn full of games. Everything was in great shape and we enjoyed a few games of cornhole. This place was easy to find, peaceful, private... pretty much perfect as far as we're concerned. Our dog enjoyed it too - she was able to run, roam and sniff.

Our family has such a wonderful time at this hip camp! It was secluded enough with 4 sites separated by a central workshop building containing ping pong, foosball, air hockey, corn hole and bluetooth speakers. There was a portapotty with a sink. This is an ideal spot for a family to camp. We got groceries at a tiny market in a nearby town and settled in for a night of crickets chirping and peace. I would highly recommend this spot and would camp here again. Quin is very responsive to texts as well. Thank you for being a part of our vacation!

Beautiful, peaceful site. I don’t recall hearing any passing cars at all. We were the only campers for our one night stay. We used the game space to prepare our meals and relax before heading to bed. We heard lots of birds, and critters, including a pack of coyotes. Highly recommended!
