Ryan was an excellent host! He was flexible with our arrival, kind and helpful during the entire stay. It is unusual to find electric and sewer hookups. It was quiet and peaceful, just what we were needing.

We had a lovely chill autumn stay! We were just traveling through and booked relatively last minute, Ryan was incredibly nice and helpful when we got in. Hopefully we will be able to stay a little longer if we swing through the area again!

Ryan was so accommodating and friendly! Staying at his spot completely exceeded expectations. We felt right at home, and highly recommend! Even though it was a short stay, thank you so much for accommodating us!

I loved my stay here! I stayed with my boyfriend, we will be bringing friends next time for sure, it's so beautiful there! We pet the cows, and a kitten came to say hi. Plenty of firewood and got yummy farm fresh eggs for home. Ryan was so much more than accommodating, honestly a great host. The stars, sunset and sounds are really an amazing experience.

This was my first time using Hipcamp. I'm on a bicycle touring trip, camping evenings in a tent. This is the only place to camp within a day's distance between where I was coming from and where I'd be the next night.
Ryan was right there to greet me when I arrived. He had a 5-gallon cooler filled with ice water waiting for me at the site. And what a beautiful site. The sunset views to the west were awesome!
Ryan offered me a chair to use, but I enjoyed sitting on a farm trailer that happened to be nearby.
It did rain all night, but the site is high enough that there are no flooding problems.
Communications with Ryan were easy - he was available for any needs.
I highly recommend this Hipcamp.

Grain Bin
We stayed at The Grain Bin for three nights—one adult and four kids—and it was an unforgettable experience! The unique setup on Ryan’s beautiful farm made for the perfect family-friendly getaway.
The grain bin itself is cozy and full of charm. It offered just the right amount of shelter while still giving us that rustic camping feel. The kids had an absolute blast exploring the farm and especially loved spending time with the animals—pigs, cows, chickens, Guinea fowls, and their favorite of all… the CATS!
Ryan and his family were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay, always making sure we had what we needed and making us feel welcome. The surrounding landscape is stunning, with corn and crop fields stretching out in every direction. Each evening, we were treated to gorgeous sunsets and the peaceful sounds of the farm—cows lowing in the distance, chickens clucking, and a general sense of calm that’s hard to find elsewhere.
This is a perfect spot for families, nature lovers, or anyone looking to slow down and soak in some quiet country beauty. We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful site and very friendly host. My only issue was several cats were on the property climbing on our equipment and getting in our vehicle.

Our family enjoyed Ryan’s campsite - and our kids especially enjoyed their friendly cats and watching the cows and chickens!
The weather was sketchy the night we were there, and while it ended up cooperating, Ryan was very accommodating and responsive as we discussed options.
We appreciate Ryan’s hospitality and enjoyed his property and animals!

Ryan is a super considerate host. He was so accommodating of our late arrival. He met us in the dark, provided water for us, directed us to a good parking spot and was just an all around pleasant host. Nice to be hosted by a fellow Christ-follower too.

We had a very nice time here! Ryan was very friendly and accommodating. The spot is not far from their home but it feels very private as it is surrounded by open fields. Our kids loved all the animals. We were looking for somewhere quiet that was not too far from St. Louis, and this worked out great.

Ryan was so friendly and inviting! The property is gorgeous! They have a whole farm and we really enjoyed interacting with the animals. I’m so glad we booked with them. I just wish we had found this campsite sooner! We had such a wonderful experience 😊

Ryan was such an amazing and accommodating host. There’s plenty of cute towns nearby but still super secluded. The space has various accommodations (toilet, fire pit etc) and was a great value. The one thing I will preface is bring an allergy pill if needed, as he has an adorable/extremely friendly kitten on the property :)

We were only there for one night, but it had all the makings of a perfect stay. Very friendly folks, great communication, easy to find, right on our route. Also 30 amp power, a sewer hook up and access to a water fill. Beautiful and peaceful surroundings. The spot was pretty flat and it was super quiet at night! We expected some animals to wake us up with the morning sunrise, but it was really quiet in the morning too. Chickens, hens, and roosters visited us and if you’re a cat person, be prepared to be greeted by eight friendly kitties :) It was great to be so close to the city, yet have such a peaceful and quiet overnight stay. We would definitely stay again if we were coming through the area— and probably for a bit longer next time too.

I enjoyed my stay here! You are close(ish) to the city, but planted firmly in a beautiful farming environment. You do get a little traffic on the road that runs by it. Not a soul bothered me and I was able to have a peaceful rest the night before leaving to the city for my convention. I would definitely stay there again next time I roll through.

My husband and I have been traveling full-time for 3 1/2 years and we love staying at unique sites. This was one of our favorite stays! We stayed for a week and enjoyed watching all of the animals run around. It was constant entertainment. Even though there was a lot of activity, it was very quiet and peaceful. It was a hot week (up into the 90s), but we had no issues running the air conditioning. Our AT&T signal was good and Starlink worked great (no obstructions). We had no issues getting our 27 foot travel trailer into the spot or getting level.
Ryan and Tanya are wonderful hosts and people! They helped refill our fresh water tanks and brought us farm fresh eggs (unbelievably delicious!). They also gave great recommendations for things to do in the area and were very responsive to any questions.
This site is also a fabulous location! We stayed here to be close to the city and it was less than 30 minutes to downtown St. Louis. There are also several grocery stores and gas stations within 15-20 minutes, so you don’t need to stock up prior to visiting.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will definitely stay again when we head back this way. Thank you Ryan and Tanya for sharing your beautiful property!

Ryan and his family are outstandingly hospitable and friendly. Their spot is quiet with lots of animals who greeted us during our stay. His spot is reasonably priced with electric and sewer hookups as well as fresh water available. It was nice to stay on his land and be close to the city.

We loved staying at Grain Bin due to the super friendly family that own the farm and the incredible quietness there. Ryan and his family are truly people you'd like to have for neighbors and they went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The location is literally behind a grain bin which gives you some privacy from the farm. There are chickens, turkeys, Guinea hens, cats, dogs and cows. None of them were a bother and all were quite at ease with us walking around the yard. At night it was dead quiet and we slept great! We filled with water while there and the water tasted great. It's from a well on the property. 30 minutes from downtown St Louis, MO
