Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Property is on 5 acres that used to be part of the neighboring farm. It is located south of Columbia, just a mile from the old Pierpont General Store and less than 2 miles from Rockbridge Memorial State Park. The property has a large garage which now houses an office and storage, and has a convenient circle drive for entry/exit. There is a large concrete pad for parking. The surrounding land is about half cleared yard space lined by large trees, and the other half has been left as natural meadow space. It is quiet, private, and serene!You can park your RV or auto on the flat concrete pad, or use the gravel circle drive as a pull-through. Tent camping is allowed on the north side (by the bowling ball sculpture!) or behind the building on the large, flat lawn areas. The property has a large garage on site, but it is only used March through December on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursday’s from 9-5, so you will otherwise have total privacy and quiet. (IF your booking intersects with business hours, I will let you know since we will need a portion of the concrete pad for parking.)

Pierpont Garage
It was perfectly level and very close to Rock Bridge Memorial Park. Also, it was secluded enough to run our generator without disturbing anyone. We saw a lot of wildlife and farm animals that would stray over in the mornings, which we enjoyed. Overall, it was good, perhaps a tiny bit expensive for what it was. However, after hiking at Rock Bridge on Sunday morning we came back to another car and couple at the establishment. At first it seemed like they were just diagnosing car trouble, but not doing anything particular. They had access inside the building, but it wasn't open. They wore winter coats and hats, but it was like 65 degrees out. They were there for a few hours and eventually just drove off. I'm sure there could be some perfectly normal explanation. Still was all a bit odd, unexpected, and weirded out my wife.

We loved camping here for Mizzou's homecoming. Close enough to enjoy all the activities but secluded enough to enjoy some peace and quiet when we needed it. Our dogs loved having all the space and we even got to see deer on the property. The directions and tips from the host were all very clear and helpful for our stay. 10/10 would stay here again.

Spacious area with pull thru asphalt and concrete pad to set up on. Just far enough out to be peaceful and quiet.

This place was very quiet, peaceful, and about 10-15 minutes from town. Perfect. Melissa was wonderful- very communicative and gracious. I would give this campsite an award for the biggest surprise. I didn’t know what to think from the listing. A garage? Well it was just the right balance between accessibility and privacy. Thank you.

Our stay at Pierpont Garage was great! Our host Melissa was very helpful communicating with us about the details for our stay (wifi, directions, etc...). The camping location was ideal for a quick weekend getaway for us. We would definately stay again.
