Camp, Swim, BBQ, wade the creek, enjoy the campfire! Primitive Camping. Very Private. Water is cool and clear. Open to the stars. A great place to commune with nature, or enjoy some peace and quiet! 12 mile creek runs directly through our property. Shallow and deep all throughout. Great for wading, swimming, floating, kayaking. Great small mouth fishing! We are approximately one mile by water from the St. Francois River. We have kayaked down the creek to the river for many years. The farm is very rural. We are 16 miles to the closest gas station, and 25 miles to town. There is no internet. Cell phone service is spotty at best. Currently a working farm, we have 2 high tunnels on the property behind the house, and our original market garden. Across the creek we are finishing up our 5 acre agroforestry planting. 3 acres of elderberries and 2 acres of blackberries. 28 acres, 3 on one side, and 25 on the other. The farm is located approximately 2 hours south of St. Louis. Fredericktown is 30 mins away. Food, Drinks, Golf, and Lalo's Mexican Restaurant! There are a ton of local antique shops, and outdoor activities.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
This campsite offers a serene and private getaway, ideal for those seeking peace and natural beauty. Many campers appreciate the clear swimming hole and the excellent stargazing opportunities it provides. The site is quite secluded, which adds to its charm, but also means that a 4-wheel drive is recommended, especially in wet conditions. While most feedback is positive, a few have mentioned challenges with navigation and terrain, so be prepared for a true rustic adventure.

Tent camped at Campsite #3 Swimming Hole with pets, Aug 2026.
Recommends
We loved camping here and are already planning to go back! We had so much fun swimming in the creek, and we enjoyed listening to all the animals while we sat around the fire each night. It was so private and beautiful, and we had amazing views of the stars both nights we were there. This was the perfect getaway that we needed before the busy school year begins next week.

Tent camped at Campsite #3 Swimming Hole, Jun 2026.
Recommends
Myself, my husband, son, and nephew stayed 2 nights at site #3. It was very beautiful, peaceful and felt completely safe. The site was spacious and the swimming hole was cool and crystal clear. There was even a need to change dates and Melissa’s allowed us to do to avoid strong storms moving through. We will definitely stay there again!
