Sage Mountain is a recreational area located in the heart of Missouri wine country. Located between Hermann and Washington on the south side of the Missouri river. Our 50 acres of virgin forest is home to an abundance of diverse wildlife, 3.6 miles of hiking trails, bolted climbing and bouldering routes established, and a large impressive cave. We are located near the Katy trail for more hiking and biking. Access to the Missouri river for boating and fishing. On site we have an abundance of areas for back country camping, or we allow car camping in our open parking lot.

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Sage Mountain offers a secluded and peaceful camping experience, with plenty of trails to explore and natural features like rock formations and caves. Most campers appreciated the privacy and the beauty of the landscape, noting it as a great spot for those seeking solitude. However, some visitors did experience challenges finding the location and mentioned the trails being overgrown, impacting accessibility. Despite these issues, many found the property beautiful and Arthur, the host, helpful and responsive.

    Doesn't recommend

    The area was nice and quiet, but the grounds were not well maintained. The hiking trails were overgrown and unused. Attached a photo of a disc golf hole as an example of how things looked in general.

    very private and secluded. The property is absolutely incredible. What a gem. I had a great time exploring all the trails and caves and rock walls. My pup enjoyed the place as much as I did. we had the whole rec area to ourselves. I celebrated my 50th birthday out there and I don't think I could have topped it elsewhere. Love your land. I'll be back and I'll let all I know that this is a must see if traveling across Missouri. Thank you very much.

    It was very peaceful. We did come in after very heavy rain and then needed to move to a higher space.
