Located at the confluence of the Meramec River and Labarque Creek, my place (Matt's Place) is a ridge above a bottomland bowl of sorts. The old iron truss bridge here is likely built in 1910 and it has a survey marker from 1932. The creek has a nice little swimming hole, and a beach that is sometimes sand, sometimes, gravel, and sometimes a mix of both with some silt or even mud after a storm. It's peaceful down there to explore in the creek, wade while looking outward to an opening into the Meramec River. It's also fun to stand just at the mouth of the creek in the Meramec River. It's an awesome view upstream or downstream of tree lined banks, rock bluffs, and every now and then, passing boats, canoes, paddle boards, or kayaks. The old iron truss bridge hovers above the meeting of two waters. The water is cool and clean. Some fifty species of fish have been recorded in this creek, the most in all of Jefferson County and St Louis County. The bottomland has two levels, the lower bottoms down by the creek and the upper bottoms about a hundred feet from the creek. The upper bottoms has a clearing like a meadow with mowed grass. My favorite things to do here include gazing up at a cottonwood tree that must be sixty feet tall. It's leaves in a breeze are like a thousand hands waving hello. The bottomland meadow offers just enough sky to see bats dance in the dusk air between the trees, then fireflies as it gets darker yet. Up top is where I live. Just five miles off HWY 44 and HWY 109, at Eureka, MO, (30 minutes west of downtown St Louis, 18 minutes from Six Flags) this place sits on a ridge with great views above the Meramec River.

Grand Army Farm is a family owned working farm. We raise beautiful angora goats for fiber and have chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and meat goats. We serve local restaurants and participate in many local area farmers market. We pride ourselves in minimizing our carbon footprint, to the extent that we don't own any heavy piece of farm equipment, not even an ATV. The working portion of the game only accounts for 15 % of the land. What this means is that 85% of the wooded acres is available for you HipCampers to hike and explore. Of particular interest is the site of an old moonshine distillery hidden in the woods, a 20 min hike east of your campsite. Legends has it that the moonshine was illicitly produced during Prohibition and sold in the loft of our biggest barn where people would drink and dance the night away. The property boats of gorgeous mature oak trees, hickory trees and newer cedar stands where nature abounds. In the morning you may see the herons fly in or the Canadian geese come in.Learn more about this land:Pitch your own tent by our 5 acres lake. You will hear the frogs croak at night, see sights of blue herons or Canadian geese flying in, and hear our own geese and ducks greet you from across the lake. You will see my goat barn and see the majestic angora goats with shimmering coats come in for their feedings in the morning and leave to go to pasture afterwards. You will be a 10 min walk from our house and have complete privacy.  If you would like to make a fire, there is plenty of wood available to pick up on site.  A map on the patio fridge will show you where water is available and the hiking trail head.

I was headed home from travel in the upper north east back to Texas when I had the opportunity to stay Ryan’s land for one night. I will definitely return if traveling through there again! Although technically close to his home, the site is located behind a silo/garden area and feels very private. Ryan provided firewood and ice water free of charge. I enjoyed my last campfire of an extended trip overlooking his farmland. Free range chickens and cows just over the fence were fun neighbors for the night. In the morning, Ryan also gave me a half dozen eggs free of charge, which I used for breakfast the next couple mornings. Yum! I was thankful there were ZERO biting insects. Tiny yellow flies were everywhere but did not bite. So all good 😂 Yep. Definitely will stay again if in the area and need a stopover spot.

Spring Lake Ranch is a great low key spot for camping! We love the lake with docks and a small sand area. We enjoy swimming and fishing. The creek at the entry of the campground is a fun place to stop and let the kiddos play. The camper section is right next to the horses - we love to walk over and see them! There is also a great winery right up the road that is kid friendly. We packed up the kids and snacks and enjoyed an afternoon there! The spots could use some maintenance. The weeds were tall. Our campsite didnt have a picnic table, which was a bummer, but we were with friends so we just sat at their site most of the time. Overall, we love this campground and will continue to return!

Convenient (easy on/off the highway), safe (fenced, gate with lock, and I believe security cameras), level site with full-hook-up off alley and tucked behind residence in a block of downtown St. Louis with other buildings in the area undergoing renovations. Solo, full-time, female traveler and NEVER felt unsafe. Less than 5 miles to Gateway Arch National Park and other major attractions in St. Louis. I had an opportunity to meet Jeff when he stopped by to water the garden. I mentioned that I had driven through several construction zones and my LTV was very dirty. He graciously offered the use the water to spray off my van! He and his wife, Kim are not only extremely knowledgable about St. Louis, but were incredibly generous with their time, messaging me their favorite places to visit, transportation options, and vegan restaurants! Would definitely stay at Urban Surprise anytime I visit St. Louis! Like others have reported the alley is NOT level, so slow speed and GOAL (get out and look) are both important, when backing in or out of the site.
