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.

Campsite #3 Swimming Hole
Excellent swimming hole. You gotta leg it a bit to get to the river but there’s some good small mouth finishing there.

Ideal Missouri Camping Spot
#3 is a beautiful, private and peaceful spot. There was plenty of room and lots of sun and shade options. The creek was clear and cool and had deeper spots to swim and shallower ones to wade or park a chair in. It was definitely a unique and memorable spot to camp.

Nice Paradise Off-road Experience
This place was spectacular. VERY HIDDEN little paradise. The campsite is passed the owner's property across the bridge. After we made it to the campsite the place is about 1/2 mile inward through a narrow path. I, as well as others, recommend using a 4-wheeled vehicle for this campsite. I even managed to almost get stuck arriving to the campsite but got unstuck in less than 5 minutes. Just be careful and go slow. The campsite is wonderful and magical. Very calming. The rocks help with the bugs. We were barely untouched with the bugs in this area especially camping in August. I recommend this campsite to the campers that would like really private, secluded, but luckily still had some cell service (surprisingly once at the campsite). The first time we had to actually camp and bring our own toilet. I didn't mind it at all. Beautiful spot to swim or relax near the water and read a book. Highly recommend this wonderful little paradise. Can't wait to come back and experience campsite #2!!!

Campsite #3 Swimming Hole
Saco getaway.
Perfect spot. Normally camp gravel bars canoeing Jacks Fork, Current, Eleven Point, etc. Wanted a quick get away without all the logistics and prep to float camp. This was exactly what I was looking for. Super private. Good sandy tent spot. Swimming hole. Firewood. Shade. Sun. Favorite car camp I have done. Definitely need 4x4. Trail in is about 1/2 mile drive and is very over grown. Another reason I loved this spot so much. Little secret hide away. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
