Campsite #2 "Tucked Away"

We loved tent camping on the property, the site was tucked away and we were the only ones there so that was nice. Would definitely come back

High & Dry -- Campsite #1

The site was great and as described. Very clean bathroom as well and plenty of firewood. Peaceful and close to many great parks. Definitely recommend.

High & Dry -- Campsite #1

This site was a wonderful home base to visit Elephant Rocks SP, Johnson's Shut-ins SP, Pickle Springs Natural Area, and Taum Sauk SP! The campfire ring and picnic table helped make for a really easy set-up, and the potable water was helpful (and tasty)!

Campsite #2 "Tucked Away"

Remote from the main roads, but not inaccessible, and a great launching point for a lot of adventures in the area. Plenty of good firewood, water, and toilet access, and a great view of the stars.

High & Dry -- Campsite #1

Nice place, easy to find. For quietness I give it a 4 out of 5. The toilet is a porta potty which seemed clean. Very close to a lot of great sites like Johnston shut-ins, the Castor and Black rivers, and dozens of hiking spots.

High & Dry -- Campsite #1

friendly

the hosts very friendly.... place nice, clean... i stayed at campsite 1... i put my tent by the stream bc i didnt want to have it on the gravel.. but unfortunately, lots of ticks since of course i was in the trees/brush ... but my bites are severe... so make sure to i guess... avoid doing that. great that they love dogs... they had 2 friendly dogs who greeted my dog... i guess the ticks were my fault not the campsite... but im going to urgent care today bc i was covered 😧 with bites. dog was fine bc he's on montly pills... i wish they would make pills like that for humans the stream was so clean and nice... but then it mysteriously disappeared... i'm not familiar with the ozarks... do the small streams just get sucked into their unseen sources like that??? wow. that was on the second to last day- it didnt dry up... it was several feet deep in places! this was more of a note than a review... as far as that... well... leaving notes for the hosts and future campers... it was very near to beautiful hiking places.... as they do name this, the base camp. 🌅🌲also, the host told me of plentiful water pumps that i was welcome to use around the camp... i'm not used to the general area... someone must have more tick iq than myself.... 😥 the tiny ones got me... just... all over . maybe 70 in my skin the bigger ones, i was able to remove while camping
