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.

Please come and relax, read a book, draw a picture, or simply let the sounds of nature lull you to sleep. We believe you will leave rejuvenated!

We had a lovely 3 night stay on Ryan and Tanya’s beautiful property. The site was large, level and easy to maneuver around with a west facing view. Every sunset was stunning. It was very private with 30amp and sewer. We filled our fresh water tank when we arrived. There are hoses long enough to reach the site if you need to refill. The hosts were easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions. St Louis is an easy 30 minute drive if you want to explore. There are also a couple small towns that are closer with provisions, restaurants, coffee shops, etc.
Ryan and Tanya were wonderful, kind hosts.
We will definitely stay again next time we’re in the area.

I really enjoyed camping at Sudden Valley. I was looking to get away from everything and a public campground is usually too close to your neighbors. I wanted solitude. The Top of the Ridge site was perfect. The site is tucked back into the woods with was plenty of room to spread out with multiple tent sites in that area to choose from - tucked into the trees or out in the open. It would be great for a family with a couple of tents and still have room for games like corn hole or washers. I’ll probably bring my grandkids next summer. Randy got me set up with firewood and the scoop on the property, then I wasn’t bothered the rest of my trip, well, except for Molly, one of their dogs, that dropped by for a visit each morning for a quick pet.

We had an amazing time, even though there was unexpected rain and a freeze warning…we will definitely be coming back when the weather is warmer!! The campgrounds were very spacious and private. The supplies were well stocked, they think of everything you could need! The horses were so cute, and my kids loved the turkeys. We can’t wait to come back!!

Camping at the farm was a truly cozy and welcoming experience. The site was easy to locate and simple to pull into, making arrival a breeze. Conveniently situated near the bathrooms and showers—which were impressively clean and well-maintained. The animals were very friendly, adding to the peaceful surroundings. We enjoyed the hiking trails, which were clearly marked and offered a great way to explore the property. The hosts were inviting. We'd be thrilled to return for another stay.

I found the site On Top of the Ridge to be a wonderful place to tent camp. There was a table, plenty of firewood, a cabinet with camping supplies and an awesome private outhouse just for this campsite. It was a short walk to visit the horses. The whole farm with multiple barns, fields, trails and really beautiful horses was well maintained. The owner was so gracious and welcoming. It was an easy drive from the interstate on my way from Nashville to Denver.

We loved camping on Hideaway Ridge at Sudden Valley! Randy greeted us and gave us a little history on their beautiful land. The horses were gorgeous, and their cutie dog Molly greeted us in the morning before we left. The outhouse was also super clean, and the supplies they had on hand were so helpful! Will be back!

First and foremost, Randy was great. I’m usually not a dog person, but Molly is cool totally and has “chill dog” vibes. She’s great.
This location is probably the largest campsite I’ve stayed at. It’s totally suitable for families or groups. You could easily get 4 tents in there, with room to spare if desired. The space is insulated by loads of trees and forest, so you’ll have plenty of privacy. If you have a pensive camper or someone who hasn’t done a lot of camping, this would be a great gateway drug to the backcountry, as you’ll feel somewhat isolated while not being that far off the pavement.
There’s a ton of deadfall all around, so firewood isn’t an issue. I had a small handsaw and that was perfect. There was a big pile of firewood to get you going (worked out well since I was moving slow anyway) and a large fire pit to keep everything contained.
This site also has the best vault toilet I’ve used, ever. It’s all painted up, sealed, and clean. They even have motion sensor lights that kick on after dark so you can see what you’re doing in there. This was so important as my back was in pain and being able to sit down on something large and stable was necessary.
This campsite was remote and quiet enough to be peaceful, while also having comfort items like well water and a toilet, that made it both pleasant and accessible for someone with disabilities.
It’s only an hour away, so I hope to comeback when the creek is running. Thanks folks!

The Birch Back-In RV site isn’t just a stop, it’s the kind of place that makes you slow down without realizing it. The pond caught us first—quiet, glassy, the kind of water that makes you want to skip rocks and forget about time. The free kayaks and paddle board weren’t just perks, they were an invitation to get out there and live a little. We stayed, we breathed, we laughed. Tremendous place. We definitely will be back.

Very private, nicely cut grass, beautiful sunset. Great location from St Louis. Michael met us, guided us to our spot and showed us the hookups.
We used the small firepit. Michael had some wood we were able to use. We stopped here overnight on our way back to Dallas.
