Happy Trails farm is a beautiful refreshing place that you can relax, and connect with the family farm life. We were established Oct. 27th, 2007, and it's our "Acres of Diamonds" (Earl Nightengale). There are 20.11 acres of farm life to share with you. We do many things to help keep the farm going, and moving towards being self supporting. Such as pony rides, birthday parties, weddings, camp outs, and so much more. We sell fresh laid farm eggs for $5 cash a dozen. To purchase eggs, call or text Nancy (618)601-4645 Pony rides are $30 cash, and by appointment only. They are hand led, and approximately 20-30 minute. The child will be hand led around the farm. If you would like to schedule a ride please message Maryann @ (618)610-9282. We also house and run Happy Trails Horse Rescue (501c3) non for profit, and accept donations. Some of the things you will experience and see are: volunteers helping out; horses, mules, donkeys, chickens, ducks, geese, turkey, goats, llama, and many others. We are a small and important resource to the overall well being of the community. We look forward to seeing you on the farm! Check-in is between 2pm-9pm. No late night check-ins. Cancellations must be made by 2pm the day before your reservation. Happy Trails Farm Resort is a great place to get lost and find a connection. We are a small homestead family farm with many farm animals. Come pitch a tent under the farm stars. Happy Trails :)

Great animals, hard to sleep

Overall had a great experience. The animals are adorable, sunset was beautiful, lots of chairs and such you can use. However, there’s some big facility across from the campsite that has lights that are insanely bright all night. Plus, it’s really to the loud train station. We couldn’t sleep.

It’s a really peaceful place and we love seeing all the animals. Just a super easy spot to get to and from STL—so happy we found it!

Site 3 - Happy Trails Farm Resort

Be aware:

Authentic property tucked away in the St. Louis area. We really enjoyed seeing the farm animals and livestock in the area. Unfortunately, the common area fire pits & outdoor cooking pit were not made apparent to campers. Be prepared for many folks accessing the property at any time of the night (farmhands, volunteers, etc). The property is directly behind a Walmart so you will be able to see bright lights and hear trucks unpacking throughout your stay. We ended up leaving less than 4 hours into our stay due to a family of skunks surrounding our campsite and accessing the neighboring fields.

Everything I needed for a quick trip to Evansville. Very simple. The firewood bundle deal is worth it!

This was a very accommodating site. It was very quiet at night which was nice. The sounds of the animals in the morning was also enjoyable.

Close to the Gateway Arch

This location worked perfectly for staying the night and visiting the Arch in the morning. No parking downtown for a camper. We arrived before 9pm with our 28’ fifth wheel. There is a small hill to enter the farm. We parked by the last horse corral. Enjoyed visiting with the horses and hearing the peacock in the distance. Communication was great and quick. Walmart is very close by. The Chain of Rocks bridge (Route 66) is just down the street. Just a nice unique place to stay.
